Thank you to everyone that is reading this story and has left me a review it has helped me to continue to write.
I don't own any of these characters just borrow them to tell a story.
I am just borrowing them to tell a story.
Erik looks at the door behind which he knows Christine is laying a bed hurting. He knows that he blames himself as he feels that he was too weak to come to her aid when she needed him most. He is not sure how this will play out but he must try to be there for her is she wants him to be.
Slowly he turns the knob and pushes open the door his eye quickly adjust to the candle light that is lighting the room is dim and not really too bright as the doctor wants Christine to relax.
Erik walks over to the bed and looks at the woman that he loves and sees that tears stain her face and he has to force himself not to run thru the door he just entered and out of her life so he does not cause her any more pain.
He continues to gaze at her slowly Christine looks at Erik and smiles. "Erik I am so happy to see you my love and husband." Erik nods but he does not know what to say. Christine rises from the bed and places her hand on Erik's exposed face. "Erik I love you so much I am so happy that we are out of Raoul's house and can begin our life together."
"Christine how can you talk about a life together I have caused all this pain that you had to endure it was because of me that Raoul felt the need to take part in something that woman normally only offers to her husband. Christine I am not sure how to deal with the guilt that I feel for the pain that I have caused you. I should walk away and let you feel no more pain."
"Erik if you walk away I will be in even worse pain then what Raoul put my body thru. My soul and my body would bleed. Erik I love you so much I want a life with you that never ends."
Erik rises from the bed and walks to the door "Christine I cant I have to leave you so you no long feel the pain that I have caused you."
"Erik come here please!"
Erik walks back over to the bed and sits back down by Christine once more.
Christine rises from the bed again and begins to unbutton Erik's shirt his hands stop her thinking that she wanted him to claim her and as the doctor has said he can't.
"Erik the marks that are on your chest show that you could not do anything to save me. I love you Angel please stay with me. Hold me love me as we vowed before God and the priest."
Erik wraps his arms around Christine pulls her softly towards himself enjoying the feeling of the woman her helped to shape by teaching her music when he himself was still under 20.
Christine pulls away from the hug and slides off Erik's mask and wig and cresses his face that was cover by them and leans into her husband and begins to kiss him passionately.
Erik returns her kiss moaning into her mouth.
"Christine after all that you have been through you still want your husband to touch you and kiss you."
"Erik yea I do and I want my husband to do more then just kiss and hug and touch me."
"Christine I would love abide you but the doctor says that I have to let you heal from the damage that Raoul caused I would love nothing more then to officially take you and not just a planned thing on the floor."
"Erik I know that I have to heal. But promise me that you will not push me away thinking that you caused me all this hurt and that I can't forgive you. Erik you did nothing to hurt me I love you and once the doctor says that I am healed enough to be with you I want to be promise me Erik."
Erik looks at his wife and says " Yes Christine I promise that I will not push you away again that I will allow us to have our honeymoon night along with the breakfast in bed that I had planned to serve you."
"Erik do you sware this that you will never again try to push me away because of what Raoul has done to us. Kiss me to seal this deal."
Erik leaned in and kissed his wife, his Christine letting her remove his shirt as they kissed.
"Please Erik lay with me I feel safer from the nightmares when I can feel your powerful arms and your chiseled chest."
Erik simple nodded and layed down with his wife holding her close to his own body remembering the first time they ever layed like this and wished that he could to return to that time with the knowledge he had now and try to save his love from the cruel fate that she and he now faced for years to come.
