He collected himself, "I'm sorry Jaclyn, we could continue if you want to." I considered it.
"No, lets just go home." I cooed gently, he looked at me like I was a goddess, it made me smile. Erik stood and helped me up, "Ohh, Erik, I got the dress wet, I'm so sorry." It was reasons like this that I liked jeans.
"Its fine don't worry." He cooed gently, cupping my cheek gently. I smiled, "Okay, whatever you say." He smiled and kissed my lips softly. I savored the sensation, Erik's kisses were beautiful and gentle, Any other I've shared were demanding and lustful. He pulled back, he took my hand and lead the way home.
I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes, Erik knocked on the bedroom door. "Can I come in?" His voice was different than usual, his voice took an even more honey like tone, sweet and smooth, hypnotic.
"If you want to." I called back, he walked in, looking more elegant than usual, it was just the way he held himself, up straight, head held high, he also shaved his whiskers, I liked Erik's new look. Though one thing stayed the same, his shoulders slacked slightly, I sat up upon his entrance. He was smiling, which, even though his deformity, his face looked normal when he smiled like that, I returned his smile. Erik sat down in the armchair that was beside my bed, he sighed, "I remember the last time I was here." His voice made me shudder, it was godlike, irresistible.
"When was that?" I asked. He looked at me, the look in his eyes was also irresistible, everything about him was irresistible, if he wanted something then, now matter what it was I would have given it to him. He sighed again, "Although she resented me, she had me tracked down and brought to her, my mother wanted to apologize for what she had done to me." Oooh that voice. I gave him a melting look, "What is it?" I asked
"What do you mean?" He asked in return.
"It seems to me that you've gotten a new out look on life, you should see yourself, you're smiling, you've shaved, not sure if I like that part but still, your holding yourself up, you've found confidence somewhere, haven't you?" I asked him, narrowing my eyes at him.
"Yes, actually I have. In a green eyed beauty." I giggled, he'd also become a bit more flirtatious, I liked this new Erik, not that I hadn't liked him in the first place. But now Erik was more confident in himself, and I enjoyed the thought of Erik not hating his own guts, the thought of that made me want to cry that a man had so much self loathe, only because of what he looked like, if people had looked deeper than skin deep, they would have seen the ingenious, sweet, kind and pleasant Erik that I knew. I have a theory, that if you have a pretty face, but a nasty, blackened heart, you deserved to be hideous, but if you weren't the prettiest thing ever, but you had a heart of gold, you deserved good looks, but I don't care about the looks in the first place, what's the point?
Erik leaned forward in the armchair, tilting his head and smirking. It was seductive the way he did it. I fought back a moan, he chuckled, "What's wrong Jaclyn?" He said, getting up from his place in the armchair and made his way to a spot beside me. Sitting down, his hand went up to the side of my neck, he leaned down to my level and kissed me, I wrapped my arms around his neck, replying to his kiss forcefully, his hands went to my side, pushing me down on the bed, I guess he moved to fast, he cried out in pain, and fell to the spot on the bed beside me. Holding his stomach in pain. I propped myself up on one elbow. I smirked, "I hate to say, but I have to, I told you so." Erik glared at me. I laughed as I set myself up on my knees, "Oh, honey, don't be mad. Let me see." I cooed to him, I took his hand from his stomach, a small splatter of blood was where the bullet had entered.
"Again, I told you so." I said.
"I realize that." He breathed.
"I'll get the supplies." I breathed the words, "You do that." Erik replied, wincing. I left the room and went to get the gauze and such. I removed his shirt, "Well, its not that bad, but you've learned your lesson, correct?" I asked him as I cleaned the would. Erik hissed in pain before he spoke.
"Yes, Jaclyn, I have." He gritted through his teeth.
"Ooohh, I'm sorry honey." I leaned in, caressed his deformed cheek and kissed his forehead. I back a little to look him in the face, I saw a look of gratitude on his face as he looked up at me.
'I have no clue what I would do without you Jaclyn." His voice cooed. I took his face in my hands gently, "Not much." Erik smiled, making me happy, if he was happy I was.
"Now just stay here and rest you need it." I said, about to get up from the bad.
"Just lay down with me, at least, please?" He begged me.
"No, it could provoke you."
"Please, promise you I wouldn't do anything to hurt myself." He whispered.
"Alright fine." I rounded the bad and lay down with Erik, he sighed contently, as long as he was happy I was too.
