I head back downstairs and straight for the kitchen. I am in heaven as I breathe in the smell of pizza, wings, and cheesy bread. I grab a plate and get 4 pieces of mushroom, black olive and anchovy pizza, a handle full of wings and 3 slices of cheesy bread. I head into the living room and put on my all-time favorite movie The Last of the Mohicans and plop down and dig in.

Within 30 minutes I ate everything on my plate, I laid on the couch and the next thing I know I was asleep. The next thing I know, it feels like I'm being carried and my body is against something hard and cool. I barley open my eyes and I see Eric carrying me up to my bed.

He laid me down and I asked him, what time it was. He brushed hair away from my eyes and said, "It's just after 3 in the morning."

Eric pulled the covers over my body and was getting ready to walk off. I grabbed his arm and said, "You're not leaving are you?"

Eric smiled and said, "I'm just going to go put the food up and I'm going to lay with you till I have to go to ground. Close your eyes and I'll be back before you fall asleep."

I close my eyes and quicker than I realize Eric's sliding in bed with me in nothing but his boxers. I roll over and cuddle into his chest. He kissed my forehead and said, "So what exactly happened between you and the shifter tonight."

I looked at Eric and said, "Merlotte decided to get into my personal business when he saw the fang marks on my neck. He automatically assumed I was back with Compton. I'm seriously thinking about quitting Merlotte's. This isn't the first time Sam has put his nose where it don't belong."

Eric immediately said, "Well I can always hire you at Fangtasia as a waitress. I know you're not a big fan of driving to Shreveport but the tips are better and you get a paycheck every week."

I laid my head back on Eric's chest and tried to weigh the good and things about working at Fangtasia. To be totally honest the money was my only appeal to working for Eric. The bad would be having to deal with Pam and seeing the fangbangers beg Eric to feed from them.

I think Eric could sense I wasn't a big fan of being a waitress at his bar. He then said, "Well how about I hire you as my assistant. You would look good in a short skirt and a Fangtasia shirt."

I thought about that for a minute then said, "What exactly would I be doing as your assistant?"

Eric smiled and said, "You'd be handling the managing of the bar. Like inventory and the human employees. If they have a problem they can come to you but then you come to me. You could sit by me when I have to sit and be put on display."

I was seriously considering taking Eric's offer. I mean I can't stand working at Merlotte's anymore. Sam and Arlene are getting on my last nerve. I know for sure I'd be making more money at Fangtasia. Oh my lord I can't believe I am about to say this.

I open my mouth and utter "Alright Eric, I'll work for you. I want it made clear that I am not on the menu. Also I'll mirror Pam when she does the inventory and ordering till I get the hang of it."

I look at him and he is grinning from ear to ear and he looks adorable. Eric then picks up his phone up off the end table and dials a number and put it on speaker then Pam picks up and said, "What do you want."

Eric then said, "You need to start the paperwork for Sookie to start at Fangtasia as my assistant tomorrow tonight. Make sure she makes more than she was making at Merlotte's."

I really think Pam dropped the phone on the other end and I giggled. I knew Pam wasn't going to be exactly happy about my working at Fangtasia but to hell with Pam. Pam then said, "Eric you really think that's a good idea? We need waitresses not her as your personal assistant.

I scoffed and said, "Thanks a lot Pam, fuck you I can do more than just waitress."

Eric knew that what Pam said pissed me off so he immedialty said something to her in Swedish then said, " There are many times I want your opinion but now is not one of them times. Get the paperwork done and pushed through. She'll be starting work tomorrow night" and he hung up on her.

I really should be used to Pam by now; I know she has no filter of what to say and what not to say. Sometimes she can be a total bitch but I thought we were at least civil to each other.

Eric put the phone back on the end table then wrapped his arms around me.I cuddled into his chest more and closed my eyes then drifted off to sleep.

I roll over and realize that Eric is gone and it's daytime. I barley open my eyes, look at the clock and it said 12:00pm. All of a sudden there was knocking on the front door. I sit up still half asleep and stretch. I pull the covers off, get out of bed and head downstairs. When I get to the bottom step, I can see a woman about my age with bags in her hands. This has me curious so I walk over open the door and the woman smiles and says, "Howdy, my name is Dawn. I work for Eric at Fangtasia."

I laugh and think, leave it to Eric to hire infants to work in his bar. I come out of my thought, smile and said, "I'm Sookie, what can I do for you?"

Dawn laughs then said, "Eric wanted me to bring your uniform. He also figured you'd be craving coffee so I brought you a cup and some donuts."

Dawn handed me the two bags and the plastic cup and was just getting ready to leave when she turned back around and said, " Oh yeah, Pam said, Be at Fangtasia at 6, Don't be fucking late was her exact words." Dawn turned around and walked off the porch. I shut the front door and headed to the kitchen. I set the bag on the table and took a long sip of my coffee.

To be honest I was a little afraid to see the outfit Eric picked out for me. I know what the waitresses wear and that's barley anything. I set my cup down and open the bag and was pleasantly shocked. I pulled out the Black skirt, it was knee length and pretty cute. I pulled out the shirt; it was silk spaghetti strap shirt. It came down to my belly button and it was blood red

I laughed but was happy with it. If my stomach was the only part of my body I would be showing off I could live with that. I pulled out what looked like a vest and it was black. I turn it over and it has the Fangtasia logo on the back.

The Shoes were boots and I had to say I loved them. They were black, leather and came up to my knees and they laced up. The last thing was a fedora and it was black and grey striped. I was impressed; I picked up the outfit and put it back in the bag. I grabbed my coffee, bag on donuts and the phone. I headed out to the porch swing and sat down. I took another long swig of my coffee and gathered my nerve.

I had to call Merlotte's and quit. It wasn't that I didn't want to, it was having to talk to Sam. He was the only one who gave Crazy Sookie a chance. Here goes nothing, I pick up the phone and dial Merlotte's. Sam picks up on the second ring and says, "Merlotte's Bar and Grill."

I take a deep breath and said, "Sam its Sookie, Need to talk to you for a second."

Sam then said, "Sook, I was hoping you were going to call. Look I'm sorry about last night. I know I crossed a line; I'm your boss and your friend. What do you need to talk to me about?"

I took another deep breathe and said, "Sam, it's not the first time you've gotten into my personal life. You crossed a line last night, you better be glad you didn't get slapped. Anyway I'm calling to tell you I'm quitting."

Sam started mumbling something incoherent then said, "If this is about last night, I said I was sorry, I need to butt out of your personal life, got it."

Now I was starting to feel guilty about quitting. I know Sam didn't mean any harm but I can't keep having him putting his two cents in my personal life. Yes he hired me knowing about me being able to hear people's thoughts. I've worked for him for 5 years and for the most part it's been the best job I've had but it's time for a change.

I sigh then said, "Look Sam, You don't know how much I appreciate you giving me a job. Especially knowing that I can read people's minds but it's time for a change."
