Hey everyone thanks for the awesome reviews and keep them up. I had some time on my hands so decided to add the next chapter I know Christine's emotions are confusing at times but she's a woman lolol. Well enjoy and keep reading…
Later on that night, Christine sat in the family room of Meg's house reading a book that she had picked up off one of the shelves. Just then the door opened and Meg walked in with Marco. Christine jumped up and hugged Meg and Marco as they entered the room. "Christine! We've missed you so much." said Meg as she wrapped her arms around her. "did you have fun on your honeymoon?" asked Christine. "yes we sure did." said Marco. "Come to my room Christine I want to show you something." said Meg. "go on, I'm going to make some tea." said Marco as he walked to the kitchen. Christine walked to Meg's room and had a seat on her bed as she took something out of her bag. Meg sat down next to Christine, and handed her what was in the bag and when Christine looked down at the heavy object she noticed that it was a music box with a monkey sitting on top of it dressed in Persian Robes. "this looks like Erik's music box." said Christine. Meg smiled, and said "wind it up." Christine did, and listened to it play the familiar tune of "Masquerade." "this can't be Erik's music box." said Christine. Meg laughed, and said "when Marco and I traveled from Greece to Italy we went to a market. At the market there was an old lady selling lots of antiques. I saw the music box and she told me that there were only two made in the whole entire world. The other music box was said to be sold to a band of gypsies years ago. She told me that as the legend goes if the two music boxes were ever joined together they would play the one tune in rhythm and bring true love to the person holding the other music box. I brought this back for you Christine, so I hope that the myth is true." "well Meg I'm pregnant." said Christine. "what? Wow Christine, that's great." said Meg hugging her. "No it's not." said Christine. "why? I mean Erik can't have kids and so this is a miracle from God." said Meg. "it could be Raoul's baby. I slept with him and Erik around the same time and now that Erik found out he's mad at me." said Christine.
Meg hugged Christine and said "if it is meant to be it will be." "I know I just wish that Erik would forgive me." said Christine. "My mother told me about what happened to the Opera house. You and Erik are welcomed to stay as long as you need." she replied. "I'm going to turn in for the night Meg, goodnight and thanks for the music box." said Christine as she walked out of her room. Christine walked to the room where Erik was and knocked. When she didn't get a reply she entered to see all the lights out with Erik leaned over his desk with his head lying on a bunch of papers. Christine smiled, and walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers and fluffed the pillow. She then wrapped Erik's arms around her and lied his sleeping body down on the bed. Ever since Andre had visited earlier and asked Erik to be his work partner he had locked himself in his room working on new plans for the opera house. Once she covered Erik up, Christine walked over to his desk and looked at the blue prints at which he had drawn. Each picture was beautifully drawn out in such detail that made Erik's handwriting look like chicken scratch. She then heard Erik stir in his sleep, and looked at him to notice that he was now awake. "Christine, what are you doing in here?" asked Erik as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. "I came in here to check on you but you were fast asleep at your desk." said Christine. "I've been tired lately." said Erik. "Meg and Marco are back." said Christine. "oh well that's good." said Erik. Christine picked up the music box that Meg had given her, and said "Meg brought this back for me." Erik looked at the music box and said "that looks just like mine." "Meg bought it from a market in Italy. The woman who had it said that there were only two made in the whole world and that the second one was sold to a band of gypsies years ago. She said that legend has it that the one with the music box will fall in love with the one who has the other music box." said Christine. Erik held onto his music box, and said "well it was true, but not anymore." Christine sat down beside him, and said "Erik, you made me mad because you didn't want this baby that maybe you made." "you destroyed my ring Christine." said Erik. Christine got to her feet, and said "you destroyed my happiness." she then walked out of the room and left Erik alone.
The next day, Christine sat in Meg's kitchen as she cooked with her mother. "you're awfully quiet today Christine." said Madam Giry. "I just don't have anything to say." said Christine. "where's Erik?" asked Meg. "Haven't you heard? He's partners with Andre now so they are working together to rebuild the opera house." said Madam Giry. "that's wonderful." said Meg. Christine put her head down, and Madam Giry handed her a small basket loaded up with a bottle of wine and some sandwiches. "it's about lunch time Christine. Now don't you think that maybe Andre and Erik would like some lunch?" "I'll go too." said Meg. "No Meg, I need you to stay here and help me prepare tonight's dinner." she replied. "I don't even know where they are." said Christine. "they're at the site of the opera house." she replied.
Christine grabbed the basket, and walked out after putting her cloak on. Meg looked at her mother and said "why can't I go?" "because my dear, this is something Erik and Christine need to work out together." said Madam Giry as she cut up some vegetables. "mother do you honestly think that sending her with some sandwiches and a bottle of wine is going to make things better?" questioned Meg with a smile. "what? My favorite phrase was always "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach." she replied. Meg laughed, and said "Mother you can't seriously believe that it's true." Madam Giry scooped the cut up vegetables and placed them in a pot. She then wiped her hands off with a dry cloth and said "it worked on your father." "what would he think if he were here now?" questioned Meg as she set the pot over the fire. "he would be very pleased to see what a lovely daughter he created." said Madam Giry.
Christine walked to where the rubble of the opera house stood. Half of it was burnt and down to nothing with the other half hardly standing in one piece. Christine noticed Andre talking to a bunch of men at the door way of what was left of the opera house and approached them. "if we're going to build I say we start as soon as possible. My partner Erik has created some beautiful blue prints of what it should look like." said Andre reassuringly. "where is your partner?" asked one of the men. "he is expecting some of the damage. I am the one who you must go through, not him. He told me that he would only be my partner if I were the business man and he were the architectural artist. I wish to obey his wishes and if you would like to see the blue prints I could get them from him. I assure you all that you will be very impressed." said Andre. Christine then butted in very politely. "Excuse me Mr. Andre I have lunch for you." "Ah Christine, everyone this is Christine Daae the opera Diva who I hope will be returning once the opera house opens once more." said Andre. "I haven't thought about it." said Christine. "Surly Erik will want you to come back." said Andre. "maybe." said Christine. Andre smiled, and said "my apologies men, I forgot to mention that Christine is also Erik's lover." "you're a lucky girl to be with such a talented man." said one of the men. "where is Erik?" asked Christine as she handed Andre a sandwich and a muffin from the basket. "he is down in what's left of the basement inspecting some of the damage. Be careful though, there is a lot of debris." said Andre. "thank you." said Christine. "no thank you for the lunch." said Andre.
Christine trudged through the dark debris covered stairs to get down to the basement. Once she made her way past the empty lake she spotted Erik standing over what was left of his swan bed drawing in his note book. She then watched as he limped over to all the melted candle wax and kick some of it up. "you shouldn't be up and walking around with an ankle like that." said Christine. Erik immediately turned around in fear, and sighed at the sight of Christine. "I wasn't expecting to see you down here." he replied. "well Madam Giry thought you'd be hungry." said Christine sitting the basket down on one of the fallen over pillars. "Anything good?" asked Erik as he walked over to Christine. Christine rummaged through what was left in the basket and said "a sandwich and a bottle of wine." "I was actually in the mood for a muffin." said Erik as he took a seat next to the basket. "sorry, I gave it to Andre." said Christine. "it's fine." said Erik as he took a swing from the bottle of wine. "he speaks great things about your design for the opera house." said Christine. "yea well I have a feeling that the only reason he's being nice to me is because his partner is dead and needs someone like me to rebuild the opera house." said Erik. "I think he likes you." said Christine. "you think everyone likes me." said Erik as he took a bite into the sandwich that Madam Giry made him. Christine smiled and said "you're not as bad as you look." "yea well thank Madam Giry for thinking about me and my hunger." said Erik. "what are you doing down here anyway?" asked Christine. "well Andre knows that I used to live here so decided to let me create my home in the basement of the new Opera house. He told me to make it anyway that I want, so that is what I'm doing. I'm trying to get every detail down in my note book before they demolish the place that I have lived in for oh so many years." said Erik. "any ideas?" asked Christine. "some, not all the way there yet." said Erik.
"Can I see what you've got so far?" asked Christine. "no, I want it to be a surprise." said Erik. "what are we Erik?" asked Christine. "what so ever do you mean?" asked Erik. "are we friends? Are we engaged? Or are we just two lost souls in this big world?" asked Christine. "you know sometimes I think that if Raoul was never born me and you would be the happiest couple in the whole world." said Erik. "Erik, I want to have this baby for you and I. Philippe is gone and now you're the only one left. This baby is going to be calling you daddy no matter what so why can't you accept that?" asked Christine. "because maybe I'm not ready to be father." said Erik. "Erik this wasn't planned but people have babies unplanned all the time. I think that if we got through all that's happened in the last year I think we could get through this." said Christine. "I'm not going to be this child's father Christine. I will be there for you but I will not be this child's father. Do you understand me? I shall try to work things out between you and I but as far as this pregnancy goes, I don't want any part of this child." said Erik. "you're going to have to get over it Erik, because what's going to happen when it turns out to be your baby?" asked Christine. "it's not going to be mine Christine because I can't conceive. I shoot blanks, is that clear enough for you to hear?" asked Erik as he got to his feet in anger. "you make no sense Erik, you're saying that you want to be with me but you don't want anything to do with my baby." said Christine. "yes, I shall be there for you Christine but as far as caring for the brat I shall have no part in it what so ever." said Erik. "some talk that was." said Christine. "you should be going home Christine I need to get back to work." said Erik.
Christine began to walk away when she noticed something glimmering on the floor. She bent down and picked it up to see that it was her ring. The ring still looked new and was in perfect condition. She turned to look at Erik who was writing again, and walked over to him. "did I not tell you to leave?" he asked in anger. Christine looked up at his white mask and placed the ring in the palm of his hand. "our love is no longer drowning. This ring is keeping it a float." with that Christine left Erik in what was left of the dark lair. Later on that evening, Christine dressed into her night gown and had a seat on her bed. She then heard a knock on her door and looked up to see Erik standing there in the doorway. "hey, what time did you get home?" asked Christine. "about an hour ago." he replied. "you can come in." said Christine as she put the book she was reading down. Erik shut the door behind him, and had a seat on the edge of her bed. "I couldn't sleep so I thought that maybe talking to you would make me tired." said Erik. "ok." said Christine.
After a few moments of silence, Erik said "are you ever going to come back into the opera house and sing?" "I don't know." she replied. "I want to sing to you Christine, I have written you a song that I wish to sing for you if you would like to hear." said Erik. "I would love that." said Christine. Erik smiled, and got close to her, close enough to where his mask was touching her cheek. He then smiled, and began to sing to his angel….
"sometimes I find it hard, hard to believe…believe that you are
Beside me why can't you let me be? Here in a room of darkness I
Listen to you breath I sing only for you it's me who truly adores you.
Love me while I'm not here with you….love me till the day which I return.
Stay here in this darkened room always waiting…waiting for the day that
I return…Christine your love is all I yearn. At times we may not talk other times as
We walk but still I am beside you I'm here to stay beside you…..push me as far away
As you want to….push me all the way to Greece or Spain. Place me where ever
You wish too….remember that I will return at last Christine you're all above my past.
So stay here far away from any other…stay with me when you become a mother. Stay here with me in my arms at last…promise me that all this love will last…"
(if any of you don't like mature themes just skip to the next chapter…don't read below this line)
Christine smiled, and said "I will Erik, you're handsome." tears fell down Erik's cheek as she touched his mask, wanting to remove it. When Christine removed the mask, Erik tried to turn away, but Christine forced him to face her. "sometimes I still have a hard time looking at you when I'm like this." said Erik as the tears kept rolling down his face. "you're handsome Erik." said Christine. She then placed her lips to his, and began to passionately kiss him, and after a few seconds he kissed her back. "oh Christine I love you." he cried as he kept kissing her. Christine felt his tongue touching hers as the kiss deepened, eventually causing Erik to sigh in arousal. It had been a long time since her and Erik had engaged in any sort of physical contact and she wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to let it pass. As they kissed, Christine grasped the top of his trousers causing Erik to stop the kiss and stare at her in confusion. "what?" asked Erik. "are you not in the mood?" asked Christine. "no it's just weird. One minute we're arguing the next kissing and now this? It's just a little too fast for me." said Erik. "if you don't want me to touch you then it's ok." said Christine. "touch? Me?" questioned Erik. "yea, something wrong?" asked Christine. "I don't want to stop you from doing what you want to me." said Erik. "well if you're going to be uncomfortable then I won't do it." said Christine. "No, go ahead." said Erik.
Christine began to kiss him again and as she was, she unbuttoned his trousers and pulled them down to his knees, exposing his manhood. She began to touch him, causing him to moan in arousal and become extremely hard. "I'm going to make you feel so good Erik." said Christine as she continued to kiss his cold lips. She then stopped kissing his lips and trailed her lips to his neck and then to his chest. "what are you doing?" asked Erik nervously. He stopped asking when he felt Christine put her mouth on his manhood and begin to suck on his hardened shaft. Erik had never felt anything so great in his entire life let alone at this moment. It wasn't better than sex but it was close to it. As Christine continued, Erik couldn't help but shift his hips up off of the mattress screaming in orgasmic tones for her not to stop. "Oh Christine." was all that Erik could yell. Erik tried to keep his voice as quiet as possible so he wouldn't catch Meg or any body else's attention from down the halls but couldn't help it having Christine's lips over his shaft was driving him wild.
Erik could feel himself getting close to finishing and wanted nothing more than to have sex with her. Erik immediately stopped her from what she was doing and lied on her. He kissed her so passionately that the feeling of it was enough for him to want to finish right there but he held it in. He then quickly tore off Christine's dress, and began to thrust himself into her as she kept moaning. "Oh Erik!" yelled Christine as Erik thrusted himself into her. "Oh Christine I'm so close." moaned Erik as he gave himself hard pleasurable thrusts into his angel. "yes Erik, so am I." moaned Christine. Erik then gave himself one last hard thrust causing himself to explode and fill his angel with his seed causing her to finish as well. Afterwards, they both lied there next to each other leaving Erik with the question of "how did we go from fighting to this?" he wasn't sure but his angel was lying next to him and that's all that mattered.
More to come soon….R&R please..
