EPOV:

I woke up the day after the lake feeling great. I was in disbelief at how things had played out. Sookie absolutely blew my mind. I mean, that girl was on fire. I had never kissed someone who was so receptive and passionate. I would grind into her and she would arch her back, curving her body into mine just so. She was absolutely beautiful and lovely and I was lucky she even let me touch her. Sure, I had heard more than a few times that I was good looking, and it was usually easy for me to get laid, but because I had known Sookie for so long I knew right away who the better person was, and who the lucky one was.

I was shallow when I was young. Sookie had always been a wonderful girl. Even when she was chubby her beauty always shone through. And she was always so smart. I remember being amazed when she would plow through a 800 page book in two days. But she never got cocky or pretentious. No, she was always completely down to earth. I now know that a lot of that had to do with her insecurity about her weight.

I'll never forget the first time I really looked at Sookie like she was a girl and not just my friends little sister. I had just turned 18 and she was 14. A rumor had gone around school that she had a crush on a nerd named Bill Compton. Jason called up the stairs, "Sookie!"

She ran down the stairs brushing through her hair. She had just gotten out of the shower and her hair was still wet. She had a robe on but I could still see her tanned chest and legs.

"What?" She looked over to Jason.

"I heard you got a crush on Compton. That true?"

Her face turned red and she looked over to me and then back to Jason.

"Of course not. Where did you hear that?"

"Just about everyone at school is talking about it. Everyone says how cute you'll be together. The nerd beanpole and the fat chick. You know you're really starting to make me ashamed of you. Do you know how it feels to be brothers to such a giant tub of lard?

I instantly saw the blood rush out of her face. A few emotions passed through her eyes- embarrassment to shame to sadness to anger. She slowly bit her lip and fire flickered in her eyes.

"Jason Stackhouse, call me up in ten years. Let's see where I'm at in life and let's see where you are. Cause I have a feeling you'll still be right here, in Bon Temps. I'm gonna see the world and I'm gonna meet people who wouldn't dare call me fat. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, talking to your own sister like that."

I felt Sookie's pain right then and there. I could see her trying her best to stand up for herself even when tears were threatening to spill out of her eyes. Jason smirked like the little asshole he was.

"Yeah Sookie whatever. You have fun with that, fatass."

Sookie spun on her heels and ran back up the steps. I looked over at Jason and muttered, "dick."

I ran after Sookie following her up the steps but she was gone. I heard stifled cries coming from the bathroom. I peeked my head into the crack of the door and she was standing there, brushing her hair, tears flowing down her face. She was saying over and over again as if it was a mantra, You're beautiful, don't cry. You're beautiful, don't cry.

I could see that she didn't believe that for a second, though. She felt as ugly as ever. But the truth is, she had never been more beautiful to me than in that moment.

I couldn't, for some reason, bring myself to comfort her. I turned around and walked back down the steps. Jason was sitting in the kitchen talking on the phone with his girlfriend, Dawn.

"Hang up the phone." I spoke softly.

"What?" He mouthed.

"Hang up the goddamn phone Jason."

He quickly muttered his goodbyes and hung up.

"Yeah man, what is it? I was kinda in the middle of something."

I rolled my eyes.

"You need to stop being so mean to your sister. That was really cruel you know, she's still crying."

"I honestly don't care. Now if you'll please leave me alone, I need to talk to Dawn. I might be getting laid to night. "

He picked the phone back up and I grabbed it out of his hand.

"I'm being serious. Be nicer to your sister or I'm not talking to you anymore."

His eyes got wide.

"You're being serious?"

I nodded.

"Okay, okay. I'll be nicer."

I smiled feeling that I had done something good that day. Jason was never nicer to Sookie, but like I said, I was just a shallow kid. I didn't really care much after that day.

But, as I was saying, Sookie had never been more beautiful to me than when I saw her strength as she tried to hold her self together standing in that bathroom, crying. That is until I saw her in that polka dot bathing suit.

She was absolutely gorgeous and that bathing suit was so right. It's no wonder I had to have her. She was like a magnet, drawing me to her. I would have imploded if I hadn't gotten the chance to just touch her that day.

After I had fully woken up, I stepped out of bed and decided instantly to go over to Sookie's to ask her out on a real date. It's the least I could do. I didn't want her thinking I was just trying to hook up. I got dressed quickly and drove over in a flash. I talked with Jason for a while, deciding whether to ask his permission. I decided against it, at least for a little while. Sookie came downstairs, looking as beautiful as ever. I asked if she would go on a date with me, feeling oddly nervous. She said yes and I don't think I had ever been more excited about anything.

We flirted for a while in the kitchen while she made pancakes. I could tell that she was trying to talk about anything other than the lake incident again.

"So what did Pam think of Amelia?"

I smiled.

"That she was super hot and just her type."

She nodded happily.

"So what are you up to today?"

"I'm free until this evening, so I was just planning on hanging around here until dinner. "

"That's cool."

She put two pancakes on a plate and handed them to me, sitting the syrup and butter down on the table. She got her own and sat down as well. We sat in awkward silence for about 3 minutes until I spoke up.

"So, earlier, when you said that thing about not having many sexual experiences, what did you mean by that?"

Her face got red.

"I mean exactly what I said. It's not exactly a thinker, Eric."

"So you haven't slept with many guys, or what?"

She laughed.

"That's hardly any of your business and it's definitely not something to discuss over breakfast in my Gran's kitchen."

"Oh come on Sookie, please."

She rolled her eyes.

"Okay. I've slept with one guy. And only a few times."

"Seriously? I always thought those ivy-league kids were wild and crazy."

"Well Eric I don't know what to tell you. I'm just not really a sexual person."

I laughed heartily.

"What?" She spoke, looking confused.

"I'm sorry Sookie, but the way you acted with me yesterday tells a very different tale. You were very passionate."

She smiled a cute grin and looked up at me slyly. "Well maybe it's because of you, then."

I felt myself getting hard thinking again about her beautiful, curvy body writhing beneath me.

"Okay, new subject."

She seemed a little upset. "Excuse me?"

"Oh no, it's just, if we keep talking about it.. uhm.. you're waking up little Eric."

She blushed, realizing what I meant. "Oh.. we wouldn't want that now would we.."

I cleared my throat. "No.. you said something about taking it slow.."

She bit her lip and little Eric was almost fully awake now.

"Oh yeah slow..That's best, I think." She stood up and grabbed our plates to clear them.

I caught a glimpse of her beautiful round ass and almost couldn't contain myself.

Taking it slow is going to be a lot harder than I thought.

Hey guys, so I hope I didn't paint Jason as too much of an asshole. You have to remember he's just a teenage boy. And most teenage boys are huge assholes, hehe. Sorry if the timeline in this chapter is confusing. I'm very amateur at writing and I only do it for fun. I'm trying to improve but I'm not always the best. PLEASE leave me a review telling me what you liked and what you didn't. I really want to improve.

Next up: SPOV and first date.
