Chapter 5
For the entire car ride to Merlotte's Bill held my hand, every few seconds looking over to smile at me. I squeezed his hand.
"I love you" I said, smiling at my gorgeous new husband.
I couldn't believe we had actually done it, we where married, with everything that had happened, at one point I thought being Mrs Compton was just a dream. Now my dream had come true and I had never been happier.
Bill brought my hand up to his lips and softly brushed them against my fingers.
"I love you too Mrs Compton" he replied, kissing my hand again.
Just the touch of his lips sent me crazy, I wanted him to pull the car over and take me right there but i knew that wasn't practical, at least not in this dress. When we finally pulled into Merlotte's parking lot, Bill leaned over and kissed me tenderly, brushing his hand from my ear along my jaw, sending sparks of electricity through my already overheated skin. I kissed him back, passionately, until he shifted uncomfortably in his seat and pulled away. I could tell he was trying to calm himself down.
"Sookie" he growled, looking at me with pure love and lust in his unbelievably blue eyes.
"Sorry honey" I said smiling and, before I knew it, he was round my side of the car, opening the door for me.
Bill took my hand, helped me from the car, and kissed me again quickly.
"Shall we go to our reception Mrs Compton?" he asked with a look of complete contentment on his face.
"Let's" I said, smiling back at him, in my entire life I'd never felt as happy as I was right at this minute.
Bill & I walked from the car, holding hands, both of us fighting the urge to just go back to the house and start our wedding night now. We could both feel what the other was feeling, which made the feeling so much harder to resist. I looked at the amazing rows and rows of tables decorated with beautiful white & purple silk. Tables full of food of all different wonderful smelling dishes, a table full of bottles of Tru Blood in all different blood types and a microwave ready to heat them up. Sam had done an amazing job, the outside bar was set up with every kind of booze, beer and soda you could imagine. A stage had been set up where a live band was playing the music our friends and family where dancing to. The band and having a great time. Jessica was dancing with Hoyt, she looked stunning in her purple silk bridesmaid's dress. Everyone looked so happy. I turned to Bill, with tears in my eyes.
"Sookie, what's wrong sweetheart?" he asked worriedly.
"Oh Bill" I said, "I'm just so happy - these are happy tears."
Bill smiled leaned forward and kissed the tears away.
"I am too" he said "Shall we?"
He took my hand and led me over to where Sam was standing.
"Oh Sam" I said "this is so amazing. Thank you so much"
"Yes," Bill said, "thank-you, Sam, you have done a wonderful job"
"It was my pleasure. You guys are family"
I hugged Sam; Bill shook his hand.
"So," said Sam, "you guys ready?"
Bill squeezed my hand.
"Yes" I said, beaming with happiness.
Bill & I made our way over to the main table where two champagne flutes were waiting, Tara came over, hugged me and, to Bill's & my surprise, hugged Bill as well. Then she filled my glass with the ice cold champagne and produced a small silk bag and a special bottle of Tru Blood for Bill. He looked at me questioningly.
"It's imported" I told him "infused with champagne. I thought you should have something special for our wedding toast"
Tara poured the warm Tru Blood into Bill's champagne flute and then opened the small silk bag and removed a small vial filled with my blood.
"Champagne infused Tru Blood, with a dash of Sookie" I said as I emptied the vial into his glass.
Bill smiled at me in disbelief "You did this for me?" he asked.
"I'd do anything for you." I answered honestly, "Sam helped get the Tru Blood".
"Well, I will be sure to thank him" said Bill.
Bill & I took our seats in the middle of the long table that had been set for the wedding party, Jessica & Hoyt sat to Bill's left and Jason, Tara and Sam sat to my right. The table was beautifully decorated with the purple & white silk ribbons and matching flowers.
Jason stood and carefully tapped his champagne flute.
"Hey! Can I have all y'all's attention?" he said loudly.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"I wanna make a toast to my little sister and my new brother. Sook I know things ain't been easy for you but ever since you met Bill, I've ain't never seen you happier. Sook, you're one of the kindest people, who'll do anything to help someone, even a stranger. If anyone deserves to find their soul-mate it's you. And you've found that in Bill. And Bill, I know I ain't always been the most welcoming or supportive person in the past. I was wrong about that. I can tell by the way you look at my sister that you love her very much and I just wanted to welcome you to the family. So everyone raise your glasses and join me in toasting Sookie & Bill!" Sure enough, everyone raised their glasses and together shouted "To Sookie & Bill!"
I lifted my champagne flute, as did Bill, and we smiled as we clinked our glasses. I took a drink of the champagne it was delicious, chilled to perfection, and I giggled a little when the bubbles tickled my nose. Bill smiled lovingly at me and took a sip from his own glass. He closed his eyes and I could tell by the look on his face, I had got it right.
"Is it good?" I asked in a whisper.
He smiled "It is exquisite, Sookie. Thank-you sweetheart", he lifted my hand to his cool lips and kissed it gently.
Jason sat down and then Sam stood up.
"I've known Sookie for a long time now and she's not just my employee but also my friend. Bill and I didn't get off to the best start but he has become one of my best friends, and I was honoured when he asked me to be his best man"
Sam turned, smiling, to look at us.
"Sook, Bill, the way you two look at each other is like magic and I wish you a lifetime of happiness together"
With that, we raised our glasses again. Sam sat down, then Bill rose to his feet. My husband looked into my eyes with so much love it took my breath away.
"Sookie" he said lovingly "I believed I was destined to spend my existence alone, never to experience true love, then one night I entered Merlotte's and found you. My miracle, my heart, my soul-mate. The night I met you I stopped just existing and started living. All because of you. You have shown me love, compassion, comfort and companionship. You make me a better man, Sookie, and for that I cannot thank you enough. I love you darling" he lifted his glass.
"To my Sookie" he said and we all raised our glasses again.
Then I stood to kiss him, while blinking back the tears of happiness that where threatening to spill over.
The Hoyt got up, "Now if all y'all will clear the dance floor it's time for the bride & groom to have their first dance."
Bill & I made our way to the dance floor as 'From This Moment On' by Shania Twain & Brian White began to play, I thought this song was perfect for us. Bill put his arm around my waist and pulled me close as we began to dance. Bill held me close, he lovingly kissed the top of my head, I looked up as he leaned down and kissed me tenderly. I responded in kind and I could feel myself becoming excited, not sure how much longer I could hold out. I began running my fingers through his hair, Bill broke the kiss and chuckled quietly.
"Darling, if you keep doing that I will not be able to control myself and we still have a while to go before I can get you alone"
"Sorry baby" I said sheepishly.
I layed my head against Bill's chest and, as we danced, others made their way back to the dance floor. I smiled at Andy Bellefleur who was being dragged on to the dance floor by Holly the new waitress. Arlene was dancing with Terry, and Lafayette was dancing with old Mrs McCray who worked part-time at the library. Everyone was having a great time, those that where not dancing were eating and chatting. I could see Tara dancing with Sam and Jess dancing with Hoyt, holding on to him as tightly as I was holding Bill.
"Do you think they'll be next?" I asked Bill.
"Probably," he smiled, "they love each other as much as we do. She has been through so much, they both have, whatever they decide I will support them, they deserve to be happy", he kissed the top of my head again.
Jason made his way over to us, smiling.
"Hey! Mind if i cut-in?"
"Of course not" replied Bill smiling, "I should probably go speak to Helen & Matthew" he said looking at two of his vampire guests.
"Of course baby" I agreed as he kissed me and walked over to where his friends were enjoying the complimentary Tru Bloods.
Jason took my hand and we began dancing.
"Gran would have been real proud of you today Jason" I said smiling at my big brother.
"You think?" he asked smiling.
"Absolutely, you did me proud, I can't thank you enough" I said, and kissed him on the cheek.
"Oh Sook" he said, blushing a little, "Thanks"
I was sat resting after dancing with Sam, Hoyt, Lafayette, Terry and Andy Bellefleur as well as, a three way dance, with Coby & Lisa. While I was dancing, Bill kept looking over, smiling at me as he sat chatting with his friends. As I was dancing with Lafayette, I saw Bill dancing with Tara, it made me happy to see them getting on so well. While I danced with Hoyt, Bill danced with Jess, he looked just like a proud father and it made me smile to see them that way together.
When Bill walked back over to me, I stood up and wrapped my arms around him.
"Well Mrs Compton, I believe we have time for one more dance before it is time for me to take you home. And spend the rest of the night ravishing you" he said.
When I heard those words it took every ounce of restraint I had not to jump him there and then. Bill walked me over to the dance floor and we danced holding each other as closely as we could allow ourselves
The food had quickly vanished and so had a lot of the alcohol. Everyone was having a great fun but the time had come for Bill and I to say our thank-yous and wish everyone a goodnight, so that we could make our way back to our home, to begin our wedding night. I hugged Sam, Tara and Jason. Bill shook hands with Hoyt and Sam and thanked them again, for what they had done to help with the wedding. Bill thanked Sam for tracking down and getting the special Tru Blood. He hugged Tara and Jess and was a little surprised when a slightly drunk Jason hugged him too. We said our goodbyes and got into the car with all our friends and family wishing us all the best and cheering.
Bill drove us home, unaffected by the small amount of champagne in the Tru Blood. Home, where we would spend our first night together as husband and wife, and I couldn't wait.
