Christine-POV
My Birthday is here and I'll be spending it with Erik I'm exited but I wonder what Erik has in store for today he told me last night he had a surprise for my birthday but nothing more and the curiosity and wonder will drive me mad if I don't find out soon anyway today on my birthday I'm wearing a white linen top with a long skirt and some flats not my usual outfit but my second favorite outfit combination and my hair's in a braid instead of my usual style of having it down and flowing and I look pretty but I hope Erik will like the way I look.
Erik-POV
Christine's birthday is today and today we go on her birthday picnic she still has no clue what my surprise is but she will find out around lunch time when we leave for our picnic in the meantime I must make breakfast and then I must get dressed cause right now I'm in my bed clothes of a tank top and pj pants and my bed robe of silk anyway before I make breakfast I must dress so I head to my bedroom closet to get my white linen shirt and my white linen pants the reason I'm wearing linen today instead of my usual is because its supposed to be a warm day with a slight breeze and if I wore my usual i'd get hot really quick and that I don't want well I must wash up I'll be right back.
Christine-POV
I really wish to go to the park and walk around even though I've been staying with Erik in his home for a week I miss going outside for walks so I'm hoping Erik will take me outside and we can go for a walk or a picnic and its breakfast time and I'm hungry and wondering what Erik will be making this morning I know it will be something nice and delicious he's a great cook so no matter what he's makes it will be good, I still don't know much about Erik but what I do know know about him makes me want him and like him even more and my longing for him has increased even more almost to the point of maddening me if i can do nothing about it
Erik-POV
I'm dressed in my white linen shirt and pants with dress shoes about to make breakfast when I walk out of my room I realize I'm missing my mask and I begin to panic when I'm about to go back into my room to get my mask Christine walks out of her room and tells me good morning looking me straight in the face no fear of it exists so knowing my face doesn't bother her my panic disappears and we head to kitchen and I'm beginning to make eggs and bacon Christine begins to help and cook too.
In the kitchen Erik is cooking and Christine is beside him helping him cook then she compliments Erik but then she leaves and heads to the dining area.
Erik-Christine you don't need to help me make breakfast its your birthday today is all about you and your time to relax.
Christine-Erik I know I don't have to help but I want too
Erik-Very well and Christine-
Christine-Yes
Erik-Christine you look beautiful.
Christine-Thank Erik you look handsome and good in those linen clothes Winks then Mischievously smiles
Erik- Thank you Christine. I wonder what she's thinking and why she winked and mischievously smiled at me
Christine-Erik,
Erik-yes
Christine- Erik I like it better when you don't wear that mask and I think you look better without it
Erik-really? you think I look better without it
Christine-Yes
Erik-Truly you think I look better without it
Christine-Yes Erik truly
Erik-Does that mean you want me to stop wearing it when I'm at home and with you
Christine-Yes Erik
Erik-POV
Wow Christine surprised me yet again first by calling me handsome then winking and mischievously smiling at me then saying I looked better without my mask and that she doesn't want me to wear it at home around her this girl is truly an angel but not any angel a fallen angel to want me and to spend time with a man like me I love Christine with all my hear if she didn't love me back I would surly die from her rejection I've been rejected love to many times by women I surly can't take it anymore.
