The Moulin Rouge was packed as usual and everyone eye's were on the Zidler and his diamond dogs as they made their way up to the stage. Lola looked over the crowd for her regular clients and saw few so tonight maybe she should spend some time with the dashing Argentinean.
"Get your head out of the clouds dear!" shouted China Doll over the crowd "We're Up!"
And so the girls got ready and Zilder started to belt out the familiar chorus. Got some dark desire, want to play with fire? Why not let it rip, live a little bit! Lola hummed along before the diamonds dog sang their famous "Vous le vous couche avec moi?" Then they began to dance with the men.
Just at that moment Lola saw her Argentinean moving towards her. They paired up and he spoke to her in his thick accent
" You visited today, my dear? I am sorry I missed you"
He had to shout over the music to be heard.
"Well, sir it wouldn't have been the first time" Lola replied as they moved in sync
"Yes, I remember all of your visits." He said slyly
She looked at him in surprise. Could he maybe have feelings for her--
Her answer was cut short when the Argentinean was whisked away by Satie and the others. The new boy looked at her in a strange way, kind of to apologize. He could see her feelings for him. She was about to speak when the lights dimmed and the room was silent. She knew what was coming so she ran to her place with Nini, China Doll and the rest to sing back up to the main attraction.
"The French are glad to die for love" sang Satine " They delight in fighting duels but, I prefer a man who lives and gives expensive" she paused and whispered "jewels"
And pow the room exploded with voices of the Can-Can Girls as they belted out their back round vocals and Satine danced and memorized the crowd. Lola new her job and raced back stage to get Satine's next corset. Satine and Lola exchanged words with Zilder about where to find the Duke (who would be backing their beloved club from tonight on if all went well) and Satine danced her way up to meet the Duke while she finished her song and then took him to the floor to dance.
Lola hurried to her spot and found a rather drunken older male partner, named Paul, to dance with. Lola kept glancing over at Satine to see how she and the duke were doing but, Paul kept grabbing her and trying to pull her off the dance floor.
"Please, Sir, let me go! If you want a appointment, talk to Zidler!" Lola begged as she tried to say on her feet as her dragged her into a corner. She wonder if anybody saw what was happening . She started to scream...
"Listen, you wench! This is your job and I intend to make sure I have a little fun tonight!" He raged as he struggled to rip her stocking.
At that moment, she felt him being thrown off of her and a pair of manly arms being wrapped around her.
" Don't worry, my little dove, everything will be alright" the Argentinean spoke softly to her, not to frighten her. "Toulouse and the boys are having him removed. Stay with us tonight, you will be safe with me." he looked deep into her eyes
" AND US!" rang out Toulouse "Come along, we will tell you what we are doing this evening" he giddily spoke " I hope you don't mine climbing on the roof" he laughed " You'll fill her in, right?" he looked at Satie and the Argentinean gaily.
Satie said what was going on with the boho's plan of action to get their play heard and what they were trying to pull off and who was with Satine at that very second!
" You mean, the Duke that is meeting with her now is CHRISTIAN?" Lola gasped in disbelief "So where is the real duke now?"
MORE TO COME.........
