The next few days melded together in a perfect blend of love and happiness. With the Duke gone forever, Christian and Satine no longer needed to hide their love from the world. Secretly, Satine had been afraid that the forbidden aspect was the driving force behind their love. She knew she loved Christian, but would it begin to fade when there were no more secret meetings and stolen kisses? But as the days turned into weeks, Satine knew that her fears had been unfounded. Approval had proved to be sunshine that had caused their "bud of love" to blossom into a "beauteous flower." The secret meetings and stolen kisses were no more, but Christian always found a way to keep everything new and interesting. Satine's reverie was interrupted when Christian burst into the garret, their garret now, with a look of irrepressible excitement on his face.
"Satine! You have to come with me, quickly!" cried Christian, bouncing up and down like a small child waiting to open a present. He grabbed her hand and proceeded to practically pull her out the door and down to the street.
"Christian," said Satine breathlessly, after virtually running for a few minutes, "where are we going?"
"Hush, you'll see!" responded Christian, the smirk on his face growing bigger by the minute.
After walking for what seemed like miles, Satine began to recognize where they were going.
"Christian! We had the picnic with the Duke here," said Satine, slightly confused as to why he would bring her here, of all places.
"Yes, I know, but I came back here once after that, and I promise you, you'll be glad we came."
The lovers took a seat on the blanket that Christian had prepared, and for a short time, simply enjoyed being in each other's arms. As the happy couple watched, the sun began to set, and the sky looked as if the colors on a painter's palate had blended together to form the most perfect hues. The image was breathtaking.
"Christian," whispered Satine breathlessly, "this is magnificent."
"Shh, there's more," cautioned Christian.
As the colors from the sky began to fade, stars began to appear, like diamonds on a background of black velvet. As Satine was gazing up at the night sky, a shooting star appeared.
"Christian! It's a shooting star, I've never seen one of those before."
"Well, my darling, then you must make a wish," began Christian, and proceeded to laugh when Satine shut her eyes tight.
"Don't laugh at me, you insolent boy!" said Satine indignantly.
"I'm not, I promise," said Christian, suppressing a smile.
"Oh, yes you are. You're eyes are laughing. But that's one of the things that I love most about you."
Christian smiled. "Well, what did you wish for?"
"I can't tell you that! Then it won't come true."
Christian put his arms around Satine, and pulled her down, so they were laying on the blanket. "I know what I wished for," he whispered in her ear, "I wished that this moment would never end."
"Christian, sing to me," said Satine dreamily.
Christian was more than happy to oblige.
"Goodnight my angel, now its time to sleep. And still so many things I want to say, remember all the songs you sang for me, when we went sailing on an emerald bay? And like a boat out on the ocean, I'm rocking you to sleep. The water's dark, and deep inside this ancient heart, you'll always be a part of me. Goodnight my angel, now its time to dream, about how wonderful your life will be. Someday we'll all be gone, but lullabies go on and on. They never die, and that's how you and I will be…"
Christian looked down, and saw that Satine had fallen asleep in his arms. As he held her just a little bit tighter, he closed his eyes, ready to spend a night with his love under the stars.
A/N: I used the song "Lullaby (Goodnight my angel) by Billy Joel, but I just changed some of the order around. Also "bud of love" and beauteous flower" is from Romeo and Juliet.
This chapter was complete fluff! But I promise there will be some plot twists soon.
