A/N: This is my 1st FanFic I appreciate any feedback and I hope you enjoy the story!

I own nothing they belong to Ms. Harris I just like to play with her toys.

Here I am again sitting on the porch swing watching as the last rays of sunset dance on the horizon by all rights it is beautiful the pinks oranges and purples put on a spectacular show as they wash across the clouds. However tonight just like every other night for the last 3 weeks I am unable to truly enjoy it because I know that after the beauty fades from the sky and true night falls I will have to relive him leaving again and by him I mean Eric.

When I first took Eric in off the side of the road afraid and without his memory I was not at all happy about the idea, in fact I downright loathed it. I did not want to deal with any vampires anymore I had barred them all from my life after the hell Bill put me thru and rightly so if I say so myself. When I saw him scared and alone it ripped at my heart strings, I knew what it was like to be both of those things. When I accepted that he honestly had no idea who he was or any memory of his long life and was not trying to trick me into to doing something for or with him, to say I was shocked was an understatement! My plan was to help him by returning him to Pam she would be able to care for him until he could be restored. Then my conscience would be clear and my gran wouldn't be ashamed of me for not helping a person err vampire in need and I wouldn't have to be involved in any more vampire shit but did it work out that way…nope.

Instead Pam pretty much forced him on me, mind you she had sound reasons for me to harbor him firstly he would be safe from other vamps since they would require an invite into my home and that so was not going to happen and secondly no one would think to look for him with me since we weren't really connected in any way. Jason being the opportunist that he is negotiated a fee for him staying with me since the witches were offering 50,000 for him. I didn't want the money( not that I didn't need it) I didn't want any of this but as it so often goes others make decisions about my life and I feel obligated to go along so that is how it started between Eric and me.

We spent a week together while Pam and the others hunted down the witches that had done this to him, during that week my whole world changed. While I was sheltering Eric form the world I also got to know him a part of him I doubt many if any have ever seen. This Eric stripped of all his vampire nonsense was a sweet, caring and funny guy. He respected me and treated me as his equal. He wanted to know anything I could tell him about himself and what kind of relationship we had. He wasn't too thrilled with a lot of the things I had to say about him or us and vowed that he would be a changed man.

For that week that wonderful week Eric was everything to me and I was everything to him. I fell in love with him that week, even though I knew that when he was restored to himself he may not want any of this. I was right sort of, he couldn't know if he wanted the "us" from that week or not because he couldn't remember any of that week. I will never forget when he rose for the night and I was standing there looking at him with my eyes full of love and he was looking at me like I was a threat. He had no idea how he got to my house the last thing he remembered was changing clothes in his office. I was devastated. I could tell he was very confused he just kept looking at me like he was trying to match some emotion to a memory, then his face went blank and he told me he had to go, that was 3 weeks ago.

Since that night I have not heard from him at all, I kept up hope for the first week that he would call or show up. My longing for him was incredible I missed him fiercely and I wanted him to come back so much that it was tearing me apart inside. I went thru the motions everyday but I felt nothing but emptiness. I know everyone noticed how off I was I kept screwing up orders at work and on more than a few occasions Sam just sent me home. I didn't want to talk about what was wrong and after a week of asking me what was up Tara and Lafayette just gave up trying to get thru to me.

I had shut out the world, my hurt and sadness where my only companions in the weeks since Eric got his memory back and left me alone. Each night I held the same pity party for myself I would watch the sunset from my front porch swing once it was full dark I would walk into the spare bedroom where the hidey hole was and sit on the bed and just stare off into to space. I would think of the nights we had had together and cry until I had no tears left and would simply pass out from exhaustion. I had not set foot back into my own room since the night he left; the memories of us together in that bed were just too painful.

As I headed back into the house I decide that tonight is going to be different, I am a Stackhouse for Pete's sakes! My Gran did not raise me to be a weeping Willa and she also raised me to fight for the ones I love and to go after the things I wanted from life. At that moment I knew things had to change, I looked and felt like hell I decided to trade in my pity party for a pretty party.

I was going to start with a hot relaxing bubble bath, I pulled out my favorite scented candles and lit them all over the bathroom, my bathroom, oh yes I was reclaiming that bedroom we had shared! I poured some ocean scented bubble bath into the hot water and turned on my radio. I slipped down into the water and felt the tension start to melt away from my body; yes this was just what I needed. I scrubbed myself til I felt brand new, washed and conditioned my hair and shaved my legs, I was starting to feel like me again.

After I took care of all my hygienic needs I relaxed back into the hot water for a long soak and bobbed my head to the songs on the radio. As I was listening to the lyrics to Just Can't Get Enough by the Black Eyed Peas I couldn't help by notice how they applied to the way I felt about Eric I was addicted and I really couldn't get enough. I wanted him and it was then I decided that I was going to get him back!

I was formulating my plan to get my Viking back and I was going to need some help, some help from someone who had inside information, Pam. So I got up my nerve and dialed the number to Fangtasia praying it would be Pam who answered.

After a few rings a bored voice answered the line "Fangtasia where all your bloody dreams come true, how may I please you!" That Pam! "Hello Pam, how are things?" I said. "Sookie my favorite breather I am well as can be considering. How are you?" She replied.

I wondered to myself what exactly did she mean by considering." I have been better Pam and what do you mean considering?" I asked. She was silent for a moment and I could tell she was walking somewhere with the phone as all the background noise was fading away.

"I mean that considering my maker is absolutely unbearable, he is moody and has been terrible for business ever since he came back from his little stay with you." She replied. To say I was caught off guard was an accurate statement I assumed Eric would have been back to his usual self.

"It is making him crazy that he can't remember anything about your time together, he is making me crazy asking me about it when I have no answers to give him. I have told him to ask you about it but he thinks you wouldn't want to see him as he says you would just tell him to go fly a kite as it is your customary reaction to his presence." She said.

I had to stifle a giggle when she used the phrase to go fly a kite as I remembered telling her she could tell him that very thing once. I was also saddened that he was in so much turmoil and that he thought I wouldn't want to see him. However as he didn't remember out time together he only had my pre-amnesia attitudes toward him to go off of.

"Enough about that, tell me to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" she asked. Well here goes I thought. "Pam I need your help?" I said. That question was met with a silence that lasted long enough that I had to ask if she was still there. "I am here. What kind of help do you need, I can be very helpful!" She said. I could hear the leer in her voice and the innuendo did not escape me.

"Pam!" I said completely exasperated. "I am not in the mood for your lesbian weirdness! I need your help with Eric." Once again the line was silent I guess my request took her by surprise. So I just continued "I was wondering if maybe you could come out to my place so we can discuss this further?" She finally answered with an "I am on my way." And hung up in my ear, vampires really could use some etiquette lessons.

I paced around my living room while I waited for Pam to arrive, I was nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! I knew without a doubt that I wanted Eric but what if without his memories he didn't want me. Well I know he wants me because of my gift but I don't know if he will want me in a relationship kind of way like I do him. Vampires as a rule don't do feelings and while I know Eric has feelings he certainly doesn't ever express them. I was so lost in my thoughts that I shrieked when there was a knock at my door," Jesus Christ, Sheppard of Judea!" I muttered to myself as I went to answer my door.

"Please come in Pam." I said. She walked into the living room and I invited her to have a seat on the couch. "Can I get you a Tru Blood?' I asked. "No, I can't stand that vile swill. I am however very much looking forward to hearing what it is you need my help with concerning Eric." She replied. So I launched into my sad story about how miserable I have been for the last few weeks since Eric got his memories back and left. I told her that I missed him and that I wanted him back. I told her that I needed her help to come up with a plan to make him see that I wanted him with or without his memories of that week.

She was silent for a few minutes as she digested the information I had just relayed to her. She shook her head as a smile broke across her face which is quite a site to see on Pam, honestly I had wondered if she could even smile as this was the first time I had ever seen her do it. "Sookie I would be delighted to help you win my master's affections. I think that even though he will never admit it to me or anyone else he misses you. What ever happened between you two has changed him." She said. I was so excited that she agreed to help me that I flew off the couch and wrapped her up in a hug, I didn't even care that it totally freaked her out. "Thank you Pam, thank you so very much!" I cried.
