Protect Her, At All Costs. (Phantom of the Opera AU)

Spring Break II

Christine woke up and nearly screamed when she saw William standing right next to the bed.

"God, you're so creepy. Did you just watch me sleep?"

"Yeah, but only for about five minutes or so."

Christine groaned and rubbed her face.

"Get up and get dressed." He said.

"Why?"

"You didn't just come here to do nothing." William said, walking out of the room.

Christine got up and changed into a t-shirt and shorts she found. She walked to the bathroom so she could brush her teeth and put her contacts in. She walked into the kitchen and saw William brewing coffee.

"Want some?" He asked.

"Spike it with vodka and sure." Christine's voice was slightly raspy from the previous day.

William laughed and poured her a cup.

"Sugar is in the drawer, creamer is in the fridge."

Christine grabbed some milk out of the fridge and put it in. She poured in a packet of sugar and stirred it. A man walked in the room and up to William.

"Do you have any plans for today, sir?" He asked.

"Uh, not yet." William shrugged and took a sip of his coffee.

"Alright, feel free to call for me when you do."

The man walked away and Christine followed him with her eyes.

"Is that your sub?" She asked.

William coughed and laughed. "What gave it away?"

Christine set the mug down and leaned against the counter.

"So what are the plans for today? Since, you know, I can't do nothing."

"I'm not sure. What do you want to do?"

"Go home." She mumbled.

"Well, that's not an option."
She looked at him, then walked back to her room and shut the door.

Christine spent the day looking around the room, reading, and staring at the ceiling. William came into her room.

"Get up and put this on, we're going out." He threw a dress at Christine and walked out.

Christine slipped on the dress and put on some heels she found in the closet. She put dramatic makeup on her eyelids and a dark red on her lips.

If we're going out, I'll be sure to make it so nobody can keep their eyes off of me. That'll make him mad.

She put on some gold jewelry and fixed her hair. She walked out of the room and into the living room. William looked up from the ground at her. His jaw dropped as he looked at the slim fitting, short dress.

"Pick up your jaw off the floor and let's go."

He stood and led her to the car. The man who was driving them opened their doors. They rode in silence but William kept glancing at her. When Christine got out of the car, she raised an eyebrow.

"Are we at a club?"

"Basically, but a private one."

Christine looked at him. She hadn't given much thought to what he was wearing, but now that she was thinking about it, he looked decent. He'd shaven his face and was wearing an all black suit. He caught her staring and smirked.

"See something you like?" He asked.

She rolled her eyes and walked inside. William caught up to her and put an arm around her waist.
