New Me

Chapter Seven

Erik's POV

Before Christine closed her door she kissed me on the cheek then closed her door. I stood there in utter shock she kissed me, ME! I walked to my bedroom and unknowingly putting on my bed clothes then slipping under the covers.

I lay there for a while thinking about the past few days and this evening, Christine was a special girl, no young women, she had a glow about her that glow that people don't care to notice these days especially people her age.

Well I noticed it and I would like to know more about her, there's already several things a know already: she loves romances movies, she's brave, loves stir-fry, a terrible past, kind, caring, and beautiful. There I admit it she's beautiful and am I wrong for think it?

You're falling hard….

Maybe I am

Erik don't remember what happened the time you fell?

How can I forget?

Then why set yourself up?

Because even though I still have much to learn about her I can tell we're the same and she's different

Be that as it may do you want her to love you?

That's her choice.

Well go for it since you know the consequences.

And with that I decided to try, I'm not going to make her fall in love with me I'll simply do things that will make her happy.

Christine's POV

After I dress for bed all I could think about was Erik. The past few days and this evening have been peaceful. His peaceful atmosphere has effected me and I welcome it fully. My kissing him on the cheek earlier send everything inside me in overdrive, the moment my lips made contact I felt electricity all through out my body I wonder if he felt it too.

My eyes drafted to sleep eventually and I soon found out I was dreaming….

Erik and I finished eating a nice dinner and I helped him clean up the dishes, once the dishes were cleaned and put away he turned to me "Want to sit in the living room?" he asked looking like he was nervous.

"Sure" I nodded

He takes my hand and pulls me to the living room and we beside each other and watch the fire dance. Erik takes my hand and kisses it I look at him and his eyes were full of desire and passion. I stared at him with equal desire and passion.

He leans in closer to face and then he kisses me, at first I had no clue what to do then his tongue forced my closed mouth open so he can make the kiss deeper. Then trying to be bold I plunge my tongue into his mouth to taste him.

Then Erik begins to gently push me down on the couch to where he's on top of me, my hands went to his shirt and started to undo the buttons. My hands explore his solid chest he's so built while my hands explore his hands find their way under my shirt, his hands explore my stomach and then up to my breasts.

The way he caressed and squeezed them made gasp and moan in pleasure, his lips leave my mouth and descend to my neck and back up to my ear "Christine, I…"

I woke suddenly breathing heavily and sweating well that was an interesting dream I thought to myself. I get up to look out side it's almost dawn turning from the balcony windows I set out some clothes and gather them up and walk to the bathroom to shower.

Coming out of the bathroom I heard the coffee maker knowing Erik must be awake, it's to be weird being around him after my steamy dream. Putting my pj's on the bed then head for the kitchen before I enter I take one deep breath and put a smile on my face.

"Good morning, Erik" I said trying to sound cheerful.

He turned to me "Good morning, Christine" he said smiling.

Sounding cheerful must have worked "Did you sleep well last night?" I asked sitting myself on the barstool.

"Uh yes, I did thank you" he replied.

I was looking at him when he replied and I couldn't be sure but it look like he was trying to keep composed or something, he turned away before I could look any farther.

"Do you want some coffee?" he asked back still turned.

"No thank you." I said

"Water then?" turning back to face me.

"Yes please." I smiled.

He smiled too and found a glass put ice and water in the glass and gave it to me.

"Hungry." he asked after I took two healthy gulps.

Yes, for you "a little" I replied.

"What would you like?" he asked as if to say I can make anything you can dream up.

"Surprise me." I smiled.

A wicked grin came to his face, I instantly remembered my dream because that grin.

He put two pieces of bread in the toaster then got the butter and a cinnamon shaker, as soon as the toast popped up he buttered the toast and then sprinkled the cinnamon on then put the toast in front of me.

"Cinnamon Toast" he stated.

I picked the toast up taking a bite and chewing, it tasted heavenly can he do nothing wrong?

"Like it?" he asked smiling.

"Love it." I replied smiling.

"Good, now today I promised a shopping trip, correct?" he asked while cleaning up the kitchen.

"Yes you did."

"Well as soon as your done eating I'll give you some of my clothes and I'll help you with wig and contacts." he said

"Why your clothes?" I asked confused

"Well if we to run into someone anywhere today and your clothes someone might two and two together." he explained

"Good point." I agreed

I finished eating and he escorted me to his room handing me a gray T-shirt and gray sweat pants. He requested that I change and meet him in the bathroom, putting on his things made that dream be my constant companion in my head. And the weird part that dream I wanted it to be real, and apart of me was disappointed that it wasn't.

Christine, for God's sake you just met the guy you can't just jump the gun because of some stupid steamy dream! I remind you this is the real world not one of your romance novels. Understand?

Yes.

Good, now enough!

Erik helped me with putting on the wig and contacts he was so gentle about the contacts, I told him I never worn any and was nervous about putting them in, he was gentle about it and told me to look at him and try not to blink.

Once we were both done with done I looked in the full length mirror behind the bathroom door not recognizing the girl staring back. She had long blonde hair and perfect blue eyes wearing a gray T-shirt and matching sweats pulled up to the knees.

"You'll need a name for this disguise." he told me.

I thought about it and decided "Sam" I whispered.

"Alright when you leave this house your Sam, a 21 year-old college student." he said.

"That works, with this disguise I look 21." I stated.

"Well might as well get started with the day's activities." he said.

"Yay." I teased

"Let's not get over excited." he teased back

I laughed and he smiled.

Both Erik and Christine left the house in cheerful moods but both were thinking about theirs dreams from the night before, little did they know both had the same dream.
