School On Rose Ave. [ON HOLD]

Chapter 6

(Christine's POV)
I waited after school for Erik. My folders were in a huge bunch in my embrace and my bag was resting over my right shoulder.

I checked my phone for time. 2:30. Where could he be? I wondered, but immediately saw him coming.
'Okay...'

"I am sorry that I came so late, but I was finishing a test." He apologized as so as he neared me.

"It's okay. I came a bit late too, so you shouldn't worry." I smiled at him and a folder slipped out of my hands. Erik, however, quickly caught it and asked: "Do you need help with the folders?"

'No guy has ever asked if he could help me...' I thought to myself.
"Sure, you can carry about a half of them, and I'll have the other half." I poured about five or six folders into his arms and he was smiling at me the whole time.

I quickly fetched my red scarf as we went by the lockers and Erik helped me to put in the few folders I didn't need to do homework from.

We exited the building and went a few minutes until we came along my house.

"May I stop home to put away these folders?" I asked carefully.
He turned his head and answered: "Of course. Why couldn't you? It's your home."

I have to say, I have never met a nicer guy in my life.
Erik stopped at the fence and sat down on the extended little piece of it.

I ran inside and upstairs, into my room. I put the folders into the little bookshelf which I marked 'Homeworks'. I threw my bag onto my bed and took just my phone.

As I ran down the stairs, my mom came into view.
"Hi Chrissy! Where are you rushing?"
"Um, my friend is waiting for me outside."
My mom gave me the look that I believe is called the 'swag face'.

"Don't do anything nasty, darling."
"Mom!" I yelled. She really has to tease me, doesn't she?

I went outside, finding Erik on the fence and Aeisha by him, purring.
"I see you and Aeisha like each other." He looked at me and Aeisha crawled over his knees to me. I scratched her head behind her ears and under her chin.
I took Aeisha into my arms and she put her front paws onto my shoulder, her tail waving side to side on the other shoulder.

We arrived at a very tall house with black walls and an outer balcony on the ground level.

"We're here." Erik said as we stopped at the beautiful black fence. He opened the door and we walked along the cobble pathway.

We came to the grand door in the front and Erik opened them.
"Ladies and angels first." He said with a smile.
I returned him the smile and stepped inside.
'A guy just called you an angel, Christine!' I internally screamed at myself.

The inside of the house was as beautiful as the outside. I hanged my blazer onto the hanger by the door and also my bag.

Erik lead me into a room up the stairs and at the end of the corridor. Behind the door was a gorgeous room with a high ceiling and a chandelier. The walls were decorated with paintings. On the side was a majestic organ and opposite it was a black piano.

"This is so beautiful!" I squeed. This was perfect.

Erik came to the piano and picked out a few papers from the matching cabinet next to the piano.

I neared him. "Are you going to play to me?" I asked, pointing at the scores.

"I will, only if you accompany me." He said as he came closer and handed me half of the scores.
