The New Car Argument
EPOV
I let out a frustrated sigh at the sound of my wife's piece of shit car choking to death. I've tried countless times to have it replaced, but she refuses every time.
"Honey!" she yells out from the kitchen as she enters the garage. "I need to borrow your car I need to get something from the grocery store real quick." She says as she walks in to my office. I look at her in momentary shock. Did she really just ask me to drive my corvette? No one drives my baby but me.
"What do you need I'll call Pam." I say looking away from her.
"No need to bother Pam, I just need a few things for my dinner and we are low on blood for visitors." She counters.
"Why won't you let me get you a new car?" I ask
"Why spend the money? Tray can fix it tomorrow." She blows off my offer yet again.
"Why don't I just call Tray now and have him take you?" I say.
"Eric! Are you seriously not going to let me drive your car, it just a car. I just need a few things there's no need to bother anyone right now." She crosses her arms. I look at her I can feel her irritation and hurt coming from the Bond. I reluctantly hand her my keys.
"Thanks honey!" she kisses me and leaves.
I enter the garage and made sure that this thing dies for good so that she will be forced to get a new one. What? I am Vampire… we are sneaky fuckers. I chuckle.

Then next afternoon Tray comes over to fix my car.
"Sorry Sookie, there's just no hope for it. I think it's time to get a new one." He says as he cleans his hands off with a grease rag.
"What was wrong with it?" I asked.
"Other than the fact that it's older than dirt?" he asks sarcastically and I scowl at him. "It actually looks like an animal went at the engine." He said with a hesitant smile. Eric Northman!
Later that night…
"Honey I need to borrow your car again." I asked walking into his office.
"Oh, what's wrong with your car? Was Tray not able to fix it?" he asked innocently.
"No, he wasn't." I looked at him watching his expressions and probing the Bond. My hubby is too good… I couldn't feel any guilt coming from him. I'm sure its 'cause he didn't feel guilty at all.
"So shall we get you a new one?" he asks excitedly.
"No, I'll just use yours." I say flatly.
"I need my car Sookie." He replies.
"No you don't, you fly." I replied and his face went stoic cold Vampire.
"Why are you so unreasonable?" He says irritation filling the Bond.
"Why are you?" I quip.
"Sookie, I have the money to buy you a new car, it won't hurt me in anyway."
"And you know I wasn't raised to throw money away like that." He sighs and gives me his keys.

On my way to Fangtasia I walk out to get in my car and I see a scratch on the driver's side of my baby. I call her out to the garage.
"Sookie, what is this?" I point at the scratch she bends down to squint at it.
"What, I don't see anything." She says looking at me. How can she not see it? Even with her human eyes its plain as day for all to see.
"Right there." I say pointing down to the scratch. She rolls her eyes.
"You're not kidding are you?" she questions. I look at her aghast "I don't know where that came from, I made sure to park away from any other cars." She says nervously.
"You're getting a new car, and that's final." I say and leave for Fangtasia.
SPOV
The next evening I wake to find a note on my nightstand from Eric.
My dear Wife,
I acquired a new car for you. The key is on the kitchen table. It did not cost much so I do not want any complaints from you.
-Your Husband
I made my way out to the garage to find a 2012 Volkswagen Eos convertible. It was red with a beige interior. It was beautiful how could I complain? Next to my pretty new car was a cherry red 2011 Chevy Corvette ZR1. I just shook my head. Compared to his new car I'm sure it didn't cost "much"…
A/N: Geez Eric, replace an entire car just cause of a itty bitty scratch, lol... PLEASE REVIEW!
