Eric's P.O.V

It's been a while since I had the privelege to wake up to someone that is as wonderful as Sookie.

He opened his eyes just to learn that Sookie wasn't there.
"Sookie? Where are you?" He called out. No one answered him.

Strange...

He looked in every corner of the hotelroom without finding what he was looking for.
He then exited the room and started searching the hotel.
He found Sookie sitting in the bar. Swaying unsteadily in her high barchair.
"I have looked all over the place for you!" Eric said. Sookie looked at him with disgust in her bloodshot eyes.
She was clearly wasted. Eric took her in his arms as she almost fell of the chair.

"Don't fucking touch me!" Sookie said in a drunken slur and tried to punch Eric.
The punch itself was too weak to even harm an ant, but it still hurt Eric on the inside.
"Why are you doing this?" Eric asked her softly and put her down on the solid ground.
"Because you're a pig." Sookie spat and tried to stand up by herself, but failed miserably.
"What? Why?" Eric asked puzzled.

"You forgot to tell me about your last girlfriend. The one you murdered!" Sookie slurred and looked at Eric as if he were the most horrible person in the world.
"Oh, darling. I'll explain it for you after you get sobered up." Eric mumbled and picked the female up and walked away with her.
Her attempts at trying to get down was pointless.

I should've known that this would come up.

When Eric had put the cursing Sookie down on the bed he locked the hotelroom.
She suddenly sat up on the bed and covered her mouth with her hands.

She is going to throw up.

He escorted her into the bathroom in seconds, just before she started vomiting.
Eric held Sookie's hair back and patted her back as the cascades flew out of her mouth.
The room was starting to smell very badly.
Sookie then wiped her mouth and stood up on shaky legs.

Eric brought her a glass with tapwater.
"Thanks." She said weakly and washed out the chunky bits that had stayed inside her mouth.
"Do you feel better?" Eric asked caringly.
"A little bit, yeah." She replied and grabbed her toothbrush and put some toothpaste on it and started scrubbing her teeth intensely.
"I can tell you about what really happened." Eric said and took an unsecure step closer to Sookie who looked confused.

"Sure. Go on." She said with her mouth filled with the minty foam.
Eric sighed loudly as the things he was about to tell her were something he didn't want to remember.
"I was in love with Samantha. She didn't judge me for the person I am. I would never hurt her intentionally. The years flew away and Samantha started getting older. I offered myself to turn her so that we could live together as we were forever.
She did not like that idea at all, and I had accepted it." Eric started and his eyes teared up.
"Keep talking." Sookie said and spit the foam into the sink and washed it away.
"I woke up one day and saw her standing over me with a stake in her hand. She told me that it was something she had to do. Samantha didn't want me to see other girls after she had passed away."

"What did you do?" Sookie asked and looked at the old vampire who stood in front of her with tears rolling down his cheeks.
"I freaked out, and I killed her. I wasn't ready to die myself." He said with shame in his voice.
"Oh Eric." Sookie whispered and hugged the weeping vampire.
"I'm sorry. But people telling me stuff like that makes it hard for me to like you." She added and squeezed him tightly.

They just stood there in the bathroom and held eachother for something that felt like an eternity.
"I want to know everything about you." Sookie murmured. "Don't surprise me again."
"I am over a thousand years old, that would be a lot of talking." Eric said with a tiny smile.

"Makeup sex?" Sookie asked flirtily.

"No, not now, you should go to sleep. You have been drinking way too much today." Eric said and patted the girl's head.
