Christine arrived at the new restaurant within minutes. Raoul was talking but Christine wasn't listening. Erik had never been angry with her before. But what he said is perhaps unforgivable! Raoul noticed that she was responding.
'Christine are you all right? You seem very…distracted by something."
"What? Oh no I just had a fight with one of the people in the opera house and I still just trying to figure out why they said what they did."
"What
did they say?"
'None of your business! Oh…I'm so sorry
Raoul I just haven't been myself lately. I've had a lot on my
mind."
"It's ok Christine." He leaned in and kissed her.
She slapped him.
"What are you doing? I am not yours! My heart is not yours! I am leaving! Goodnight Mousier de Chaney! I hope that we do not cross paths again!"
She ran out of the restaurant crying. What would Erik do if he ever found out? She knew Raoul was running after her. She finally stopped and let Raoul catch up.
"Christine I'm sorry I didn't…"
"Yes well I'm sorry too! You should have never been so forward! You should win my heart fairly! Not just assume that I will fall in love with you in one kiss!"
" You can't tell me that you didn't like that kiss even a little."
The truth was…she did. "No!" she said, "My heart has already been won and not by you!"
"Who? Who has won that heart of yours that I so dearly want?"
"That is none of your business! And it never will be!"
Out of nowhere he kissed her again, long and hard a lovers kiss. She backed away but this time she felt strange and warm. She couldn't help but kiss him again…
