Chapter 10

Disclaimer…..ok ok I think I've lost a lot of readers because I took so long to post another update but just as long as I get hits….you'll get stories. The occasional review is much appreciated.

I went most of the day trying to ignore him. It was kind of hard to ignore him though. Besides the fact that he was probably one of the most gorgeous men I had seen in my entire life. He wouldn't stop starring at me. Babbette was serving him…did I say serving? Because what I meant to say was shamelessly flirty like a cheat $2 harlot.

Bitch…..Where the hell did that come from?

He must have ordered 4 ice teas. This man must have the bladder the size of Texas.

"HEY Case." Babbette said as I was clearing off the table.

"Yeah Babbette." I said without looking at her. I don't know why Babbette didn't like me but the way I see it. If she doesn't like me and I have tried countless times to ignore her, and she still talks to me like we're "friends" then that just gives me an excuse to be a 'bitch'….it's a good way to releave stress.

"Senior Hottie wanted me to give you this." She then reached into her apron and pulled out a card.

I now know what said jerk is a Mr. James Wheeler and apparently the owner of the auto body shop that opened a few weeks ago.

Wheelers Wheels….hmmm rude and corny…..sounds like a keeper

"He said that he was sorry and he would like you to give him a call sometime." She then paused and looked me up and down as if she were looking at some infection. She then let out a smirk. "cant really see why." she then finished.

I just simply sighed. True Babbette was smaller than me but all she had going for her was a 'nice' rack…everything else resembled a man….face too. "maybe he'll come around and talk to you…that is if he ever develops a thing for cheap, hermaphrodite whores."

And just before leaving I help up two fingers and finished my insult. "fingers crossed."

-------------------------------------------

When 11 o'clock hit I was getting ready to leave when Sam called me into his office.

"What can I do for you captain?" I asked with a smile.

"I was just checking to see if you were ok." Was all he siad.

For some reason I couldn't quite answer him right away. I just stood there and shifted my weight from one foot to another. Before I came here and was on my own, before I met Sookie and Sam I was never really use to people being nice to me let alone being concerned for me.

I guess the idea still makes me a little uncomfortable.

"Trust me Sam. I'm fine." I said with a caring smile.

Gotta love that Sam.

"are you sure?' He asked looking into my eyes as if he were searching for some hidden meaning to the phrase 'I'm fine.'

I just simply smiled and have him a mach punch.

"it's a shame you're an only child Sam. You would have made one hell of an older brother.

That comment awarded me a smile and I left the room.

I got to my hotel at about 11:30 that night. Took a shower and charged into my pajamas. (Little fluffy sheep shorts and my Merlottes tank) and thought about all the things that I would get with the $10,000. I suddenly heard a small rap at the door.

"Please god, not tonight." I groaned as I rolled out of bed. When I opened the door. It was Bill. Sookies Bill and I felt slightly annoyed….well…wouldn't you if you knew that a person really didn't like you for no particular reason?"

"Hello." Was all he said.

We stood there in silence for what seemed like an eternity.

"Well hell, come on in." I said finally. "Leave the door opened." I finished.

"What can I do for you Billy boy?" I said as I leaned against the dresser.

"I have been informed to tell you that a woman by the name of Samantha will be coming to your room to take you shopping." He said not making eye contact….

How rude

"What do you mean shopping?' I asked confused.

"as in purchasing--"

"Yes. Thank you I know what shopping is. I am poor not stupid. What I mean is what am I shopping for? I mean if it is this Vamp convention I've already got an outfit picked out."

"May I see it please." Bill asked in a somewhat bored tone.

What did Sookie see in this asshole?

I decided to humor the guy….HA! Humor a vampire….I have a better chance at making Hitler laugh. But nevertheless I went to the closet and polled out a sky blue sundress that I got from Sookie as a "Welcome to Merlottes" gift.

I immediately regretted showing the dress to Bill because he looked as if I had shown him a pair of acid was bib overalls…shiver

"I am afraid that, THAT particular outfit is not suitable for such a gathering. Don't worry the iems that you purchase tomorrow will e taken care of and it wont interfere with the money that you were promised."

I simply just starred at him…not only did this guy think that I was annoying but now he said, in other words, that I have a suck ass fashion sence….granted I didn't pick out the dress but I still thought that it was cute. But I guess vampires don't appreciate cute.

"Samantha will arrive at precisely 9:30am tomorrow and after that you will be escorted to Fantasia to go over some of the procedures that will be taken."

"OH! I was wondering….when is this convention?" I asked feeling somewhat niave having agreed to go to a convention full of Vampires and not even think to asked about in depth details.

Bill just simply looked at me as if he would sigh….but since vampired sont breathe I couldn't really comment on it.

"You will be leaving in three days." Bill finally said at he headed for the door.

"Wait." I siad quickly. He paused and looked over his shoulder.

"Bill you are no longer welcomed." I said. like I siad…poor not stupid.

He simply smirked and headed out the door.

So I had a few hours of sleep before I had to wake up and go on the first shopping spree of my life. As I headed for the door I thought also about how I would have to see Eric again. "God I cant stand that neanderthol of a boss of yours." I said.

I read from Bills thoughts he then paused and starred into my eyes for the first time.

The last thing Bill heard me said before I closed the door was….."ooooh im teeeellling."
