Disclaimer: Yeah, uh huh, well, I own Ben, and Rachael, and the plot,
and…wait, I think that's it. I don't own everything else. There.
A/N: Well, I'm glad you liked that line "EVERYBODY OUT UNTIL I GET SOME PANTS ON!" I found it hilariously funny. So, I've been thinking and I realized my first point of the story was to have Ben and Rachael help Christian and Satine get rid of the Duke. But the real Moulin Rouge story hasn't been in this story a lot. I have to try to get it back in so this is the chapter for that. So sorry if it is really bad! Sorry it's a little short!
Last Time: Ben told Rachael he loved her to her face. Christian and Satine had walked in on them a little earlier doing (cough) you know what.
~~~~~~~Rachael's POV~~~~~~~
I was ecstatic. Ben said he had loved me! This was a happy day! Well, except for Christian seeing me naked…Ok, think happy thoughts…whew.
I was walking to the Moulin Rouge when I was stopped by someone. It was the Duke. Ugh, he was so disgusting.
"My dear," he said, "Kindly tell me where Satine is."
"Oh, I would Duke, except I don't know where she is!" I lied. His face fell and I heard him swear under his breath.
"Of course you know! You're a can-can dancer! You know everything that happens!" he yelled at me.
"But I told you, I don't have any idea where she is!" With that I ran down the street and entered the Moulin Rouge.
A little while later during practice, I saw the Duke sitting next to Satine. He had found her when she came back. He saw me in the shadows and gave me a nasty look. I fought the urge to vomit. Poor Satine, having to put up with that…thing.
Then Ben saw me and came to me. He gave me a kiss but I pulled away. Too late. The duke had seen this and suddenly became very interested. Luckily before he could do anything Christian, having seen this, came over to Satine and the duke and began talking to them.
Ben hadn't seen any of this and gave me a confused look. I pointed to the duke and said, "He saw us." Ben look worried.
"Do you think he'll tell Zidler?" he asked.
I nodded and said, "Why wouldn't he?"
"Then we shouldn't be seen together."
"I'll come to your place tonight."
He nodded. "Goodbye for now." And he went off somewhere. I noticed that Satine and Christian had gone. The duke threw me another nasty look and headed off towards Harold. Then I remembered that Harold thought Ben was paying me, so it was alright. How could I have forgotten?
Having remembered this, I bounded up to Ben and kissed him. He pulled back. "Rachael! What are you doing?" he hissed.
"It's alright!" I told him. "Harold thinks your paying me, remember?"
"Oh, right. Well in that case…" and Ben grabbed me and gave me quite a passionate kiss. The other girls around us stared. I heard one whisper, "How'd she get so lucky to get that actor? What's she got that the rest of us don't?" I smiled to myself. I gave Ben a promising look and walked away.
"Rachael, dear, may I have a word with you?"
"Oh, of course, Harold!" Harold led me into his little office area near the stage.
"The actor, Ben, is paying you is he not?"
"Yes, Harold. I wouldn't be with him if he wasn't!"
"And you're not in love with him?"
"No, Harold."
"Because he seems to be in love with you."
"Well, that will happen sometimes, Harold. Sometimes, men can't resist your lovely Diamond Dogs!"
Harold smiled, but that smile quickly disappeared. "Have you actually received any money from him?"
"…" I didn't know what to say.
"Because, I haven't gotten any money from you that's from him, which leads me to wonder if he isn't paying you."
"Harold, of course he's paying me! He's just…he doesn't have the money at the moment. He…he needs to get it from the bank."
"Good, because I wont allow you to be with him if he doesn't pay soon. You know you can't fall in love, Rachael," he said in a way that made me believe he knew that I was in love with Ben.
I swallowed hard and said, "I know, Harold," quietly. Harold nodded and left. I stood there for a minute wondering what to do.
That night, I went to Ben's as planned. He opened the door and when he saw me, his face lit up and he kissed me. I pushed away and walked inside.
"What's wrong?" he asked me.
"Harold…I, I think he knows something. He knows you haven't paid yet he's beginning to wonder if we aren't in love or something. Ben, I think we might have to end this."
"End it? Rachael what are you talking about? I can just get some money and pay you so Harold doesn't suspect anything…"
"That's the problem, Ben. He does suspect something already. We don't have a choice. We have to end it."
"Rachael, we can'! I love you too much!"
"Ben, I can't do this anymore than you can, but it's for the best! We have to!" I saw that he was about to cry, and so was I. "I'm sorry." I kissed him on the cheek and left.
~~~~~~~Ben's POV~~~~~~~
She just left me. I can't believe it. All that we've been through…and what about last night!?
How could I have been so stupid? Of course this wasn't going to work out! She's a courtesan! Oh, this is just great. How can I last in the show. I'll have to see her everyday and stand not being able to kiss her anymore…how am I going to survive?!
A/N: Oh no! Rachael broke up with Ben? Will they get back together? (Don't kill me I'm not done yet) What's going to happen??
Thanks to reviewers:
MustangSally – Yes, that part was funny (I'll admit it). So this chapter wasn't really, but something dramatic had to happen… anyway, thanks for the review!
Elizabeth – Well, now we know what happened next! I'm assuming most people will kill me for breaking them up, but no fear! If their love is true, they will be back together! (that means if people yell at me, they'll get back together)
Quidam – Everyone thinks that part is funny! I'm so glad I can be funny! Thanks so much for the review! I laugh at them too! Ahahhahaha! I think I'm going insane!
Sparkling Diamond Satine – always a reviewer, and that's cool. I'm not gross enough to include stuff like that and I'm glad no one got mad at me (in other words no really sick pervert read my story). Thanks for another great review!
writinforlife – yes, I read yours and it was good! I'm glad people like my stories 'cause that makes me happy! I'm glad you're hooked (that means more reviews to tell me what you think, eh? Hehe!) Thanks for your excellent review!
Rylie – original characters are fun! You can do whatever with them and they wont seem OOC! I'm glad you like it and I'll make sure to keep posting!
marysa – well drunken girls seemed to fit for a title! I'm trying to think of more great ideas for everyone! Its not easy, but I'm working my butt off all for you all!
Reviews rock! I'm glad you all take a few seconds to let me know what you thought. I come to my computer, see more reviews and I can't wait to start writing again! I just need to think out and finalize some of these ideas I have! I'll make sure to post ASAP! THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU!
