Right
Where I Belong
Chapter 3
Raoul strode into the Opera Populare with determination. He would show Miss Christine Daae that he was not one to pine over a girl for very long! He quickly found the ballet dormitories, and was delighted to find Meg stretching by herself in the large room. He casually leaned against the door, just in view of the mirror so that Meg would notice him. Meg DID notice him, and gasped. "Meg. How are you?" Raoul asked in a husky voice. "It's Miss Giry to you, Viscount!" Meg said shrilly. Her mother had told her of what had happened; how Christine had left Raoul for her Angel of Music. Personally, Meg was very pleased for Christine because she though Raoul was a much conceded man. "Very well then...Miss Giry. How are you?" "I was better before you came here." She replied, having a feeling of why he was there. "Well, I just wanted to know if you would like to join me for dinner at my mansion tonight Miss Giry." Raoul asked, thinking that Meg would not refuse such an offer. "Viscount. I WILL not go ANYWHERE with you. You are trying to make Christine upset by asked her best friend out. Just because I'm a year younger than Christine is, doesn't mean I'm stupid. I will NOT go out with you, ANYTIME OR ANYWHERE! Now leave before I go and get my mother!" Meg screamed. It was fortunate that the door was open and her screaming could be heard, because her mother came running in at that very moment. "Viscount." Madam Giry shouted at him. "Leave my daughter and all the other girls working here alone. Yes, I know that Christine left you, but she is with a better person now. I can see that you would not have been faithful to her. You would have been out with other women at any and all hours of the day, other than at night when you had her in your bed. I'm glad that Christine made the choice to stay." Raoul gaped at her. How would SHE know about Christine's choice? "Yes, I know that she rejected you at the last moment. I have heard from her, and she has clearly stated that you not return to this opera house. Now leave and never return or I will personally have the Opera Ghost deal with you, and believe me, you don't want that." Madam Girly said firmly, while escorting him to the door. Raoul left, but unwillingly, and vowed in his mind to get back into the Opera Populare and win back Christine's heart, not matter what, and no 'Opera Ghost' would stop him!
I thought that this bit of Raoul bashing would be fun, especially since I think that he's too much like a little boy for Christine anyway.
Well, R&R Please!
Thanks a lot!
