The car ride was pretty silent. My thoughts started to spiral out of control. And just when I thought they were going to eat me alive Eric reached for my hand. It was amazing how with just a single touch of his skin to mine he was able to calm my mind and make me forget everything.

He finally broke the silence, "What did Bill say to you?"

I rolled my head to look at him, "He came to warn me about what a terrible vampire you were. And to inquire about the events that happened with Sookie today." I replied staring at his gorgeous face, that was glowing in the moonlight.

His eyebrows arched. "What events transpired between you and Miss Stackhouse?"

"She unloaded six years of pent up anger and resentment on me and she pushed me too far." I simply responded as I watched his jaw muscle tense. "She got knocked on her ass by something more powerful than she is."

"What's that?"

I grinned. "Me." He smiled back. "Where are we going?"

"Well that depends."

I cocked myself sideways in the seat to get a good look at him. "On what?"

He stopped in a parking lot on the side of the road and he turned to meet my glare. "Your decision." His deep blue eyes seemed more hopeful than they had been in centuries.

"If my decision is no, where does that leave us?" I asked leaning towards him.

He sat back against the seat and took a deep breath. "Nowhere."

"If my decision is yes, then what?" I climbed over the center console and straddled his lap.

He reached up and traced the neck of the t-shirt I had been wearing. "The world can be ours. I feel as though with you by my side nothing else matters. I can give you anything and everything that you could want or need." He cupped my face in his hands and pulled me towards him. When our lips met the world seemed to stop almost instantly. His hands traveled down and gripped the top of my t-shirt and he started to rip it. I grabbed his hands and pulled back.

"I don't have another shirt. And I'm not trying to go home naked." We both laughed. "Eric I-"

He stopped me. "Giselle, will you be my child, my mother and my, for lack of better words, wife?"

I smiled. "Eric I'd be more then happy to be everything to you. I love you Eric."

"I love you, too." The words escaped slowly from his lips. I leaned back in and kissed him more passionately than before. I felt his fangs expose themselves on the tender flesh of my lips. He nibbled a bit and drew a little blood. In between kisses he breathed, "You taste so good." I smiled knowing that it was a compliment.

We sat there entangled in each others arms for minutes before I finally broke our kiss yet again. I started to climb back over to my seat and his hands reached up to my hips and pulled me back onto his lap.

"Eric, my love, come on. We can save this for later."

"I'm going to hold you to that." He replied loosening the grip on my hips.

I climbed as gracefully as I could back to my seat. I slipped and ended up head first in the floor. I snorted as I began to laugh. Eric was amused and only offered a hard handed slap to my ass that had been mid-air while I was trying to wiggle out of the hole I was in.

"Thanks," I smiled back at him pulling myself up and on to the seat. Once I was situated he pulled out of the parking lot and began driving again. "So where are we going?"

"Fangtasia. I've a bit of business to attend to there before we leave." He hinted.

"Before we leave? Where are we going?" I questioned.

He smirked. "A little, shall we say, vacation." He glanced at me. "And that's all I'm telling you right now." My eyes widened, then I smiled. I figured I'd try and push my way into his thoughts and cheat to find out where we would be going. Turning to me he smiled, "Don't even think about it. You aren't going to trip me up that easily."

I rolled my eyes, "Okay, God." I huffed and folded my arms in front of me.

We pulled up at the backside of Fangtasia. Eric got out of the car and appeared at my door. He held it open and reached his hand out to help me. Once I stepped outside a chill went up my spine. It was unseasonably chilly for Louisiana. Eric pulled his black leather jacket off and was at my back holding it out for me to slip it on. I snuggled the jacket a little. It smelled of him which made me relax a bit. I lurched out and hooked on to his right arm. He looked down and grinned. We walked into the building and walked down the narrow corridor that led to Eric's office. We stopped in front of the black door, he unlocked it and pushed it open. I walked into the room and sat on the black leather sofa that rested against the wall to the side of his desk. He sat down behind the desk and he pulled out his sidekick and started texting away. It was business. Not even a moment later Pam entered the room.

"Giselle." She nodded in my direction. "Heard you gave Sookie a run for her money today. I must say you moved up a bit in my book. I never did like that blood bag."

I smiled. "That means a lot." Before Eric could hint to me to give him and Pam a minute to discuss business I was already up and exiting the office.

I walked down the hall towards the bar. It was empty because it was still early, business would pick up around midnight or 1 a.m. Hopefully Eric and I would be out of here before then. I couldn't stand the sight of vapid people eager to die or at least be bitten. They were pathetic. Plus there were a few of the female patrons that didn't very much approve of me, not that I cared but I didn't need to be angered and cause the building to collapse because of them. I sat on a stool at the bar and ordered a jack and coke. Sitting there sipping the drink I ordered I listened to the music playing over the radio. It wasn't long before Eric and Pam emerged from his office. Eric ducked under the archway that was the entrance of the hallway that led to his office. Pam walked past me.

"Eric's informed me of your decision. I'm glad it's you." She smiled and patted me on the back.

The door of the bar swung open and it was Sookie and Bill. She stomped in and right past Pam. She was headed straight towards Eric and I. She was pissed. I stood next to Eric with my arms wrapped around his waist, he had his left arm thrown around me.

"ERIC I NEED TO TALK TO YOU NOW!" She shouted stomping towards.

"Yes Sookie, what can I do for you?" His grin grew bigger as he sensed just how pissed she was.

I leaned in, "She's pissed because Bill told her you attacked him. But he didn't tell her the whole story."

"You attacked Bill tonight?! Why would you do such a thing. I knew you were low and sneaky but I didn't think you could be this low!" She spat out without breathing.

"You done?" I asked.

"No not that this concerns you!" She wanted to separate us.

"Actually it does." I said taking a step forward and closer to her.

"How so?" She questioned.

I smiled. Nothing would make my night better than to prove to her just how wrong she was. "Did Bill tell you why he was out this way?" She shook her head. "He just so happen to come across my car parked on the side of the road. I was sleeping and he woke me up."

"So that's not a crime!" She raised her voice one time too many for me.

"Stop raising your voice and listen. He come to ask me about Eric and I being soul mates, clearly due to your loose lips. He wanted it to be true because he wanted Eric to be done with you. And when I told him it was true he said he got why him and Godric liked me, there was something different about me. Then he tried to kiss me. That's why Eric shoved him." I placed my hand on my hip.

"I don't believe you. There's no way." She retorted.

I reached up and placed my hand on her shoulder and sent her a replay of the situation. Bill just lowered his head. She turned to him and looked at him.

"Okay that's not his fault, he tried to explain the rest to me but I wouldn't listen." She tried to cover up for Bill's actions.

"Maybe next time." Eric coldly added as he stepped back to my side. "Pam, escort Mr. Compton and Miss Stackhouse out of the building please."

Pam nodded and obliged her maker and sheriff. Once they were gone and out of sight Eric smiled at me and motioned for me to follow him as he walked back down the hallway towards his office. I followed. By this time the bar was beginning to fill up with people, human and vampire alike.

"You ready to go?" He asked holding the backdoor open.

I was still wearing his jacket. I nodded and walked out the door. We got back in my car and took off. We were headed back to his house. Godric was waiting on the porch. His faced shone brighter than the light emanating from the window. He was rocking back and fourth in the rocking chair, smiling. I stepped out of the car walked straight to the porch. I bowed my head a little as I approached Godric. He smiled and stood before me.

"I know my child. No words are needed." He wrapped his arms around me. He leaned forward to my ear and whispered, "You've made him happier than he's ever been." He pulled back nodded.
