Sookie sighed as she leaned against the door.
'What am I going to do with them? I like both of them, but I can't really be with two men at once. Or can I, I mean vamps have a different mindset than humans. If they are okay with it, maybe I can be with both.'
She pushed off the wall and threw herself on the bed. 'I'll worry more about this tonight. Right now I need a shower and sleep.'
Godric woke up to feeling happy for once in a long time. Maybe it had something to do with getting reacquainted with his childe or maybe it had something to do with the goddess in the next room that was quickly making him reconsider his suicide. When he thought about it he realized that it was probably both.
He looked over at the clock and realized that it would still be a while before sunset, so he decided he would get up and see if Sookie was awake and wished to speak with him. Godric dressed at vamp speed and left the room hoping to see her up and about.
Sookie looked up from her book and gasped as she saw Godric standing in the doorway to his bedroom.
"What are you doing up?" Sookie glanced at the clock and realized it was several hours before sunset. "Shouldn't you still be dead for the day? I thought you guys couldn't be up during the day without bleeding everywhere."
Godric smiled softly at her and said "Yes, most vampires need to sleep all of the day, but I am old enough where I can wake up several hours before the sun sets and be fine. What are you reading?"
Sookie couldn't believe he actually took time to explain why he was up and didn't say 'Oh it's a vamp thing you don't need to worry about it' like Bill would have. "Huh? Oh, I am reading 'Bite Me' by Parker Blue. It's a book about this 18 year old succubus that fights and kills vampires to feed her demon." Sookie snickered as she realized how silly her book probably sounded to a 2,000 year old vampire.
"Tell me more about this succubus. She sounds interesting."
"Wait really? You honestly want to hear about my book? You've probably read some much better things in your life." Godric moved over to where Sookie was laying on the couch and lifted her head to put it in his lap.
"That may be so, but I want to hear about it anyways. You obviously like the story so tell me. What is this heroine's name?"
And that's where Eric found them when he rose for the night, chatting softly on the couch looking ever like the loving couple he thought they could be. He smiled when he realized that he hoped he could be part of that couple. But first Eric, Sookie, and Godric had a meeting to get to.
"You two need to get ready, we have a meeting with the head of the AVL." Sookie looked up from where she was laying on Godric and saw jealousy reflecting in Eric's eyes.
"We have a meeting with Nan Flanagan?"
"Yes" Eric said sharply
"Okay…well when we get back can we talk? I need to have a conversation with you both."
Eric couldn't help but wonder what the head of the American Vampire League could need to speak with Sookie about but she specifically requested that she be there so it must be something of importance. He wouldn't let anything happen to her though. He may not have said anything to anyone about how much he cares for her but that wouldn't stop him from making sure she is safe when she is with him. Eric sighed when he thought about the conversation they were going to have after the meeting. She was probably going to tell them that she was choosing Godric over Eric. Eric believed that he didn't deserve someone as special as Sookie and thought that it was about time that his maker was happy again. And if what he walked in on when he woke up was any indication, Godric could be happy with Sookie.
I decided to do two chapters in one day...it may have something to do with the amazing feedback everyone has given me. I hope you guys continue to enjoy the story as you have been. I love all of you for reviewing and boosting my confidence. But if you have any thoughts whether they be good or bad please share them I can take constructive criticism.
