Chapter 7 Visitor
The next morning Erik and Meg woke in a sweet embrace, under the dark velvet sheets, so Erik got up and made them breakfast in bed, they soon ate it and got dressed. A few hours later, Erik was sitting do at his organ scribbling something down on a piece of paper, when meg touched his shoulder and kissed him on the cheek.
'Will you sing for me, Meg?'
'Me? Again?'
'Yes, again, I like hearing your voice, it's naturally beautiful.' He smiled, 'and so are you,' and kissed her passionately on the lips. Gosh Meg thought I'm just too lucky to have him, I know I will wake up soon and this will be one big dream.
'Well, if you put it that way…' Meg said pouting. So Erik started to play an introduction to a new song he had written called 'Never Alone'
And soon enough Meg was singing it beautifully,
I waited for you today….
But you didn't show,
I needed you today,
So where did you go?
You told me to call,
Said you'd be there,
And though I haven't seen you,
Are you still there?
I cried out with no reply,
And I can't feel you,
By my side,
So I'll hold tight to what I no,
You're here and I'm never alone.
And though I cannot see you,
And I can't explain why,
Such a deep, deep reassurance,
You've placed in my life,
We cannot separate because your part of me,
And though you're invisible,
I'll trust the unseen,
I cried out with no reply,
And I can't feel you,
By my side,
So I'll hold tight to what I no,
Your here and I'm never alone,
We cannot separate your part of me,
And though you're invisible,
I'll trust the unseen,
I cried out with no reply,
And I can't feel you,
By my side,
So I'll hold tight to what I no,
Your here and I'm never alone.
The song had finished and Erik looked breath-taken, 'I wrote it for you' he said smiling,
'Oh, Erik! Thank you so much!' With that she leapt onto his lap and embraced him enthusiastically. Erik buried his face in her soft hair. 'I hope it shows just how much I love you,' he whispered.
'Yes it does, I love you so much…' Just as she had finished speaking, Meg heard foot steps over the other side of the lair, there was a girl standing there! It looked like….it was Christine!
'Chr…Christine, is that you!' Meg asked standing up, she saw the girl faintly nod
'Is that you Meg?' She asked,
'Yes, yes it is me!'
Erik stood up, and he and Meg stood in the Gondola and rowed over to her, it was definitely Christine,
'Christine, what…what's going on?' asked Erik, but he didn't need to say anything as the question was displayed on his face.
'Christine, I thought you and Raoul, we're dead…?' Meg said quietly,
'No! Definitely not! Raoul and I are married!' she said excitedly, but then regretted her words, forgetting Erik was there. 'Why are you here Meg?'
'Me and Erik, are…' Meg started to explain but was interrupted by Christine,
'You're…you two are together!'
'Yes,' they both said smiling at one another; Meg didn't like the look on Christine's face.
'How, when, why?...' Christine looked like she had seen a ghost,
'Since a few months ago,' Meg missed the part out about explaining how they got together; it wasn't a good idea to tell her just yet, 'Anyway, how did you find me?' It was Christine's turn to give some answers,
'No-one knew where you were, we had looked all over Paris for you, and this was the only place left to look, when are you going to come home?' Christine smiled genuinely,
'I'm not, I love it here with Erik, plus the opera populaire was my home' Meg looked up at Erik to see that he was smiling back down at her,
'Dear Vicomptess, why don't you go home to Monsieur Rat Bag, and leave Meg and I alone?'
'Monsieur de Chagny, actually, and I'm not leaving Meg here, Erik, I know you and me we didn't have a very good farewell, but…' She was interrupted,
'Spare me the apologies, I forgave you a long time ago, I couldn't of condemned you to a life time of darkness with me, down here,' Erik said, looking around the candlelit lair.
'Thank-you Erik, that…that really does mean a lot to me,' trying to get noticed Meg put her arm around Erik's waist, luckily Erik gave her a kiss on the forehead,
'Really, Christine, I'm happier than have ever been before since I've been with Erik, we love each other,'
'Ok then Meg, if you're sure, good luck, to both of you…' Christine said smiling, 'You're a perfect couple, I hope to see you soon,' she gave Meg a hug and started to walk back to the entrance of her old dressing room.
Meg and Erik shared a deep passionate kiss, and then decided to go out for a meal at the restaurant ran by an old friend of Erik's. So Meg got changed into a dark red corset dress, with black lace over skirt, that was supposed to drag along the floor, ad Erik got changed into a white shirt, with a black waistcoat, black trousers and a long black formal jacket. Ah, black his favourite colour.
Meg put her pinned her hair up letting a few golden ringlets drop leisurely onto her small shoulders.
Soon enough they were sat at a candlelit table. The décor of the restaurant was extravagant, dark red curtains hung from the windows, the walls were painted cream, with a red rims travelling around the room. Meg and Erik ordered the same meal, consisting of chicken vigil, with cheese-sauce and a small salad, as soon as they had finished the meal, their desert arrived, Meg's was a fruit cocktail with light crème, and syrup, and Erik's was a slice of their infamous dark chocolate and raspberry cake.
Oh my God, I can't believe I'm going to do this, but I love her too much to hold off now…
Erik held Meg's hands in his own, 'Meg, you know I love you, with all my heart, and I can just hope you feel the same way…'
'You know I do,' Meg said smiling warmly, and leaning over to him and giving him a small kiss on the lips,
'These few months have been the happiest of my life…' Erik said reaching into his pocket, and getting down onto his knee, he pulled out a small golden box and opened it.
Placed on the tiniest cushion Meg had ever seen, there was a golden band, with 3 little diamonds placed on the top,
'Meg Giry, will you marry me?' Meg's first reaction was utter shock, but that soon turned into the most excitement she had ever felt,
'Yes!' Meg said at the top of her lungs, making all the people in the restaurant turn around to look at the two lovers, and realising what just happened they smiled warmly and clapped, making Erik very happy, that they hadn't judged him at the sight of his mask,
'Yes, of course I will marry you!' Meg's eyes filled with happy tears as they kissed
eachother passionately. They walked home hand in hand ready for the next days wedding arrangements.
