Chapter seven
Normal
Dressed in a black bra and panties, she went to her closet and put on her midnight blue silk tank top and black jeans. She put on her midnight blue velvet coat and put on her midnight blue velvet pumps. She let her hair down and waited for Eric to get up.
Since she didn't have to work today, Sookie thought that they should do something. Like maybe go karaoke at the local bar, in Shreveport. She hadn't sung in forever.
Any minute Eric would be getting up. Just as she had said this, the closet door had opened. In the door way stood, Eric Northman, looking sexy as hell. His hair was long, and his bangs covered his left eye, to make his look, look exotic. He was wearing black pants, silk white shirt, and black dress shoes. He was her vampire. Her lover. And her boyfriend.
Eric grinned at her. "I sense that you want to ask me something. You also hesitate, why?'' He folded his arms across his chest and waited. He had that sly look in his eyes. She could guess that he somewhat knew what she was going to ask him, he loved teasing her, anyway. "Well, I'm waiting.''
He thought that she looked cute, when her cheeks would get red from anger. "Fine! I was wondering if you would like to go karaoke with me?'' She waited for him to reply. "Are you asking me out on a date?'' She looked up at him and playfully slapped him on the arm. There was amusement dancing in eyes, making the blue darker. "Eric, it's not funny. I'm serious.'' Even though she giggled.
"Okay, we'll go.'' He laughed and as Sookie squealed with excitement. One minute she was laughing in his arms, the next she was by the door. "Eric, hurry up.'' With a smile on his face, he rolled his eyes and locked the door behind him.
Eric parked his car across the street, where the bar was located.
Now standing in front of the bar, Sookie looked annoyed and Eric had male amusement all of his face. "Of all the names, they had to name it, Exotic Knight, just what I needed.'' She huffed as she paid the bouncer.
Eric laughed and led her to a table that was away from the crowd, that kept getting bigger, by the minute. "Sookie, you're the one that suggested that we come here and check it out.'' He said as the laughter in his eyes grew.
"Whatever. And I suppose that you're here to see if there will be any competition?" She whispered as she swayed to the music.
He leaned back with a smug look in his face. "There is no competition. I have everything that I ever wanted,'' He turned and let his smoldering gaze fall onto her face. "And right now, I want you.'' As he licked her ear. Sookie looked at Eric and smiled. "Do you really want me?'' She whispered. "You have no idea.'' His fangs popped out with a little growl. "Are you sure?'' She moans out. "Hell yeah.'' As he slides closer. "I'm not in the mood for you.'' Giving him a mischievous look. "Oh, there's Alcide.'' With that, she headed toward the wolf-man.
Sookie walked up to Alcide and tapped him on the shoulder. Turning around, his green eyes got darker and he smiled, as he drew her into a hug. "Ah, Sookie, you still take my breath away. Tell me, how do you like the bar?'' She noticed that he was still the same. His dark hair was longer and his bangs were brushed to the side. More muscular and taller. And to this day, still takes her breath away ay how handsome he is. If things were different, then she would date him. "You're still charming. This place is exciting. I came here to karaoke. What about you?'' She stared at him as he ordered them beer.
"I'm here to enjoy myself. And of course, to see you karaoke.'' She saw him stiffen and growl. She turned her head and found Eric standing behind her. "Alcide. How is that pack of yours?'' He asked as he snaked his arm around Sookie's waist. "My pack is non of your concern, but we are doing good.'' Before anyone could speak, the DJ came on stage.
"Alright, it is now time for open mic. If anyone would like to come up and sing, come on up. Don't be shy, I promise I won't bite.'' He had the whole bar laughing.
Sookie looked around and raised her hand. After all, she had wanted to come. She pushed past Eric and walked up to the stage. She let her breath out and whispered into the DJ's ear. With a grin on his face, he went and did as she had asked. When the music started playing, she closed her eyes and let the lyrics take over. She opened her eyes, stared right at Eric and began singing.
Every night I rush to my bedWith hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see youWhen I close my eyes I'm going out of my headLost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover the skiesAnd I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullabyWhat kinda dream is this?You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareEither way I don't wanna wake up from you(Turn the lights on)Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareSomebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true(Turn the lights on)My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no whereBaby long as you're here I'll be floating on air'Cause you're myYou can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareEither way I don't wanna wake up from you(Turn the lights on)I mention you when I say my prayersI wrap you around all of my thoughtsBoy you're my temporary highI wish that when I wake up you're thereTo wrap your arms around me for realAnd tell me you'll stay by sideClouds filled with stars cover the skiesAnd I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullabyWhat kinda dream is this?
Sookie looked at Eric, who was leaning lazily against the bar looking at her with complete shock on his handsome face. She was coming to like the look on his face.
Eric lustfully stared back at her. Sweetly. So fucking sweet. Her voice dripped with honey, while those brown eyes glittered with a dare. He wasn't aware of Alcide, until the ware shifter had spoken up. "You're one lucky bastard, even though you don't deserve her.'' Eric growled at him. Alcide threw his hands up and whispered, "Don't worry, we are just friends. It's sad that we couldn't be more.'' With a sigh, Alcide walked back to where his pack was playing a game of pool.
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareEither way I don't wanna wake up from you(Turn the lights on)Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareSomebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true(Turn the lights on)My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no whereBaby long as you're here I'll be floating on air'Cause you're myYou can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareEither way I don't wanna wake up from you(Turn the lights on)Tattoo your name across my heart so it will remainNot even death can make us partWhat kind of dream is this?You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareEither way I don't wanna wake up from you(Turn the lights on)Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareSomebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true(Turn the lights on)My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no whereBaby long as you're here I'll be floating on air'Cause you're myYou can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmareEither way I don't wanna wake up from you(Turn the lights on)Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Eric didn't lose Sookie's gaze as she made her way towards him. He grabbed her arm and dragged her to the back room. He locked the door and made his way to her. He wanted her so bad, to claim her. And now as he looked at her, he might just do that.
