You Found Me

Chapter 9

Weeks passed eventually the heartache lessened but still stung whenever my mind wandered. Pam like to distract me with shopping but also movie nights and nail painting. Eric didn't mention Godric to me at all which made things easier. Sookie helped to distract me on weekends as well.

Eventually, I decided to spread my wings and move out of Eric's house and into an apartment. Myah, my new roommate, was looking for a roommate that only was a few blocks from Fangtasia which worked out perfectly. Finally, I got rid of the glasses I'd worn since middle school and got contacts. My birthday passed and I spent it with Sookie. Pam took me on a shopping spree and Eric gave me a smile and brought me my favorite coffee from down the street. Now, I was eighteen or technically nineteen if you ask the government.

I mainly kept busy with work.

A few weeks later, after we had closed up for the night, Pam mentioned that it was Eric's birthday in passing. Sneaking towards his office, I slid through the door. He took his eyes off the computer leaning back in his chair.

"Hey birthday boy," I chirped walking to lean against his desk.

"I should have figured Pam would say something," Eric muttered turning his chair to me.

"Well, I was thinking of what I could get you but you have access as many strippers you could need. So I figured I could give you something else."

He tilted his head in curiosity.

"I was a little wary of you at first but I see the love you have for Pam and," I took a small breath before continuing, "Godric. You did nothing but offer me a helping hand. I am indebted to you but I have nothing to give you. So when the time comes and you need something from me to make your life easier just let me know."

Eric had a trace of a smile on his lips before leaning forward towards me.

"Kiss me."

My face twisted in confusion.

My heart raced at the thought despite the guilt for how it would hurt Godric. Hell to Godric, he was the one who broke it off.

Looking down into Eric's eyes, he saw beneath my internal struggle.

Stepping forward slowly, I lean down holding Eric's face cradling it softly. My eyes fluttered shut as our lips touched. A few seconds passed and a gentleness emerged I wasn't expecting. He tasted different from Godric but in an amazing way.

I pulled away trying to recover from the new sensation.

Eric's hand stroke the side of my face in an unfamiliar look in his eyes. He jerked me forward, kissing me with intense pace. Pulling me into his lap, I did my best to keep up with his pace. I moaned his hand tugged me closer to his broad chest. My hands trailed to the nape of his neck. Eric let loose a low growl when I shifted myself better onto his lap. Oh, God, I want him to make that noise again.

"Well, I can't say I didn't see this coming," a voice chirped from the cracked door.

Looking over my shoulder, a smirking Pam stood watching us with an amused grin. I blushed looking down an oozing pride from Eric. Pulling myself to my feet, I composed myself.

"Next time probably close the door," Pam added shutting the door behind her.

"Well, that just happened," I muttered feeling extremely warm.

"We could always pick up where we left off," Eric suggested with a grin.

"But we can't do that again because it was a one-time thing because that can't happen because you're my boss and Godric is your maker and this can't ever happen again because of those reasons."
