A New Beginning

Chapter 25

(Erik's POV)

That morning, I had gone to buy the theme park which we lived right next to so I decided that it would be a good idea to show her around and see if she liked it.

"Erik, I think this place is wonderful, but why did you bring me here today?" She asked me.

I smiled and turned at her "Because it is yours," I replied. She looked confused so I continued, "I am the oner of this place, but whatever is mine, is yours too."

She kissed my cheek and smiled. "Oh, and one more thing," I said. "Here, I am Mr. Y. That will be my name, and so you will be Mrs. Y," I told her. She nodded, seeming to understand why I was doing it.

We strolled along the park for a while longer, stopping for lunch and then she insisted on getting ice cream; unfortunately, it was not as good as we hoped, so I tried to make it up to her with a bottle of wine and some bread that I made myself. When we finished dining, I carried her upstairs to the room and set her down on the divan, kneeling beside her and taking her hand in both of mine. I stared into her eyes and placed a kiss on her hand.

I then stood up. "I will be right back," I said and went into the bathroom, but as I washed my face and stared into the mirror to dry it, I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist; I smiled. I stood still but the arms moved up to my shoulders and pulled my jacket off, letting it fall to the ground. Then, the arms unbuttoned  my shirt and began to caress my chest just as I started feeling a pair of lips on my neck, so I bit my bottom lip. A moment later, I found my shirt had been removed, and the hands were now rubbing my arms up and down.

I could not bear to be like this any longer, so I turned around and fiercely pressed my lips to my angel's. She kissed me back with as much passion as I did, so I proceeded to pick her up and throw her on the bed, throwing my trousers and undergarments across the room and, making my way on top of her, I undid her corset with my teeth. We once again disappeared in the darkness of the night.

The next morning, I woke up and looked down at my angel. I kissed her head and caressed her face with the tip of my fingers. "I love you," I whispered. Just then, the door flew open and my angel jumped, clearly surprised by what had suddenly happened. I pulled her close to my chest and kissed her hand.

"Good morning, lovebirds!" Raoul practically yelled, as he barged

in the room.

"Must you yell?" I asked and turned my face to the right so he wouldn't have to see my deformity. Christine looked at me and hugged me. "Raoul, you scared me," she told him. He nodded, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you... even though you didn't let me sleep last night." That's when I acknowledged that Christine and I would be fully exposed if it wasn't for the sheets. He started laughing and I threw a pillow at him. "Get out!" I yelled. He ran out of the room and I heard him yell from the stairs, "Breakfast is on the kitchen table." He still sounded rather amused.

I went into the bathroom and pulled my mask on, as well as a clean shirt and set of pants; I didn't think the jacket was necessary. Then I let my angel use the bathroom so she could change, so I headed down stairs and waited for her. Even as I sat down on the table, the boy had an idiotic grin on his face, I chuckled a little.

The next few weeks were some of the best weeks of my life. Christine and I would go out together, Raoul would help me make new additions to the park, and the three of us would often enjoy the park or music that Christine and I created. Raoul would often sing with us and he had a rather good voice, but he didn't feel like it, so he would sometimes refuse, and we wouldn't push him.

I spent a fair amount of time working on the park, though the first thing I established there was a new ice cream parlor, and turned the old one into a storage, not wanting to go the freezers go to waste. The park grew, and suddenly, every person in the world wanted to come. The name of 'Mr. Y's Phantasma' was everywhere and, every day, more people would visit the park, letting me spend more time with my wife.
