Ch 6
Eric pulled into Merlotte's parking lot and walked around to open the door for Kerrie. He leaned in as their lips met in a passionate kiss. Eric lifted her up a bit so she was sitting on the hood of the car.
"Don't even think about it. Not here."
"Come on, I though we need to put on a show." Eric mumbled kissing her neck. Kerrie jumped down off the hood as Eric wrapped an arm around her waist. "At least we're not faking." He said with a snicker. They walked into the bar and everyone turned to look at them.
"It's that guy that owns Fangtasia." A woman whispered as they settled into a booth in the corner.
"He's at the bar with Sookie's brother." Eric said resting his arm around her shoulder.
"Yea, he gave us a death stare when we came in." A red haired woman came walking over to the table nervously.
"We'll have a Corona and lime."
"Nothing for you?"
"I only like the real thing." Eric said semi-loudly as people sitting around them turned to look.
"Be right back." She hurried to the bar and sent Sam back with the beer.
"Tone it down a bit." Sam hissed as Eric shot him a cold stare. Kerrie pushed the lime in and flipped the beer upside down.
"Back in my day we had real beer." Eric huffed as Kerrie took a large gulp.
"It tastes real enough to me." Kerrie looked at the bar to see Rene talking to Jason and another man. "Maudette wasn't the first." Kerrie said softly.
"He's done it before?"
"Yea, he killed his own sister." Eric refrained from growling. "Come on, let's get out of here." He said standing up as Kerrie finished off her beer.
Back at Sookie's house Bill managed to get the letter as Sookie washed a few dishes he quickly read the letter.
"Bill, I know that you feel very strongly for Sookie so you need to tell her the truth. I could pick up on your guilty feelings a mile away, I don't know the exact details but if you don't tell her soon they you will loose her. I've seen what your future can be both ways. I have a strange feeling that your not going to tell her despite my warning and your gonna regret it when she ends up with Eric or someone else. Good luck ~ Kerrie."
Bill folded up the letter and put it in his pocket. Sure he did love Sookie but telling her could get him into some serious trouble with the queen. Hopefully she wouldn't tell Eric because Bill didn't want another thing Eric could hold over his head.
"What's the matter?" Sookie asked sitting at the table.
"Nothing." He said forcing a smile.
Eric drove in silence to the hotel.
"Are you coming up?" Eric nodded and went to open the trunk.
"I have, Declan's gift with me." He said taking out a large gift bag and Kerrie's bag.
