Chapter six: Unexpected Surprise

When the girl had finished her song she left and Christian sat back a thought about her. Was she really Satine? None of the others had noticed the resemblance. Christian decided that he had to find out if it was really her. So, He left the Moulin Rouge in quite a hurry and gave no time to explain to satie or even to let him chase after him. Christian headed over to the Elephant in the garden.

He walked right up to her door and again took a deep breath. He softly knocked on the door and the women that answered was not Satine but Marie, Satine's maid. Marie let out a great gasp.

"Your him aren't you? You're Christian. The boy from ten years ago?"

"Yes mam. Listen I have a very important question is Sat......." Christian was interrupted by a girl who opened the door. The girl was none other than Satine. Before looking at Christian she asked, "Who is it?" Then when she got a good look she began to cry and she ran into his arms.

"Christian! You're here. You have come back for me!"

"Yes, Satine. I love you." He too began to cry and he embraced her and they hugged. They went into a deep soft kiss. "I came all the way from London just to see you. I Love you Satine."

"I love you Christian. I waited for you for ten years. My dreams have finally come true. I knew you would come back."

Marie left them alone to catch up. They started to kiss and wouldn't stop. They each took turns in telling the other that they loved them. Then before they could stop themselves they were unbuttoning the other. They made love right there.

Satine was lying in Christians arms in the bed. They were talking and catching up on things. Christian wanted it to last forever but he knew that sooner or later he would have to tell her that he was married. He would smell her hair and she would play with his fingers. They were reunited and they wanted to stay that way forever.

"I thought you were dead Satine?" Christian asked her ever so innocently.

" Well it turns out that in the Duke poisoned my drinks so that I would faint at random times. He did it so he could surprise people and be a knight in shining armor and he would try and swoon me. One night it went to far and the Duke knocked me out for that one night when I was supposed to meet you. They all thought I was dying from Syphilis. Then the night of the show there had been to much of it in my system that it made me weak which made it seem like I had died but the doctors helped me and I got better soon due to lots of bed rest."

"So for that whole year that I was still in Montmartre you never came to see me?" Christian asked furiously.

"They had told me that you had run away with a beautiful women. That is up until five years ago when Harold told me the truth. So what brought you here to see me?"

"Well one day when I was up in the attic, looking for, uh, something, I came across a box and felt like I should open it. I did and inside was our story. The story I had written that whole year after you had died. I thought it would be good to come here and maybe reunite with other people like Toulouse. Then I found out Toulouse had died and it devastated me. Now here I am next to you in this bed that only 10 years ago you tried to make love to me on." Christian closed his eyes and remembered that time.

"Gosh, I am getting cold."

"Here take my jacket." Christian handed her his dress jacket he had worn to dinner. A picture of Kaydence had fallen out and Satine picked it up after she finished putting that jacket on.

" Who is this?" Satine said looking at the picture. Christian opened his eyes and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"Uh, that's my uh niece. Rapunzel."

"Oh, she is cute." She put the picture down and she kissed Christian. She got out of bed and started to get dressed. "Sorry Christian, I have to go talk to Harold about something important. I Love you. Goodbye" Satine left in a hurry.
