Sitting back touching Eric's hand made me feel more comfortable. Everything in the room seem to stop or go slow. In that one instant he didn't feel like a monster that he was. He wasn't like anyone I had ever met in my life. It was weird to think that we only knew each other for a day… Not even. I have let this man no vampire see something that I never shown anyone not even Sookie knew, even though she told me about her and couldn't bring myself to tell her. I wasn't even sure what I was. Finally I was able to look up his eyes when bluest that I have ever seen. Eric was the first one to break the connection that I was feeling…I was awkwardly hoping that I wasn't the only one…that was one side of my brain of corse the other was yelling at me to stop what I was doing…was I crazy…I was letting this vampire know my secret, the one thing that was mine and mine alone.
"Better?" I heard his voice breaking the haze that I seemed to be in. I nodded slowly still noticing that my hand was in his, not caring what anyone else thought or saw at that moment. Hoping even more that Sookie wouldn't find out was even more coming into my conscious now. Retracting my hand a little faster then intended I saw both Eric and Pam smile. "I have to work…wouldn't want to upset the boss" I said as normally as I could getting up slowly off my chair. A hand came back down onto mine pulling me closer to him. "there is no worries about that happening…play nicely with the customers…and come see me after your shift". I nodded my head and he let go of my hand. Slowly turning away, I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry at that point. Walking back over to the bar it seemed like the people this time made a walk way. Back at the bar the bartender just looked at me like nothing had happened…im sure he was used to weird shit happening all the time. Strangely enough I felt more at ease and the patrons seemed to be either scared or had a little more respect for me. Picking back up my tray and putting on that good old southern girl smile and started back though the crowd offering shots.
Every now and then I looked back up to where Eric was sitting across from me. The only thing I could do was smile.
After a few hours I had upgraded up not just shots but now shots of True Blood also. This was getting me a little more attention again but feeling those eyes on my back felt like him standing right next to me and that was the feeling I got when the other vampires in the room came up to me, I swear I had a 'Do Not Touch' sign on my back. It seemed that the crowd was beginning to die down and Eric had already made his way to his back office. I took a seat at the bar waiting for Pam to let me know that he was ready.
