Chapter 12 (Have Breakfast With Me?)

(Elise)

"Elise! Elise! Wake up!" I felt someone shaking my shoulder.

My eyes flew open to see Amanda shaking me awake.

"Hey, sorry to wake you, but I have to go, Jonathan called me. He's locked himself out of his apartment. Again. So I have to go help him." She rambled on.

"Oh, okay let me walk you out." I yawned and stretched.

We walked to the front doors, it was a bright sunny day. The opera house was empty.

"See you at practice this afternoon?" Amanda asked while heading to her car. I stood in the doorway.

"Yeah for sure!" I yelled and waved goodbye.

Amanda waved back and got in her car and sped away. I walked back inside.

'I wonder if Phillip would have breakfast with me. I need to get to know this phantom of the opera.' I thought.

Walking up the stairs to the opera box, I decided I would try and retrace my steps to find Phillip. I walked through the hallways and found what I suspected to be the door to the attic.

"Phillip?" I knocked on the door.

I heard something fall over inside the room and stumbling, and what I think was papers flying everywhere. The door opened slightly.

(Phillip)

"Phillip?" I woke up hearing someone at my door.

It finally occurred to me that it was Elise at my door.

'Elise?! At my door?!'

I jumped out of bed falling flat on my face and let out a grunt. Lifting myself up off of the floor I knocked some sheet music off of a music stand. Arriving at the door I opened it slightly. I saw her standing there in a robe and her yoga pants.

'She looks so beautiful.' I thought. 'Snap out of it and talk to her, stupid!'

"E-elise! What are you doing up here?" I stammered.

"Oh! Um, I wanted to ask if you would like to join me for breakfast?" She asked.

I had stop myself from dropping my jaw to the floor. 'She asked me to join her for breakfast?!'

"I-it's okay if you don't want to." She stated starting to walk away.

"No!" I grabbed her hand. "I would love to." I couldn't help but smile.

"Great!" She grinned widely at my repsonse.

Snapping out of the trance that Elise had over me I quickly released her hand. I raised a hand to the back of my neck and let out a nervous sigh.

"So, uh, breakfast?" I asked trying to free us from the awkward silence.

"Yeah, breakfast!" She giggled.

I walked out the door and followed Elise.

(Elise)

"Yeah, breakfast!" I giggled.

We walked down to the kitchen and the smell of coffee filled the room. I inhaled deeply enjoying the smell.

"Oh! Hello you two!" Renee basically yelled when she had lift her head from the newspaper.

"Hey Renee! Phillip would you like some coffee?" I asked.

"I would love some, thank you." He smiled.
