"Here. Put this one, Eric. It should help to take some of the stinginess and some of the swelling out of your eye." Gran said, handing Eic a tube of cream.

"Can you put this on for me, lover?"he asked, smirking as he passed the tube over to e. "I don't want to get any of it in my eye" he finished.

"Sure" I replied, and started to apply some of the cream in and around his eyes. After I was finished, I gave him another kiss on the lips and sat down to my cheese burger that Gran had so expertly laid out on the table for me.

"Don't be expecting me to kiss you better, Eric" Gran said, in a teasing voice.

"Aww ... come on Gran ... you know that you want to" Eric said, he too grinning.

I really did love it a lot wen they all got on so well together.

"No ... Eric. I don't" Gran said.

"Fine then. I will just have to get my beautiful Sookie to kiss it all better for me" he said, and before I had a chance to react to that, he leaned over from his own lunch and gave me a deep kiss, thrusting his own tongue into my mouth once and then he pulled away.

My mouth mourned at his loss almost immediately, and Eric gave me a sly smile when he pulled back.

Oh.I would get him back for that. I thought to myself as Eric just went straight back to his lunch.

For the rest of our lunch, the three of us made small talk about some of the happenings that had been going on in around Bon Temps, especially since I had missed over five years worth of gossip.

And to Gran that must have seemed like it was an absolute lifetime ago.

Then a voice from somewhere behind Eric and me interrupted. "What the fuck is going on in here?" the voice said. "Why the hell is he here?!"

I took the last bite of my cheeseburger, and turned around to see that Jason was standing in the doorway. And he didn't look very impressed on top of that.

Great.

"Jason. I know that you were raised with manners, so why don't you try usuing them!" Gran said, before I was able to say anything to the arsehole that was more commonly known as my older brother.

He didnt have any sort of ingenious reply to that. Instead, he folded his arms over his chest and shot me a death glare, with his feet apart on the floor.

I guess that this was Jason's way of trying to intimidat me.

It was just a real pity that it wasn't working.

And if he doesnt watch himself, he is about to get a real taste of the Stackhouse temper.

From both me and Gran.

"Jason ... Eric is my boyfriend. He had got every right to be here" I replied, as calmly as I could possibly manage at that very moment in time.

Even though I thought that Jason needed a real good slap.

"Did you get hit on the head or something like that Sookie? Don't you remember that this retard over here ..." Jason replied.

"JASON! Language!" Gran called out from somewhere in the background.

Jason, however, just ignored her. "...cheated on you appearently without any second thought ..."

"I did not cheat on Sookie. Sophie Anne, the woman that you, and everyone else seems to think that I cheated on your sister with climbed into bed beside me. I was in the process of trying to get her away from me when Sookie came in and she misread the entire situation" Eric spoke up.

"And how do we know that you are telling the truth?" Jason queried, in a much calmer tome.

"There is CCTV camera evidence" Eric said.

"Why the fuck is there CCTV cameras?" Jason asked.

"Language, Jason" Gran said.

"There is a CCTV camera because my dad is extremely paranoid about burglaries. There are CCTV cameras in every room in our house, and he keeps all of the tapes from them. It drives mum to distraction. She fucking hates it. But right now, I am more than thankful that he did install them" Eric answered, truthfully.

"Hmm ..." Jason said.

"Not that any of that is your buisness, Jason. And it has absolutely nothing to do with you. My judgement should be absolutely enough for you, Jason" I answered, feeling hurt as I voiced my own opinions.

"Sorry, Sook. I just don't want to see you get hurt again, leave the state and not return for another five years like you did the last time" he replied.

Aww ... well. Now, when he says that, I can completely understand where he is coming from. I wouldn't want to see him being hurt either, although, Jason probably wouldn't listen to what I was sayng at all.

In fact, he would probably just do exactly the opposite.

So, I decided that I should settle his fears a little. And also those of Gran and Eric, come to think of it.

"I promise you that I am back home for good this time. I am not going to be going anywhere for a very long time. If ever. I'm not going back to California, I am going to be staying in Bon Temps." I answered.

After that, little interruption to the situation, coming courtesy of Sookie's idiot older brother, Jason, the rest of our afternoon progressed nicely, and Jason even managed to be at least civil to me, even if I could tell that he wasn't all that keen on me.

But, I guess that I was just going to have to be patient with him. He would come around in his own time.

And he would.

Eventually.

I was positive of that.

So .. review to let me know your thoughts. Also, I have another question for you all .. how do you think that Stan and Bill should be caught. (Remember that they are still together)
