There is a bit of a time skip but hopefully everyone will agree with it. There is reason for it. As always thank you fro all the love you've given!

"How did you know I love that song?" , he chuckles lightly saying I told him years ago. Labyrinth has been my favorite movie since I can remember. All those days spent watching it, or acting it out with my dolls. My parents bought me all the character dolls, from the worm to Jareth himself. It amazes me how much he knows about me.

"I did everything to make you happy. All the dolls I bought you, everything you wanted I gave you", I smile into the phone. Every time I hear his voice, my heart races. Oh Eric, it amazes me how quickly you've stolen my heart. "Selena?", I giggle realizing I've been in my thoughts when I should have been listening to him.

"Eric"

"Selena, I need time to find Alice"

"I know. Just don't keep me waiting too long okay?"

"Agreed"

"Eric...did you mean what you said before?"

"Yes"

"I won't say it until I'm back at your side."

"Fair enough"

"Good Night Eric", I hang up and walk to the bed. I snuggle down in my sheets and think of him. Slowly I drift to sleep. Dreaming of my sweet Viking.

Time has passed and I still haven't heard a word from Eric. At first it there was a phone call each day, then every week. Then a call each month. Then nothing. It's been a year now. A year without seeing him. Funny thing is an envelope is delivered to the house every month. Inside is money, it's always signed Ginger. So I'm guessing Pam has left her in charge of me.

Sookie has treated me so kindly. Making me feel like a true part of her family. Jason acts brotherly but sometimes he's a little touchy with me. But I don't let it bother me. My heart belongs to Eric.

Sam gave me a job at Merlotte's. Sookie gave me some pointers since this is my first job. She insisted that I stay with her. So I've been living with her, paying for groceries or doing whatever I can to help her. Alcide comes to stay with us most weekends. Jason is always over for dinner. I don't ever feel alone, but I do long for Eric. Just to be in his strong arms again.

Is it weird that I count myself in a relationship? Well I do. No one catches my eye as much as he did. Does. Well right now did. Work and home has kept me busy. Keeping my mind occupied feels best. Some days I get asked out but I always deny them. I wish Eric would walk through the door, pulling me into his arms. He would hold me tight and kiss me.

I feel eager to be held. Today I've spent most of the day outside. Working on my tan I told Sookie. But I just needed to be alone with my thoughts. Here I sit in the grass with my legs crossed, lost in my thoughts. Jason's truck pulls up. I turn my head and smile at him. He walks over and sits next to me. "Whatcha doing?", I look up at the sky.

"Just thinking. Come for dinner?", he smiles at me nodding. I stand up, Jason holds his hand up. I roll my eyes laughing at him. Taking his hand I pull him to his feet. We walk inside, Sookie is in the kitchen. "I'll set another plate at the table", I walk to the cabinet for another plate. I place it on the counter and help Sookie serve. Alcide walks downstairs, he and Jason share hellos.

After dinner, Sookie and Alcide go outside. They sit on the porch, looking up at the stars. I clear the table and wash the dishes. Jason sits on the couch watching tv. "Selena, wanna watch tv with me?", I say yes then dry off my hands. Luckily there weren't too many dishes, could've been up all night washing. But then that would give me something to do.

I make my way to the couch and sit on the opposite side of Jason. He flips through channels, not having much luck finding something good to watch. "Selena, can I ask you something?", I turn saying he can ask me anything. "Eric hasn't called or came to see you, why still wait for him?", he turns towards me. I bite my lip, really thinking about what to say.

"Jason, I wait for him...simply because he is the only man I've ever fallen in love with. My first...and only love", he turns his head. He stands up saying he'll be by in the tomorrow. I feel bad, maybe I hurt his feelings. "Jason...", he kisses my cheek but walks out before I can say anything more.
