Chapter 10: Good Times... Yeah Right!

I woke up with Eric 's arm tightly around my waist and as much as I wanted to cuddle I needed to drive back to Bon Temps, change into my uniform and go to work.

"Why are you moving?" Eric said with his eyes still closed.

"I need to go to work." He let go of me.

"I thought you were going to take care of me, you 're going to work?" He pouted and it was the cutest thing ever.

"I could only get the morning off, I ditched class for you mister so quite your pouting." I said standing up and out of his grasp.

"You 're right I shouldn 't complain you did give me the mother of all blo-"

"Don 't say it or it 'll never happen again." I interrupted.

"What are you going to do about Amelia?" He said changing the subject.

"What can I do? She 's allegedly a grown up and I can 't tell her what to do but I know she 's scared and Pam 's is the perfect distraction."

"I could talk to Pam if that 'll help." I leaned over him to kiss his forehead.

"That 's sweet but it 's really none of our business. I 'll be back later you 'll probably be sleeping." I kissed his lips, he tasted like coffee.

"Can you get your stuff from Amelia 's and stay here, I know we agreed to wait until the weekend but that was before all of this happened." I smiled at him.

"I think I could do that, your bed is more comfy than Amelia 's pull out." I gave him one last kiss and left for Amelia 's house. She was home. "I thought you had work?" She only worked part time at the post office but get out of the house because her dad paid for everything.

"I just needed to leave." She had tears in her eyes. I walked toward her and put my arms around her. "I 've been so awful to Tray just jumping into bed with Pam."

"Why have you been acting like this with him?" I asked softly.

"Because he 's been telling me all these great things, he loves me, I 'm perfect and it makes me scared. I know I encouraged you and Eric but I 'm not like you guys. I 'm no good at relationships and with Pam it 's no strings, no considering feeling but I realized that I love Tray if he hears about this he 'll never forgive me." She was crying as I held her and I was ashamed to say I looked at the clock to see what time it was.

"What are you going to do then?" She broke away from wiping her tears.

"I 'm breaking up with him." That wasn 't the answer I was expecting and I didn 't know what to say. "He doesn 't deserve this Sookie, I 've hurt him too much. He 'll find another girl."

"First of all, you 're a great friend and a good person, you 're just a little misguided. Second you 're going to talk to Tray like an adult and figure things out and third I need to get to work so we 'll finish this later." She laughed and I hugged her. I grabbed my bags from Amelia 's and put them in my car so I could bring them to Eric 's.

My shift at Merlotte 's was currently uneventful though I noticed Dawn watching me like a hawk. I get it she hates me, I took Eric away from her, whatever! I walked up to my next table and almost dropped my pen and pad. "Hey babe! What 's up?"

"How are you out?" I said in a whisper.

"Bail, I heard about the restraining order. Was that really necessary?" He was smiling and it made me ill. I glanced at Sam and he was at my side in a second.

"You need to leave. Now." Sam said. Much to my surprise he got up and left. I didn 't expect Tray and his buddies to follow him out. They immediately started to hit him. Quinn is by no means a small man but he was out numbered. Tray got him to the ground and started kicking him

"You like hitting women, hearing them beg! Beg for me bitch!" He kicked him over and over and Dawn managed to get between them to stop it. She helped him to his car and the drove off together. I was still inside the bar watching through the window like everyone else here.

"So Dawn 's fired." Sam said from behind me.

"Why for breaking up the fight?" I asked.

"No for ditching her shift, I 've been looking for an excuse to fire her for a while and I just found it." He smiled and went back behind the bar. When my shift was over I went to Sam 's office to let him know. " Let me walk you to your car." I nodded and when I was in the driver 's seat he said. "If he comes back again I 'm calling the police." He ran his hands through his hair. "I 'm sorry for what you went through." He put his hand on mine.

"I guess everyone knows now,huh?" I said sadly, I wasn 't ashamed I just didn 't like people in my business. Sam nodded.

"Unortunetlly things like that aren 't too uncommon around here." I smiled weakly at Sam and drove off. It was 2 am when I crawled into bed with Eric.

"You smell like fries." He said sleepily sniffing my hair.

"Quinn came to the bar." I blurted out stupidly. Eric got up too quickly and winced in pain.

"You didn 't call... why didn 't you call, what happened?" He wasn 't yelling because he was mad at me he was yelling because he was scared for me but my brain went into abusive mode, I put my head down. "Sookie look at me. What happened at the bar?" He asked and his eyes were soft as he pulled me closer to him. I told him what happened "I 'm alittle jealous that I didn 't get to hit him like that." Eric smiled.

"Honey he hit you at night and he was waiting and ready." He smiled at me.

"Honey? I could get used to hearing you call me do you feel my love?" He asked rubbing my sides.

"I just want this to be over, no more Quinn and no more 'poor Sookie'. Oh! and Dawn got fired, she took off with Quinn." Eric looked as shocked as I felt.

"Well good riddance to them both."

"I wouldn 't be so sure that this is the last we 've seen of either if them." I said snuggling close.

"Don 't worry about them just get some rest." He said softly and started humming. I fell asleep to the sound and feel of Eric.

The next day I 'd decided to bring more of my stuff to Eric 's house, I stopped by Sam 's and I saw Quinn 's car. I stepped inside and saw Dawn there, no sign of Quinn."Sookie hey, just picking up my last check." I nodded but didn 't answer. "And another thing I 'm with Quinn now so stay away." She smiled.

"Listen bitch, I 'm not interested in you or Quinn, you can have and when he beats the shit out of you don 't come crying to me." I smiled, picked up my check and left.

By the end of the week, Eric and I were invited to dinner at Jessica and Hoyt 's. Amelia and Pam were there too but not as a couple or whatever the hell they were. Eric face and ribs were healed but he still had his arm in that sling. "So Hoyt, how long and Jessica known each other?" Amelia asked.

"Do you want to tell it?" Hoyt asked and Jessica nodded.

"Well it 's funny but I was a freshman at college and back then I never used my full name so I went by Jessi and the accidentally gave me a male roommate and it was Hoyt." She smiled.

"So you guys stayed roommates and bumped pelvises for four years, awesome." Pam said sarcastically and Hoyt 's face turned bright red.

"No Pamela, we did not. We immediately went got everything fixed but we stayed in touch and started dating not long after." Hoyt said with stars in his eyes, he was in L-O-V-E. I felt alittle jealous but then I quickly remembered I had Eric. I looked at him and smiled. Then we heard banging on the door.

"Amelia! Amelia!" It sounded like Tray.

"Excuse me." Amelia said standing up heading for the door, we tried not to listen in but it was pointless. Tray was pleading with her to take him back and she was crying. She walked back in the house and Tray followed.

"Turn around Amelia, please." She turned to him and he got down on one knee.

"Amelia will you marry me?"

"Yes, yes I 'll marry you." She jumped in his arm and they started making out like teenagers. Jessica cleared herthroat and they pulled away from each other long enough to say goodbye and leave.

"Ah young love." Pam said.

"you win some, you lose some?" Eric teased.

"Oh shut up, I was the one who told Tray we were here but I never thought in a million years he 'd propose." She said in disgust.

"... or that she 'd say yes." I added and Pam nodded.

"You mean to say that you and Amelia... ooh ok?" Hoyt finally caught on looking at Pam.

We left awhile later after offering to help clean up only to be refused by Jessica. "Don 't be silly y' all were my guests and I 'm a good hostess," She smiled hugging us all. Pam was passed out in the backseat of my car having lost her ride to the newly engaged Amelia and Tray. We were closer to Bon Temps so I drove home to get more clothes to bring for Eric 's.

"I 'll be two seconds." I said kissing Eric.

"Let me come with you." The way he emphasized the word come made my girly bits all tingly. I helped him out of the car and we kissed walking up the stairs. I broke away to get my keys and I saw the words 'Whore' spray painted in big bold red letters. "I'm calling the police." Eric said pulling me to him.

Let me know what you think?
