I don't own anything other then the plot

Chapter 2

Christine smiled at the man that she had always called Angel. He had not bothered to put his cloak back on himself rather he had draped it around her shoulders. Nor had he fixed his shirt for when she had exposed his chest. They were walking away from the stage when Christine stops.

"Angel, Raoul if he cant find me he will hunt us down may be we should let him think everything is ok that it was not you that was with me on stage if he finds me in my dressing room maybe I can convince him that I don't want to marry him any more. I don't want to have to be parted from you but I do need to clean up the mess I made with Raoul.

He smiled at her and changed their direction from the entrance to his home to her dressing room.

Once inside the dressing room Christine asked Her Angel to help her change clothes.

"Christine I don't think that is proper for a man to assist a woman who is changing that is not his wife. I will turn my back and you can get ready my dear."

Christine had to smile and laugh at his statement since most men would have been all too happy to get a quick touch of a almost undressed woman but not her Angel.

"Ok Angel I am changed as she came out in her nightgown and robe I am sure Raoul will be coming soon please don't go far."

"Christine I will only be on the other side of the mirror."

She closed the gap between them and wrapped her arms around his waist enjoying the feel of his flesh under her touch. He wrapped his arms oddly around her not used to be hugged he was not sure if she truly wanted him to hug her.

After a minute or two he pulled away and walked into the space behind her mirror with the mirror going back into place just seconds before Raoul came running into her dressing room.

Christine stood there is shock and rage that Raoul would just barge into her dressing room.

" Raoul what are you doing I could have been changing."

"Christine since we are engaged it does not matter if I see you in a state of undress since I will always see you as such once you are my wife." He moves toward her to try and pull her into an embrace. But she backed away from him.

"Raoul I made a mistake I cant marry someone like you that would want me to leave the only life that I know since I cant sing or dance on the stage once I would be married to you. I only know that life and these people are all my family. I am so sorry Raoul but I will not be able to marry you and have to give up my singing."

"Christine I love you and you have said that you love me so that is the perfect reason to marry now come my dear I want a kiss."

"RAOUL! Were you not listening to me I don't want to marry you I saw our friendship and our past as love but it is not love. Love is when your skin burns to be touched by the other person. When a kiss from that person makes you weak in the knees. I don't feel that kind of affection toward you I see my past when I was happy with my father playing his violin. But my farther is gone and I have to let go of the past to be happy in the future."

"Christine your confused your scarred about the fact that the Phantom monster could have taken you and we would have been parted for the rest of our lives come my dear please let me kiss you."

"No Raoul no leave me be and don't return your not welcome in my dressing room. O and here is your ring. Any one who would call my teacher a monster is not a friend of mine"

She tries to hand Raoul the ring but he will not take it so she drops it on the floor at his feet.

"Christine you had a bad day my come let me hold you and keep you safe."

He moves towards her and she backs away

" STOP ! Raoul I am safe now I want to rest I am tired please leave and I don't wish to see you again."

She walks to the door of her dressing room and opens it waiting for Raoul to leave.

She cant wait for him to leave so she can talk to her Angel run her hands over his chest

Raoul stalks out of the dressing room defeated but leaving the ring on the floor.

Once Raoul is out the door Christine closes it and sits on her bed.

Her Angel is beside her in a few seconds.

She smiles as him as he sits beside her pulling her into his warm embrace.

"Christine he whispers when you spoke of love you said skin burns to be touched by the other person and their kisses make you weak in the knees how do you know my dear that my kisses might not make you weak in the knees."

"She looks at him dead in the eyes and says your voice makes me weak in the knees so I am sure your kisses will meet that idea as well and when you were touching me on stage I want you to be touching my flesh not my costume. Angel what are you called?"

"The gypsies I live with called me the Devils Child but one woman among them called me Erik my mother never named me I was an it to her and not worthy of a name. So I always though my name was Erik."

"Erik I like the sound of that name."

She smiles seeing he did not fix his shirt and his chest is still exposed for her to see.

She runs her hands over his shoulders to lower the shirt and smiles as it slips off his shoulder.

" Christine what are you doing my dear."

"Touching you Erik I like the feel of your skin against my flesh. Erik will you kiss me please."

He is shocked " Christine are you sure you want me to kiss you it is one thing to touch your costume on stage or your hands. Yes my dear I realized the change you make to the play placeing your hands over mine rather then under."

"Erik I wanted to feel your touch just as I long to feel your lips against my own. Please Erik.

He knows he would never be able to deny her anything so he lowers his head and their lips meet slow at first just enjoying the feeling. She runs her tongue over his bottom lip. He allows her access to his mouth and tongue they continue to kiss swirling tongues. She caress his masked face (Don Juan Mask) He groans into her mouth as the kiss becomes deeper and full of emotion.

They slowly pull away from eachother both knowing that they just shared true Love's first kiss.

Next Chapter: will Eric and Christine find a way to be together or will Raoul interfere.
