Sookie headed out of the front door after pushing past several humans and vampires alike. She made it to the patio and kicked off her shoes, hiked up her dress and began to run like mad. She ran across the lawn, down the street, across a couple yards, and then into a nearby area densely populated by a lot of trees. Everything around her grew dark, the trees seemed to have been getting taller the deeper into the woods she went, and everything around her was deathly still and silent, but still she kept running. Like her life depended on it. She couldn't get those insensitive bastards out of her head. All she could think about was how Eric played her to get to Godric and how Godric all of a sudden after months of speculation, up and decides that he does want to be with her. How dare they, after all that she had felt for the both of them. After all that they had led her to believe. She wanted nothing to do with them anymore. She just wanted to be alone. No, she wanted her grandmother, she wanted to go home.

She stopped running and fell to her knees near a stream. She covered her face with her hands and then began to cry like never before. Truth was, she didn't hate them, neither of them, she loved them still. All she wanted even now was to tell them how much she really did love them both. But for her own sanity she couldn't, she had to stay true to herself. She couldn't let them decide the ways of her heart, if that was the case, then she had nothing.

"Sookie please stop crying."

Sookie looked up to find Godric standing on the other side of the stream. Half of her wanted to smile but the other half wanted to scream at him. She decided to keep her mouth shut and let it play out. Maybe she would end up feeling better about all of this.

"I know why you're crying. I just wish that there was something I could do to fix you."

"I'm not a car Godric, I can't be 'fixed'."

"Yes of course you can't. I'm sorry."

Sookie continued to stare at him. He didn't expect her to keep up this conversation did he? If he came here to make amends then he would have to come up with something better than that.

"May I come over there with you?"

Sookie looked at him, only half believing his question.

"What?"

"May I come over there? What I mean to say is…is it safe to come over there?"

Sookie stared at him still, mouth agape. A two thousand year old vampire, a vampire who had no fears, and who could rip her to shreds without a second thought, was asking her if it was safe to be around her. As if she could hurt him. At this Sookie burst into laughter. Godric smiled and hoped over the water, landing next to her and kneeling down.

"What's so funny?"

"The irony."

"What irony?"

Godric already knew what she had been laughing at but he honestly didn't know where else to take their conversation and if she was laughing then he obviously, was doing a damn good job so far.

"You are a two thousand year old vampire."

"Okay."

"Safety no longer pertains to you."

At this Godric had to join in on Sookie's laughter. She put it rather cleverly, he hadn't expected that. When they had ended their laughter Sookie got quiet again and Godric sat with his legs crossed feeling a bit defeated. He didn't know what else to do, or say.

"Godric?"

"Yes?"

"Did you really mean those things that you told Eric in there? The things you said about being in love with me, and never meeting anyone like me. And about me being a…"

"…One of a kind?" Godric cut her off.

Sookie turned to him. He watched her face as it began to glow under the moonlight. She was breathtaking in it.

"Yes I did."

"How often did you think about me after you left?"

Godric didn't answer right away. He gave it a little thought, not that he needed it, he had the answer of course.

"Every waking moment…and then some."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"What do you mean by, 'and then some'?"

"I even had dreams about you."

Godric said this while staring at Sookie's hand, which had found a patch of dirt to play in.

"Dreams?" She asked with a little mockery in her voice.

"Yes, vampires don't dream. But with you I had them."

"Oh, that's nice. Why don't vampires dream?"

"I don't know, we just don't. But I think I started having them after I left you because you're a fairy. Fairy's can manipulate and create dreamscapes. They can visit you there."

"I didn't manipulate your dreams. I don't remember it"

"You did you just don't know it."

"Oh."

Godric watched Sookie as she redirected her attention to the patch of dirt unbelievingly.

"I think after I left you, well, I know now for a fact, that it hurt you so badly your heart knew no other way to cope but to conjure up dreams that involved the two of us. Now, because I was a part of your dreams I also shared those dreams with you."

"Were they good dreams, the ones that you saw?"

"Mostly, but some were really sad."

"Oh?"

"Sookie?" Godric whispered.

Sookie found herself staring face to face, almost nose to nose, with Godric. She could feel the coolness radiating off of his skin. She closed her eyes to savor the aura of power that was coming off of him. That was something that she hadn't noticed before. It must be something that her growing powers enabled. Her heart sank, that wasn't good news.

"Yes." Sookie whispered back.

"I am…by all means…without a doubt or second thought…so very, very, very sorry for what I did to you. For leaving you like I did. I know that what I put you through after I left was and still is unfathomable. I will never, ever, ever do anything like that to you again. I love you more than anything in this world or the next Sookie. You have no idea what you mean to me. I know for a fact that I didn't do a good job proving that to you when I left. I also know that that there is no excuses out there that can remedy what I did. But please Sookie, please forgive me."

Sookie watched him wide eyed. She felt herself tearing up again. She couldn't handle much more of this.

"Why should I Godric?"

"Because I can't imagine living in a world where you won't have me."

Sookie lost all control after that. She dropped the clump of dirt she had in her hand and climbed as fast as she could into Godric's lap. She placed both hands on either side of his face and crushed her lips to his. The kiss was long and passionate. They both explored the depths of each other's mouths. Sookie felt Godric's hand moving up her thigh and two her panty line. He laced his fingers underneath and elicited a moan from Sookie. She pulled away from him, breathing hard and her mind spinning.

"Godric wait."

"What' the matter love?"

"Not here."

"Would you like to go back to my home?"

"No the party, and besides, what about Eric."

"Well as of right now he is still lying unconscious in front of my fireplace."

"No I mean…wait you didn't move him."

"Why would I?'

Sookie looked at Godric questioningly and then nodded her head and shrugged her shoulders. He deserved to lie there a little longer.

"But what about when he wakes up."

"You still care about him?"

"I do."

"Mmmm…well then I guess we will have to cross that bridge when we get to it. You do know though, that the only way we will settle this is if the three of us are in it together or if we break it off completely and each of us go our separate ways."

Sookie stared at him. She didn't see that happening.

"But to tell you the truth Sookie, I have no intention of leaving you alone. So if I have to, I will share you. I will be perfectly fine with that, as long as you are as well."

Sookie thought about it for a moment, playing with one of the buttons on Godric's shirt. He grabbed her chin and brought her face to his. He kissed her lips and she kissed back, biting on his bottom one as she pulled away. Godric moaned and smiled.

"But I must let this be known, if you do accept the two of us as your lovers, then I must say that I get to have you first..everytime."

"Mmmm…I was thinking more along the lines….with Eric."

"I beg your pardon?"

"I'm saying, you and Eric can have me, but together. Like the last time."

Godric stared at her.

"Without my blood this time though, correct?"

"Of course, I would like to remember everything this time around."

"Eric and I can be quite rough."

"Mmmm…I know."

"You would like that?"

"I would."

How much?"

"Very much."

"Mmm…I'm not so sure. I only brought Eric in last time because you were going to 'need' the both of us. This time around though, I believe that you will become tired with just one of us alone."

"Oh I beg to differ."

Sookie pushed Godric back onto the ground, ripping open his button up shirt. Godric pulled it off and then turned Sookie over on to her back. He reached under her dress and then ripped her panties off. She opened her legs and Godric placed himself between them. He could feel her warmth radiating from her cavern. She reached up to his pants and unbuttoned them, pulling out his cock. She ran her hands over it and moaned. She had been fantasizing about that thing since he last left her. From the feel of it, he had been missing her too. Godric took his shaft from her and placed it at her entrance.

"Then please Sookie, by all means…beg."
