Chapter seven.
Woo-hoo Two chapters in on night! I'm on a roll ;) Reviews apperciated. The song I used for this chapter is: "E.T" -Katy Perry (Nintechno Remix) When the lyrics show up. Play the song in the background as you read.
" You can get high on a first kiss, you can get by with sweet tea and God's graces, you can love like a sinner and lose like a winner, Nothing's shatterproof, You can crash and burn and come back someone new and that's what I learned from you"
"Ah, great my last table just left. What time is it Arlene?" I retied my sloppy ponytail wishing I could leave already! A shower definitely would of been the best idea this morning. No worries. That's the first thing that will be accomplished once I step foot in my house. " It's 6:30 why you leaving to get ready?" Arlene was busy with counting her tips. We seriously made bank tonight with all these tips. I almost feel as dirty as a stripper just counting money in front of everybody. " Yeah I was suppose to leave thirty minutes ago. and get ready for what exactly Arlene?" She suddenly stopped her tip counting almost like she lost track. " Uh you know for tonight" She nervously smiled and quickly cleaned up her area. "Damn it. I'm never good at keeping secrets. Their all gonna kill em. Damn it! Damn it! She's reading my mind right now isn't she! I bet she is!"
I looked at her questioning. "I mean it's true you were never good at keeping secrets" She stopped what she was doing and I could tell she got mad as she paused. " Damn it Sookie! stay out of my head!" She ran off into the back kitchen. Uh ok? Uhm..Everyone is acting strange tonight. Whatever all I'm really looking forward to is my nice warm shower.
Finally getting home, It was about 7:06. Dusk was upon us and the vampires and creepy crawlers were all getting ready for their awakwening. I didn't care one bit. I skipped my way into the house to find Jason sleeping on the couch with of course a beer in his hand. Still didn't bother me. I could hear that beautiful shower calling my name. Here I come beautiful crisp shower! Undressing, I threw my clothes with excitement as the steaming fog filled the bathroom. I danced my way into the waterfall of refreshment. ahhhhhh! A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. This was incredible. Almost better than sex. Wait..Really? suddenly the shower got more vibrant. Yes really! Nothing could ruin this. I was enjoying the tranquility.
Until suddenly the shower curtain moves and I scream my head off to find Bill standing there...in a cape? "Bill! You scared me to death! You ever hear of knocking? Cheese and crackers!" Yep. My orgasmic shower session of five minutes was over. -_-
"Sorry darling I was just anxious to see you" He smiled exposing those pearly fangs of his. " I was in the shower Bill. Couldn't have this waited?" I wrapped myself in a towel. " Uh you were naked. Even better" I looked at him and his goofy smile. " What is up with you?" I couldn't quite put my finger on it. " Nothing" He picked me and twirled me around. " We're getting married soon" He kissed me passionately like never before. I was pretty stunned but God he's so cute when he does this. " What's with the cape?" I noticed it flowing behind him. "Sookie. Today is the Eve of Halloween. A big night for vampires." He acted like I knew what he was talking about. I mean I get it. Halloween is frigthening and spooky. But Bill in a cape? Come on. " So your wearing a cape again why?"
" I'll explain it later. You better be getting ready soon. and mix it up a bit. It's halloween" He chuckled and headed for the door. " Twenty minutes my love and we need to be heading out" He closed the door behind him. I stood there confused. " What has gotten wrong with today and the people in it?" I just shrugged. Bill is usually good about these "surprise" things so I guess I should just go along with it. But what the hell was I gonna wear? Jeans and a tank top are out of the question. My eyes gradually met the slutty costume in my bed. I rolled my eyes. Your lucky I love you so god damn much Bill.
" So jason, I didn't know you were a fang banger?" Bill gazed at Jason's evidence of a crazy night. " What? Psh. I am not a fang banger!" He took a sip of his fifth beer mostly sure of himself. " Just a night gone wrong. That's all" Jason tried to smile but almost felt like he had fang banger tatted across his forehead. " You know they say..Once you go fang. You won't want it anyother way." Bill winked jokingly at Jason who was getting paranoid about his reputation or whatever good was left of it. Bill looked at his watch. "Sookie! We're going to be late!"
A touch of blush and I'm set. " Coming!" I made my way out of my bedroom tieing my tight red coat almost like gift wrapping the present. I could feel Bill's eyes lusting for me and Jason's disgusted at me as I headed down the stairs. I mean I hope I didn't look too slutty tonight. I'm a pretty conservative girl but I know how to sex it up a bit. I just didn't feel comfortable doing it in the company of other people. " Well you look..." Bill couldn't find the right word. He was infatuated as it seemed. " Trampy" Jason laughed and popped open another beer. " Fang banger"
" Hey! I am not!" I knew that would get to him. Bill escorted me out the door with his eyes never leaving me. " Should I go change?" I started to feel uncomfortable and that was rare around Bill. " Absolutely not. You look stunning." I smiled at his answer. " Put this on" Bill ordered as he hang a red blindfold in front of me.
" Fangastia? Really Bill.." I took the blindfold off to see the crowded parking lot of the most famous vampire bar in Shreveport. " Yes really Sookie. C'mon just give tonight a chance. Eric offered to throw you a surprise enagement party for the both of us and I knew you too were fine with each other so I thought why not?" I laughed in my head. Ha! Eric and I on good terms. Ha! Never. " I just want you to have a good time and be surrounded by the people who love you. The past year things just have been crazy with all the mess that has been crawling into Bon Temps. We deserve a little fun." I couldn't be angry at Bill. This was almost the most hypocritical thing or the sweetest thing he has ever done for me. Plus I could never say no to that half smile of his. I grabbed his hand with a smile. " Let's go have some fun hubby" His smile wided but the only thing I could think of was: Holy shit I'm actually doing this and Damn you Eric Northman!
There was a long line from the door out into the parking lot. What the hell were they giving away! Bill dragged me all the way to the front like we were VIPs or something. Everyone hated us for it. " Bill, Sookie so glad you could make it" Pam always sounded like she was purring when she spoke or maybe she was just getting into character as the sleazy
leather tight feline. " Sookie you look deeeelicious if I might say." Pam didn't even look in my direction to hand me the compliment I guess that was her way of giving you one. We entered the club and boy was it packed tonight. Everyone was dressed up as their alter-egos or their all time fantasies. Everyone was either grinding up on someone or wishing they were. The place reeked of sex! sweat, desire and filth. Bill brought me to an empty booth " Stay right here. I'm going to go fetch us a couple of drinks" He stole a kiss and he disappeared into the crowd. I felt like a sweet honey bee in a wasp's nest. Do I stand out that much? The dancing and heavy breathing of the clubbers had the place feeling like a sauna. I untied my coat and slowly peeled it off my body exposing my skimpy outfit.
A gust of wind blew in my face with the presence of a stranger. " Well hello there Little Miss Riding Hood" His hungry eyes feasted on my breasts. "Let me escort you to Grandma's house or maybe to mine?" He smiled devilishly. Of course. Vampire. That's all I attract now a days. Before I could even tell off the guy He vanished right before my eyes. I looked closely in front of me to see a massive man holding the creeper by the thoart. The masked man let the scared little prick go but once he caught my gaze he was gone too.
" One bloody mary and sex on the beach for my lovely" Bill knocked me right back into reality.
"Something wrong?" Bill followed where my eyes were staring at. " Nothing at all. I'm just a little thirsty" I took the hard liquor from Bill's hand. Just what I need. We sat at the booth together until a mob of my firends showed up. Alrene, Lafayette, Terry, Tara, Sam etc.
They were all dressed up as scared human beings. Hmm. Seemed to fit them pretty well. "This fucking place gives me the creeps!" Lafayette stole my drink from out of my hand. He must of needed it more than I did. " Who gives a shit! We're here for Sookie!" Tara acted all tough to keep the group together. " Congratsulations Bill and Sookie!" Terry handed us a card. " It's from all of us" Arlene shouted over the music. I was so surprised but pleased to see how accepting they were of Bill's and I relationship. " Aww Thank you guys!" I hugged the card as Bill shook hands with Sam and Terry. " Don't your ass get too excited. There ain't no money in that card" Lafayette joked. " I wanna dance!" Tara twirled her devil tail in the air and Lafayette and Sam met her on the dance floor. " Go dance Sookie!" Terry tried to shoo me away. "Oh no you're crazy Terry" I looked at Bill for his input. "C'mon your gonna be a married woman soon go have some fun while you can!." Terry made a point as he handed Bill a congratsulations cigar. Bill's eyes shared the same view as Terry's. I grabbed Alrene from her free will and took her out on the dance floor with me. I was surprised she actually was going along with all of this. " I feel like such a sex kitten!"Arlene screamed at the top of her lungs with her hands in the had alot to drink before she got here I could tell. That's what she was obviously nervous about earlier today! I liked this side of Arlene. It was loose and care-free almost braver than usual. Bill was right I was having a good time and the people around me were too. But the sudden thought of Eric put me in a daze that I lost Arlene in the large crowd of dancing people. " Arlene? Arlene!" I pushed through the mob to hopefully find an exit out of this enclosed area of people rubbing together but I felt like I was going in circles! Now is when I started to freak out. A popular song appeared on the next track because the whole crowd went wild. I fell to the floor as the roaring crowd trambled their way on the dance floor.
You're so hypnotising
could you be the devil, could you be an angel
your touch magnetizing
feels like going floating, leave my body glowing
I couldn't breathe. I felt my lung capacity grow smaller and smaller. I gazed up to see the swaying, jumping bodies push my fragile self around the floor like a mop. I could scream but who would hear me. A pair of black leather legs stood in front of me and before I could look up I noticed the mask from before. His strong hand pulled me to my feet. There was a sudden space around us like the crowd made room for royalty. He held both of my hands firmly in his almost as if he'd let go i'd float away. I tried to familiarize myself with him but the strobe lights weren't helping and neither was the mask that covered half his face. I tried letting go and thanking him for the quick rescue but he wouldn't let go. He only fought more. As he pulled closer I pulled further away until I met his eyes and I knew something about him was inviting.
He kept trying to pull me closer and I finally gave up to the trance taking over but my gaze stayed strong. His right hand made his way to the arch of my back and his left hand took a grip of my hair to securely hold me. I wanted this man. Whoever the hell he was. My desire grew for him as I took hold of his face and he rushed in for the kill. I almost felt like making love to my masked crusader. Right here on the dance floor. He injected me with some sort of passion I've never felt before. This wasn't like me at all what so ever. Risky.
You're from a whole other/another world
a different dimention
you open my eyes
and im ready to go, lead me into the light
He detached himself from the posionus kiss that we were exipermenting heavliy with. He knew I craved for more as I carved my nails in the back of his head. He made his way to my thoart and slowly glided his lips up and down to tease me. The tip of his tongue tickled my ear and finally the wild side was released. This man's every intention was to unleash the animal in me. I opened my eyes to find him still gazing at me when I had this urge to go for the mask. My fingers met almost underneath his mask barely touching the skin underneath. I attempted the most dangerous thing unknowingly. He grabbed my hand and growled. Fear struck in me but not of the growling but of losing this man. Why did I feel so bounded by him?
Kiss me, k-k-kiss me
infect me with your love, and fill me with your poison
take me, t-t-take me
wanna be your victim, ready for abduction
boy, you're an alien, your touch so far away
its supernatural, extraterrestrial
and there I was. Facing my fear in the middle of the dance floor. alone.
To be continued...
