You Found Me

Chapter 8

For the first time in a long time, I was blissfully happy. Sookie constantly invited me over for pizza and movies. She depended on me for emotional support; in which, I took full advantage of having my cousin back from Bill's clutches.

Godric affections grew and they came with less warning to my own enjoyment. Eric failed yet to catch us, but Pam was a different story. I couldn't look her in the eye for a week from her catching me sitting on the counter hot and heavy with Godric between my legs.

Currently, I typed away wanting to finish this week's expense chart. Godric wandered in, perching on the side of my desk. Mumbling numbers to myself, I kept checking to make sure I made no mistakes. Being nearly finished I knew that Godric was growing impatient clearly ready to go home so we could cuddle on the couch.

Godric paced for a bit before switching tactics.

Pushing my hair to the side, he brushed his lips down my neck.

"Godric," I moaned eye fluttering shut at the sensation I craved constantly.

"Can't you finish it tomorrow?" He whispered between kisses.

"Only five more minutes," I mumbled craning my neck for better access.

"Go on then. You don't mind, do you? I need to be entertained somehow."

Resuming my typing at lesser speed, I was more than distracted my impatient vampire who took immense joy from distracting me.

Finishing in a hurry, I spun around to pull his lips to mine and eagerly. Nipping on his bottom lip, I could feel his small moan of pleasure before he moved us quickly to be on my desk. Not realizing we had an audience who was watching from the doorway, Godric pulled my legs to wrap around him, pulling me close as possible.

I froze to see Eric and Pam looming in the room. I pulled back from Godric catching myself with my hand from falling backward.

Godric stepped back letting me slip around him to print off the records for Eric. Grabbing Godric's hand boldly, I walk past Eric handing him the papers giving him a dry look. His eyebrows rose if saying 'I didn't say anything'.

Dressing down, I slipped from the bathroom to see Godric sitting on the edge of my bed. He was playing with his fingertip, eyes locked on the floor.

"Is something wrong?" I asked putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Isabel is having trouble controlling some vampires in the area. She asked for my assistance immediately. She wants me to leave tonight," Godric answered pulling my hand into his.

Leaning down placing my lips softly onto his, I smiled against his lips. Godric pulled me down to cage himself over my frame. Pulling away slowly, Godric looked down with dark eyes. Grinning like mad, I lean up to kiss him hard mustering all my feelings that I couldn't express with words.

His hands wandered to brush up and down my sides. Tentatively, I push his hand towards my chest. Godric pulled away from the kiss to glance down at his hand before palming slightly. A low moan left my lips and eyes closed when his increase his ministrations. I gave myself to him with no regrets.

Waking up, Godric was gone. A pang of hurt registered, despite, I knew he needed to go. I wasn't that hungry so I settled to take a long bath before having to go to work. The warmth soothed my sore body for a while.

Distracting myself with work, it slipped my mind to take a break and get food. Usually, Godric would go out for to grab a bite to eat with me. Ginger soon stumbled into my office with a grease soaked bag.

"Master said you needed to eat," She affirmed setting the bag on my desk.

After she left, I glanced in the bag so my favorite burger with my favorite toppings of cheddar, bacon, and mushrooms. Did Godric really tell Eric to watch over me? I blushed thinking of Godric being worried about me. Glancing at my phone, no new messages. Sending a quick hello to Godric, I asked about what was going on over in Dallas.

Returning to my work, I sent in the weekly reports to Eric for the vampire documentation for the week.

Three days and no response, maybe he's busy? Seven days, Godric said he would be back now. Two weeks passed into three.

Finishing for the night, it was only Eric and I. Pam had a date so she asked me do cover her work as well. I finished my work and Pam's work before heading to Eric's office. He was on the phone when I heard a familiar name, Godric.

So his phone wasn't broken.

I strutted in to stand in front of his desk seething. Eric looked stern and glum pausing before handing the phone over to me.

"-it's for the better, Eric," Godric finished his sentence.

"What's for the better, Godric? I wouldn't know because you haven't returned my messages," I snapped turning my back to Eric walking out the bar area, despite, knowing he still could hear our conversation fully.

"Lyssa, I'm sorry," Godric voice sounded drained not like usual.

"What is happening? Is Isabel okay? Is it my dad being a pain in the ass? Please, talk to me."

"I can't come back, Alyssa. I'm needed here. It's better for everyone. Eric will look after you to make sure you're safe."

The silence lasted for seconds that felt more like minutes.

He was ending whatever this was.

"It's my fault for thinking that-I'll leave tonight. You belong with Eric and Pam. I'm the problem, I will leave so you can return."

"No, it's not like that. I care for you and want the best for you."

"That's bullshit! Just tell me the truth that you don't care for me and be done with it."

"Is that what you think, Lyssa?" Godric hissed upset.

"Does it even matter considering the outcome is going to be the same?"

"I don't want to hurt you."

"Yep, well, I didn't want to be either but we don't get what we want do we?"

"Lyssa, I know you're angry."

"Fuck you, Godric! Why didn't you do this before you left to my face? Before we slept together? Or were you trying to spare my feelings by not telling me this mid-orgasm?"

Godric huffed wordlessly.

"Goodbye, Godric," I whispered sick to my stomach.

Tears streamed steadily down my eyes turning to see Eric lingering by the doorway.

"I can pack up and be gone tomorrow okay?" I sniffled clenching the phone with a fist.

"That won't be necessary. Pam has taken a liking to you be around. It's easier for everyone that she has someone to go shoe shopping with," Eric explained with soft eyes.

"A-Are you sure?"

Eric nodded taking the phone out my hand.

"I'll drive you to Sookie's so you can finally have a day off," Eric insisted handing me my coat.

In the car, I held back tears. Soft Swedish music filled the car as Eric kept his eyes on the road.

Eric pulled over to get gas before coming out with a pint of chocolate brownie ice cream and a plastic spoon.

"This is what girls eat when their sad correct?" Eric questioned handing it to me.

I laughed; a real honest one. Here a thousand year old vampire trying to provide comfort to his maker's disregarded fling.

"I thought you didn't do human comforting?" I teased taking a small bite of the chocolatey goodness.

"Technically, you're not human."

Pulling into the driveway, he turned off the engine turning to look at me expectantly.

"Goodnight, Eric."
