SPOV

"Hi! Mum" Eric said, his eyes immediately snapping up to the woman who was standing in front of us.

Shit. Fuck. No … this couldn't be fucking happening to me … no! I thought to myself in a full on panic as I hastily tried to push Eric off of me with as much strength as I could manage but of course my attempts were completely and totally futile as it seemed that Eric was completely and totally frozen in place.

It was nothing as to how I felt at having to meet my boyfriend's mother like this!

"Eric … get up" I said, and once more gave a huge push to his chest with my hands. This time, thankfully, he did move and I was able to sit up with absolutely no problems whatsoever. I immediately ran for the bathroom, and tried to fix up my hair and make up. I resurfaced a couple of minutes later.

"Aren't you going to introduce us, Eric?" his mother asked, when I had returned to the room and after she had taken a seat opposite where Eric and I were currently sitting.

"Mum … this is Sookie. Lover, this is my mother, Elizabeth" Eric said, waving a hand in between the two of us.

"It is nice to meet you, Sookie. Even if it was incredibly awkward" She smiled, causing me to blush almost uncontrollably. This really had to be the most awkward meet the parents ever!

"Where is dad?" Eric asked, changing the subject of conversation, something which I would have to remember to thank him for doing later on. Whenever his parents had left.

"He is down trying to find a car parking space. He should actually be up in a couple of minutes." Elizabeth said, and just as the words were out of her mouth, the front door to the apartment opened to reveal a small thin man with jet black hair. I presumed that this was Eric's father. Godric, I think that his name was.

"This is my dad, Sookie. Dad, this is my girlfriend, Sookie" Eric announced proudly as he wrapped his arm over my shoulders and took a hold of my hand with the arm that was dangling over said shoulders. At the same time, Godric crossed the apartment and took a seat down beside his wife.

"So … what is it that we are having for our dinner tonight, son?" Or should I be asking your lovely girlfriend what she has made for us?" Godric asked, and I could tell he was joking. It was probably his way of trying to lighten the atmosphere.

"No. You should be asking Eric. He was the one that put all of the work into it. In all honesty, I only got here about five minutes before you did" I replied, trying to keep my voice calm and even.

"So, that was the hello kisses that I was witness to then?" Elizabeth asked me directly with a smirk, that caused me to blush a bright crimson colour once more.

"Yes, mother. If you really must know, it was. And for dinner we are having tomato and herb pasta." Eric said, and the got up to go and check on the food in the kitchen. Elizabeth immediately got up and followed her son into the kitchen, leaving me all alone with Godric in the living room area.

And it sure was awkward, especially since I wasn't sure if I should get up to go and help or stay exactly where I was. I didn't want to offend Elizabeth … or Eric for that matter by not getting up off of my backside to go and offer my services in the kitchen. Plus, Gran would probably have my hide if she knew that I hadn't offered to help. But then, on the other hand, not only was there a golden wedding band like Randy Travis sings, but I didn't want to offend Godric by leaving him all alone in the living room.

In other words, I was well and truly fucked. And not in a good way, either.

"So, tell me all about yourself, Sookie. You seem very quiet" Godric asked me, suddenly breaking the silence that had grown in the room since Eric and Elizabeth left.

"Well, I grew up in a small town called Bon Temps, with my older brother Jason. We were both raised by our Gran since both or parents passed away in a flash flood when I was seven. I am eighteen years old and I am currently living in a little apartment with my roommate and best friend, Amelia Broadway." I said, unsure of exactly how much information to share with Eric's father. He may be a small man, but by God he really was intimidating.

Godric didn't say anything in reply to that, instead he just nodded at me. "Ah right. And while I don't know anything about you besides from that little bit that you just told me, I can already tell that you are good for our Eric. He needs someone like you in his life. You seem to be grounded, full of life, kind, warm, caring and passionate. I can also see that there is a spark, a flare in you that you don't often get with little Southern Belles such as yourself. Eric has chosen well. Just make sure that you don't hurt him. He isn't used to the whole girlfriend idea, and as far as I know you are his first, so just be patient with him." Godric eventually said.

"I will try. I know that he is new to the whole boyfriend-girlfriend thing, but I haven't really had too much experience in the area either. I just hope that he has the same amount of patience and kindness in me that I try to have in him. And, to be completely honest with you, he has just been completely amazing. I couldn't ask for a better man to be by boyfriend" I admitted softly and sincerely.

So ... a little short, I know. But review to let me know what your thoughts are ...
