"Cat I said for you to be here at seven not after." Andre groaned as Firmin was on the phone talking with Christine's contract company. She shrugged- she had finished fighting Erik and then taken on Meg for more training only to be interrupted by Joseph. After collecting several assignments for her to finish off while she stayed in LA.
"By the way," added Firmin,"you have a new pianist to accompany you. He's special from head quarters and what I've heard he's pretty cute."
"How can we trust him though? No one knows besides us who I really am. Except for Madame and her daughter."
"He can be trusted. And actually-" he stopped as he heard a knock on the door. "I think he's here right now." He went to the other room to open the door, and she could hear voices.
"I do hope that she is as good as the contractors say she is. If I am to train her voice as well." Christine let out a gasp. She knew who that was...
"Cat, this is Erik" She saw his eyes widen in recognition.
"Cat? But you told me your name was Christine." Christine shrugged.
"Same difference." Erik tried his best not to roll his eyes in annoyance.
"Well it seems that we will be stuck together for a time, Cat. So I suggest that you get out the music you are working on for your performance." He stated as he walked towards the keyboard that had previously been set up. As he began fluidly playing6 note chords, Christine stared at his piano hands, the long fingers, caressing the ivory keys.
"And now, let the opera begin." he said muttering under his breath ashe site read the music.
AN: hey okay so it's short, I know I'm sorry... but the next one will be even better.
