Chapter 15
"I would very much like to see you again, tonight was wonderful." Raoul said after our dinner had finished.
"Well, I must tell you, it was quite a lot of fun to me as well, but I am taken."
"Well, that doesn't mean we can't just be friends then, right?"
"No, I guess it doesn't." I said with a smile.
"Great! Can I take you to the park tomorrow?"
"Sure, for a picnic?"
"Of course my dear."
"Alright, Raoul. Thank you for a lovely evening."
Raoul took my hand and kissed it gently as I walked away. Climbing into the limo, I wasn't sure why but she kind of liked him. Not in a love sort of way, but a friend sort of way.
"You're home early, just as I asked." Erik said with a smile, "Your father is gone on business again, we are all alone."
"Before we start, I must tell you something."
"What is it, Christine?"
I took a deep breath and began.
"Well, Raoul wants to take me for a picnic tomorrow."
Erik sat down quietly.
"A date?"
"No, No! I told him I was taken. He said he just wants to be friends."
"Christine, I don't know. Something is incredibly odd about this. I don't feel comfortable with it. You just met him."
"I understand, I feel the same way, but then a part of me wants to get to know him. As a friend. He was very nice."
Erik looked at me and nodded.
"Be careful Angel."
