Chapter 2-Christine's POV
Erik went into his room. I knew I should avoid him hearing my sobs, so I went into my room. My room. The room Erik made for me. It was expensive looking but I remember when I first entered it and Erik said that nothing was too expensive for me. There was a queen size bed in the middle of the room against the wall. The bed was so soft, with its Italian sheets and comforter. Looking in the room to the right was a vanity table and a grand mirror made of gold. It reminded me of the one I have or probably had in the opera house. Also, on the left looking in was a big wooden armoire with marble handles that have little flower designs on them. I feel like a princess in this room.
I walked over to the mirror and realized that the wedding gown I was wearing, that Erik gave me to put on, was just too much to be wearing. I unzipped the back, revealing only my undergarments. I hung up the dress and grabbed a robe, but before I could put it on, Erik knocked and walked right in. When he saw me, he didn't say anything he just walked quickly out. I put on my robe and walked out after him.
I found him staring down at the fireplace. "Erik?" I asked and he quickly turned around and straightened himself up.
"Christine", he began, "I want to apologize for, well I didn't mean to." he said but I quickly interrupted him. "Erik, its fine, really." But he only looked a little relieved. He looked to the ground and didn't say anything, neither did I. I was hoping the silence would be broken because it felt kind of odd just standing here like this.
"Christine, I want to apologize for the way I acted, I think you had every reason to be upset." He said in such a way that I thought was sweet and sincere, but that's just like Erik.
"Erik it wasn't right to yell at you the way I did, I know that, so I have my reasons to be sorry also." I said and he nodded in understanding.
"I would like very much to take you out tomorrow night for a nice dinner." He said and I smiled, I didn't even know he went out that often, wouldn't he mind people seeing him? "I would like that, if you are sure you want to." I said.
"Are you referring to my appearance in public?" he asked. I make it sound like that. I knew it. "No, well maybe." I said. "Christine, I have my ways of doing things, you should know that." He said and I nodded in agreement because there was no way he could get all this with never have entering the outside world.
"Well, you probably want to rest, so I will see you in the morning, good night Christine." He said and walked towards his room.
"Good night Erik." I said and walked slowly towards my room and closed the door.
I took off my robe and put on my nightgown. I pulled back the comforter and the top sheet of the bed. I got into the bed and pulled the covers over me. I closed the light, laid my head back and Erik immediately appeared right into my mind, I kept him there until I fell asleep. Every memory of ours was in my mind, even the one were we shared our first kiss.
