Chapter fourteen: Unexpected
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Three days before the ball Christine and Erik would be attending Christine sent a letter to her parents and she quickly got a reply.
“Dear mother and father, I am alright. Do not be worried. This is your daughter Christine. I will be at the ball on Sunday night. You will not see me but I will see you. I love you.
Your beloved daughter, Christine.”
“Dear Christine, we are so worried about even if you tell us not to be. We were so afraid you were…dead. We even asked Raoul Changy to come and help us find you. He’s going to be at the ball with us. He is very eager to see you. Remember when you two were little and used to play in the addict and gardens? Oh well, your father and me are just so happy you’re safe. I cannot wait to see your beautiful face at the ball. I love you dearly. With lots of love, your mother and father.”
Erik ordered Amar to accompany them to the ball as protection. Christine wouldn’t allow Erik to see her costume but she helped Erik wish his. Erik was going as Red Death. On the night before the ball Erik and Christine went back to the city where Christine had stayed when Erik…abducted her. “Are you excited about tomorrow?” Erik asked Christine whole he sat on the bed reading while Christine looked out the window of their hotel. Christine turned around and shook her head. “I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep.” Christine said walking over to the bed and sitting down.
Erik put his book down and wrapped his arms around Christine and pulled her gently to him so she was lying between his legs with her back pressed against his chests. Erik kissed her cheek and Christine held his hands in her own and stroked them softly. “Do you love you?” Christine asked him suddenly. Erik sighed. “I told you, did I not?” Erik asked her. Christine nodded her head and then looked at him. “Yes you did. But saying something and feeling something are two different things.” Christine told him. Erik cupped her face in his hands and kissed her lips softly. “Christine, I swear that if I didn’t feel it…I would never have said it.” Erik told her softly.
Christine smiled and leaned in closer. “I love you.” Christine whispered finally before she kissed him on the lips. Erik kissed her back. Now that she had finally said she loved him Erik’s entire world made sense a bit more.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next evening
Erik and Christine sat in the car as it drove them to where the ball was taking place. Erik still hadn’t seen Christine’s costume. It was hidden beneath her black cloak. But when they arrived at the hall and they went in Erik helped remove her cloak and he stood in awe of Christine’s beautiful gown.
Christine wore a pale yellow, strapless gown with a corset lined chest with little diamonds in front the shaped as flowers. Her hair was down and in curls. Christine smiled as Red Death stood in silence. Amar handed Christine her mask which was gold with little gold beads. Erik finally snapped himself out of it and took Christine’s hand and the two walked in with Amar following behind them both. Amar wore all black and wore a plain black mask over his face. Erik’s costume was deep red and he wore a silk red cape, long black boots and had a sword at his side that many people mistook for a prop (which it wasn’t). And over Erik’s face was a skull mask that made his dominate presence even more threatening and dominate.
As the ball went on Christine scanned the room for her parents. She hadn’t seen them yet and she was beginning to get worried. She hoped nothing had happened to them. And then she saw her mother in a beautiful white gown with a white mask and her father wearing a similar costume. Cordelia removed her mask and it was clear it was Christine’s mother. “Erik, my parents are over there. I’ll be right back.” Christine whispered into his ear. Christine kissed him quickly on the lips before moving across the room to her parents. “Watch her like a hawk,” Erik ordered discretely to Amar who nodded his head. Amar understood Erik’s protectiveness over Christine; little did Erik or Christine know that Amar was beginning to develop a slight attraction towards Christine himself but unlike other men Amar knew how to hide, cover and deny his feelings.
Christine walked over to her parents table and stood in front of it. Her mother recognized Christine’s eyes immediately. Christine removed her mask slowly and starred into her mothers eyes. Christine was suddenly taken in a huge embrace by her father who had stood and Christine hadn’t even noticed. Christine wrapped her arms around her father’s neck as he rained kisses over his daughter’s face and kissed her hands. “Oh my God, you’re really here.” Her father said as he held her in his arms. Christine’s mother stood up and wrapped her arms around her weeping husband and her weeping daughter.
They were a family again…for now.
They all pulled away and Christine’s parents each took turns hugging and kissing their daughter. Before Christine could speak she noticed something had gotten her mother’s attention. “Oh, Raoul, she’s here!” her mother cried. Christine turned around to see her old childhood sweetheart Raoul Changy coming towards them. His hair was shorter and he was still as handsome as ever. Christine couldn’t help but feel attracted to him. Christine hadn’t seen Raoul is so many years. Not since she was eleven and he was thirteen.
When Raoul reached Christine the two just starred at each other. “Christine,” Raoul said softly and almost under his breath. “Raoul,” Christine said to him. Raoul held out his hand for her to take. Christine took it and Raoul kissed it gently. “Would you care to dance?” Raoul asked her. Christine was about to speak when Amar suddenly appeared by her side. Her parents and Raoul were all surprised and Christine pulled her hand away. “Miss Christine, Master has asked for you.” Amar said into her ear. Christine nodded her head. Christine knew who Amar was talking about. ‘Erik,’ Christine thought.
Amar looked at Christine as he watched her think about what to do. “Will you tell him to wait a moment or two?” Christine asked Amar, who nodded his head and walked off. Christine turned to her stunned parents and stunned Raoul. “I-I’ve been asked to sing tonight.” Christine lied, and only seconds after she told the lie she regretted it because she wasn’t asked to sing to tonight and now she would have to sing. “That’s wonderful,” Raoul said happily. “But, would you care to dance?” Raoul asked her again. Christine sighed to herself. She knew Erik would not be happy about this and he probably wanted to talk to her about Raoul. But Christine wasn’t going to leave Erik for Raoul. She loved Erik and wasn’t going to leave him no matter what.
“I’d like that.” Christine said smiling. Cordelia and Charles seemed to be beaming. Raoul took Christine’s hand and led her to the dance floor. The two began to slowly waltz together around the dance floor. As they danced Raoul smiled brightly at her. “Where have you been? You’re parents have been terribly worried.” Raoul told Christine. Christine sighed and shook her head. “I wish I could tell you Raoul but I can’t. I made a promise.” Christine told Raoul who nodded his head. “I understand Christine just know you can tell me anything.” Raoul said to her in a friendly manner and Christine hoped that friendship was the only thing on his mind.
Christine began to panic when she saw Amar behind Raoul. Amar tapped on Raoul’s shoulder and the two stopped waltzing. “Miss Christine, the Master has requested your presence and refuses to wait another minute.” Amar said, loud enough so that Raoul could hear. Christine nodded her head. “I am on my way, excuse me Raoul.” Christine said walking away with Amar by her side. Raoul stood there feeling heart broken.
But Raoul was determined to find out what Christine was hiding. Raoul followed Christine and the strange Persian man. Raoul hid behind a pillar and watched as Christine sat down at a table next to a masked man in a Red Death costume. Raoul moved closer to hear what they were talking about.
“What are you doing?” Erik asked Christine almost angrily. Christine could tell he was really trying to keep his anger under control. Christine sighed and touched his hand. “Erik, he’s just an old friend I knew when I was younger. Please don’t be angry. You know you’re the only man in my life. You’re the first and last man in my life.” Christine promised him. Erik nodded his head. He took Christine’s hand and kissed it and then leaned over and kissed her cheek. “I am sorry. I love you,” Erik told her. Christine smiled. “I love you too.” Christine said before kissing chastely on the lip. “Now get up and dance with me.” Christine said standing. Erik smiled and stood up and went to the dance floor with Christine and began dancing with her.
After Raoul had listened to the conversation Erik and Christine had had he was furious! Christine was in love with some man. Did her parents know? They most likely did not. Raoul couldn’t believe he had heard Christine tell another she loved him. And what Raoul even more furious was the fact that Christine wasn’t in love with him Raoul Changy! Well Raoul was going to tell Christine’s parents. And if Christine wasn’t already married to that man then Raoul was going to order her parents to order Christine to marry him. Raoul had the power to do so. But because of the gloves Christine had been wearing Raoul hadn’t seen the gold wedding band on her finger.
After Christine and Erik had finished dancing Erik arranged for Christine to sing in front of the large crowd. Christine told Erik she’d be singing for him and only him.
“I have never felt like this
For once I’m lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me
This is not like me at all I never thought
I’d know the kind of love you’ve shown me
Now no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
I don’t know what’s going on
Can’t work it out at all
Whatever made you choose me?
I just can’t believe my eyes
You look at me as though
You couldn’t bear to lose me,”
Christine paused for a moment to take a breath of air in. As she looked around the room she saw her parents smiling and quietly weeping as they watched their daughter sing in front of hundreds of people. Christine then saw Raoul smiling brightly as he watched her sing. Christine only hoped he didn’t think she was singing about him. Then Christine’s eyes fell…on her beloved husband. Erik sat in the back of the room watching his beloved wife singing. Christine never loved him more than she did at that moment.
“Now no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
I have never felt like this
For once I’m not lost for words
Your smile has really thrown me
This is not like me at all I never
Thought I’d know the kind of love
You’ve shown me
Now no matter where I am
No matter what I do
I see your face appearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing
Like an unexpected song
An unexpected song
That only we are hearing.”
When Christine finished her song there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd. Everyone was weeping at her beautiful voice. Everyone began to clap and thrown flowers at Christine. Raoul ran up to the stage and helped her down by taking her hand. When he touched her hand he felt something hard underneath the material of her glove. It felt…like a ring. “You were wonderful,” Charles said when he reached his daughter and kissed her cheek. Christine smiled at both of her parents. “Mother, father I need to tell you something.” Christine said taking a deep breath. “I…I can’t come home tonight. I have some place I need to be.” Christine said to them. Christine almost couldn’t bare the broken hearted looks upon her parent’s faces and upon Raoul’s. “Where do you have to be Christine?” Raoul asked, hoping she would tell her parents that she was going to be with a man tonight. Christine sighed. “I have to be…with my husband.” Christine finally said.
Christine’s parents and Raoul were more than shocked. Her mother nearly fainted and her father nearly started yelling. But Raoul was just there. “Husband, Christine what are you talking about?” Cordelia demanded taking her daughter’s hand. Christine pulled her hand away and pulled off her glove and showed her wedding ring. Cordelia gasped. Suddenly Christine was pulled away by someone. Christine looked up and saw Erik standing there pulling her away. “Christine!” she heard her parents yell together. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Erik demanded from Christine.
Erik pulled her into a secluded corridor that was dark. “I had to tell my parents the truth Erik. I didn’t want to lie to them. What was I supposed to tell them? That I was spending the night with a man who wasn’t my husband? Do you know what they would’ve thought?” Christine yelled back at them. “Yes, they would’ve thought you whore!” Erik shouted. Christine pulled her hand away and slapped Erik hard across the face, nearly causing his mask to fall off. Luckily it didn’t but it did hurt Christine’s delicate hand. Erik grabbed Christine by the throat and pushed her against the wall and came at her. “If you were any other woman I would be the living shit out of you!” Erik roared at her.
Christine trembled with fear and gasped when Erik’s mouth came crashing down on hers. Christine fought for a minute before giving in and letting Erik claim her mouth. Erik pressed his body hard against her and pushed her legs apart, ready to fuck her hard against the wall. Erik’s lips ravaged her neck and exposed collarbone. Christine moaned loudly when Erik thrust his aching cock against her wet core. Erik began pulling her skirts up and pushed them above her hips.
Erik ran his hands over her bare legs and squeezed her thighs and backside. “Fuck me…” Christine begged him wantonly. Erik hoisted her up more and let his sword drop to the floor. Christine reached down and unbuckled his belt and then unbuttoned his tight silk pants. Erik wrapped her legs tightly around his waist and thrust into her hard and fast. Christine grasped Erik’s shoulder and moaned loudly as he fucked her against the wall. “Yes…oh…yes,” Christine whimpered. Erik loved it when she so vocal when they made love. Erik knew Christine liked it when they would take it slowly and deeply. But he knew for a fact she liked it when he fucked her violently.
After a little while of hard love making against the wall Christine cried out into Erik’s shoulder as she came and Erik came only moments later. Christine sighed deeply. She could feel their come mixed together dripping down from her aching and sore pussy and down her thighs. Erik kissed her neck and then kissed her deeply and pulled out of her. A little blood from Christine stained the inside of her dress along with Erik’s semen stain. Erik helped Christine fix her dress and when they fixed their clothing they exited the hall way and went back into the ball room.
Cordelia went to her daughter. “Excuse sir but may I have a word with my daughter?” Cordelia asked Erik. Erik nodded his head and walked away. Cordelia studied Christine’s flushed face and noticed little beads of sweat upon Christine’s forehead. “Did he make you marry him?” Cordelia demanded from her daughter. Christine shook her head. Even though Erik sort of forced her to marry him she wouldn’t tell her parents that. “No, I wanted to marry him. I love him.” Christine said to her mother. “I love him.” Christine said again. Cordelia sighed deeply and kissed her daughter’s cheek. “Raoul is very upset.” Cordelia said to her daughter. Christine and Cordelia began walking back to Erik’s table where Erik and Amar were waiting to leave.
“I know, but he has to understand that I love Erik. Tell father I said goodbye. I will be in the city for a few more days. I love you,” Christine said kissing her mother goodbye. Amar put Christine’s cloak on and handed her mask again. Christine waved goodbye to her mother as she left the ball. Amar pulled the car around and helped Christine into the car. As the car drove away Christine looked out the window and saw Raoul standing there watching her until she was out of sight.
