You are walking around the halls of a spa with your best friend, Raven. It had taken the two of you six weeks to talk the Professor into letting you go on vacation, on one condition. You had to take Erik Lehnsherr. Reluctantly, you'd agreed to the terms. You had left the man in his room to get a pedicure with Raven. Now you were walking back to your rooms.
"Oh, by the way, I broke it off with Erik, again," she says in front of your room door. It wasn't that big of a surprise with their on-again off-again relationship. What did surprise you were the butterflies in your stomach.
"What happened this time?" you ask, forgetting the feelings deep in your stomach.
"I think he has feelings for someone else. He keeps on…" You ignored Raven as she continued to talk about her reasoning's. The butterflies had returned and your heart quickened. That's when you realized it: You had feelings for Erik Lehnsherr.
"Yeah, that sounds… that's horrible," you say, cutting her off. "Listen, I'm pretty tired so I'm gonna go catch up on some sleep. See you at dinner?" She nods at your question and doesn't question your excuse.
You enter your room and start pacing. Thoughts of worry, wonder, and the possibility that Erik likes you back flow through your head. You were starting to give yourself hope when there's a knock on your door. You run to the door, opening it. Standing at your was him.
He looked depressed, just standing there. It took you a while to realize what part of the pattern this part where you help him cope. Except this time you didn't want to help him cope. You wanted to kiss him.
"Erik. Long time, no coping," you joke.
"Hilarious. Can I come in?" he replies, sarcastic at first. You step aside, letting him in. "I'm guessing she told you why," he states, sitting on the bed. You sit next to him.
"She probably did, but I was ignoring her for most of it. I think she said something about you liking some other girl," you reply, trying to be as jokingly as possible.
"For once, her reasoning's are the truth," he sighs.
"Am I allowed to know who?" you ask, trying to keep your hope on the down low.
He rests his hand on your cheek before answering, "I thought you already knew," in his most sadistic voice, which would've normally made you laugh. That's when he kisses you.
"We are so not telling Raven."
