"You are the one that shouldn't be fucking lying, Eric. Sookie cheated on me with you" Bill claimed.

"Bill. You were fucking caught with your trousers around your ankles and Stan was thrusting into you dick first. Now, kindly fuck off before I do some damage" I growled.

Seriously.

I really had no patience for the dickwad whatsoever.

And, all of a sudden, he didn't seem to sure of himself.

Not one little bit.

"Here you go, Eric" Tara spoke up from the background, rather softly.

Especially for Tara.

"Thanks" I said to her in reply and went back out to the car, while I just ignored everyone elses stares and not so secret whispers.

I just didn't give a shit about them anymore.

And I had had enough of everyone thinking that I had cheated on my beautiful lover.

I couldn't ever do anything like that on her.

I loved her far too fucking much for that.

As I drove back to Sookie's Gran's house, I forced myself to calm down, and by the time that I was pulling into Gran's drive, I was almost certain that I was calm enough to be able to be able to talk about what happened in Merlottes Bar without wanting to punch the living daylights out of Bill.

"Hey, I'm back" I called out as I walked in through the front door with our food.

"Come on into the kitchen, Eric. We are already seated and everything" Gran called out to me in reply, from the kitchen.

I took one deep breath, bracing myself for the reactions that Sookie and Gran were bound to have when I would walk into the kitchen to face both of them, in just a few milliseconds time.

I couldn't help but smile at Gran's reply to Eric. It really was great that Gran had accepted Eric back as my boyfriend after seeing the CCTV camera footage.

Then my beautiful, sexy boyfriend came back in through the door, and I couldn't help by turn around to face him.

My beautiful sexy boyfriend with a black eye.

That he didn't have when he left.

"Oh My God! Eric! What happened to you?" I gasped out ,my hands going up to my mouth almost involuntarily.

Eric put the bag containing our cheese burgers down onto the table before answering. "Your ex-boyfriend decided that it would be a good idea to try to punch a guy who was over twice his size … in both height and weight … right square in the face"

"Why would Bill do something like that?" Gran asked, as she poked around in one of the cupboards.

"Eric. I hope that you didn't do anything to aggravate him" Sookie said, as she guided me to one of the chairs, and all but forced me to sit down.

"No, lover. I didn't do anything to aggravate him. I wasn't even aware of the fact that he was in the bar, at least not until he came up to me and punched me in the fact" he said.

"And then what happened after that?" Gran asked.

"He punched me in the face, and then he started yelling at me" he said.

"What was he yelling at you for?" I asked.

"He started yelling something about how you were his, and that I had absolutely no right to touch you. he also accused you of cheating on him with me" he admitted.

"That cowardly little arsehole!" I growled out. How fucking dare he! How dare he say that I was the one to cheat on him with Eric when I didn't. I was 100% loyal to him, right to the very fucking end. And he has the bloody nerve to do it in public! Especially when it was him that cheated on me in the first place. With Stan fucking Davis of all people!"

Surprisingly, Gran didn't say anything to me about my language. I guess that she could understand exactly why I was more than a little angry at the recent revelations.

"What did you do when Bill said that to you, Eric?" Gran said, in a scary calm even tone.

"I basically just yelled right back at him" he said.

"And you didn't even hit him?" I asked, completely astonished by that. The Eric that I knew before would most definitely have punched first and asked questions later.

I guessed that I just couldn't believe that Eric hadn't punched out.

Especially when he was completely and totally innocent of what he was being accused of.

"No. I didn't punch him back, lover. Even though he deserved it. I just yelled at him, telling him to tell the bloody truth for a change, and I let him know that it was him that cheated on you. Not the other way around. You didn't cheat on him. You were loyal to him right to the very end of your relationship with him. And then I gave him a warning that if he ever came near me again that I would punch the ever loving shit out of him" Eric said.

"Thank you, baby" I said, and then gave him a kiss on the lips.

He looked at me in complete confusion.

"What do you mean?" he asked, slowly and unsurely.

My poor baby he looked so upset and confused.

"Thank you for not punching the ever loving shit out of him, Eric. Especially, when I know that you really, really wanted to" I said.

"Lover … I told you. I have grown up a lot since we were last together" he replied.

"Yes, you most certainly have changed, Eric. You have really changed a lot" I said, smiling at him. And from where I was sitting, the changes were looking good on my boyfriend.
