Yes, I know that this one is so very short. I'm trying to build momentum. And I am sorry for the late update! I really suck! I'll make it up to you guys in the next chapters alright?

I do not own any of the true blood or southern vampire characters.

Please send in reviews.

Chapter 5

"So that's it, then. You saved me. But you decided to take a bite in return," Sookie said. She tried to remember as much as she could but her memory was still in-complete and foggy.

"I like to receive my payments up front." Eric nodded.

"And that's it? That's all that happened?" Sookie asked.

"Yes."

"I really don't know what to say. Should I be angry or happy? I'm confused." Sookie says standing up and looking around, then at Eric.

"Why are you confused? "

"Because I have this attraction for you, it's very strong. But now, I'm wondering if it is only because of blood or do " She says as she moves closer and leans in to eric.

"mhhhm Do you want to test it?" Eric says, pulling sookie's hand but she lets go and continue's talking.

"At the same time, I don't want to get involved with you. Almost everyone knows your reputation Eric. I, for one, do not wanna be part of that long list of women you've gotten bored after a while."

Eric stands up and grabs sookie's head. He kisses her passionately, " You are not like those women. Clearly, you see that I treat you different." He says, as he kisses her again.

Sookie pulls up Eric's shirt off. As Eric begins to un- button her dress.

"You know I'm cheating on Bill right by doing this." Sookie says, as Eric kisses her neck.

"Then I shall make it worth your while," He smiles.

"But you will no longer see him. Am I right?" Eric says in between kissing Sookie.

"I. I don't know. Bill and I are in a relationship. I love him, Eric"

"Do you not want to be with me? Do you not want to be my lover? I would stay true to you Sookie." Eric says as he looks down, sadly.

" Whether I love you or not, It is too soon. I want to be with someone I can spend the rest of my life with."

"But you can spend the rest of your life with me, It is, I, who can't spend the rest of my life with you."

"I don't want to talk about this now. Right now, I just wanna be with you." She says pulling Eric back into a kiss. The kiss is long and lingering, her warm breathe on his lips. He pulls her close, not wanting to let her go.

Suddenly, sookie stops, pushes Eric away and stares at him. She puts her hand in her mouth. Covering it.

"What's wrong?" Eric asks, as he stops too.

"I.. I.. I need to go to the bathroom," She says keeping her hand in her mouth.

"What? Right now?"

"I.." She covers her mouth before she can finish. Sookie runs out of the office. Eric stands there, dumbfounded. No woman has ever put the bathroom ahead over him. Sookie was really something different.

"Pam," He thinks calling out to her.

As quick as lightning, Pam comes in through the door and see's Eric half-naked.

"Oh, for god's sakes Eric. I have no time to have sex with you," She says.

"No, it is not that. Although that is not a bad idea," Eric smirks.

"I need you to check on sookie. She's in the bathroom." Eric says putting his shirt back on.

"Fine."

Pam heads over to the bathroom and opens the door. Sookie is in one of the cubicle's, barfing.

"I hate puke," She mumbles.

"Pam, is that you?" Sookie says weakly.

"Yes. Eric asked me to check on you." Pam open's the cubicle door and see's sookie sitting on the ground.

"I'm fine. The alcohol is my system must have wanted to go out already."

"Alright. I'll send over some towels so you can clean yourself and go to Eric's office right after."

"Thank you Pam." Sookie mentions.

"Yeah2x. Do not tell anyone of my kindness to you. I have a reputation." She says to sookie coldly, but gives sookie a tiny smile at the end for a second.

And true to Pam's word, someone sends in a few promotional Fangtasia towels. Sookie fixes herself up and gargles lots of water to take away any vomit smell in her mouth.

"I don't suppose they have promotional mouth wash." Sookie thinks.

After a few more touch-ups, Sookie comes back out of the bathroom and heads home.

She takes a cab and drags herself the front door as she grabs her keys from her purse and opens her door. Sookie thinks about how she basically cheated on Bill. But maybe it was just his blood in her system that made her act that way. Whether or not it was, Bill will not be hearing about this.

"Why did you leave? We were not finished." Someone behind her says. She quickly turns around and is surprised to see Eric standing with his arms put together.

"Oh jesus christ Eric, you scared me." she says putting her hand on her chest.

"You did not answer my question."

"I wasn't feeling well."

"You do not look any different."

"I think I have food poisoning." She says as she touches her stomach.

"Are you alright? Do you need anything?"

"I'll be fine. Why are you so concerned about me? The Eric I know, would never care about humans much less someone like me. So why are you doing this? Why do you care? Why me Eric?"

Eric looks at sookie at for a moment as if contemplating how to answer or even wonder what the answer is. Maybe he, himself didn't know why. No woman has made him this confused since he's become a vampire.

Eric comes closer to sookie, " I do not know the answer myself."

"So where does that leave me? Am I just an infatuation?"

He smiles, " You are definitely more than that sookie. But I am confused right now, I do not feel for humans."

"Do you feel for me?"

Eric stays quiet for a while before he answer, "It is more complicated than that. There is something about you that keeps me coming back. Something that I do not feel for humans or vampires alike. What is it about you sookie stackhouse that makes me feel like a human? You draw me back to my humanity," He says as he touches her hair and move it out her face.

Sookie leans closer to kiss Eric but he moves away.

"I must leave. Goodbye sookie stackhouse." And just like that, Eric is gone.

Sookie thinks about what has happened. She still loves Bill but she and Eric have this undeniable connection, something she can't seem or maybe doesn't even want to put aside. She contemplates if she should leave Bill because she is basically cheating on him. But Eric has not voiced out that he wants to be with her. Maybe she's just the flavor of the month.

Sookie goes in her house and heads to the kitchen.

As she thinks about Eric and Bill, she ruffles through the frig looking for something to calm her stomach. She grabs a jar of pickles and some strawberry ice cream. and some chocolate syrup. Sookie grabs a piece of pickle and and dips it in the chocolate syrup and took a bite, " Not bad." She nods. While eating the chocolate covered pickle, sookie also took spoonfuls of strawberry ice cream. She finished a whole bowl before she realizes what she did and what she ate.

"Oh no. Oh no... Oh no .. Oh no. Holy S***t. It can't be. Maybe I'm just having my period, yes that's why." She says covering her face with her hands. She was trying to convince herself of how normal it is but she can't so she pulls her cell out and calls Bill. He answers after a few rings.

"Sook, I'm kinda busy right now. Unless it's an emergency, just tell me when I come home."

"Bill, it's an emergency."

I think you guys know why sookie is freaking out?

How do you think Bill will react to the news?

Update is soon! I'm already in the middle of the next chapter so it might be done in the day after tomorrow.
