There are some Swedish sentence's in this chapter, but the translations will be located at the bottom of the story in order of who said what. :)
Enjoy this chapter it's in Eric's POV. :D
Read and review please
She looked stunning, so graceful as she leapt and spun. I could tell from the moment she hit the first step and the last this was her passion her soul purpose for living. Her power didn't seem to fade away as the seconds ticked by if anything she grew stronger landing the Fouetté en tournant perfectly. I don't think to this day I've ever seen any dancer execute it to that level of perfection with the way she went into and exited it.
When Godric had come by to tell me there was a pretty blonde in the back preparing herself to sing I had rolled my eyes – of course there were many girls who believed they could sing and carry every tune under the sun so I hadn't even bothered to look up. Scouting around for talent these days was difficult in every aspect of the word. Just another wannabe, another girl desperate for fame and money.
Pamela and Godric had gotten together a little over a year ago – funny story actually, Godric and I had met back in Sweden when I decided to holiday over there with Yvetta my now ex wife. Godric and I had stayed in touch I felt like I had known this man for years we clicked and then he came to visit me here in Shreveport, of course I had introduced him to my sister Pamela and now a year later they were engaged. From the moment he laid his eyes on here he moved here permanently, and bought the bar in Shreveport.
He's a good guy definitely good enough for my baby sister, of course I objected in the beginning – then again who wouldn't have? He was fucking my sister and I had almost walked in on them and almost ripped his head from his body when he did the unthinkable blurting out he loved her and it wasn't a fling. Who was I to stand in the way of true love? I remember hearing her voice, I thought angels had descended from heaven, and when I looked up I saw her she was a true vision of beauty – oj herre gud, she was beautiful. I knew then I had to have her, I had to book her and I had to get her into my bed.
"That was beautiful Sookie" I grinned as I ceased my clapping,
"Eric…" she replied simply confused, I couldn't help but let a chuckle leave my lips as her students left one by one, I saw a few lingering eyes but I kept my attention fully focused on her. She hadn't moved an inch,
"wh-what are you doing here? Ho-how did you find me?" she exhaled unsteadily still breathless from her routine
"I asked around last night after you left of course you didn't call me I'm quite…" I searched for the right word, "displeased about that, I would have thought you'd have given me a call or a text" letting my signature smile appear on my face I saw her gulp before she spun around grabbing her bag and CD from the CD player,
"did Amelia tell you where I'd be?" she sounded pissed, I could practically see the steam escaping from her ears and nose.
"no…Lafayette" I added quite simply leaning against the wall with my arms crossed over my chest, "although none of them seemed to mind, Amelia was it? The brunette wanted to give me your number, Tara was set on giving me your home address, Jason wasn't too bothered he was busy trying to go home with another girl there…however Sam didn't seem too happy but then again he probably cares for y-"
"Look her Eric" she sneered my name out to my disapproval – I grimaced before regaining my composure as she continued heatedly, "I don't know who you are or what you want but whatever it is you can just drop it. I'm engaged and I don't want to ruin what I have now if you'd please leave I'd appreciate it."
"Fiesty-I like it" I let the smirk dance upon my face and to my amusement she actually stomped her foot onto the floor her hands balling up into tiny little fists besides her.
"ugh just leave" she pointed to the door with her index finger as I shook my head,
"ain't happening sweetheart look I'm here because I'm going to offer you a great deal, I can get you far with both your dancing and singing you're talented and I'm just the guy to get you where you wanna be" she seemed to relax and raised her eyebrow,
"continue" so I did,
"I own a record company slash dance studio one of the best in America, and with your talent I'd be more than happy to be underneath you." I let my crooked smile appear again at my innuendo which she had caught because her tanned cheeks were now a deep shade of pink.
"Eric I've told you I'm engage-" she began but as she saw me take a step towards her she stopped,
"yeah yeah I know" I waved my hand around nonchalantly, "seems like an asshole to me though" I rolled my eyes, because he did last night his attitude was complete and utter shit, I'd have knocked him down onto the floor if Sookie hadn't have been standing in front of him,
"you don't even know him!" she shot back and I nodded but shrugged,
"nor would I ever want to, guys like him are trouble…"
"and you aren't?" she quipped sarcastically, earning me to smile.
"I am Sookie, however my kind of trouble is the good kind, the kind you'd come running back for" she huffed before turning to walk away into what I assumed was her office.
"wait here" she commanded I complied and stood still taking out my blackberry once I heard a ping. I rolled my eyes as I saw the screen name.

"I have to get going now" I looked up from my mobile to see her dressed out in all white – it looked so beautiful against her tan skin, her hair rich like honey was out and loose, against her golden skin, the white setting off it beautifully bringing out the blue in her eyes.
"where you going? I'll join you" she sighed rolling her eyes,
"out to eat dinner - alone." She added strained,
"let me keep you company Miss Stackhouse I'll be on my best behaviour" I was being serious for once, I didn't want to lose such a good talent not to mention she was pretty hot.
"fine…but one move outta line and that's it I'm gone Eric" I nodded and bowed in a playful manner, while Sookie smiled very briefly before she forced her lips to stay straight. Just as we were leaving my phone rang and I answered,
"Yes Godric?" I answered as we walked out in silence,
"var är min favorit bror?" he replied in Swedish as I chuckled, he would only ever talk to me in Swedish if he were around those who wouldn't understand and it was only for our ears to hear, Sookie and I had reached the bottom of the stairs and I smiled apologetically as she mouthed
'it's not a problem'
"Jag är med den där tjejen från igår den vackra blondinen som sjöng" I let my eyes wander over to Sookie who was now leaning against her car and as I assumed texting as her fingers moved from one key to the next.
"oh ja hon var vacker var inte hon? vara en snäll pojke Eric och inte hamna i trubbel" I heard Godric heartily chuckle on the other side of the phone.
"Om jag inte får problem jag skulle inte Eric nu skulle jag? Jag ringer tillbaka när jag lämnar henne var det något viktigt du ville säga mig?" my eyes had moved to Sookie whose face had fallen – something had happened to make her upset it was written all over her face. I wanted to go over and pull her into my arms, take away all the pain she was in and kiss her-
Kiss her? What are you a pussy Eric? After Yvetta I'd be a prick to look for another relationship.
"ERIC lyssnar du till mig?"
"yeah sorry say that again" I shook my head and managed to pry my eyes away from Sookie attempting to hear what Godric had said,
"Yvetta heter Pamela, hon vill se dig och Pamela trodde det skulle vara bäst för mig att berätta" I could hear the hesitation in his voice how quieter he seemed, I scoffed and rolled my eyes my fist clenching by my side.
"YOU TELL THAT BITCH TO LEAVE. ME. ALONE. Tell Pamela to tell her, I want nothing to do with her" I closed my eyes momentarily and opened them to see Sookie staring at me in shock and confusion.
"vad du vill broder, ring mig senare" Godric responded simply, he most likely knew the reaction and what I'd say however if Pamela had told him to tell me he did - he was pretty much whipped in that sense. I placed the phone back into my jeans pocket and took a few seconds to collect myself as I unravelled my fist looking down to see my skin had been pierced from my fingernails and blood trickled down my white skin dripping onto the floor.
"Oh Eric!" I saw her run over her eyes were swimming in tears, I furrowed my eyebrows wondering why she was crying but decided against asking.
"I'm fine it's okay really Sookie" but as I argued she was already searching through her bag as she took out a napkin. I watched her carefully studying each small movement she made, the way her breasts rose with each lungful of air, the small strands of blonde hair which were blowing in the warm breeze, the single tear which had fallen down her cheek, his hand twitched away as she took a hold of it,
"Eric…let me wipe it" she whispered reaching for my hand again and this time I didn't move it away not an inch. I felt the warmth radiating from her skin - my own skin was colder than most people, not by much but enough for me to realize if not them. I could see her patting away and pressing down onto the cuts. Sookie's hand looked so small, so soft in mine. I smiled at it and at that moment she had decided to gaze up at me; her face was serene, beautiful just like an angel. She went to move her hand from mine but my hand had a different idea because it closed around hers not too hard but enough so she wasn't able to pull free. I looked down for a split second her hand engulfed by mine.
"Eric…" she breathed out my name and my eyes immediately found hers, she looked up at me and I closed the space between us, my thumb pressing onto hers as I let my eyes wander over her face landing onto those plump red lips which looked as soft as silk. And that's when I did something stupid…I leant down and kept her lips in my sight.
I was going to kiss Sookie.
