Sorry it has taken so long but here is chapter 5. Sorry its a little short too.
It had been a few days since the night at Fangtasia as well as that dream of Eric and I still have yet to stop thinking about him. There's just something about him that draws me to him. And to be honest I think Sookie is probably thinking the same thing about Bill.
It was just after sundown when I pulled into my drive after doing some much need shopping. I had just gotten out of my car when my phone went off. Not recognizing the number I answered with a simple hello.
"Min Lilla Emilia how are you this evening?" Came a voice that almost made me drop my phone.
"Eric? How did you get my number?" I asked grabbing my bags from the back seat.
"I have my ways. Now I do have a reason for calling… I require your presences at Fangtasia this evening."
"Why?" I asked not really having any desire to go.
"Because I have requested it. Miss Stackhouse and Compton will be picking you up in an hour." He paused and I could have sworn I heard his fangs click. "Oh and do wear those boots again, I found you quite delectable it them." Eric purred the last bit and hung up before I could protest.
"Oh! That man is infuriating and I hardly know him." I grumbled as I slammed the door to my car and made my way to the house. I had put the groceries away quickly and went to go change when I heard a knock at the door. Opening the front door I was greeted by an all too familiar figure. "ERIC?" I stepped back, "I thought Sookie and Bill were going to pick me up?"
"I got impatient." Was his only explanation as he leaned against the door frame. "Now I would like you to join me at my place of business." He extended his hand to me.
"Uh umm, I'm not ready."
"That is alright, I can wait." He smirked not taking his predatory eyes never leaving my body.
'I can't just leave him on the porch… I better not regret this.' Sighing I looked Eric in the eyes. "If you promise not to try anything… you can come in."
"I will be on my best behavior." He bowed his head and looked up at me through blond bangs.
"Riiigggght…. I'll be upstairs. Just give me a few." 'Why am I agreeing to going with him?' I asked myself as I ascended the stairs to my bedroom.
"Oh Emilia I." Eric called to me as I reached the top, looking to him to see what he wanted. "I do quite enjoy the view." His head cocked to the side with a grin that would put the devil to shame. Staring at him I was confused at what he was talking about; then I noticed him eyeing me like he wanted to eat me. Looking down I noticed I still had yet to pants on and was just in a long shirt. I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks as I tried to play off the embarrassment. And by playing it cool I backed up the stairs not really paying attention to what I was doing and wound up slipping on one of the steps. I expected to hit the floor but to my surprise I was caught, "You should really be more careful." His face was right next to mine, his lips brushing against my ear as he spoke did nothing to calm the rushing blood flow to my face. He righted me by placing me at the top of the stairs. "Now run along and change, so we can be on our way." Eric pushed me towards my bedroom. "I will wait down stairs." And then he was gone.
Once inside my bedroom I shut the door, well more like slammed and began to hyperventilate. Never in my life has anyone human or vampire ever made me feel weak in the knees just by looking at them. Eric said he couldn't glamor me but I know he has some sort of power over me. Sighing I made my way to my closet, I felt it was a night for a dress. 'I wonder if I can make him tremble with excitement.' I paused while looking through my dresses. 'Where did that come from?' Shaking my head and I just blamed all this on hormones, "Yea it's just hormones Emilia, you haven't gotten any in a while, so yeah just hormones…" I told myself, "And the hormones are why I'm talking to myself too." I finally decided on a black skater dress with small silver buttons down the center below the sweetheart neckline. Examining myself in the mirror I decided I was going to wear the leather boots I had worn earlier this week. If Eric was going to tease me I was going to tease back. I smirked as I laced up my boots and walked out of my bedroom.
Vampire senses must be high because Eric was already at the base of the stairs waiting for me. "My, my I could just eat you up." Eric purred as his fangs clicked.
I shot him a disapproving look. "I told you to behave mister." I lectured him as I poked him in the chest, in retrospect agitating a god knows how old vampire probably not a good idea.
He chuckled at me, that's a good sign right? "That you did Min Lilla An. Now we must be on our way." And with a whoosh I was buckled into the seat of what I guessed to be Eric's car. "I warn you I drive fast." With that he speed out like a bat out hell.
