So you guys like my flirty Erik, eh? Well then here it goes!
Hollie, thanx again:)))
Chapter 5
'How is the most beautiful patient of world today?' Erik asked entering Christine's room on a wheelchair one week after the accident. He was dressed in street-clothes so Christine frowned.
'I'm getting better thanks. But why are you wearing street-clothes, are you going home?' Christine panicked. She really didn't want him to go home. They got on very well and they became friends quickly. They could talk about everything and nothing or just simply sit together by the window enjoying the beams of the sun. Christine was surprised to see that Erik could easily make her forget about Raoul. He always flirted with her and rained her with compliments. And he was just so damn hot.
'Yes, I'm going home finally. I really started to get sick of this place.' Erik saw Christine's expression, it was clear that she was upset about his leaving. And Erik too was somewhat sad because he enjoyed Christine's company as well. 'But don't worry Honey, I'll visit you if I can.'
'Really? And how? You'll jump here on one leg from your home or what?'
Erik chuckled, he loved this Christine. It was arousing to see her in this state. And because of him.
'What's so funny?' Christine demanded.
'Nothing Honey. It's just good to see that you'll miss me. I'm flattered.' Erik smiled seductively and Christine had no chance to be angry with him.
'You're dangerous, you know?' she asked smiling and shaking her head.
'And why is that?'
'A man who knows that he's handsome and plays upon it is always dangerous.'
'So you think I'm handsome, Honey?' he asked leaning towards her. His lips were so close to Christine's, just a few inches and they would be kissing.
'Yes, you are' Christine whispered.
'Good' Erik said settled leaning back in his chair. Christine blushed and turned away not daring to meet his eyes. 'Well then, Honey I've got to go. See you sometime.' He took Christine's hand and placed a lingering kiss upon it. As he went out from the room he smiled to himself. He was happy that Christine was disappointed when he didn't kiss her. Actually he was too but he would have never admitted it. He was far too proud to confess his feelings. But deep inside he hoped that perhaps finally Christine will take the first step. She just needed a push.
'Erik, I thought that perhaps you changed your mind and won't go home' Nadir greeted him at the elevator.
'Are you kidding? I'll be the happiest man on Earth if I get away from here.'
The two disappeared in the elevator. Several nurses watched sadly as their favourite patient left the building. No more compliments, no more flirting. But at least he was all right.
------------------------------
Christine just looked into the nothingness after Erik had left the room. 'What the hell just happened?' she was terribly upset. 'Who does he think he is! My God, I almost kissed him! K-I-S-S-E-D!'
She was still fuming when Meg arrived to visit her.
'Hi Christine!' she greeted. 'How are you today?'
'I'm perfectly fine' Christine barked.
'Wo-ho what's up girl? Are you having you cycle?'
'No, I'm not!' Christine nearly shouted.
'Good day girls!' Brooke said cheerfully as she entered the room to check on Christine. 'How do you feel?'
'Be careful!' Meg warned her. 'Today she's pretty moody.'
'Who's not?' Brooke laughed. 'The sex-god has just gone home, everybody's mourning.'
'Oh…' Meg smiled knowingly. If a single glance could kill, she and Brook would have been surely dead.
'Everything is fine' Brooke stated after checking her blood-pressure and temperature. 'I guess that you can go home within a few days. Have a nice day' she said as she went out the door.
When the door closed Meg burst out laughing. She couldn't believe that her friend was over Raoul this quickly. Although she had to admit that with a guy like Erik was it wasn't too hard.
'Soooo what's between you two?' Meg asked curiously.
'Nothing, and Meg please drop this topic!' Christine was nearly crying.
'Hey, you can tell me what's wrong' Meg said calmly, she could see now that something wasn't good. But before Christine could answer the door burst open and Brooke went in carrying an enormous bouquet of red roses.
'This has just arrived for you Chris' she said putting the flowers down on the bedside table.
'Look, here's a card for it' Meg was jumping up and down. 'Open it!'
'What for?' Christine asked bored. 'Surely Raoul is trying to be the nice guy.'
Uninterested Christine opened the little envelope which hid the card but as soon as she read it her face broke in a huge grin.
'What's in it?' the other two asked in union. Christine showed them and several 'awwwww's approved it's matter.
Honey, you know I love you
812-542-1000
'So are you so moody that I can't even talk to you?' Meg asked smiling from ear to ear.
'Nope' Christine answered still grinning like a child who had just got the doll she wanted.
'Great! So let's talk about something!'
The three girls chatted for hours but all that Christine could think was to be alone and call Erik up. Maybe he really wasn't that playboy she thought he was.
-----------------------------
Erik was sitting in his comfortable sofa reading a book when his cell phone rang. He smiled because although he didn't know the number of the caller he was pretty sure who it was. Using his sexiest voice he answered.
'Hello?' He could hear someone swallowing on the other end of the line and he smiled to himself.
'Umm… Erik?' said the familiar voice.
'Who else could be Honey? So I guess you've got my little present. I know I was such a jerk today, I'm sorry.'
'Uhh… it doesn't matter, really' Christine stuttered. 'God, even his voice makes me lose my mind!'
'Good, I'm relieved. I didn't want our relationship to end like that. Actually I don't want it to end at all.'
'Really?' Christine asked timidly.
'Yes, really. Or do you think it otherwise?' Erik already knew her answer but he needed to hear it from herself.
'No!' she said a bit too loudly and Erik chuckled.
'I hoped so. By the way when can you come out from the hospital? We could meet.'
'Umm… Brooke said that a few days and I'll be free. But I'll have to rest so I don't know if I'll be able to go to anywhere.'
'Surely if I send somebody for you, you can come and visit me.'
'You mean in your flat?' Christine's voice became weak from the simple thought of being with Erik in his flat alone.
'Yes, but of course if you don't want to….'
'No, I'd love to go!' she quickly interrupted. 'I….I'll call you up when I'm out, okay?'
'I can't wait for it, Honey.'
Christine hung up without saying goodbye and buried her head in the pillow. She was blushing and giggling like a teenage girl. 'YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!' she screamed into the pillow and soon she was asleep. Too many things happened in one day to hack it without fatigue.
Erik was grinning like a high-school boy and his brain already worked on the possibilities of how to reshape his home to sweep Christine off her feet. 'Everything has to be perfect' he thought. 'Perfect with the perfect woman.'
Awwww... they both have a crush...
Anyway, review and Erik will go for a walk with you in the park, hand-in-hand. Don't and you'll get punjabbed.
