Chapter 4: Let the Fun Begin!
As soon as Alcide had barged out of the house, I slumped down on the chair and let out a long sigh. 'Well that was so stressful and scary.' As I sat on the sofa trying to get myself to calm down after the dramatic escapade, I felt myself getting drowsy from lack of sleep and triedness. I couldn't fight the urge to give in and therefore before I knew it, I had fallen asleep. 8 hours later I slowly came back to consciousness from the amazing sleep I had had. I gave out a long yawn and then took a look at the clock above the turned off television, 'Shit, jeez, I have ended up sleeping for eight hours! Well, luckily I am not doing anything today.' I reluctantly dragged myself off the sofa and went to get changed in my room that once was Gran's room. I chose a flowing short sun dress in pale yellow, perfect for the hot April day. I then embarked on doing constructive activities which included cleaning and sorting Alcide's stuff into bags for him to pick up. By the time the sun had gone down I had made the house spotless, everything that even hinted that Alcide had leaved there was either in the trash or in the binliners which he had picked up earlier that day. As I was sitting down with a cup of tea, that is when the feeling hit me.
Eric was coming. I don't know if it was down to our blood sharing when we were together when Eric lost his memory, but I could somehow sense him whenever he was pretty close to my house. Before I had go up, there was a confident knock on the front door. I walked over to it and pulled it open to reveal the beautiful blonde Viking vampire lounging against the frame of the front door. He spoke,
"Well, hello, my beautiful blonde fairy, did you miss me?"
I rolled my eyes in a exaggerated manner and replied,
"Hello Eric, nice to see you too."
He straightened up and asked,
"Sookie, may I come into your home?"
I smiled at his chivalry and replied,
"Well, since you are bring so polite, of course you can."
I moved out of the way for him to enter and he swaggered into the hallway. I couldn't help but stare and his hunky way of walking. He turned to face me and bluntly asked me,
"Is Alcide gone?"
I was taken aback with his forwardness, but composed myself quickly and replied,
"Yes, I felt like it was time that we went our separate ways, I felt to pressured in our relationship, like he was always judging me."
Eric approached me and brought his palm to my cheek and stroked it. He asked,
"Are you sure it was down to that, Sookie? Or, was it because you can't resist me and Alcide was in the way of us embarking on any sort of explicit relation hmmm?"
I didn't reply, I just stared at him for what seemed like forever. After a while I gave in to my consciousness and simply nodded. My agreement got me the reward of one of Eric's breathtaking smiles. He then said,
"Well then, in that case, I suppose being down here is no use."
He effortlessly picked me up in a princess lift and I knew exactly where we were heading. The bedroom.
