Chapter 4
We were sitting in silence. I was sitting in a chair with my legs crossed, glaring over at Erik, who was standing across the room, trying to avoid my angry glances.
Erik got frustrated with my glares and bellowed, "I told that I would sing a song but I did not know the one you requested!"
I stood up hastily. "Well ya could've learned it! But did you offer that? Nooo, you had to a big meanie and say, 'Ohh, sorry I don't know that one.' Well ya know what…" I stomped my foot, waiting for something to come, but when nothing did, I sat back down and continued shaking my foot impatiently.
"I do know plenty of other songs," Erik said quietly. "Would you prefer for me to sing a piece from Hannibal? Or Il Muto?"
I furrowed my brow at him. "Do you honestly think that I will know anything from either of those musicals? Oh, I think not, Erik."
I stuck my tongue out at him when he turned back around. He must've noticed something, for he turned around and looked at me. Putting on a blank face, I said, "What? I didn't do anything." Giving me a slight glare, he turned back around. As soon as he did I made an obscene gesture at him partnered with a dirty look. Right after I finished this movement, Erik once more turned around and looked at me. Once again, I gave him a blank look and started whistling.
"Would you stoop that atrocious noise!" Erik demanded.
My whistle slowed and finally ended on the last note.
"And that is not music, I tell you," Erik continued. "That noise that came out of your mouth was only that, noise."
"Uh, no. It was a great song in the nineties. And many people still love it today! Or at least… from my time…"
"Really? Then play it for me or sing it, rather."
"Yes! I get to sing to the Phantom," I sang joyously as I danced around. Calming down a bit, I began to sing the upbeat song, while adding little dance movements of my own.
I like big butts and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny
When a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist
And a round thing in your face you get sprung!
Wanna pull up front cuz ya noticed that butt was stuffed
Even the jeans she's wearin
I'm hooked and I can't stop starin
Oh baby, I wanna get with ya and take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got make me so horny
Rub her smooth….
"Stop! Stop!" Erik cried out. "That song, if I can even call it that, was the most horrendous, improper thing that I have ever heard!"
"Well, it may be a bit atrocious, but it has an awesome beat."
"I do not care if it has the most wonderful beat ever! I cannot believe that you would even consider singing a song like that!"
"Well, excuse moi!" I said while placing my hand on my chest. "But I think that I can sing whatever song I please, and nobody will tell me otherwise! Even if it is my most wonderful, hot, sexy, tall, dark, mysterious, masked, man of my dreams!" I continued while running towards Erik with my arms out ready for a hug.
Looking at me like I was the craziest person alive, Erik at first slowly began to back away from me. But when he saw that I was coming at him at a rather fast pace, he turned and fled.
"Oh come back!" I yelled while still running after him. "Just please, let me hug you… and touch you! Please?"
He did not saying anything, but just kept as far away from me as possible. When I finally realized that he would not let me have any physical contact with him, I pouted and then hung my head. Sadly, I walked slowly away from Erik and went and sat down on the stone floor with my head rested on my knees.
I could sense that Erik was unsure on whether or not he should approach me; I could hear his uncertain footsteps from behind me. But slowly Erik gave in and came over to me. When I saw his feet by me, I jumped up and gave him a huge hug. Erik felt me on him and tensed every muscle in his body. I knew that he had never been hugged before, and that this movement would somewhat freak him out, but still, I wanted to savor the moment
Me hugging the Phantom… what many joys it gave me.
