Chapter 5: Sweet Kisses
Meg gasped at what Erik had just said; she was so happy he felt the same way, just to make sure he wasn't fooling around or felt he had to say it meg asked him,
'Are you sure? You're not just saying that?'
Erik raised and eyebrow and leant forward so he was looking into her eyes, 'Of course I am sure, my dear, I love you with all my heart.' Erik sighed, 'I have known that I was going to fall in love with you since your fifteenth birthday when all your fellow ballet rats threw that surprise birthday party for you.' He smiled remembering that night very clearly in his mind.
Meg giggled and blushed a bit, 'Y-you saw that?' Meg remembered the part were she dressed up and did an impression of Carlotta.
'Yes my dear, I did', replied Erik, with that he pressed a light kiss on her forehead.
Erik stood up and held a hand out to Meg, 'You need your rest, you should be getting to bed.'

Meg awoke early the next morning, she had had a slightly unpleasant dream about being chased, but she didn't know what was chasing her, she couldn't see anything but she could feel and hear it.
Timidly Meg walked into Erik's room, to see he was still sleeping in his four poster bed and he didn't have a shirt on, Meg giggled almost silently, then elegantly glided over to his bed, and touched his shoulder, at that moment Erik slightly flinched but resumed sleeping. So Meg lay down next to him and saw he still wore his mask, she raised her hand to his face and removed the mask and held onto it.
A few minutes later Erik felt Meg's presence and awoke, noticing his mask wasn't on, he looked towards Meg,
'Where is it?'
'Right here, in my hand' Meg answered teasingly. 'You know i hate this thing.'
'Do you think I could have it back?' Erik said tickling her stomach.
In between laughs managed to answer 'If…You come…and…get it!' Meg jumped off the bed, still laughing and ran to the edge of the water and held out her hand, 'I'll drop it,' she playfully threatened. Running towards her maximum speed, which was very fast, Erik forcefully put his hands ran her waist, but it was a bit too forcefully, as they both tumbled into the deepest part of the water, they sank right to the bottom. Meg clung to Erik's shoulders, as he pushed them up to the surface, gasping for air Meg let out a little chuckle. Erik subtly rolled his eyes a little, but couldn't hold back from letting out a little laugh. After a moment they're eyes locked into a dreamy gaze, Erik leaned his head towards Meg's and passionately kissed her while sinking back under the water. Theyre kissed continued until they both needed oxygen.
After having a bath Meg wandered into the kitchen where Erik was standing preparing breakfast. Erik sensed she was standing behind him, 'Meg, I was wondering if you could sing.' Meg was startled at his words. Of course she couldn't sing, hence why she was a ballet dancer not an opera singer for the Opera Populaire. 'Me? Nooo!' she smirked 'Definitely not!' she laughed.
'Why don't you think you can sing Meg?' He asked, interested.
'Well, you'd see if you heard me, I swear I cracked a pane of glass once,' she said carrying the pancakes to the table.
'Oh I doubt it, such a beauty like you? I don't think it's impossible, I think you should sing for me after breakfast.'
Meg panicked, shed never sung to anybody before,
'Oh I don't know Erik…'
don't make me sing…don't make me sing….
'You have nothing to worry about, you shouldn't feel embarrassed infront of me.'
Meg slightly blushed and smiled.
'I can't teach you to sing, the quality has to be there already, but I can expand the quality of your voice. Anyway, the routine of life down here, must be getting rather boring for you…' But before he could finished Meg interrupted,
'No Erik, life could never get boring with you!' After they had finished there pancakes, Meg collected the dishes and headed for the sink to clean them, but Erik abruptly stopped her, he didn't want her to feel she had to clean up around the lair. She wasn't a maid.
Erik lead Meg to his organ, 'What songs of the opera do you know?'
'Um…Think of me, a few from the production of Il Muto…'
'Ok, lets start with think of me…' Erik saw Meg start to worry and placed a warm hand her cheek before playing the introduction…
Meg had finished the whole song, 'You definitely have it my dear, the quality is there, you're voice could develop to sound like an angel's.' Meg blushed and kissed Erik on his cheek, she then skipped into her room to get dressed. A few minutes later Erik heard Meg call his name, so he entered her room. 'Could you do my dress up for me, please?'
'Of course my dear.' He took the laces from her corset and started doing them up,
'Your voice truly is quite beautiful at the moment,' Erik said flattering Meg,
Meg giggled 'God…the last time I properly sang to someone was years ago,'
'How old were you?'
'I must have been about 13.' She said, remembering the day she auditioned to be a chorus girl for the Opera.'
'You must have been an attractive girl…' Erik said in a low, sexy voice.
'I'm glad you've realised,' Meg said as she turned around to look in his eyes, Erik couldn't resist the temptation and held her face in his hands to deeply kiss her there were lust and passion in his eyes that made it obvious to what he wanted. They both fell back onto Megs velvet covered bed…
Couldnt help but include the under water kiss!
