Raymond woke up the next morning, waiting to see if Erika was awake yet.
"Erika?" he said, in almost a whisper.
"In here Raymond." she said. He walked into Erika's room. She was sitting on the organ bench. Raymond sat down beside her. She must have been happy, because she smiled.
"I've always wanted to learn how to play." he said truthfully.
"Erika could teach you, if you'd like." she smiled. You have to admit, her smile was beautiful. Raymond sat there a second wrapped up in her smile.
"That would be nice." he said.
She started playing, soft at first, then it grew louder, and was very pretty. When she finished ,she grabbed Raymond hands. Erika's hands were cold.
"Since this is your first time, I'll help you." She stood behind him, helping his hand's slide effortlessly over the keys.
"I never knew someone like me could play something that…beautiful."
"Just look at me", she said, "Erika's not beautiful, but did you hear the way I play?"
Raymond blushed when he said, "Who are you kidding, your beautiful." Raymond did have a strange attraction to her, whatever the reason.
"Do you mean that? What about that Emily girl? I can't compare…."
"Of course you can! We have only been friends. Ever."
This must've given her hope. 'He might love me.' she thought as he looked at her.
"Sit back down, love." he said.
She laughed and sat back down.
"You have the most exquisite laugh."
"Let's start playing again. You need practice."
Raymond put his hands down, and copied her song that she had played before. It needed work.
"You need work but-" she stopped in mid-sentence when Raymond grabbed her hand.
"Help me play." he pleaded. She smiled and did just that. After a while, it was time for bed. She had never wanted that day to end. She saw Raymond to bed.
"Erika, please sleep with me."
Why did he want her to sleep beside him? In her eyes, she was a horrifying devil, and he, an angel. Why?
"Okay, Raymond."
Why do I like fluff? I guess you'll be getting another chapter tonight. With more fluff.
