SPOV

Eric nodded slowly in response.

"Where was it that you were planning on taking my girl out on a date?" he asked, slowly and his voice was so quiet that I had to almost strain to hear him.

And I was sitting right beside him.

"Umm …. I had just asked her out for a drink after she gets out of hospital. We hadn't decided on the where exactly, yet" Office Herveaux answered.

Ugh. Seriously? Did this dick seriously think that he had any chance with me whatsoever? He made my skin crawl.

"Do you mind if I tag along with you two?" he asked, with a completely straight face.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

This was not the Eric that I first dated. That man would have punched Alcide … sorry, Officer Herveaux for just simply thinking about asking.

But seriously! How many times would Eric have to prove that he was a different man now before my stupid thick skull would start to take it in?! I thought to myself in frustration.

"Umm … I was thinking of it just being Sookie and me" Alcide admitted.

I honestly couldn't believe it. Alcide wasn't even trying to deny the fact that he had asked me out. Not that there would be any point in doing that anyways, but you know. I honestly didn't know what to expect from this weird situation anymore.

"Really? Well then if you don't want me there then I will be really disappointed. I really was hoping that I could get to watch you two in bed. If I was lucky. And then if I really wanted to spoil my girl, I would join in too. Give her one hell of a surprise that she really would never get." Eric said, with a completely serious expression on his face, but he was still using a low and incredibly quiet voice, so I knew that he was internally seething. Even when he wasn't showing it.

But that didn't do anything to stop the fact that I was now blushing bright red.

"Umm …. …" Alcide stuttered, clearly having no reply whatsoever to that.

What was there to say to that though? I thought to myself.

"And you most definitely won't want me to do that either. Since I wasn't supposed to know about it. Was I? Were you expecting to become my lover's dirty little secret? Because you should know, Alcide, that Sookie and me keep absolutely nothing from each other. We tell each other everything, so even if I hadn't have heard you trying to ask her out when I am lying curled up right beside her, I would have believed her 100%. Now, I assume that you have a job to do?" Eric said, his voice rising a little towards the end. I ran a soothing hand up and down his arm to keep him calm.

"Yeah …. Yes, of course, Mr. Northman …" Alcide managed to stutter out with great difficulty.

"Great. Now, wouldn't it be great if we could actually get started" Eric said, with a complete fake smile.

"Of course. Miss Stackhouse … I would much prefer it if I could take your statement in total and complete privacy. That means that I want to speak to you on your own. Without your boyfriend" Officer Herveaux said, sounding slightly more sure of himself.

I wouldn't be so sure of myself if I were him.

"And I would prefer it if I was the master of the universe, but that will not be happening either" Eric snapped at him, finally having lost his temper, and he cast the police man an evil look.

Oh. If looks could have killed.

Not that I blamed Eric one little bit.

Reluctantly, the police man nodded his head in supposed agreement, and took a seat beside the bed.

Even though he was not asked to.

But because I was nice, I decided not to say anything.

"Fine then. But you need to be quiet, and not make any interruptions whatsoever. Or I will have no choice but to put you outside" Alcide said.

"I am not a dog. And if I want to speak, I will. There is nothing you can do to stop me" Eric said.

Alcide looked like he was about to give a smart arse retort, but instead, I spoke up. "Shh … baby. It's alright. Just let him take his precious fucking statement and then we can have some alone time before everyone else gets back. If you get what I mean" I said, wiggling my eyebrows at him slightly and then giving him a deep kiss.

"Alright, lover. I promise to be good" he winked.

"Good. But for the record, I like it even more when you are bad" I replied.

"I know" he said, and then turned to Alcide. "Continue" he said, waving his hand at him.

Alcide rolled his eyes in reply, and then spoke up. "Miss Stackhouse, can you please recount for me the details of what happened last week?" he said, taking out his notepad and pencil, from his top pocket.

"Sure" I said, starting to feel my voice begin to tremble already, but I was determined to get it over with as quickly as possible.

So that would mean that I would have to get my act together quickly.

"Lover … it is alright. Take all the time that you need. I will be here for you" Eric whispered, soothingly as he sat up in the bed, and gathered me tightly up into his arms.

I took another deep breath before continuing.

"I was getting out of the car to go into the supermarket so that I could buy some food for Eric and me, when Sophie Anne came up behind me with a gun. I didn't actually see the gun, but I could feel where she had pressed it into my back. She told me that Eric was hers and that she had already warned me not to go near him. She told me that I was to get into her car, and if I tried to escape, she would kill me. Then as I was walking over to her car, I took my chances and tried to escape. That was when she shot me." I said, feeling a great weight lifted off of my shoulders when I had finished telling the story.

"Baby …" Eric said, his own voice starting to crack slightly, and he cuddled me closer than what he had before.

"So you are saying that Miss LeClerq was obsessed with your boyfriend, Miss Stackhouse?" Alcide asked.

"Yeah. She tried to blackmail me into leaving him, before the incident" I said.

"And she tried to make it look like I had cheated on Sookie as well as sending me a love note" Eric said.

"And have either of you got anything to add to your statement?" the officer asked.

Both Eric and I shook our heads in response.

"What will happen now?" Eric asked, as calmly as he could manage, as Officer Herveaux made his way out towards the door.

"I think that we will definitely have enough to arrest Miss LeClerq on the grounds of attempted murder, and also of stalking. From the looks of things, she won't be out for a very long time. A very long time indeed" he replied.

"Thank God" I said.

Alcide smiled. "And if you ever want to reconsider my offer, Sookie. You know where to find me".

Eric growled at that, and after that, Alcide couldn't wait to get out of the room.

So … what did we all think of the longer chapter? Review to let me know …
