EPOV

Three quarters of an hour later, we were all sitting at a table in my very own bar. As it was early (and none of us had eaten any dinner) yet, so we decided that we would just order a Chinese and have it delivered to the bar. We were also going to break into the soft drinks that were stored behind the bar – strangely none of us felt like drinking...perhaps we all wanted to remember the night that Sookie finally got rid of her giant dick (pardon the pun) of a husband. At least I hoped that was what she was going to do. I don't think I could bear it if she went back to him.

I think I'm gonna have to tell her. Yes. I am. I'm gonna let her know. Even if she doesn't reciprocate my feelings or emotions, at least I will always have her as my best friend. Having her as my best friend would never and could never be as good as having her as my lover but it would be better than having her as nothing.

I had to tell her. Perhaps not tonight...but I will tell her. I have to.

By the time I had finished my day dream, we had finished our dinner and the bar was just opening up for the night. Well. Great. Here on my only night off. Excellent. At least I was here with my Sookie...wait...my...where did that come from...she hasn't even said that she was getting rid of Creepy Compton.

Two weeks later.

In Valhalla.

"Hey you guys...I wanna tell you something...I've been mulling this over for a long time, and I think that you should know." Pam began, slowly, unsurely. Huh. That was odd. Pam was always uber-confident. She was never unsure. But, then she turned to Amelia, who was sitting beside her, who gave Pam a sympathetic smile, before continuing.

"What Pam is trying to say is that...well by saying 'I' she really means 'we' - we – as in Pam and I - have been seeing each other for the past three months and we thought that..well...that it was time that we let you know...we are in love...but the one thing that I...I don't know about Pam...but the one thing that I ask of you is that you don't question my choices...I have the right to be with whoever I choose to...I understand if you want to try to change my mind but this is who I am...I am a woman who is in love with another woman. A lesbian. And I am proud of it."

Wow. I didn't even see that coming. Two of my friends were in love with each other. I guess it was sort of like with me and Sookie. Except the object of Pam's affections actually knew that she loved her. Sookie didn't. But that was all about to change.

"Sookie" I asked turning towards Sookie, who was sitting beside me – opposite Pam and Amelia, facing them. "Can you please come back into my office for a second. I have something that I need for to ask you." Oh God. Was I really going to do this. It seemed more and more likely that I was. It was all going to come out now. Wasn't it just. Great. Time to man up Northman.

"Sure"

We both got up and walked back to my office. Right here goes. The walk to the office seemed both like an eternity and much too short. All at the same time.

All too quickly, we were both sitting on the sofa that I had in my office. For why I had it there I didn't know. I just did. It wasn't like I was a man whore or anything.

"Sookie, I really needed to talk to you, to tell you something. I want you to hear me out. Please don't speak until I'm finished. If you interrupt me, I'm not sure that I am gonna be able to get it all out. Can you do that for me, Sookie?" My entire mouth was dry. I was barely able to speak. Never and I repeat never...in my whole entire life, have I been this nervous when chatting to a woman. Ever. Yes, I, the Great Eric Northman was nervous. Of his best friend. His female best friend. Who he was in love with.

"Come on, Eric, just tell me, you are scaring me" Sookie said, concerned.

"Sookie...I love you...I've been in love with you for years...ever since we first met, ever since our first day at secondary school. I've loved you. It doesn't matter if you don't love me back. I know that you just finished with Bill and that you probably aren't looking for anyone right now. I just needed you to know...I..."

But I never got to finish my sentence as I was cut off suddenly by a pair of hungry lips suddenly attacking mine.

Ok, hope you liked it... I'm really sorry for the really short chapter but I wanted to get this out ASAP. Am going now to make a start on the next chapter...on a side note...if I get 25 reviews by tomorrow night...I'll update an extra chapter for you all to enjoy...there might even be some lemons...but only if I get the reviews. So you know what to do...click the little button.

P.S. I have posted links for all the chapter titles on my profile. Let me know if you actually watch the youtube links for the songs. Let me know what you think of them too.
