Authors note: If you do not know anything about the Phantom of the Opera, I am sorry. Look for a summery or something about it. Also, Gerard Butler plays the Phantom.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Twilight or the Phantom of the Opera and am too lazy to put up disclaimers all the time, so you won't see then often.
Chapter 2: An interesting Movie
When Nessie left, Bella and I went down to the living room of our cottage and started to pick out a movie. "What would you like to watch, Love?" I asked her. I watched her intently as she looked at all the movies.
"Hmm…. I was thinking something I haven't seen yet. Any suggestions?" She looked up at me.
"I would have to say, 'The Phantom of the Opera.' It is an amazing movie." She looked at me and thought about it.
"…Fine. I haven't seen it yet." She went over on the couch while I put the DVD in.
When the movie started, I placed Bella in my lap as we intently watched the movie. We said nothing when Carlotta sang, or when Christine took her place. Not when Christine went through her mirror to the angel of music or when everyone was singing "Notes" and than into "Prima Donna." I have seen the play so many times in this life and I did like the movie when it came out. Apparently, Bella, too, liked it. I was getting uncomfortable when she still said nothing all the way into the movie during "Masquerade."
"Are you all right, Love?" I asked her. I hoped she wouldn't see the worry in my face.
She shushed me. "The phantom's back!" I laughed at this. She looked at me confused.
"I laughed because I thought something was wrong! I was being silly."
"Yeah, you were. Oh look! He wrote a musical too-"
"Opera."
"Right. He called it 'Don Juan'; does he ever perform it, Edward?" I laughed again. I loved her interest in the movie. I made a mental note to take her to see the musical one day.
"You have to see now, don't you?"
"You're right, don't spoil the ending!"
"Well… in the end at Christine's-" She shushed me. We began to watch the movie in the silence we had before, but I wasn't worried. Neither of us said anything until the point of no return. I startled Bella as I began to sing along:
Past the pointof no return -no backward glances:our games of make believeare at an end . . .Past all thoughtof "if" or "when" -no use resisting:abandon thought,and let the dreamdescend . . .
She looked at me and kissed me. "That as beautiful, Edward." She smiled. "I guess Gerard Butler's no Edward Cullen!" We both laughed.
"Will you sing for me, Bella?" She looked at me. I am sure that if she were still human, she would be red. "Please?" I desperately wanted her to sing "Think of me" because that's all I do.
"What should I sing?"
"I was hoping 'Think of me,' is that's alright." I looked down. One of the rare times I am ever embarrassed about something around her, it's about a song.
She sighed. "Alright. Rewind this DVD and put subtitles. Also, please have Christine singing, there is no way I can sing as well as Carlotta can!" She said sarcastically with a smile. I did as asked and she sang:
Think of me, think of me fondly,when we've said me once in a while -please promise me you'll you find that, once again, you longto take your heart back and be free -if you ever find a moment,spare a thought for me
When she was finished she realized that I had muted the DVD and she looked down. I looked at her with such admiration! She, of course, did not sing it as high as Christine, but she was amazing! After a long meaningful look at each other, we kissed. We began to smile like idiots when Nessie came in.
