Chapter Seven
The Strange Duet/The Surprise Guest
Christine awoke very well rested, with Erik asleep next to her in a chair.
"Erik, how long have I been sleeping?" She asked, bur he did not wake up. "Erik, wake up!"
her yelling woke him and he jumped up out of the chair. "Yes?"
"How long have I been sleeping?"
"Two days now."
"Wow. No wonder I feel rested."
Erik got up and walked out of the room to his organ. He sat down and realized that he now had his inspiration back.
He began playing.
Christine joined him to listen to the song more closely.
Could it be? It was.
He started to sing:
Sing once again with me, our strange duet…He cut off and looked at her as if he were inviting her to sing with him.
The song ended and he started another. This one he started singing right away.
She knew this song.
He sang:
You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge. In pursuit of that wish which till now has been silent, silent. I have brought you that our passions may fuse and merge. In your mind you've already succumbed to me dropped all defenses completely succumbed to me. Now you are here with me no second thoughts. You've decided, decided.
Past the point of no return. No backward glances. Our games of make believe are at an end. Past all thoughts of "if" or "when." No use resisting. Abandon thought and let the dream descend.
What raging fires shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us?
Pass the point of no return. The final threshold. What warm unspoken secrets will we learn beyond the point of no return?
She continued:
You have brought me to that moment when words run dry. To that moment when speech disappears into silence, silence. I have come here hardly knowing the reason why. In mind I've already imagined our bodies entwining defenseless and silent. Now I am here with you no second thoughts. I've decided, decided.
Pass the point of no return. No going back now. Our passion play has now at last begun. Pass all thought of right or wrong. One final question. How long should we two wait before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race? The sleeping blood burst into bloom? When will the flames at last consume us?
He joined her:
Past the point of no return. The final threshold. The bridge is crossed so stand and watch it burn. We've past the point of no return.
He stood up and embraced her passionately. She leaned up and they locked lips not really realizing what was happening.
They were caught up in the moment.
There was a splash behind them. They broke apart.
Christine was the first one to turn around. She gasped.
This made Erik turn around to find…
I know suspense. I love torturing my readers. The next chapter will hopefully have you up on your feet.
