I woke up at three in the afternoon the next day. Tayla didn't' get home until 5pm. Another 2 hours.
I gto up and went straight to the shower. It felt great having the warmth soaking into my pores.
After my shower I dressed in a white baggy shirt with some short denim cut offs. I went to the fridge for a snack and surprisingly the fridge was empty.
"Looks like a trip to the shops is in order." I mumbled to myself.
I quickly grabbed a hair band and throw my hair into a messy bun. I grabbed my handbag and keys to my Dodge.
My car is a reddy/orange 1969 Dodge Charger. It's actually the real car from The Dukes of Hazard, I had won it in a competition.
I pushed the button to open the garage and walked out the front door, locking it on my way through.
I headed to my car and got in the drivers seat. I placed the keys in the ignition, switched and turned on the car.
"Safety first!" I put on my seatbelt letting the car warm up.
I reversed the car out the driveway and drove off.
My stomach growled.
I couldn't take it anymore! I decided to go to Merlottes to grab something to eat before I shop. I pulled into the car park at Merlottes and got out of the car.
As I walked into the small diner, I noticed that there was hardly anybody in it. Choosing a seat near the far back window, I sat down at the booth there. Almost immediately after I sat down, a man came over to me.
"Hey darling, what can I get you?" Asked the man.
"Um, could I get a chicken wrap?"
"Sure, are you new to town?" Asked the man.
"I sure am. Oh I am Tracey Adams by the way"
"I'm Sam Merlotte and welcome to Bon Temps."
"Thanks." I said smiling.
"Are you Australian?" Asked Sam.
Sam had blonde, gingery hair with blue eyes and he was a bit scruffy. He was about average height and wore jeans and a flannelette shirt.
"Yes I am actually Australian."
"Its good to see some Australians around."
"Yes, yes it is."
"Well I'll be right back with your order darling."
About 5 minutes later Sam came back with my wrap.
"Can I get you a drink with your wrap?" Asked Sam
"Sure, could I get a lemonade?"
"Yep, I'll be right back?"
"Tracey!" Someone shouted, making me jump.
I looked up to see who it was. It was Alcide.
"Fancy seeing you here Alcide."
"yeah, I didn't expect to see you, may I sit with you?"
"Yeah, ho ahead."
Alcide sat in front of me.
"Here's your drink." Sam said placing my lemonade on the table.
"Thanks Sam how much do I owe ya?"
"$8.00 but you can have the drink on the house."
"Thanks, you sure?"
"Yes, no problem. How you going Alcide?"
"I'm alright, yourself?"
