Chapter 3
A month passed so quickly after Erik arrived. Everyday, I had a strict schedule which included school in the morning, and then his lessons quickly following until dinner. After dinner, he would sit with me in my room and tell me stories of his past experiences until I fell asleep. And every night, he would give me a kiss on the forehead, close the light, and leave.
I don't know how to describe the feeling I have for this man. Ever since he came to my house, I have felt drawn to him, like a spell was over me. All day at school, I found myself wanting to see him again, wishing he was with me even there. Then I understood. I loved him. I loved him more than I could have ever imagined.
"Christine?" Mr. Destler said from behind my door.
"Yes, you can come in."
He opened the door quietly and stepped inside towards me.
"I was wondering if you wanted to have lessons in your room tonight."
"Sure!" I said excitedly.
He smiled at my enthusiasm and told me to start my scales. As I did, he stood in front of me watching my breathing patterns.
"Very good. Now, let's start your song."
"I have never felt like this, for once I'm lost for words, your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all, I never thought I'd know the kind of love you've shown me.
Now no matter where I am, no matter what I do, I see your face appearing.
Like an unexpected song, an unexpected song, that only we are hearing.
I don't know what's going on, can't work it out at all, whatever made you choose me.
I just can't believe my eyes, you look at me as though you couldn't bear to loose me.
Now no matter where I am, no matter what I do, I see your face appearing.
Like an unexpected song, and unexpected song that only we are hearing.
I have never felt like this, for once I'm lost for words, your smile has really thrown me.
This is not like me at all, I never thought I'd know the kind of love you've shown me.
Now no matter where I am, no matter what I do, I see your face appearing.
Like an unexpected song, an unexpected song, that only we are hearing.
Like an unexpected song, an unexpected song, that only we are hearing."
Mr. Destler's face beamed with delight.
"You are ready for the stage."
