A/N: Oops! I updated this one day late! Sorry ya'll! My internet line was down for the day! Well, here's the EC fluff! I dunno if I made it THAT fluffy but I just LOVE to see this couple fooling around together! IT'S TRES CUTE! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I will own a car! I will own a house! I will own a husband (I think)! But I will never own the POTO and the 2004 movie! Aww, shucks...
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
intoxicated by eriks music: Hey Savy! LOL! Enjoyed your update! Fabbity Fab! The FOP in the lake? LOL! I dunno when he'll be down at the lair but should be soon!
SliverSummerMoon: Thanks so much for your long review! I can't believe you actually took the time to write it! Well, actually. When I first saw Raoul on the screen, I thought "Whoa, he's cute!" but when I saw Erik leading Christine through the mirror, "Forget Raoul, that is so yummy!" LOL! Ofcourse! Erik had has the best seducive vocal I have ever heard! Yes, he called Erik a thing! OMG! That's so mean isn't it? Well, at least he did give up (hopefully) in the previous chapter after some bashing from Meg! GO MEG! You know what, I myself will never understand why Christine chose Raoul! And that kiss you are referring to, I agree 100 ! I mean, the way she kissed him was so much more passionate! AND SHE KISSED HIM FOR THE SECOND TIME! I'm sure that means, something! LOL! It's okie, I lovedreading your long review! I hope you read the first fic before this sequel! Enjoy this chapter!
Erik-Meister: Yes, so now we know ladies (silence) that the Le Fop Moron has actually a brain and he uses it for once! With a little push from Meg ; )
lost girl 29: Good! I shall be looking forward to see it! And I hope you enjoy this chapter! Meg always needed to say a few things to Raoul anyway. LOL!
Lady Skywalker: You know, come to think of it, you're right! Raoul is teeny tiny little weeny bit huggable in this chapter. You'd have to let someone go after awhile. And it's kinda sad because I think Raoul did really love Christine. But heck, Erik loves her EVEN MORE!
WashoopiCandi: Well, you don't have to miss it! They are back! And maybe a sleeping Meg in the corner!
Happiness Fooled: LOL! I don't know if there will be no more Raoul but I can assure that we can hear the last of his obsessions! (I hope...I myself am uncertain of his future actions) We'll never know what goes on in the brain of a Le Fop Moron!
Phantom-ErikLover666: It's kinda sweet that your ex-bf was like that. : ) Ooh! I would so love to meet a guy who is actually like Erik! Imagine the passionate love! LOL!
xAdenX: You know, I said already. I myself am uncertain. Maybe he's secretly plotting again. I guess I'll have to wait too! But for now, it's Christine and Erik's time to shine...AGAIN! Let the couple reign the screen again! LOL!
PhanFan: Ooh, actually. I'm not sure wheter to make only 10 Chapters or maybe more. Perhaps more likely 10! I'm glad you enjoyed the first story as well!
KittenGaL6264: Here is the update you wanted!
BroadwayGirl257: Ass-Kicking Raoul was funnn! Well, here is your E and C! LOL! I can't wait for your Chapter 4! Your story is hilariously amazing! I envy your ideas! You so rock! Rock more than me! You go girl!
eternalmasquerade: Thanks so much for reading the first story! Thanks for reviewing and be sure to check back soon because I always update everyday! Well, almost!
The Reason is You
That day, Christine had spent her entire time in her old dressing room, changing and cleaning everything that was there.
She dusted the table, cleared the wardrobe and smoothen out her old performance dresses.
She skipped dinner to polish the mirror as it had gotten quiet dirty.
Christine also kept watch to see if Erik was there and tried to come through the mirror but thankfully she didn't, so there would be no – disturbances. (LOL! That would be interesting if she had any disturbances, wouldn't it?)
But when she saw that Erik had left a red rose with a black ribbon tied around it, she picked it up and smiled.
Then, she kissed it before putting it in her hair.
Finally, she returned to the bedroom to retire later that night.
When she opened the bedroom door, she saw Meg already sleeping soundly on the other bed.
She closed the door quietly and tiptoed over to her bag to take out the things she needed to use to wash up.
Christine then slipped on her nightdress as quietly as possible, trying not to wake Meg. Gently, she took of the rose that she put in her hair and laid it on the night table nearby.
Then, she blew out the candle and got under the covers to fall asleep.
Suddenly, a few minutes later, she was awoken by a soft creaking of the room door closing.
Thinking it was Madame Giry, she pulled the covers further over her head.
When it was tugged away from her, Christine immediately sat up and stared into the darkness of the room.
What's going on?
"Move aside a bit…" a taunting voice whispered in her ear.
Christine flinched and she felt someone bumping her to the side of the wall beside the bed.
"Erik! What are you – "
Erik kissed her playfully on the lips and he lay down pulling her on top of him.
"Erik, if Meg wakes up – "
"She wont, don't worry. I checked on her and she's snoring like she can sleep through a blizzard!" Erik assured.
Christine blushed as she felt Erik's arms around her waist.
Erik himself felt the warmth of Christine body on his.
"How did you find me in this darkness? I can barely see you!"
"Have you forgotten your Angel is also and still is the Phantom of the Opera…I live and see in the darkness," Erik whispered.
Christine felt Erik gently pushing her down until she felt her lips meeting his.
Then, between that long kiss, Christine whispered between their lips, "Erik?"
"Yes, Angel?"
"I think the bed will break if we both lay on it…Apparently someone weighs a ton and it's definitely not me…" Christine teased.
Erik poked Christine a little and she giggled.
Then, Erik mischievously began to move to the back of her corset and wanted to remove it.
But just before he managed to, Christine managed to push him out of the bed.
"Erik! You know we can't! At least not here! Meg will hear us!"
Erik landed on his back and he stood up, groaning slightly, "That hurt…"
"You better go back Erik. If Meg wakes up, I'll be so embarrassed! What if Madame Giry comes in to check on us, then you and I will be in serious – "
Erik kissed her lips softly and said, "That's a lot of 'ifs', Angel…"
Then, Christine felt Erik take her and he said seductively, "Come to me Angel…I will let you live as you have never before…"
Christine shuddered when she heard his seductive voice whispering like he did when he sang to her every time, especially their duet in their performance long ago of Don Juan.
"Erik, I can't! It's late and I'm so – "
"Angel, don't make me do the unthinkable…"
Christine gasped, "Erik, don't you dare! I will – "
Christine squealed softly as she felt Erik's strong arms lifting her up by both hands in carrying position. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck.
As they went out into the corridor and he closed the door, Christine asked, "Where are you taking me, Erik?"
Erik grinned, "It's a secret, Angel. You will know when we get there…"
Erik gave a mischievous wink that made Christine blush and send chills up her spine.
Finally, as Erik walked up the steps, she realized that they were going to the rooftop.
When, they arrived there, Erik put Christine down, right next to the big horse statue.
A/N: Refreshing the memory that it was the same one which Erik hid behind during the "All I Ask of You" scene and the one in my story where Erik saw Christine came back to the Opera House in the Chapter 4.
"Why are we here?" Christine asked.
Erik put his arm around Christine and stared out into the night of the city.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Erik asked.
Christine smiled, "Yes…it is…"
"I come up here very night and sit right there…" Erik pointed at the small space at the side of the statue.
Then, Christine saw a mischievous fire dancing in his eyes.
Erik held Christine closer and he caressed her face.
"You know you can't resist it…" Erik grinned.
Then, he sang so gently and so softly that Christine felt like she was in a trance:
A/N: The seductiveness is getting kind of predictable, isn't it: ) Well, that's just Erik!
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
to change who I used to be
a reason to start over new
and the reason is you
Erik slid his other hand, which wasn't holding Christine's, slid up to her waist again that Christine felt her face flushing.
She sang back to Erik in a different song:
All I want is freedom
A world with no more lies. .
And you always beside me to hold me
and to hide me . . .
"And that I will promise you…" Erik said and his kissed Christine's forehead.
Erik took out something shiny from his pocket and grinned, "Remember this…?"
Christine gasped when she saw it was the ring.
"I thought…I thought I lost it!"
Christine now remembered. That morning when she met Erik again down in the catacombs, she had been actually worn the ring on her finger.
Then, when Erik held her in his arms in the boat, it must have slipped from her and dropped on his boat.
"Christine, it is your choice this time…I will not force you no longer like I did before…" Erik said and he gently placed the ring in Christine's palm.
Only the wind of the cold night was heard as Christine looked at the ring.
Then, Christine slowly slipped the ring onto her finger and said before she kissed him:
I saw your loneliness
I will share in your emptiness
No one would listen
No one but me
Erik felt his heart wanted to sing.
She had chosen to marry him freely!
She was going to live with him till the end of their days.
She was finally going to lead him from his solitude…
Then, when they parted, Christine remembered something.
I must go -
they'll wonder where I am . . .
Come with me, Erik…
Christine, I love you…
Wait for me till I come, be with me at the door!
And soon you'll be beside me…
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
"You remember what I said…You won't be safe from me Christine…Not anymore…" Erik whispered as he carried Christine down the steps again.
Then, the two lovers left the rooftop, knowing that finally things were going to be alright…
Say you'll share with me
One love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you...
Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning...
A/N: Whoo! How did you like that simple, yet cute proposal! I mean come on, I really found that song suitable for Erik to sing! I'm currently on Chapter 10 right now. Let me say, Chapter 9 and 10 and the longest Chapters I have ever written so far! Love you guys! REVIEW PLS! THANKS 'AITE!
