After Fangtasia closed up around three am, Eric drove Kaeson home. He did not need any directions, which scared Kaeson. She did not like the idea of Eric Northman knowing where she lived; after all he was somewhat of a dangerous vampire. When they pulled up in her drive way, Eric came around to her side of the car and opened her door. As he walked her to the front door he seemed a bit on edge. When they got to the front porch, Kaeson turned and asked:

"Eric, is there something going on? Do you need to come in for a minute?"

Eric looked at her puzzled for a second until he understood what she meant.

"No, everything is fine. If I was to go into your house, things may happen that we would regret." He replied smiling mischievously.

Kaeson slightly tilted her head to the side as she looked at Eric. He chuckled and nodded toward the door.

"Sure you don't want to stay for a bit? We didn't really get to finish talking about everything."

"You need to sleep; you have work in the morning."

"I can call in sick." She pleaded as he laughed.

"Maybe next time, Kae." He smiled as he waved good-bye and turned to walk away.

"Eric?"

"Hmm?" He asked as he turned back toward her.

"I'm sorry for everything I said earlier, about you being an asshole and everything. You're not that at all."

"Don't tell anyone that after all, I do have a reputation to uphold." He replied and smiled at Kaeson.

She laughed and they exchanged good nights again, and she watched him drive off from her front porch.
