"Click, click, click." The noise of Satine's heels hitting the floor echoed through the empty hall. She sighed deeply. It had been a long tiresome day, made even longer, knowing that Christian was off in London, due to his grandmother's death.
The golden sun was disappearing on the horizon; soft pink and purple clouds adorned the sky. Monmartre could be beautiful sometimes, but other times it was just an obstacle. Yes Monmartre was her obstacle and the Rouge her cage.
She climbed the spiral staircase, to her elephant, all the while praying the Duke would not be waiting for her. He and his nasally voice and possessive personality were the last thing she needed, while nursing her loneliness. All she wanted, and all she needed, although she was somewhat ashamed to admit it, was for Christian to be beside her, and to wrap his strong arms around her. Every night of his absence she would find herself sneaking out to his garret, and wrapping his blankets around her thin, but willowy body, and like a young adolescent woman dreaming of a man to call her own, Satine dreamt of having him back, and dreamt of curling up beside him for warmth. She even missed his light, snoring.
She opened the ornate golden door. And gasped, there perched on the bed, with a bouquet of flowers and a cheeky grin on his face sat Christian. Around the room, candles set a warm passionate glow to the room, and incense was lit. Satine stood wide-eyed, a look of utter surprise on her pale visage. She then ran into his arms, oh it was so good to have him back. Christian gently kissed her neck, and brushed away a stray tear that had slipped down her cheek.
" Darling what's wrong?" He whispered softly. Satine shook her head and smiled.
" I'm, I'm just happy to see you. I've missed you so much." She pulled him closer. He kissed her head. " I've missed you too love."
He then got up from the bed and walked over to the window, beckoning for her to follow him. She got up, her brow furrowed and head turned to the side as if trying to determine what he was going to do. Christian took her into his arms, and pressed his cheek against hers, softly starting to sing into her ear.
" They were bells, on a hill, but I never heard them ringing no I never heard them at all till there was you." He looked into her eyes his own round spheres shinning with adulation.
" There were birds in the sky but I never saw them winging no I never saw them at all till there was you." He twirled her around gently. She smiled, her heart melting at the sound of his voice.
"Then there was music and wonderful roses, they tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew. There was love all around but I never heard it singing no I never heard it at all till there was you. No I never heard it at all, till there was you. Till there was you."
He then dropped down on one knee and pulled a simple gold band out of his pocket. " Satine I know we've only been together a short time. But in that time, we have promised to love each other come what may, and I've learned that I cannot go on without you, will you marry me?" His voice shook a little with nervousness.
"Christian I can't." Satine said replied sadly. "Oh" Christian whispered with disappointment and he got up slowly. Satine reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him close she leaned into him and whispered into his ear, " I can't until after opening night." Christian grinned and enveloped her into a warm embrace.
"Come what may." They sang to each other, before getting lost in a kiss.
