I was so grateful that Raoul was gone for three months. I had three months with Erik. I could hardly wait to see him and get into his arms. Whenever I am in his arms, I feel like I’m protected from everything that’s around me.
Tonight, I am going to the opera. I am going to go down to Erik’s Lair and surprise him. I know he’ll be so happy when he see me walk through his house on the lake. I loved the house upon the lake better than the Chateau. I know it’s crazy of me, but I feel more at home at Erik’s home. I feel like I belong there.
It was finally time for the opera. I packed up all of my clothes, that I felt like I needed. I know Erik would want me to stay with him. Erik was so kindly to me, unlike Raoul had treated me. I was now into my third month of pregnancy. I truly felt pregnant now. I hadn’t felt my baby yet. I hope the baby would kick when I was with Erik.
I had arrived at the opera earlier than I had been. I couldn’t wait anylonger for Erik to take me into his arms and feel him all around me. I quickly found my way down to the cellars of the underground lair. The boat Erik and I had traveled in was still there. I was so very grateful it was. I wouldn’t think I could swim in the lake. I had to keep my baby healthy.
I made my way into the boat and traveled to the house upon the lake. I had arrived at the house; I got out of the boat and went inside the house. Erik was there in his chair. He didn’t see me come in. I came up to him and got into his lap.
“Erik!” I whispered. Erik openned up his eyes and saw me.
“Christine, My love!” he exclaimed. He gently kissed me on my lips.
“I’m so happy you came. I have been dreaming of you!” he said.
“I have been too. I have dreamed of this day for so long. I am going to stay with you for awhile.” I smiled
“I’m surprised that he let you, my dear.” he questioned.
“He just off this morning on business. He’ll be gone for three months!” I exclaimed.
“Has he been mistreating you, Christine?” Erik asked. I couldn’t lie to Erik, like I did Meg.
“Erik... Yes, he does!” I cried.
“I swear, Christine, I’ll kill the bastard, if he lays a hand on you again!” he exclaimed. I put my head onto his shoulder.
“Erik, I don’ t know what I am doing to do!” I cried.
“You can stay with me, Darling!” He pulled me up from his shoulder and put his hands on my face, “I love you, Christine!” he cried.
“I love you, too, Erik, but I’m married to Raoul. I’ll always be married to him. He won’t agree on a divorce.” I cried.
“He will, if I tried to kill him!” he exclaimed again.
“Erik, don’t do that. I don’t want to see you kill anyone.” I said. I put my head back on his shoulder. He gently touch my head and started caressing it.
“Let’s go into the bedroom now!” I nodded and he carried me into the bedroom. He gently put me on the bed, and started singing to me as he got on top of the bed. Erik pulled his clothes off and helped me get mine undone. We made passionate love like we ever had before. His warmth was so wonderful. I could feel his body against mine. Erik made love so gently and moving. I couldn’t keep my hands away from him. His touch upon me was so moving and breath taking.
We had made love all night long, it was morning now. Erik got up before me and made me some breakfast. He came back to the bed a couple minutes later, carrying a tray with my breakfast on it. I felt like a queen when I was with Erik. “I thought I would make you some breakfast, Angel!” he smiled, and he looked at my stomach. I was showing our wonderful baby. I knew he wondered sometimes, if the baby was his. I wish I could just come out and tell him. I know I would someday.
“Thank you, Erik! I’m so hungry!” I exclaimed.
“I knew you would me, my dear.” he smiled, “How’s the baby?” he asked. I smiled back at him when he said those words about our baby.
“He’s doing fine. I can’t wait to see him.” I smiled at Erik.
“I guess when the baby comes, you won’t be seeing me very often.” he sighed.
“Why would you think that, Erik? I asked.
“Because the baby is going to need you everyday.” he responded.
“You know I would come and see you, Erik. I’ll get a nurse for it.” I answered back. Erik just ignored me. I know Erik didn’t like talking about the baby. He hardly mention it to me.
“Do you like your breakfast?” he asked smiling at me.
“I love it, Erik. Anything you do, you know I love it!” I smiled. Erik kissed me on the cheek. I soon got finished with my breakfast and then we made love again. It felt more passionated this time. I know the baby loved it. I hope on the day the baby kicked would be on a night or day, when Erik and I were making love.
While I stayed with Erik, we sang together, he held me in his arms and most of all make love to me. Our favorite thing do with making love. I felt like I was married to him when we made love together. I knew it was a sin for me having an affair with Erik, but I couldn’t help it. I loved Erik. He was my only love.
On one night, Erik and I went to the opera together. I hoped nobody saw me there. I went in and out almost every minute of the show. Erik understood it; He had seen pregnant women before.
The Opera tonight was one of Erik’s operas. It was Don Juan Triumphant! I remember the night, Erik and I starred in it. I can’t ever forget the night of that performance. I was singing with my beloved Erik in a play of his. I still dream of that. I hope oneday, Erik and I will be in more operas. That’s a dream I hold to.
When Erik and I arrived back to the house upon the lake , he carried me into the bedroom again. “How was my opera?” he asked smiling at me.
“It was wonderful. I still dream of our performance together.” I smiled remembering the day.
“I do as well, My Angel. You were so beautiful and you still are.” I smiled at the words he said to me. Raoul hadn’t ever said anything like that to me before. Erik was a gentleman, and Raoul was a bastard.
Erik gently made love to me that night. I know Erik loved being in my arms. He hadn’t ever been loved so much in his life. He had finally gotten to love he had always dream of, and that love with me. I love Erik with all my heart. I couldn’t ever break his heart.
