Chapter 3
“I hope you like meatloaf, it’s Emma’s favorite and I already promised her.”
She smiled. “That’s perfect.” Not only was this man gorgeous, but he was a great father as well. That was a major turn on for Sookie. She always hoped to have kids one day, but it wasn’t what Bill wanted. Another sign that the two of them never would have worked out, it was a good thing she realized that when she did. Sookie just wished it didn’t take him cheating on her to notice. When Eric left back to the kitchen, she caught both girls staring at her. “Is there something on my face?”
“Where are you from? You talk funny,” Olivia commented.
Sookie wasn’t offended; she tended to get that a lot. “Louisiana, born and raised.”
The girl seemed to accept that answer. “Did you and my dad have a good time today? He couldn’t stop talking about you.”
That took Sookie off guard, not sure how to respond. “Oh, yes, we had lots of fun. Maybe you two can join us next time.”
Emma’s eyes lit up. “Really? The bad lady never let us do anything fun.”
“What bad lady?” Sookie asked.
Olivia rolled her eyes. “She means Patricia, his last girlfriend. They were only together for about a month, but she was horrible. I still don’t know how it happened, but she got green paint in her hair one day. We never saw her again, my dad needs someone decent in his life and she just didn’t make the cut.”
Sookie didn’t know what to think about this new information, but judging by the devious look in Olivia’s eyes, she knew exactly how that woman ended up with paint in her hair. This girl seemed so much older than her twelve years, and Sookie would make sure to watch her back.
“All right, dinner is served,” Eric said, bringing out a plate of meatloaf, along with some potatoes, and baked beans. “What are you ladies talking about?”
Olivia shrugged. “Sookie was just telling us how much fun she had with you today.”
Eric beamed at that, glancing at Sookie across from the table. “I had fun as well. Now, eat up, it’s a school night and you girls still have some homework to finish.”

They sat on the couch once the kids hurried off to bed, neither sure how to start a conversation.
“Your daughters are lovely,” Sookie said to break the ice.
He smiled. “I like to think so. It’s been hard raising them on my own. My sister helps out when she can, but let’s face it; the woman doesn’t have one maternal bone in her body. I’m afraid to leave them in her care for too long. She keeps suggesting I get a nanny, but I just don’t feel right about it. I especially could use some guidance with Olivia. She’s been acting out some in school, and I can’t say I much care for Pam’s influence. My daughter idolizes her aunt and wants to be just like her, but that worries the hell out of me. I love my sister, but she’s a bit much to handle. I can’t imagine my little girl growing up to be like her. I know that makes me sound awful, but if you met Pam, you would understand.”
She nodded. “I can see where you’re coming from. My brother, Jason, he got his girlfriend of only two months pregnant recently. And trust me when I say, he is the last person that should be a father. I love him, but for all of his life he’s been nothing but a man slut. It sounds bad for me to say, but I don’t know how else to put it. We were practically raised by our grandmother, our parents having died when we were young, but even with her influence; he has been nothing but trouble. She just passed away last year, but he’s gotten worse since then. It’s like nothing she taught us even got through to him. He’s trying to do the right thing now by being there for Crystal and the baby, but I don’t know if it’s enough. She’s not his type and I know he doesn’t love her, but I guess I should just be glad that he’s finally sticking with one person.”
“You know, him and Pam sound a lot alike. If she wasn’t interested in women, they’d be perfect for each other.”
Sookie laughed, some of the tension breaking.
“You have a beautiful smile,” Eric said without thinking, blushing under her gaze. It had been years since he was around a woman that he really felt comfortable with, and this one didn’t even live in his city. As much as he was beginning to like her, there was no way this could end well.

“God, Ames, this guy is amazing. I’ve known him less than a week, but it feels like so much longer.”
“Have you banged him yet?” Amelia wondered.
Sookie accidentally dropped her phone, picking it back up and sending her friend a glare, even though she couldn’t see it. “Of course I haven’t, we hardly know each other. That’s not what I’m here for, and I told you he has kids. I’m not about to bang their father when I’m only here for a short while, these girls are vulnerable and I can tell they’ve been hurt before. I have a feeling they’ve been trying to get us together and I would hate to let them down, but the bottom line is that I’m only here for eight more days. There would be no point starting anything, no matter how much I might want to. I’ve only just recently broken up with Bill, it wouldn’t be right to start something with another man so soon.”
Amelia scoffed. “You can’t use that as an excuse, it’s not like Bill took his precious time. He’s not even an issue right now, so get his loser self out of your head. This trip is about you, Sook, what do you want? You’re young, I say you go out there and have yourself a good time. Talk with Eric about it; maybe he’s not even looking for anything serious. I think what you need right now is to get laid, damn the consequences.”
“Yeah, that would be your answer for everything. I have to go; he’s picking me up in a bit. We’re going to an art museum, there’s a new gallery opening and I’m really looking forward to it.”
“Snooze fest,” Amelia responded with a yawn. “Fine, we’ll talk more about this later.”
She clicked the phone shut, wondering if there was any truth to her friend’s words. Sookie knew that she wanted Eric, and it was obvious he was attracted to her, but was it really worth the risk? Too many people could get hurt in the process, this wasn’t just about them.
A knock on the door ripped her from her thoughts, going over to open it, her jaw nearly dropping at the sight of Eric standing there in a suit. He was so sexy, and Sookie had to admit that he looked incredibly fuckable.
Eric had the same expression of desire on his face. She went with a simple red dress that hugged her curves perfectly, her golden hair flowing down her face in waves. His mouth was starting to water. “Did you really have your heart set on this gallery opening?”
She shook her head, licking her lips. “I can see it another time,” Sookie claimed, grabbing him by the tie and planting a passionate kiss on his mouth as she pulled him into her room, slamming the door behind them.
