Chapter 6
“So, what do you say about another movie night? I’ll even watch a chick flick.”
Sookie was startled by Eric’s sudden appearance at her house; he never usually made a habit to come over. It was always her who visited him. “Raincheck? I actually have a date tonight.”
He tried to hide his disappointment; of course she would have a date. A woman like Sookie would hardly stay single for long. “Oh, yeah, that’s fine. We can do it another time.”
For some reason, she felt the need to clarify her plans. “Amelia set it up, she thinks I need to get back out there, but I doubt it’ll really lead to anything.” Sookie bit her bottom lip, taking a deep breath before continuing. “I know it’s not my business, but you should probably do the same. You’ve been in town for months now and no one really knows you, it couldn’t hurt to meet new people. We don’t bite here. Most of us, anyway.”
Eric nodded, running his fingers through his hair. “I’ll consider it, but even if it doesn’t lead to anything, I hope you have a good time.”
Sookie watched him head back over to his house with a frown, wondering if she would come to regret her decision.

Alcide Herveaux seemed like a decent guy, and Amelia was not wrong when she said he was good looking. He was tall, very muscular, with long, wavy, black hair. In another life, he could have been just the type of man she’d have gone for. He was fascinating and had such wonderful stories that anyone would have loved to listen to, but all Sookie could think about was Eric. Alcide himself just recently broke up with his fiancée, a woman he was with for six years. She could tell there were still some lingering feelings involved and sensed that he didn’t want to be on this date as much as she didn’t, which was confirmed when the two finally got a minute alone.
“I’m sorry if I’m talking too much. I only agreed to this because Tray wouldn’t get off my case about it, but I’m nowhere near ready to date yet. You’re a very nice person and if the situation was different…”
Sookie raised a hand to cut him off, gracing him with a warm smile. “Believe me, I completely understand. I think our friends were trying to play matchmaker. They assume since their relationship is perfect, we should be just as happy, but it’s not that easy.” She held her hand out to him. “Friends? You can never have too many of those.”
He returned her smile, giving her hand a firm shake. “Well, Miss Stackhouse, it looks like you have yourself a new friend.”

* * * * *

Eric couldn’t stop thinking about her. This whole just being friends thing was driving him up the wall, when did they ever decide that? She probably just figured he wasn’t ready for more, and on some level he wasn’t, but was willing to break all the rules for Sookie. Then again, she most likely didn’t see him in that way. It was fairly refreshing, to have someone like him for who he was and not because she wanted to jump his bones. Not that Eric would have minded at the moment, he was so beyond frustrated with the wanting of her. No woman had affected him in such a way since Felicia; he honestly didn’t think anyone could again. Eric felt an intense jealousy when she told him about her date, and spent practically all night wondering what they were doing. Wondering if he touched her, kissed her, spent the night at her house. He didn’t think Sookie was the type to sleep with a man on the first date, but the image was making him crazy. It took everything in him not to look out the window when he heard her come home, or pretend he was going to check the mail.
Laughter ripped him out of his reverie, glaring at the sight of Bill Compton having a chat with his boss, John Quinn. Eric couldn’t stand either of them; they were always going on about something petty. Quinn was a lowlife who would hit on anything that walked by the construction site, most of his comments were extremely inappropriate. He wondered why the two of them were always so chummy, and why Bill spent so much of his time there. Didn’t he have a life of his own? It was even worse knowing that this was the man who hurt Sookie; it took all the power Eric possessed not to go over there and introduce Bill’s face to his fist, but perked up when he heard the object of his affections being mentioned.
“I never realized just how miserable I was, but being free of Sookie is the best thing that could have happened to me. Lorena was away visiting family once and Sookie wasn’t putting out, so I had to make up some sob story about my mother being in the hospital just to get laid. Let me tell you, it wasn’t even worth it. Still, what I did love about her was how gullible she was, the bitch would believe anything I told her.”
Quinn barked out a laugh. “She sounds like my kind of woman. If you’re really done with her, I wouldn’t mind giving her a go. I have nasty fantasies that involve me fucking her sweet ass in my trailer, I’m sure I could teach her a few things. You said Sookie wasn’t good at giving head, I bet you anything by the time I’m done, she’ll be sucking cock like a pro.”
Bill waved his hand in the air. “You can do whatever the hell you want, but I guarantee it’ll be a waste of time. The only reason I started dating her in the first place was because of some bet at school, she wasn’t exactly very popular. Sookie was always known as the weird, quiet girl, I made a bet with one of the football players to see how long it would take to get her into the sack. It was only two weeks before she was giving it up, took her virginity and everything. She actually thought I loved her, after that I just kept her around for my own amusement. Lorena isn’t the only one I’ve cheated on her with. I haven’t been faithful during our entire relationship, if you can even call it that. I can’t believe she never figured it out, but then again, she is Jason Stackhouse’s sister. He’s as dumb as they come; it’s hard to tell who got the brains in that family.”
Eric heard enough at that point, and really couldn’t be held responsible for what he did next. He stormed over to Bill and clocked him right in the jaw, watching in satisfaction as he went down.
“Northman!” Quinn bellowed. “What the fuck is your problem? Get back to work or I’ll have your ass canned!”
Eric ignored him, pointing a finger at Compton. “You don’t get to talk about her, do you understand me? If I find that you’ve done anything to upset her again, I will make you pay severely.”
Bill spat blood on the ground, standing up to scowl at the taller man. “What? Are you sweet on her or something? That’s just really pathetic. Everyone knows Sookie will come crawling back; the bitch can’t live without me. You’ll never be enough.”
Eric clenched his fists, getting into Bill’s face and trying to control what little temper he had left. “Stay the fuck away from her, you only get one warning.”
“That’s enough!” Quinn yelled when it looked like Bill would retort. “Get lost, Northman, you’re done for the day. Just be lucky I don’t fire you right now, I don’t wanna see you until next week.”
He let loose another punch to Bill’s face, giving them both one last scathing glare, then turned and walked away. Eric said all he needed to, and if Compton caused anymore trouble for Sookie, he would get far worse than that.
