Eric's POV

"Eric, you have dropped yourself right in it" Pam smirks as she sits on the chair across from my desk.

"Whatever do you mean?" I raise my eyebrow at her sarcastically. I already know that I have dropped myself in it, I treated my Lover wrong and I regret it, but at the time I was not thinking, I was concerned with the fact that Sookie had just completely trashed my brand new 2012 Chevy Corvette ZR1 that I had literally just bought the other week. In fact, the car itself cost me $112,400 including paint work and I know it isn't exactly a dent in my bank account, but my God the car is a beauty. But then Sookie came along and trashed it, leaving it with at least $4000 worth of damage. Once again, I know it isn't a dent in my bank account, but it is the principle. You do not go out and wreck people's cars. When I confronted Sookie she told me how abashed she was over what she had done and she offered to pay for the damages. Of course I took pity of her; I did wreck her relationship with Compton, although I do not feel any remorse over it, so I said that she had to pay for half of the damages.

After all, I am not a completely unreasonable person. She was distraught and angered due to my actions, so she needed to remove the emotions some way and unfortunately my sweet Delilah was the one to pay. Yes, I have named my car, it is a man thing, do not question it.

"So, how are you going to make it up to her?" Pam probes, watching me with expectancy.

"I sent her a bouquet of red roses" I inform her proudly, Pam frowning at me as she tuts.

"That is far too clichéd, Eric. Katie is the type of girl who likes someone to go all out there and actually take her into consideration and not just follow the laws of what most couples do. Katie isn't common, so she won't want a common bouquet. She'll want something a little more exciting, so if anything else, she will most likely be feeling even more annoyed at you now after receiving those flowers" why do women have to be complicated? Better yet, why did I bother to get involved with a woman? They are far too complicated, even for my superior mind.

"Then what do you suggest I do, Pamela? She did not show up for work tonight and she has not called to say she is sick or that she won't be attending. And if I phone her she will no doubt not answer my call" I dead pan, Pam gaining a smile.

"First of all, you need to go buy her some flowers she will actually like. I think I remembered her telling her friend Alex at one point that she loved Purple Dendrobium Orchids. Buy her a bouquet of them and buy her chocolates and jewellery. Or something like that. You want to show her how sorry you are, don't you? But most of all, it is the words that will make her forgive you. You need to tell her the right words to get her to open her heart to you" I never thought I would actually be sat here taking relationship advice from Pam. This is so humiliating.

"But what type of jewellery and chocolate does she like? Does she even like chocolate?"

"Do you even know anything about her? Or about women in general?" Pam counters, making me sigh. She is right; I do not even know the simplest of things about my Lover. I do not know what her favourite colour is, I don't know what her favourite flower is, nor do I know her favourite anything. The only thing I know about her is her bra and clothes size. Plus the odd bit about her past. But like Pam likes to tell me, women appreciate men remembering the most minor facts about them. Even if it is something as simple as their favourite pet. Or what colour nail vanish they like.

"I am terrible at this. My Lover deserves better than me"

"Did I really just hear that correctly? Did the great Eric Northman just admit that he is terrible at something? Wait, what's that sound, oh it's the sound of your ego deflating" Pam cackles, only causing my blood to boil.

"Enough, Pamela! I will not take that from you, you are my child and you will behave and treat me with respect. I do not mind you having the odd joke at my expense but when I am in this position, worrying about how to please my Lover and make her forgive me, I certainly do not appreciate it" I yell at her, Pam's eyes widening remotely.

"You really like her, don't you?"

"Yes" I admit for the first time. I really do like her, more than I care to admit. She means more to me than she should, and I care for her more than I do any other person, other than my own child and my Maker of course.

"Look, I was talking to her the other day. We were discussing jewellery, I was struggling to decide between two necklaces, and I asked her if there was any jewellery she was interested in. She said that she had seen a very beautiful bracelet in a shop window, I asked her why she didn't buy it, she told me she couldn't afford it. She told me that the bracelet reminded her of the one her mother used to wear when she was younger. I think she said it was called a hearts and kisses golden sparkling bracelet. I searched it up, it look like this" Pam informs me as she searches through her IPhone before passing it over to me, allowing me to look at the bracelet she had just been talking about. It is a very beautiful bracelet indeed, from what I can see it has a leather style chord with a golden tone heart charm and a sparkling heart toggle fasten. From what I can see it has real diamonds encrusting the heart toggle fasten as well.

"Which shop is this in?"

"You don't need to worry about that, after yesterday I went out and got it ready for you. I already knew she would be pissed at you. I charged it on your card of course she grins at me, making me shake my head at her, but despite that I have a small smile on my face as she passes me the jewellery box. I open it up to see that it looks exactly like the picture. It is truly stunning, just like my Lover.

"I will leave now and fetch those orchids on my way; I will also pick her up some chocolates as well. If she cannot forgive me after that, well, then I don't know what to do" I admit as I get up, putting the jewellery box in my jacket pocket before I head out of my office and out of Fangtasia. At least it is a nice day to fly seeing as my car is wrecked and is now being serviced in the garage down town.

Katie's POV

Just as I finish chopping up some cucumber I hear my doorbell ring, I glance at the clock as I wonder who it could be at this time of night. But when I open the door I find Eric stood there with a beautiful bouquet of Purple Dendrobium Orchids in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other.

"What do you want?" I demand, he may come bearing gifts but that doesn't mean I will forgive him. He treated me like I was a no good fangbanger, it's going to take more than just chocolates and flowers to gain my forgiveness.

"I'm here to apologise" he admits, but I just cross my arms over my chest in defiance. It's a good thing he doesn't have an invitation into my home.

"Yeah, well, you can take your apology and shove it up your ass. I don't want your apology; you have made it perfectly clear what I mean to you. Fuck all" I would like to see what he has to say to that.

"I know I screwed up, and I know I hurt your feelings. I am sorry, Katie, I did not mean to cause offence, my mind was just rather distracted by Sookie wrecking my car-"

"So basically your car is more important than me. Do you know what, Eric? I love cars, and I respect them and all, but I would never put a car before my Lover, family members or friend. But you did exactly that, and you expect me to just wave it off and say fair do's? Because I aint fucking rolling on my back and letting you have it your God damn way, I am a person. I have feelings, I deserve respect. I may not be some fucking badass mother fucking Vampire but I deserve fucking respect one way or another. And having you dismiss me so rudely, and you didn't even include a simple I'm so sorry I have to leave with it, has made me feel like complete and utter shit" I yell at him, feeling very good to finally get that out of my system, but if he doesn't watch his step I will just throw even more crap at him.

"I know I have hurt you, I am sorry. I want to make it up to you in any way I can, I know flowers, chocolates and a simple apology won't cut it. That's why I want to take you out tonight. Just me and you on a romantic date together. Please" he begs, his eyes meeting mine with so much sincerity that it made my heart do something funny. He really wants to sort this out.

"I…I don't know" I shake my head, wondering if this truly is a good idea or not.

"I want to show you how much you mean to me, please, Katie, please"

"Okay" I nod, turning around and walking away from the door, after I have invited him in of course.

"What type of clothing do I need to wear?" I probe as I turn around on the stairs just as Eric is shutting the front door.

"Wear something comfy" he tells me, but there are several meaning to 'comfy', I guess I'll just have to go with my gut instinct on which one he was referring to. Anyway, if he doesn't like it, he can lump it.
