Sookie's P.O.V

They had been driving in silence for hours. Sookie pretended that she was asleep so that she wouldn't have to small talk with the vampiresheriff.
Eric tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and quietly sang something for himself.
Soon his words started to fade and she wasn't realizing that she was drifting off to sleep for real.

A sharp poke in her side woke her up abruptly.
"Goodmorning sleeping beauty. We're here." Eric whispered and shook her gently.
Sookie grunted and kept her eyes shut as a few more minutes of sleep felt necessary.
Eric sighed and picked her up over his shoulder. That sort of intimacy was something that Sookie wasn't going to accept. She started kicking and screaming as she noticed that she was hanging over the old vampire's shoulders.
"Shit, calm down!" Eric said and let Sookie go. She fell to the ground and landed on her bottom. She sat in that position for a while and pouted like a child.

"We have to get checked in now. The sun is about to rise." Eric said unpatiently and stared at the stubborn female. Sookie reluctantly got up and started walking towards the huge building that was going to be their hotel.

"Eric, do you know that you snore?" Sookie asked. Eric stared dumbfounded at her
"That is a lie that I'll deny until the day I die." Eric snorted as he opened the door and got into the lobby.
"You're already dead." Sookie muttered quietly behind his back.
Eric approached the woman that sat in the reception and smiled flirtaciously.
"I would like to book two seperate rooms for a week, please." He said.

Eric's P.O.V

The receptionist quickly scanned her computer.
"There's only one room left, sir." She stated and took her thickrimmed glasses off.

I hope the money I spent on her to say that is going to be worth it.

Eric shrugged apologizing towards Sookie.
"We'll take it." He then said. The receptionist smiled and gave Eric the key to the room.
Sookie looked disgusted as she realized that was going to be in the same room as Eric.
Eric had planned this trip with Sookie for weeks. It would be his only chance to get close to her. He had paid the receptionist a whole lot of money so that she would say that they were out of rooms. But the rest was up to Eric himself.

Sookie's P.O.V

"If there isn't a couch in there I'll be sleeping on the floor." Sookie spat at Eric as they walked through the hotel's corridor.
Eric stopped in front of a room that was located near the hotel's restaurant.
"Here it is, room 15." He stated and put the key into the keyhole and turned it. The lock clicked and Eric opened the door.
The hotelroom was nothing out of the ordinary, except for the windows who were covered by boards on Eric's demand.
A kingsized bed were placed in a corner, and to Sookie's delight she found a dirty red couch in the other corner of the room. She watched Eric who immedeatly took his shoes off and sat down on the huge bed.
"I don't need you for anything today. You can just wander around in the corridors and do those things humans likes to do. But I want you to be back by the sunset." He said in a serious tone and shamelessly took his shirt off right in front of Sookie's eyes.

She quickly put her hands in front of her eyes as if they were burning and backed out of the room and shut the door. Her first impulse was to run away from the whole situation.
She hurried to the frontdoor but got stopped by a guard.

"I'm afraid that I can't let you leave, Mrs Stackhouse." He said.
"Why?" She asked desperatly. He looked at her with his grey eyes filled with compassion.
"I've been ordered to not let you out of here." He explained. Sookie sighed in defeat.
"What the hell am I supposed to do today?" She asked quietly.
The guard scratched his head as he was thinking.
"You could visit our restaurant and eat something. Or you could visit our gym or the salon. It's free of charge for all of our guests." He said proudly.

At least I have something to do now.
