"So here you are, Merlotte's Bar and Grill." said Riley, running his fingers through his hair.

"Thank you for taking me. I would still be walking in this horrible heat if it wasn't for you." she said, smiling. She gave him a friendly kiss on the cheek, and opened the door, jumping out of his Jeep.

"Hey, you want to go out tomorrow?" he said, clearing his throat, fidgeting in his seat.

"Sure, where to?"

"No, I mean, do you want to go out tomorrow?" he said, not really clearing things up.

"I don't understand…" she said, looking at him with a confused face. He sighed, and looked at her in the eyes.

"Would you like to go out on a date with me, tomorrow?" she looked at him with a face of shock. She stepped back from the car, and sighed. She opened her mouth, but no words came out. She gave his a look of desperation. "Look, how about this. You think about it, I'll come back in a few hours. Okay?"

"Sure?" Sierra said, still not sure. He chuckled, driving away.

She walked into Merlotte's, and it was packed full of people. "Sierra! Finally, you're here." said Sam, as he passed her quickly, delivering something to a table.

She quickly put on her apron, and got to work.

A few hours later, in walks Godric with Sophie Ann. Eric did not accompany them tonight, but this did not settle Sierra's stomach. They sat in their usual seat, in her section, and she kept her sigh to herself. She walked over to the table and smiled.

"Welcome to Merlotte's, what can I do for you today?"

"Well, first of all you can wipe that stupid grin off your face." said Sophie, checking her reflection in a hand held mirror. "Second, you can get us 2 True Bloods, O neg. Thanks." she said. Sierra looked over at Godric, but he had his eyes down on the table.

Sierra walked away, as calm as she possible could, and left the order on the table. She then walked into the kitchen, and was greeted by Lafayette.

"Hey, girlie. How are you doin' this fine evening?" he said, adding some spices to his chili.

"I'm doing wonderful. So fucking wonderful really. I could fill the whole state of Louisiana with my fucking happiness!" she said, kicking the oven. Lafayette laughed, and then looked over to the tables.

"Oh, I see. That hunk of a man you got your eyes set on is with her. Child, ain't nothing good was going to come out of this, I told you, but no ever fucking listen to Lafayette."

"I really don't need a lecture right now." she said, sighing and leaving the kitchen, grabbing two True Bloods from the fridge, and walking over to the table. "Here you go, enjoy." she said, and walked away.

"This isn't microwaved. I don't want it if it's not microwaved." said Sophie, pushing it away.

"Sophie Ann, really, it's all the same…" said Godric, but she scoffed.

"No, it isn't. Is there a reason why you could microwave them?"

"Yes. The microwave is busted." she said, with whatever patience and calmness she had in her. Sophie rolled her eyes, and opened the bottle. Sierra walked away, this time not being called back, and leaned on the wall of the bar.

"Hey, Sierra, come here." asked Sookie, behind her. Sierra did so, and they walked to Sam's office.

"What's up?" she said, kind of annoyed my Sookie's stupid happy grin.

"Do you like that Vampire?"

"Have you been reading my mind?"

"It sort of just slipped in, sorry. But that's not the point."

"It kind of doesn't matter. He doesn't like me anyways, he's too stuck on miss fire crotch over there."

"Sierra!" she said, giggling. "Well, I wouldn't worry. The way he was lookin' at her, I'm sure he doesn't have eyes for her. Maybe they're for you?" she said, smiling.

"Or maybe not. I have to get back to work." she said, walking out of the office. The moment she got outside, she saw Riley sitting at the bar. He saw her, and smiled. She smiled back, a bit fake, but nonetheless still smiled.

"Hello, Riley." she said, leaning over the bar. She quickly looked over to Godric, and he was staring at her. She gulped, and resisted the urge to look over again.

"So, have you made a decision yet? Wanna go on that date with me?" he said, his fingers moving nervously. She sighed, and looked over again. This time, Godric looked angry.

Sierra smiled. This was mean, yes very mean. But it was probably the only way she was going to get Godric to chase after her, and that's what she wanted after all.

To be with Godric. Just try it out, see what it would be like to have a relationship with a Vampire.

"Okay. Fine. I will go on a date with you tomorrow." she said, smiling.

"Really? Wow, that's great. Uh, I'll call you tomorrow. I guess. I sound like an idiot, I should go." he said, smiling and laughing nervously. He walked out of Merlotte's, and Sierra looked over to Godric, but he wasn't there. Neither was Sophie.

"You just missed them. They both literally just ran out that door in their vamp speed." said Sookie, standing next to Sierra. Sierra looked at the clock.

"It's getting late, I should go." said, Sierra, taking off her apron and grabbing her school bag. She said a general good bye to everyone, and then walked out.

She started to walk out of the parking lot, when she felt something behind her. She quickly turned around, and saw Godric.

"Really. Stop that." she said, one hand on her heart. She turned around, and kept on her walk. Godric joined her.

"I'm sorry."

"For?"

"Everything. Sophie, especially, and not being able to defend you. It's just, she's my queen, and I have to obey her."

"Your queen?" asked Sierra, stopping dead in her tracks. "Is that like some sort of Vampire sexual innuendo?" Godric smiled.

"No. You've never heard of a Vampire queen? She has power over all of the vampires in her area." he said, as they kept on walking.

"Oh, I see." said Sierra, not really knowing what else to say.

"So, that Riley kid." he said crossing his arms.

"What about him?"

"Why did you say yes to go on a date with him?"

"Because no one is going to take me, so I might as well. He cares for me, he's nice." she said, and he sighed.

"I would take you. In a heartbeat."

"You're heart doesn't beat." she said, walking away.

"So this is like revenge because I've been a little mean to you?"

"Godric, please. I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe with Sophie?"

"I'll see." he said, and then he disappeared.

"Not as I planned, but okay." she said, continuing her walk.
