"So here's the plan",
Sookie leaned in closer as she explained to Bill how she wanted him to take her to Fangtasia for the evening, she knew it would piss Eric off but hoped it would also teach him a lesson and maybe stop him from coming to her job and aggravating her.
She didn't bother going into details as to why she heeded him to take her to a vampire bar she was fully capable of going to by herself, in fact the only thing she had told Bill was that Eric had been showing up at her job making it uncomfortable by causing a scene she didn't bother with the who, where or why of the situation.
Sookie had to admit she was a little shocked when Bill didn't ask any questions he just chose to go along with whatever she had planned, in the end she let it go thinking the less he knew the easier it would be to execute her plan. Bill seemed willing enough to go along with what she told he just kept smiling and nodding at her as she finished up by telling him he could pick her up tomorrow night at nine.
"It would be my pleasure Sookie" Bill said looking at her with an eerie hope in his eyes,
Sookie walked into the house tossing her bag on the chair and turned slowly to stare at the door, she froze in place as a knot formed in her stomach. Her conscious told her what she was doing was wrong and she couldn't seem to get that look in Bills eyes out of her head.
Everything in her was telling her that if she went through with this it would end badly but she had to do something to make Eric see just how much he was hurting her and a taste of his own medicine seemed to be the only way. Sookie knew Bill was still in love with her after all he had professed how much he loved her along with Eric the night the witch war ended.
Bill was also the first man she had ever been with and they had been through their fair share of drama in the time that they were together; even though Sookie hated admitting it there was a point in time when she thought she would be with Bill forever. Sookie felt horrible for using him the way she was and part of her wanted to open the door and tell him to forget the whole thing but when she thought of Eric sitting in Merlot's with Yvette throwing herself at him she changed her mind.
Shaking off the negative thoughts Sookie went about her nightly routine fully aware that she might end up regretting her decision in the morning and trying not to think about it. Sookie washed her face and combed through her hair before she jumped into bed eagerly running through her plan one more time before falling asleep.
Morning came quicker than most days she rolled out of bed around eight thirty making her way to the coffee pot in a zombie like state, today was the day she thought stretching as she finished her second cup and headed for the shower. She was glad to be working the mid-day shift today it meant she wouldn't have to be in until eleven and she would be off by nine giving her more than enough time to get ready for her fake date with Bill.
Feeling happy that she had her plans set out for the day Sookie jumped in her car and headed into town eager to look for a dress to wear to Fangtasia, Instead of heading to her usual discount shopping spots she found herself headed straight for the high end stores looking for the perfect outfit to make Eric drool. Sookie had plenty of money left over from what Eric had paid her for giving him sanctuary and thanks to her not having a life since she banished him and Bill she had been looking for a reason to spend it.
Sookie was always saving her money for a rainy day but in order to pull off her plan tonight she would have to look completely edible from head to toe, the young girl in the dress shop was being helpful mostly because she worked on commission but Sookie knew it was partly because the girl had heard about the vampire loving telepath and wanted to see for herself.
When she let her guard down Sookie could see that just like the rest of the town the clerk thought she was trouble 'stupid Vampire whore going to get yourself killed fuckin with them crazy undead things', the girl went on and on in her head while zipping up the strapless skin tight red dress for the second time.
Sookie had to try it on again after all Eric's favorite color was red and the dress showed off just enough skin to maintain sexy not slutty, when the girl looked up and caught her eyes in the mirror Sookie smiled her dumb blonde smile trying to seem harmless but the clerk knew what was happening.
'Oh shit can she hear me? The young girl panicked as Sookie bated her eyes in the mirror finishing it off with a wink and a little snickering as she watched the shocked clerk excused herself.
There was nothing to do but laugh at the young girl's reaction even though Sookie didn't usually taunt people with her so called gift she could only take being nudged mentally all day by the disgusting thoughts of those around her so many times and frankly sometimes it feels good to nudge back.
When it came time to pay Sookie found the shop girl was now cowering behind the counter pretending to do some sort of inventory refusing to make eye contact with her, once she grabbed a few black accessories and a pair of six inch red pumps that she was sure would have her towering over Bill she was ready to pay and head home.
A quick stop in the grocery store to restock the junk food she had finished off two nights before and it was still only around ten in the morning; feeling triumphant with her shopping trip she still had just enough time to shower and shave before throwing on her uniform and heading to work. Sookie pulled into Merlot's parking lot grateful for the sun that kept Eric and Pam dead and away from her for the day and parked in her usual spot before heading inside.
"Eleven on the dot damn I'm good "Sookie said winking at Tara who smiled at her comment "damn SOOK you in a good mood today what the hell got into you?"
"Sheesh Tara can't a girl be in a good mood just because" she circled around her grabbing a tray and a stack of napkins
"No not when that girl is you miss doom and gloom, so what the hell is going on" Tara followed after her
"Oh sorry I forgot only you have the right to change your mood every thirty seconds" Sookie snapped at her good friend walking out into the bar
"Whatever bitch you love me" Tara retaliated as the two of them giggled over their catty comments.
Tara had been Sookie's best friend since they were kids and she knew it wouldn't take long for Tara to see through her change in mood. The two of them had always told each other everything good and bad but If Tara knew what she was up to she would try to talk Sookie out of it and right now she wanted to teach Eric a lesson.
Work went by as usual her preoccupied deep in her own thoughts as she ran from table to table serving beer and various snacks to the bar patrons, Sookie hadn't realized how much time had gone by until she walked up to a table Arlene just seated in her section and things went wrong. Without making eye contact Sookie asked if she could take their order in her usual peppy tone,
"I'll have a true blood O positive and she will have a gin" she paid no mind to the order or the voice that gave it to her it was just another customer like the ones she had been serving all day.
"O.K. coming right up" she carried her order slip to the bar calling it out over the crowed to Tara who was standing against the counter staring at her in disbelief,
"You really are over him huh" Sookie didn't comprehend her comment until she looked up at Tara's face and then it hit her. Oh shit
"It's Eric isn't it" Tara gave her a questioning look
"Sookie you should know you just took his order, you ok girl" she nodded her head slowly "YUP, I'm ok" she blurted out hoping to convince not only Tara but herself, Sookie repeated to herself "I'm ok I am ok" as she tapped her pen on the bar and watched Tara put the drinks on the tray.
She could feel Tara watching her as she walked to their table and put their drinks down in front of the couple, "ewe" couple I just thought of them as a couple sweet Jesus I need air. Sookie ranted In her mind walking as fast as she could with the over whelming fear of passing out, she needed fresh non Eric air and unfortunately the bar was filled with his smell.
Her legs felt weak as she slumped down next to the dumpster to pissed think strait and hoping the this night would end quickly.
Sookie finally stood from her huddled position dusting herself off, she was ready to head back inside determined he wouldn't run her off again not tonight. Tonight Eric would be the one feeling uncomfortable and by the time she was done with him one of two things would happen either he would apologize and see the pain he has been causing her or he would snap never wanting anything to do with her again giving her the chance to finally get over him.
By the end of the night Sookie was relieved her shift had ended she managed to keep her temper under control even after Eric pulled that piece of trash onto his lap allowing her to stroke his neck with her tongue. She couldn't help but let out a small giggle realizing the whole thing was a show being put on just for her she knew how Eric was when he wanted you and he damn sure didn't want her.
He had stooped so low just to prove his point but she knew Eric was not big on public affections especially around humans, he viewed human actions in a vampire as a weakness which was part of the reason he and Bill had never gotten along.
When she reached the rear door Sookie realized she had a huge smile spread across her face and she couldn't wait to get home, it was date night after all and she had the outfit the shoes and the body to accomplish her goal tonight. While putting the key in the car door she could her Yvette's giggles over her shoulder and she felt herself cringe, sure he was close by she turned around to see him sitting on the hood of his car while Yvette stood between his legs with her arms wrapped around his waist.
It was so out of the ordinary to see him with her this way Eric has always been attracted to strong women nothing like the needy thing that clung to him in the middle of a dark parking lot.
"What's the rush, hot date?" he chuckled as she spoke
Sookie could feel her stomach tighten and she wanted to cuss him up and down the parking lot but she knew it would serve no purpose she had a plan and she intended to stick to it.
"As a matter of fact I do" Sookie would have felt triumphant at that moment if Eric didn't look like his face was about to melt off, he noticed her looking at him and his expression quickly changed into something more confidant. Eric wound his arms around Yvette's waste as she sat staring up at him with a blank look on her face Sookie wasn't sure is the girl was glammoured but one thing she knew was she had him right where she wanted him.
Their eyes stayed locked on each other as he bent down placing tiny kisses along the bimbo's neck trying his best to get a reaction out of her, the truth was he was pushing her to the edge and the sight of the two of the was too much. She knew she needed to get out of there before she did something that would ruin her plan so Sookie smiled her sweetest smile at the two of them tossing her hair and waving as she drove off.
"Well goodnight you two I have to go wouldn't want to keep Bill waiting" she pressed the gas quickly pulling away and as she looked in her rearview mirror she watched as Eric shoved Yvette to the ground discarding her like the piece of trash; Sookie felt triumphant as he launched himself into the air and disappeared.
