Chapter Three
Normal
Today was another boring day at Merlotte's and it was only 6:30. What Sookie wanted to do, was get out there before she died of boredom.
She went and found her boss/friend Sam in his office.
"Hey. I was wondering, since it's not busy, that I could leave early? I got this headache and I wanted to go home and rest?'' she waited patiently. "Yeah, sure. Hope you feel better, see you tomorrow.''
Once she stepped out of the office, she had to smother a handful of giggles. Sookie grabbed her purse and waved to everyone as she walked to her car.
Eric had found himself in his office yet again the next night. 'All work and no play.' Ever since he didn't have any humans to play with(better yet kidnap or torture them into confessing a crime against a vampire), but none were found.
He couldn't bother Bill, because someone had already kidnapped him. 'What a pity.' Just then, he felt a shift in the blood bond. Something happened. "Pam, I need you to look after the bar. I'm going out.'' On his way out, he didn't even notice the look Pam was giving him. "You know, master? You should tell Sookie that you love her? Cause we All noticed what you have become whipped.''
Eric stopped in his tracks and slowly turned and focused on his child, examining her nails and smirk, "I am not whipped.'' He said very slowly punctuating each word.
"Oooh, denial. Chow watch the bar I'm going with Eric to watch him fall apart in front of Sookie.'' Pam giggled. Eric just rolled his eyes. "No your not, stay here. Don't even think about following me. The last thing I need is a sexually frustrated romantic giving me advice. I'm going to make a deal with a client.'' He strolled towards the door, with Pam's voice trailing, "Yeah a deal, I'm sure. It's more like who's getting her in bed first. Well it's going to be very interesting.''
Pam said as she gave him a fangy smile.
"Hey Pam, aren't you do at the daycare I signed you up to?'' With that he firmly shut the door in Pam's angered face.
"At least my pets don't keep me on a tight leash.''
Sookie found herself at the clearing(where Bill had given her his blood for the first time). Though she didn't come here to think about Bill, what she came here to do was think about a certain vampire that kept her up at all hours of the night. And also to the fact that he admitted that he loved her.
She had to admit that there was an attraction and a whole lot of baggage. "I hate him and his stupid handsome face.'' She felt a shift behind her and gasped. 'Please don't let it be Eric.' Eric emerged from standing in the dark shadows of the forest. "Hope it was my handsome face you were talking about.'' He took a seat next to her and smiled.
"Why are you here? I thought you were at your bar with one of your play things.'' she turned back to look out towards the lake and giggled as a fish leapt out of the water into the air and then only to summersault back into the water.
"Jealous? Why, do want to play? Your Mine.'' Eric smirked, whereas Sookie just glared. Eric could have sworn that he saw a blush outlying her cheeks. "I'm not yours. Just go away.'' She didn't want to talk to him. "I could be persuaded.''
Sookie got up and looked at Eric. "Thanks to you, my peace and quiet got interrupted by a noisy old vampire.'' Eric smirked.
