All Hell Breaks Loose

Chapter 49: Aeroplane

"I think I'll go with the Dutch Rose," Sookie said as she relaxed on the couch with the Miller Lite pillow behind her head and the tile catalog book on her lap. She had Sunday off and after church she decided to make the order for the tiles now that the walls, foundation and back porch had been completed. The wires and pipes were also restored.

"Excellent choice," the man from the tile company said. "We will have someone on Tuesday morning."

"Tuesday," Sookie repeated. She was working on Tuesday but she would be closing that night. She would be there to meet with them when they come." I'll be there."

"Excellent and how will you be paying?"

"Check. I'll have it for you on Tuesday."

"Sounds perfect Miss Stackhouse," the man said. "We will be there before ten."

"Thank you. Have a great day." As soon as she hung up she decided to make another lists. She would make a general Christmas list, baking list and a list of people she planned on buying gifts for.

The door opened and Jason walked through. He was carrying plastic bags with groceries in them.

"Did you get everything?" Sookie asked. Sometimes she had to make a list for her brother when Jason wanted to go shopping and even then sometimes Jason would still forget an item.

"Got everything," Jason said as he walked past her and set the bags on the table. "Tru Blood, bread, carrots, mac and cheese, a bottle of iron supplements and one of those chocolate oranges."

"Thank you," Sookie said. She loved getting those special chocolate treats around this time of year. She also enjoyed sipping egg nog, and stirring hot mugs of cocoa with candy canes.

"Got the folk from the tiles place set up?" Jason asked he put the food and Tru Blood in the refrigerator.

"All set out to come out on Tuesday," Sookie answered. "I'll be looking through the catalog for the cabinets. I do like the ones I originally had but I still want to look and see if there might be something I would like better."

"That's good," Jason said as he poured himself a glass of orange juice. "I think I'll put the lights up." He opened the bottle of supplements. "Do you need one?"

"I haven't had a vampire feed from me in a while and I've been eating my fair share of beef and dark green veggies." She paused when she realized what she had just said. "Did you let Jessica feed off of you recently?"

"No," he popped in the vitamin and drank some of the juice. His thoughts were growing louder.

"Did you let Steve feed from you?"

"Yeah." Don't tell her everything. I hope she doesn't find out about me and Steve.

"What about you and Steve?"

"I let him feed from me," Jason answered. Damn it sis, don't read from me. I aint telling you what happened to me.

"So something did happen. Did he give you more of his blood to drink?"

"No."

"Did you catch him masturbating?"

"Hell no."

"Did he catch you masturbating?"

"No." oh Jesus she is getting close.

"Did you two actually have sex?"

Oh Shit!

"Jason," Sookie gasped. She could believe her brother would cheat on Jessica with another vampire if that vampire was female but a man? "You had sex with Steve Newlin?"

"You aren't going to tell anyone?"

"No, but you should tell Jessica. I can't believe you slept with a man."

"I couldn't stop thinking about him. I kept dreaming of him and I couldn't get off unless I thought of him and when I'm jerking off in-"

"Stop," Sookie said as she held up her hands. "I can't know about your special Jason private time."

"You aint grossed out by this?"

"Just you talking about what you do in the shower." She shook her head. "Jason, you are my brother and I love you and I don't care who you sleep with."

"Not true."

"I don't care if you sleep with women or men, or vampires, or a shifter, or a fairy or anyone if they aren't jerks or evil. I do care about Jessica and her feelings and you need to come clean with her."

"Come clean," Jason chuckled. "We did take a bath together."

"I'm serious."

"I'll tell her."

"When she wakes up."

"When we are alone," Jason said. "They are both down their sleeping."

"When you both are alone." She needed to get out. "I'm going to see Arlene."

Arlene was able to talk for an hour before she had to dash off for work. She offered Sookie a cup of Irish Coffe while she visited.

"I hope it's good," Arlene said after she poured both cups. "I'm disappointing my Irish Grandaddy on my mother's side if it don't taste just fine."

Sookie took a sip. It was rich and warm and full of a flavor. "It's delicious."

"Oh good," Arlen said as she sat down. "I don't want to tell anyone but I've been drinking a lot more with the whole Patrick thing and now that I know he's a zombie I just want to knock back even more."

"I saw you and Holly talking to each at work yesterday," Sookie said after taking another sip of coffee. She had to be a bit wary since the whiskey flavor was a bit strong. "I know she explained to you about what real zombies were like."

"I know and I told Terry about it."

"How did he take it?"

"Wasn't too happy," Arlene said and slurped more of her cup. "He didn't want to believe me at first, but Sam backed me up and Holly backed me up and Andy told him and I quote 'There is everything running around except for Oompa Loompa's and course we'd run into zombies sooner or later and where is my damn beer?'"

"Sounds like him," Sookie said. "Did that convince him?"

"It did and now he is determined to save his friends. Not just Patrick. Those guys that came in with him are also friends with Terry."

"Did Holly tell you about the powder?"

"Don't know how to get Patrick and keep him secluded." She made a fist. "But I do know what I'm going to do when I come across that Rumba."

"Mambo," Sookie corrected.

"Whatever. I just know I'm going kick that witch's ass so hard." She took another sip. "Do you want to do another cookie swap this year?"

"Sure," Sookie said. She loved Arlene's lemon bars and would be happy to make a batch of gingerbread cookies for her.

"Crap," Arlene said as she checked her watch. "Sorry, Sookie. I gotta get to work." She downed her cup. "Your working Tuesday?"

"I am," Sookie answered. "Closing what about you?"

"I'll also be closing. We can talk about the cookies later."

"Bye Arlene," Sookie said as she grabbed her purse. She wasn't sure where she was going now but she wasn't in the mood to return home.

Jason took a bite out of the turkey sandwich he had assembled. He had toasted the bread, place some lettuce on it, some of the turkey meat, some stuffing and then smothered it in gravy.

"What the hell?" Jessica asked. She was sitting at the computer reading over the various threads in the various forums at the Deserve A Choice website.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked before he took a bite. He knew he had to tell her the truth. He would have told her last night if she hadn't jumped his bones in the manner she had. He even joked about needing an ice pack to cool down his groin after.

"I clicked on the next page of this thread and everything turned black," Jessica explained. "And now I get this website is unavailable crap."

"Maybe it's suffering from one of those glitches," Jason suggested.

"Maybe."

Jason ate a few more bites of his sandwich before he set it down and walked over to her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.

"I guess I'm in the mood." Jessica said as she stood up. "Maybe this will be back up when we are done."

"I wasn't suggesting sex," Jason said. "If you want to but I need to get something off my chest first."

"Sure."

"You see I have this huge confession to make. I've been having these dreams and I woke up with a hard on and I have trouble getting off and I kept thinking about this other vampire and I-" He paused to take a long sip from his beer. "I slept with Steve."

"You two had sex is what you are saying?" Jessica asked in a surprised tone.

"I'm sorry Jess."

"You don't have to be." She stroked his chin. "We haven't said we would be exclusive."

"You slept with anyone else?"

"No, because I can't find anyone I like." That actually stung even if she didn't mean it.

"Oh."

"Do you like having sex with him?"

"Yeah but I won't do it again." No matter how much he wanted to have sex with Steve he was going to go behind her back.

"You can sleep with anyone you want to and if you want to sleep with him again you can, although please let me know so I can watch."

"You want to watch?" Jason asked.

"I wouldn't mine participating either."

Jason had to take another long pull from his beer after hearing that. "Sure. I like the idea of three ways."

"So we should get together and just have a ménage a trois." She smiled and turned around to face the screen and refreshed it. "Oh no."

"What happened?" Jason asked as he picked up his sandwich.

"It got hacked."

Jason peered over her shoulder and nearly dropped his sandwich. Everything about the site was different. Instead of the usual landing page there was a picture of Russell Edgington under the words that spelled out The King of All Vampires.
