So Contagious

Why Can't I?

Get a load of me, get a load of you

Walkin' down the street, and I hardly know you

It's just like we were meant to be

I was walking down the street, which was close to the place I first saw Sookie. I was thinking about what Eric asked me. Would I turn Sookie? Yes. Absolutely, I would if she wanted me to.

I would love to live rest of my eternal life with her. Just me and her. Godric and Sookie.

I haven't even thought about meeting the sun after I met her. She is my sun. She is full of light. Full of it. I can't even think about leaving her.

I just wish I knew what it was about her that I found so magnetic? It isn't only her beauty and character. She is just pulling me to her, even when she doesn't try and even when I am not around her.

You might imagine how crazy Eric thinks I am?

Truth to be told, I always told him that love was a weakness, that there weren't such a thing as love. I didn't know any better. I haven't been on love… like ever. And I'm over 2 000 years old. Even before my angel.

I didn't even think like vampire anymore. Maybe that was part of the problem. I didn't feel like…anything actually.

"Let go of me!" I heard Sookie's voice.

Sookie.

"Shut up, bitch," I heard a boy's voice saying. Sookie started screaming on top of her lungs, then voice stopped.

"You're the damn freak fucking freak fuck!" the boy yelled to Sookie.

I run to the source of the voice. These days I was apparently running to the source of her voice…a lot. But this time she was in trouble. Who dared to harm her? Or claim that she was a freak?

When I was in front of her and a boy, I looked at him closely. The boy had brown hair. He let go of Sookie, when he saw me and looked me up and down.

"What do you want?!" he asked me.

"Sookie, are you OK?" I asked her.

"Yes, thank you."

"What do you want from Jason Stackhouse's sister? She's just a freak," the boy said laughing.

That was it. I had enough of this guy. I put my hand to his throat and squeezed.

"Godric!" I heard Sookie yelling and I looked at her.

"Could you please let go of him?" he asked me.

"He was hurting you," I told her like she didn't know, which she of course knew.

"Please." I let go of son of a bitch. He fell to the ground and left running.

I put my hands to her shoulders and asked: "Are you OK?"

She nodded.

"Are you sure?"

She smiled to me.

"Yes, you're always asking am I sure…Like my name."

"Yes…well…are you?" I asked.

"Positive," she told me and put her hands on mine, so we could hold each other's hands.

"Is this OK?" she asked me.

"Hold my hands?" I asked quietly.

"Yes."

"I like it a lot. which is weird, because vampires don't usually like touching," I told her.

Holding hands with you, and we're out at night
