One of a kind ( Eric Northman fanfic)

Sookie's engagement

Tes/ maria P.O.V

It had been a few months since Maryann & life was normal. Luckily, no one remembered & brushed them off as a wild night. I feel like a lot of people would be embarrassed about what they did. Poor Andy was annoyed with no one remembering. But after a few weeks, he gave up trying to convince anyone. Bud's threats to suspend him again probably got him to shut up.

The only person having problems was Eggs. It was killing him not knowing. He felt like he did something far worse than the rest of them. Tara was trying to convince him to let it go. But, his conscious was eating away at him. She asked me to do something with his memories. I knew that she meant for me to bury them but didn't have the heart to say it. I agreed & would have them over tonight. For now, I focused on finishing my shift by cleaning menus at the bar.

"Excuse me miss?" A lady asked as she tapped my shoulder

"Yes. How can I help you?" I replied as I swivelled to face her

"I'm looking for a Sookie Stackhouse. Is she working today?" She explained as I eyed the large gift bag

"Yeah, my sis is in the back. I'll go get her." I replied as I offered my seat

"Thanks." She said as Tara began questioning her. Luckily, I didn't have to go far as Sook was refilling mustard bottles.

"Got an expensive gift at the bar for you from a certain southern gentleman." I hinted

"Really?" She asked with one eyebrow raised

"Promise this isn't a prank. Come'on. I want to open the sucker up." I groaned before dragging her to the bar

"Sookie Stackhouse?" The lady asked

"Yes." Sook answered

"I'm Dianne Landry from Guidry Boutique in Baton Rouge. You have a very fine admirer who asked for this to be delivered today." She explained as she held the bag out

"Thanks." Sook stuttered as she took the bag. finally, the woman could leave.

"Sam, we're taking 5." I shouted as we headed for the tree in the parking lot entrance

We all took a seat on the log & watched Sook open the bag. Underneath the tissue paper, Bill sent a handwritten card & a large box. It was an invitation for a fancy dinner tonight which was perfect timing. I needed a calm place for when I hypnotised Eggs.

"Why am I hearing wedding bells between you two." I joked as we eyed the box

"You & your imagination." Sook dismissed me as she undid the bow

"Can't blame us after seeing all the obvious gifts. The card al..."Tara backed me up before getting cut off when we saw the dress

"Holy shite." I muttered as Sook held it up

"Yeeah, he's putting a fucking big ring on you." Tara laughed

"You really think so?" Sook asked as she was just as shocked with the dress

"No doubt. For now, let's get back to our boring jobs. But, right after we're dressing you up right." I planned as I folded up her dress

"Hell yes to that." Tara chuckled as she led us back inside

Sook placed the bag in her locker. She had to dash into the office to try & avoid questions. But, Lafayette saw it & opened up his big mouth when she came back. She spent the rest of the shift on trial about the mystery bag. It was funny seeing her squirm. It might have been evil of me to join in but it was too fun not to.
