A Little Too Late Chapter 6: Eric gets Served
When we get to the restaurant I notice Eric’s silver Audi. I told Jason that they are already here.
Jason told me to get Corbett and we went into the restaurant. I saw the Northmans at a big table in the back. Then Stellan about to make a speech about Eric while he was hugging My. Jason smile and told me show time.
Jason went before me and started talking, “Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Northman I did not mean to ruin your little party, but I need to talk to Eric.” I was at the bar with Corbett on my lap. I heard Eric said, “You can say whatever you want in front of my parents.” Jason brushes his hair with his finger and that was my signal. Corbett you ready. He nodded his head yes.
I went to Eric’s table. I was holding Corbett when I got there. I said, ” My and Stellan how you doing this evening?” They said that they was ok and asked me what I have been up to. I am glad you ask because for the past 4 years I have been taken care of my son Corbett Mason Stackhouse. Eric face went blank and I was proud. I pick Corbett up so My and Stellan can get a good look at him before I continue my speech. I told Corbett tell Mr. and Mrs. Northman hey Corbett said “Hey”.
I gave Jason Corbett to have him ready to put Corbett and when Jason turns around to leave I told Corbett wave good-bye to his Papa, Nana and his deadbeat dad. Stellan and My asked Eric what I was talking about Eric look like he wanted to cry.
I pull the order out of my purse. “Here Eric, this is an order of protection. You and your parents cannot be anywhere near Corbett. If I or any members of my family see any of you three near my son and I mean my son. I will have you arrested so fast it will make you head spin.
I told the Northman’s to have a great evening. I left the restaurants so happy to ruin Eric family party. I walk out Eric stop me and asked me why? “Eric, you hurt me. I know all about those girls at school. You slept with a girl two days after you left me.” I told Eric that we never broke up I figure after he left we were done.
Eric kept telling me he was sorry that he hurt me and he wanted to be a good dad.
I asked Eric “Why now?”
He replied, “Sookie, I was scared about Corbett. I was not ready to be a father and I wanted to have fun at college.”
I told Eric “I was scared was well. I had to grow up the second I saw the little + sign on my EPT test.”
Eric asks me if Corbett can come over to his parents’ house now that they know about their grandson.
I laugh at Eric, “You think that if the truth comes out and you told me why you have not taken care of your responsibility that I just go to Jason and drop the order.”
You are gladly mistaking Mister. “Corbett is my son and I just wanted him to see his other family at least once.”
I heard Jason honk his horn. Eric let me go so I can leave.
I got into Jason’s car and Eric came to my window and kept telling Corbett. “Daddy, love you Corbett. Do not forget that.” You are nothing but a sperm donor. Before I told Jason to drive off I told Corbett to said “Good-bye Daddy.” Corbett did something after he told Eric good-bye for good. Corbett blew Eric a kiss and when Eric was off the car I whisper to Jason let speed off and we did. All I saw was Eric eating ours dust said SORRY and CORBETT.
Driving back home Jason asked me if I am ok. It turn out that I started to cry on the ride home.
Corbett notices and said, “Why you sad mommy?”
I told Corbett “That family has hurt me for the last time and you do not have seen that MEAN family ever again.”
When we got home I look at the time. “O, Corbett it 10 o’clock it is past your bedtime and we got to get up early for day-care and school.
I gave Corbett his bath and put him in bed.
I took a shower and put my pink PJs on.
Hadley came in from her job working at Bon Temps Waffle House. She asked me what was wrong.
I served Eric today. Hadley said, “About time you make him pay child support.”
“No, Had not child support. It was a protection order. I do not want Eric and his parents around Corbett.”
We talk till it was almost midnight. I had class at 10. So we said good-night and see you in the morning.
Got up and dress. Just drop Corbett at day-care and then my ECO 300 class.
When I got to class I noticed that all the girls was looking out of window and laughing like little girl watching Justin Bieber video. So I look outside to see the big idea.
It was Eric by his silver Audi. He was wearing blue jeans with a white t-shirt. I had sunglasses and that black beanie I hated with a passion.
Danielle said, “Sookie, that sexy guy signal you to come outside to talk.
I rolled my eyes to Danielle and whisper to myself, “motherfucker.”
