Meg had talked Christine into going out. Donald was going to football night with some of his guy friends who also had full time girlfriends.
Christine had avoided Raoul's call earlier that day and was not ready to call him back. So she decided that she would go out with Meg. Leaving right from the bank she met Meg first to get some dinner.
Mag took her to nice jazz bar. It was dark and it had a live jazz band playing. When they first entered Christine pictured Erik in a place like this. Then looking around to make sure he wasn't there.
"What are you looking for?" Meg asked when she saw Christine look nervous and look around like she was searching for something or someone.
"Oh nothing." She paused, "Just taking in my surroundings."
Meg seemed happy with that answer and played Christine towards the bar. "What can I get you two beautiful lady's?" The bartender asked winking at them. Meg laughed and Christine blushed.
"How about a Long Island Ice Tea." She turned to Christine.
"Um water will be fine."
"Christine! We came out to have fun." Meg turned towards the bartender, "She'll have the same as me."
The bartender nodded and set out to get them there drinks. Meg leaned back against the bar.
"You need to loosen up a bit Christine."
Christine just shrugged. "I'm going to get us a table alright?"
Meg nodded and Christine walked away. She sat down with her back to the bar.
"Here's your drinks."
Meg turned around, "Listen," She pointed to Christine, "I don't want to see that girl without at drink. Just keep bringing them as she finish's them."
The bartender nodded and Meg grabbed the drinks and walked to were Christine has chosen to sit.
"This is a nice place. A little quiet for our taste but I like it."
"Yeah well more like to quiet for my taste but I knew if I want to get you out and stay out I would have to pick somewhere quiet for you."
"Thanks...I guess."
Meg just smiled and clanked her glass with Christine's and took a sip. Christine followed and took a smaller sip then Meg. Deciding right there that Long Island Ice Tea wasn't the drink for her.
They sat there for a few minutes in silence while Meg sipped her drink.
"So..." Meg asked breaking the silence. "How do you feel?"
Christine got that Meg was asking about how does it feel to be engaged for a few more months than planed. But Christine chose to play stupid, "I feel fine, thanks for asking. How about you?"
Meg rolled her eyes at Christine, "I mean how do you feel now that your wedding has been pushed back?"
"Oh..." Christine nodded her head. "Ok still the same as yesterday and the day before that."
"Why do you feel so guilty about sleeping with Erik?"
"I don't know maybe because I lied to Raoul, um I'm engaged to Raoul!" Christine Shouted. She got up knocking her drink over and walked towards the door.
Meg left 20 dollars on the table to cover then drinks. She caught up with Christine out side. Christine was slumped against the building on the ground crying.
Meg slide down next to her, "Christine..."
Christine cut her off, "I'm a lying cheating slut."
"No Christine, hot guy with a lot of money came up to you and made your head spin and before you could figure out what was going on, you wake up and he was in your bed." Meg Patted Christine's back.
Christine sat with her head in her lap. She shook her head no, and said something but because her head was down Meg couldn't hear her.
"What Christine? Everything you say is muffled."
Christine picked up her head, "Your wrong."
"What?"
"About Erik you were wrong."
"How was I wrong?"
"He's not just some rich guy. He's a really nice rich guy from France." Christine paused wiping her tears away. "Erik. That night he listened and we had a real conversation and when he took me home I felt I knew him better than Raoul. Then he gave me this kiss. Wow! His kiss was something great and I got lost in it. Then we got to my bedroom I don't even remember how we got there or when we took our clothes off. But what he was doing was wow and he was treating me like a woman not a thing. It's hard to explain but when you said it was his fault it wasn't. We did that together."
Meg sat there quiet for a few minutes unsure of what to say. This was nothing like Christine. "Um wow Christine, I had no idea."
"Yeah well I didn't want anyone to know."
"Oh ok. Well how about we go home?"
"That sounds good." Christine wiped the rest of her tears away.
Meg got up and reached out a hand to help Christine get up. They walked home and when they got off the elevator they saw Raoul sleeping against there door. Christine looked to Meg. Meg could tell she didn't want to talk to him.
They walked up to him, "Raoul." Meg pushed Raoul.
"Hmm..." Raoul said not opening his eyes.
"Raoul wake up, it's Meg."
Raoul slowly opened his eyes. He saw Meg standing over him and Christine had her back to him looking down the hall. He got off the floor and straitened his jacket.
"Christine are you ok?"
She turned towards him as Meg went to up lock the door. Raoul could see she been crying and went to hug her. Christine pulled away and head after Meg into the Apartment.
"Christine what's wrong? What did I do?"
"Raoul please don't."
He touched her shoulder and she pulled away like she had been burned.
"Raoul not to night."
"Christine tell me what's wrong!" He demanded raising his voice.
"Raoul just leave!" She said bursting out into tears and running to her room.
Meg looked at him, "I'm sorry Raoul, she's just upset." She paused trying to think of something. "That time of the month you know."
Raoul got what she was saying, "Oh yeah, will you have her call me tomorrow?"
"Yes."
"Goodnight Raoul."
"Goodnight Meg." with that he turned with his head down and walked away.

Meg shut the door. She told Christine what Raoul said and Christine said she was going to take a bath.
Meg went to her room to call Donald because now she had a really big headache.

Donald had come over later the night before to talk with Meg. So when Christine emerged from her room the next morning both Donald and Meg were sitting at the table eating.
They looked up at her, but she kept walking to the front door. She was dressed in her work clothes.
"Are you ok?" Meg called after her.
Christine passed at the door. "I'm fine, at lunch I'm going to go to Raoul's work to apologize to him about last night."
"Christine I told him it was because of that time of the month."
"Thanks." and with that she walked out and shut the door.
So Christine wanted to be with Erik. Next chapter will be good because Christine goes to see Raoul at work. And for all you guys who wanted some Erik/Christine, they talk next chapter.
