Christian awoke that morning to see Satine at his side. Something he had never seen before. Even when they were together in Montmartre, they would never sleep at one another's garrets. There was too much of a risk of being caught. He smiled widely as he watched her chest fall up and down. She had a small smile on her face. 'I cannot believe this woman loves me.' He thought, looking over all of Satine's features. 'She is so beautiful, so smart, and so wonderful. How did I get lucky enough to get her?' he thought. He kissed her forehead. And not being able to resist, moved down to her mouth. Satine smiled as she was being awoken by Christian's kiss. She kissed him back, more than willingly. After awhile they pulled away. "I am sorry to wake you up. You were just so beautiful lying there I couldn't help myself." Christian explained. "What'd I do to deserve you?" she asked, sleepily. "Funny, I was just wondering the same thing." He told her and she smiled wider. "I like this. Sleeping the night with you, waking up and you being here. It makes me feel safe." She told him. "Are you ready to get up? We can go somewhere for breakfast and then we can move your things into my new garret." He told her. "That sounds like a good idea." He told him. They both pulled themselves out of bed to get dressed.
Christian held Satine's hand as the walked out of the hotel and down the street to the nearest café. He felt so proud walking down the streets of London holding the hand of his beautiful love. Satine had a smile on her face that she never thought would leave her. She could never be happier than she was at that moment. She finally felt like she was where she was supposed to be. They walked into the café and were seated by a waitress. Christian, who hadn't been eating much of anything since he thought he lost Satine, ordered a huge plate of eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes. Satine ordered a ham and cheese omelet. She giggled as the waitress left. "What?" Christian asked with a smile on his face. "You aren't hungry at all now are you?" she laughed. He grabbed her hand across the table. "No, not at all." He responded. Satine laughed again. "I can't wait for you to see my new garret, Satine. You'll love it. It's bigger than my old one. It has a kitchen, one main room, a washroom, and a bedroom. It has a beautiful view of London off the balcony." She smiled at him. "Just as long as it's you and I and no Duke, I am happy. All I need is you." She told him. "And you can tell everybody, that this is your song. It may quite simple but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is now you're in the world." He sang to her quietly. She grinned at him. "That song made me fall in love with you." She told him, squeezing his hand. "And every word of it is true." He told her. Their food came and they ate their food quietly while exchanging looks and smiles at each other.
"Christian, this is absolutely wonderful!" Satine said in amazement. "I knew you would like it." Christian replied. Satine wondered through the garret admiring all it's qualities. She walked into the bedroom and out on the balcony. "Wow." She breathed as she saw the view. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her. She leaned back into them. "We should unpack." She told him. "Yes, we should." He answered but neither of them moved. They both laughed a little. "I love you." He whispered in her ear. "I love you." She whispered back and turned around to face him. He smiled at her as they leaned in to kiss. They pulled apart.
"Never knew I could feel like this"
Satine smiled and Christian continued.
"Like I've never seen the sky before Want to vanish inside your kiss Every day I love you more and more"
He began to sing with more intensity and he grabbed her hand.
"Listen to my heart can you hear it sing Telling me to give you everything Seasons may change winter to spring But I love you until the end of time Come what may Come what may I will love you until my dying day"
Satine's smile grew wider as she sang.
"Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace"
Christian grinned as he thought about how true the next line was as he sang with her.
"Suddenly my life doesn't seem such waste"
She leaned her forehead against his and sang her next line.
"It all revolves around you"
She gave him a quick peck on the lips before they both started sing.
"And there's no mountain too high No river too wide Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide"
He looked straight into her eyes and sang his solo line.
"But I love you"
She smiled as she gladly returned the phrase.
"I love you"
Christian joined in again, gripping her hands tighter, as though she'd run from him. She squeezed back, letting him know she wasn't going anywhere.
"Until the end of time Come what may Come what may I will love you until my dying day"
They both sang in perfect harmony. The world around them had stopped. All that mattered was them in that place.
"Oh come what may Come what may I will love you"
She could feel tears of absolute happiness in her eyes as she sang alone.
"I will love you Suddenly the world the world seems such a perfect place"
They grinned from ear to ear as they sang out in intensity. A tear escaped from Satine's eye.
"Come what may Come what may I will love you until my dying day"
He kissed her. With so much passion. She didn't object. After a long while, they pulled away. Christian saw the stray tear on Satine's cheek. "Darling, why are you crying?" he asked as he whipped the tear away with his thumb. She smiled and looked into his eyes. "It's been so long since we have sang that song together. I was used to it being a solo." She said with a sad laugh. "I just missed you so, so much and you have no idea how much I needed you to sing that song with me. I thought I would never hear it again." She explained, a few more tears rolling down her cheeks. "Oh, god. Satine, don't cry. I hate to see you upset. I am here now. We are together. Nothing can separate us now. We are going to be together forever." Christian told her. She smiled through her tears. "I love you." She whispered. "I love you, too." He replied and gave her a kiss on the tip of her nose.
They spent the rest of the day un-packing their things. When they were done, the combination of their belongings turned the garret, which only came with a bed, couch, fireplace, and stove, into a home. Christian's typewriter was set up on his desk in the bedroom. The closet was full of their clothing. One side was Satine's the other's Christian's. Satine had given the place a good cleaning and it sparkled. Christian had made a fire in the fireplace. Though it was summer, the nights got cold sometimes. Christian sat on the couch when he was satisfied the fire wouldn't go out. Satine came up behind him and started to rub his shoulders. He smiled when he felt her touch. He leaned his head back to look at her. She smiled and continued to rub his shoulders. "I am hoping that this not a dream." Christian told her. "What do you mean?" she asked him. "Well, this seems so perfect. You and me together. We have our own garret. Where we live together. We can go out and not hide anymore. I just hope it's not a dream." He explained to her, with his eyes closed, but a smile on his face. "Well, if it were a dream," she said circling around the couch and sitting in his lap. "Would a kiss feel this good?" she asked and kissed him. He smiled as they kissed. "Nope, never had a dream that good." He laughed. "How bout we make this dream a little better?" Satine asked with a sparkle in her eyes. "You red my mind, darling." He told her and kissed her again. They stopped and he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed. They both rid of their clothing and kissed again. "I love you." They said in unison and they smiled and continued on what they began.
