Chapter 2
“Holy fuck, Sook! That man is sex on legs, and he asked you out?”
She blushed under Lafayette’s stare. “Is that really so hard to believe?”
“It would be if you actually said yes,” Amelia chimed in. “You haven’t dated anyone since douche bag Bill screwed you over.”
Sookie rolled her eyes. “Thanks for the reminder, but that was two years ago. I think it was about time I moved on. This Eric guy seems nice and all, but I don’t know if I can trust him. Like you said, he’s sex on legs. He seems like he’s more for playing the field, and that’s just not my style.”
Amelia nodded. “Especially with the hot bitch he had with him. Crazy as she may be, I refuse to believe he’s not hitting that.” Her eyes widened, giving the blonde an apologetic expression. “Sorry, Sook, I didn’t mean anything by it. We’re just looking out for you; it took you forever to finally get over Bill. You deserve a good man.”
Lafayette silently agreed.
“Thanks for the concern, but I can take care of myself.” She left the cafeteria then, not looking back once.

Sookie didn’t know why she was here. She tended to avoid places like this, but was curious enough to check it out. It was definitely not like the bars she was used to. There were half naked women and men everywhere, poles were attached to the bar as if it was partly a strip club. All Sookie knew was that she felt very uncomfortable there. It had been almost three weeks since she talked with Eric at the hospital, and she hadn’t heard anything from him since, not that she really expected to. He told her to call, not the other way around.
“Well, if it isn’t my pretty little nurse.”
She turned around at the voice to see Pam standing there, looking her up and down. Sookie suddenly felt very naked under her gaze.
“I suppose you’re not here to check up on me. Have to admit, never did I think a sweet girl like you would be caught dead in this place, but that probably has something to do with the dick in charge,” Pam finished teasingly.
Sookie was at a loss for words, speaking up after what felt like forever. “I just wanted to see what all the hype was about. I’ve heard a lot about this place, but I’m glad to see that your ankle is doing better.”
Pam waved a dismissive hand in the air. “As good as new, those painkillers did wonders, but I know you’re here for Eric. Follow me,” she said with a grin, walking further into the bar.
Sookie took a deep breath, and then did as she instructed. This was not a woman she wanted on her bad side.
Pam led Sookie to a back office, motioning for her to go in, and then took off in the opposite direction.
Her parents died when she was real young, but her grandmother raised her right, and there was no way she could walk into a room without knocking first, so she did just that.
“Enter,” a voice called from inside.
Inhaling another breath of air, she turned the knob and pushed the door open, noticing that Eric was perched behind a large desk, typing away on his computer. Reading glasses were resting on his face, which she found to be incredibly sexy. His hair was down this time, flowing around his shoulders like a beautiful, golden mane. He was wearing a black tank top, showing off his muscular arms. Her mouth was unexpectedly very dry.
“Since when do you knock, Pam?” Eric said, glancing up to see that it wasn’t the blonde he expected. “Sookie? This is quite a surprise. Please, come in.”
She did as he said, closing the door behind her and taking a seat in the only available chair.
“To what do I owe this pleasure?” he wondered, removing his spectacles.
Sookie pouted at the loss, but got right to the point before she lost her nerve. “I’m sorry to just show up like this. I would have called, but I guess I’m more about doing things in person. If you were still up for that date, I would love to go out with you.”
Eric flashed her a charming smile. “Oh, I’m definitely up for it. How does this Saturday sound?”
Sookie nodded, giving him a nervous look. “I just need to know one thing first. You and Pam, are you two together by any chance? Because if you are, I’m not into that, just letting you know now.”
He laughed, shaking his head. “I assure you, we are not together, nor have we ever been. She is just a business associate. We would most likely end up killing each other if that were to happen, and I’m not exactly her type.”
Sookie was confused, but didn’t have to wait long for a clarification.
“Pam is only interested in women; I have nothing to offer her.”
She blushed at her mistake, now it made more sense. It looked like Pam wanted to eat her out there, and that thought made her blush even more. “I’m sorry, my friends at the hospital indicated that something might be going on between you two. I just wanted to know what I was getting myself into. I don’t trust easily, at least not anymore,” Sookie explained, surprised that she revealed that much, but there was no going back now.
Eric could sense that from their first meeting, and he had a feeling it had something to do with a former man in her life. Well, he would just have to rectify that. He was willing to do whatever he could to gain this woman’s trust. Eric couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but he knew there was something special about Sookie Stackhouse, and was very determined to find out everything he could about her.

The noise engulfed Sookie when she headed back to the front of the bar, already missing Eric’s quiet office. If she didn’t know any better, she would think it was sound proof or something.
“Hit me with another one, Quinn!” Pam yelled over the loud music, as the bartender gave her a shot of Tequila, which she immediately chugged down.
Sookie shook her head in amusement, crossing her arms. “Does Eric usually let you drink on the job?”
Pam rolled her eyes, throwing back another shot. “We’re partners, he’s not my boss. I can do whatever the fuck I please. Besides, Eric knows how I sometimes need liquid courage to get through this crowd. It’s a busy night.” She slammed the shot glass down, wiping her mouth before turning to Sookie, a grin firmly in place. “It’s a good thing you finally showed up, little nurse. Eric has been a whiny bitch ever since we left that hospital, wondering if you would call, or if he should fake an injury just so he would have an excuse to see you again. How you managed to get him pussy whipped so fast is beyond me, he was like a fucking teenage girl. It made me want to vomit, but you’re here now. I just hope you can handle him.”
Sookie knew the other woman was trying to intimidate her, but she wasn’t about to back down from a challenge. “Oh, I think I can handle him just fine.”
Pam graced her with a chilling smile. “I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of you, then.”
Sookie figured that was the best approval she was going to get. And with her head held high, she left the bar; taking in a deep breath once the fresh air hit her. A smile graced her features. She had a date to prepare for.
