Chapter 29: Friend's Promise
Christine's POV
"Alright, girl. Spill all the details."
"W-What?" Meg's question throws me off guard. How would she know what happened?
"Oh no, no playing dumb." Meg shakes her head. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. I know something happened between you guys."
"Y-You do?"
"Oh yeah. You have that 'I'm on cloud 9' look on your face. Plus..." She grabs my phone and unlocks it, showing me the background picture that is of the two of us in front of the castle. "So spill." She sets the phone down. Sighing, I know there's no use in hiding it from Meg. She'd eventually find out. Plus maybe it would be a good thing to have someone know about us.
"You cannot tell anyone." She squeals loudly.
"I was right!" She practically is jumping in her chair. "Oh my god! I'm so happy for you guys! Finally you two are together. It's about frickin' time. Tell me everything. I want all the details."
"What details do you want?"
"Skip the trip because I already know everything about it. I want to know what happened afterwards." I sigh. Hopefully Erik won't be mad if Meg knows.
"We spend a good amount of time just talking, like normal for us. He...told me that I was his favorite kiss ever."
"Ahhh!" Christine giggled as she remember that night. "Keep going. What happened afterwards?" She demands.
"Well..." I tell her how the rest of the night went with her listening to every word I'm saying. By the end of the story, she is fanning herself. I skipped some parts that I didn't want to tell Meg right away.
"Damn girl, you are lucky." She fans herself. "So does this mean you two are together?"
"We're giving us a chance."
"AHHHH!" She basically screams.
"Shhhh Meg."
"What your dad isn't home so I can scream as loud as I want."
"No but I have neighbors and I don't need them thinking I'm murdering someone."
"I can't help it, my best friend got a boyfriend who is amazing not to mention extremely good looking and sounds like a god in bed." My cheeks blush at the last part. "When are you seeing him next?" She asked.
"I don't know, he's been busy and we can't exactly be public at the moment. My dad doesn't know yet and neither does his family."
"Wel-" A knock interrupts Meg's sentence. "You expecting company?" I shake my head as I get up to answer the door. Opening it, I gasp as I see a vase of flowers sitting on the doorstep. "Who is it?" She asks from the living room. Picking up the vase, I take it inside and set it on the kitchen counter. "Ooooo..." Meg skips over to look at the flower. 12 red roses, each with a black bow wrapped around the stem and a note.
My love,
'Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, Did my heart fly at your service'
"Never would I think Erik as a poem's man." Meg said over my shoulder as looked at the night.
"He is. He has a few tattooed on his arms." I remember seeing them and saying them. "My father always said that he has the heart of poet."
"This man gets better and better." Meg leans against the counter as we hear the door open. "Now who's here?" Meg asks as we turn towards the doorway. My heart races as Erik appears. "Look who it is."
"Always a pleasure to see you, Meg." He says back as he sets his keys on the counter. "What are you two up to?" He asks us, keeping it casual since Meg is here.
"Christine was telling me about her Disney trip, all the details." My eyes widen, knowing Erik hasn't agreed to letting anyone know about us.
"Oh really?" He glances at me and the back at Meg.
"Excuse me for a moment, I have to make a call." I know she's lying as walks out of the kitchen, leaving us alone. Once she's gone, Erik's lips were on mine. Oh how I've missed his kisses...
Trapping me between the counter and him, his presses his body against mine. Our lips fuss together as he picks me up to set on the counter. My legs instantly part for him, having missed the feeling of his body between them. I could get used to this kind of greeting... He pulls away, leaving us breathless.
"I've been wanting to do that all week." He says, making me smile. "Among other things." There's a hint of naughty in his eyes and I knew what other things his ment. My cheeks instantly blush as usual. You would think that even after sleeping together, I wouldn't blush as much but I still do.
"I'm curious what these 'other things' are." I smile at him. He leans in to whisper in my ear.
"I rather show you then tell you." His words sent a shiver down my spine.
"When?"
"Tonight?" He asks me.
"I'll tell dad I'm staying over at Meg's." I tell him.
"She'll agree to be your cover?" He tilts her head.
"Well...she kind of knows." He just stares at me for a moment. "Don't be mad, she basically pried it out of me." He continues to stare at me, not saying anything. "Erik?" The silence is broken when Meg comes back in.
"How good, you still have clothes on." She says as she walks around us to grab her purse. "Something wrong?" She asks, seeing the look on Erik's face. "Is he mad because you told me?" I nod my head. "Oh don't be mad at her, I made her tell me. Plus I won't tell anyone."
"You won't?" He asks, looking at her now.
"Of course not! And ruin my best friend's happiness? Hell no!" His face soften. "As long as you make her happy, I'll keep your secret." We both look at him.
"I plan on it." The smile returns to his face as he looks at me.
"Good now I hate to ruin this moment, but Christine and I have an appointment at the campus to get to." Groaning, I forgot about that. Erik steps back to let me hop off the counter.
"See you tonight?" I asks, hoping our plans are still good.
"Yes." He answers.
"Don't worry, I'll cover for her." Meg winks at me. She gives us a moment to kiss goodbye. He leaves at the same time we do, but the text messages continue. Now with plans for tonight, I just want the next few hours to come so I can be with him again.
