The worst part of returning home meant Taylor had work in the evening. Not that she was really complaining; she worked in a small bookstore on the edge of Shreveport, stacking shelves and helping customers. The owner of the store was in his late fifties and was a close family friend; as soon as she had moved in with Sookie all those years ago he had immediately offered her work. It was relaxing as much as it was fun.

Of course that meant that during her drive over she was alone with her thoughts, which mainly consisted of Godric. What was this thing they had? If there even was a 'thing' to begin with. He was a vampire for god sakes and it was as clear as day to her that she wouldn't be able to be with him for long anyway. He didn't age; she did.

But Taylor couldn't help that little fluttering feeling she would get in her stomach when he smiled at her; and when he laughed, it was like music to her ears. It was obvious he wasn't like other vampires, maybe he had been like a shorter version of Eric at one point, but Taylor could tell that that wasn't him anymore. She hadn't even seen his fangs! Not that she especially wanted to, but he had to have plenty of control to be able to hold them back.

It had been two days since Taylor had last seen Godric, and she couldn't help but admit that she was missing him just a little. She was currently on her way home from work, dusk having fallen a few hours ago leaving the drive back quiet and smooth, the dim streetlights reflecting patterns on the windshield.

Taylor pulled in to her and Sookie's drive and quickly made her way up to the house. She should just be able to catch the blonde before she left for work at Merlotte's since Sookie had opted to take the night shift.

It was a surprise to Taylor, as she got out and locked up her battered car, that there was figure sat on the old porch steps. As she approached, whoever it was that was sat there seemed to notice her and stood up, stepped off the bottom two steps and began to walk towards her.

'Godric,' she smiled, recognising the young-looking vampire. Taylor met him halfway to the house, and in reply he ducked his head in for a chaste kiss on the lips.

'Hello,' he replied, a sheepish smile on his face. Taylor wasn't going to let him get away with just that though, and she grabbed him by the lapels of his shirt, pulling him back in for a deeper kiss. Godric didn't protest in the slightest, and he snaked his hand into her hair, tugging on the stands and tilting his head to the side as their tongues met again and again.

Taylor could have easily continued to kiss him, were it not for Sookie's abrupt interruption. 'Ew, gross. Get a room!' She would have jumped away in embarrassment were it not for Godric's arm around her waist, holding her close.

Sookie left the front door open behind her as she quickly hopped off the porch. 'I'm off to work; feel free to go inside, you're welcome to come in Godric,' she directed her last words at him with a bubbly smile, before bouncing off to her own car.

'Thank you Miss Stackhouse,' he replied gladly as Taylor grabbed him by the hand and led him inside, kicking the door shut behind them as they entered the property.

As much as Taylor wanted to spend the entire night with Godric, she was absolutely shattered. The vampire seemed to pick up on this, as once they had climbed the stairs he spoke. 'You should get some rest little one,' he paused in the doorway to Taylor's room, her hand still clutched tightly in his.

Taylor tugged him forward, 'Stay with me?' She asked as he gladly stepped through the doorway.

'Of course,' he replied. He sat on the bed whilst Taylor pulled some nightclothes out of her drawers before darting into the bathroom to get changed. She returned quickly, eagerly snuggling under the covers. The vampire lay down on his back beside her and Taylor rolled onto her side so she was facing him.

'Will you visit tomorrow?' Taylor yawned into his chest as his arms slowly snaked around her to hold her close. He had stilled initially when she had rested her head on his chest, but he had quickly recovered.

'Of course,' were the last words Taylor heard before she drifted into a peaceful sleep.

AN; A little fluffy and I guess it's just more of a filler chapter than anything, but I'm still not completely happy with it. The action picks up next chapter, so don't forget to leave a review!
