Thank you again to everybody who continues to read my fan fiction. It has been a while since I have updated, but I hope you continue to read and enjoy my fan fiction.

"Christine, I liked meeting Meg last night. I honestly was a little nervous about meeting your friend because I thought I was going to be judged by her, but I was worried for nothing." Erik smiled at Christine and raised her hand to his lips. "She seems like a caring friend, and I hope she will be your friend no matter what happens." Erik was stunned that Meg did not judge him or run away because of how he appeared; he probably would have ran away if he was her because meeting a guy who wears a mask all the time does not sound safe. He was expecting Meg to turn and run out of Christine's room screaming at the top of her lungs, but found out Meg was quite calm about meeting him. Erik remembered Meg telling him that Christine was falling head over heels in love with him, making him smile warmly. "May I kiss your lips my sweet Christine?"

Christine blushed and smiled softly at Erik. Christine wondered what his lips would feel like pressed against hers because she had never been kissed before. She stared at them as she said, "you may kiss me Erik if you wish to." Christine closed her eyes as she saw Erik lean in to kiss her and leaned into the kiss as well.

As their lips touched, Christine let out a small gasp. It felt like a pleasurable jolt of electricity sparked between the two. Erik took her gasp as being a bad thing and pulled away from the kiss almost as soon as she let out the gasp. "Are you okay Christine? I didn't mean to hurt you my dear." He looked at Christine with concern, thinking that he had somehow hurt her in trying to kiss her, after all, this was his first time kissing somebody.

Christine smiled and blushed slightly, "You didn't hurt me Erik, I just enjoyed the kiss a lot and it felt like there was a spark that had happened between you and I. Erik, you are the first person to kiss me on the lips. My mother and father would kiss me on the forehead or cheek, and the only other place I have been kissed was on my hand." Christine laughed softly, noticing Erik's look of concern turn to a smile.

Erik smiled widely, "My dear, this is the first time I have ever kissed anybody on the lips, and I must admit I liked it as well. You were the first person I have kissed on the hand as well my dear Christine." Erik had never felt this alive until he had meet Christine, and the kiss had made him feel more alive than he had ever felt before then. "I'm sorry that I confused your gasp as a gasp of pain my dear. I thought I had somehow hurt you considering it was my first time kissing anybody on the lips."

Christine laughed softly, "You didn't hurt me at all Erik, and I doubt you would hurt me on purpose. Let's kiss again later and if I gasp, it's probably not in pain. Don't worry about it unless if I scream or something of the sort." Christine smiled softly at Erik.

"Of course my dear," said Erik. "I will kiss you more as time goes on; don't worry about that, but only with your permission of course madam." Erik pulled Christine close and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "I want to go dancing with you sometime my dear, but I am scared to go out into public because I know that I will be judged by my appearance. People will run away screaming and will probably call me a monster." Erik looked down at his feet sadly. "You are one of the few people who come back after seeing me."

Christine softly lifted Erik's head so she could look into his eyes. "People shouldn't judge you for what you look like Erik. I hope you know that I will never think any differently of you no matter what happens. You are a person like anybody else, and I happen to like you a lot. Meg may be completely right; I may be falling head over heels in love with you. Don't let people make you feel like a monster Erik." Christine pulled Erik in for a hug. She hugged him for a few minutes and then said, "Do you feel better now Erik?"

Erik smiled at Christine, "Yes, Dear, I feel a lot better now. Thank you Christine; I will remember what you said. You are a really good person and I thank you for not judging me. I may try to go and take you dancing some day when I build up my courage, but in the meantime, it's almost time for you to go to bed, so I will walk you back to your room for the night."

Erik led Christine back to her room. Erik then asked, "May I have one kiss for the night my dear Christine?" He remembered how soft her lips felt when he had kissed her the first time, and wanted to feel it again.

"You may Erik," Christine said with a smile. She loved the fact that Erik was a gentleman enough to ask her if he could kiss her instead of just taking her face and forcing her to kiss him. They kissed goodnight and then hugged each other softly for a few moments. "Goodnight Erik," Christine said when they finally stepped out of the hug, "I hope you sleep well and I will see whenever you show up."

Erik smiled at Christine, "You too my sweet Christine. I will see you this weekend my dear as I will be composing until then and I think you should spend some time with your friends as well as me. It will only be two days, so we should be okay until then." Erik hugged Christine one last time. "Goodnight and sweet dreams Dear," he said before heading toward his home under the theater.

Thank you so much for reading this chapter. I hope I didn't rush their first kiss too much. I will appreciate any comments, and ideas for future chapters. I apologize for taking a long time to get this written and posted, but I hope you have enjoyed this fan fiction so far. I am slowly running out of ideas, so ideas for future chapters would be appreciated. Thank you again. ~rlp1994~
