Brighter Now

Chapter 5

Adira couldn't believe it had already been few weeks since she started dating Godric. Two weeks ago she almost didn't agree to go that date and now she was falling in love with a 2000- year old vampire. She was just worried that other shoe would drop.

She knew from her books and television shows that when vampire meets or is happy with a girl, something bad would happen. Like when Buffy had sex with Angel he lost his soul or when Bella and Edward... She couldn't believe she almost made a twilight reference.

Adira thought that she could keep avoiding Sookie Stackhouse. She thought she could be successful since they never really talked to each other before she kinda kidnapped her to Eric Northman of all people.

Adira and Eric didn't really get along at first but these days they were almost friends. Adira didn't blame Eric for being mean at her. Godric was one of the most important people in Eric's life, so he was overprotective. Godric disagreed of course and they decided to be civil for him. Adira might be nice person and had hard time to say no to people but when someone was mean to her, she was mean back.

"Adira?" A voice brought her back to now. Adira was wearing Black skinny jeans, beige booties,white tee, red and black flannel and beige hat. She was having lunch at Merlotte's with Sierra and Sookie Stackhouse was standing in front of them, wearing her waitress clothes. Sierra was wearing a black crop top, skirt and leather jacket. Sierra had kinda bad ass style when she wasn't working. Adira usually was too too shy to use clothes that showed her stomach.

"What do you want?" Sierra asked Sookie, madly. She was even more mad at Sookie than Adira. No one messed up with Sierra's best friend. Adira on other hand felt bad when she saw how sad Sookie was.

"I came to apologize. I've tried calling you but you never answer, not that I blame you after-- you know but I only wanted to save Lala," Sookie explained.

"Maybe that's the problem," Adira told her, quietly, "You only think about you and your friends. You weren't thinking about what it could mean to me, were you?"

"But you're okay, right?"

"That's not the point, Sookie. You know how Eric and Pam are like and you just left me there. You had Bill to save your ass but what if Godric wouldn't have wanted to--" Adira stopped talking when she saw that Sookie was crying.

"Why the fuck are you crying?" Sierra asked her, angrily.

"Sierra, Shh!" Adira told her best friend and moved a little so Sookie could sit down next to her.

"I can't. I should go before Sam gets mad," Sookie told them as she wiped a tear from below her eye.

"Just sit and just tell me what's wrong. It's not Eric, is it?" Adira was just too selfless for her own good.

"It's just Bill," Sookie told them.

"He's a creep," Sierra told her, "What did he do?"

"I found out he was cheating me with his maker."

"What?" Adira asked her, shocked, "He seemed so in love with you."

"A creep," Sierra repeated.

"Maybe some vampires are like human, then. I mean Godric--"

"You're still in touch with Godric?" Sookie asked, shocked.

"They are dating," Sierra informed her and Adira blushed.

"What is it?" Adira asked when Sookie kept quiet.

"I also did something bad," Sookie told them and looked down to her hands.

"What's that?" Adira wondered aloud.

"I kissed Eric."

"What?" Adira and Sierra asked at the same time.

"Damn that guy is hot," Sierra whispered as she took a gulp of her coca-cola.
