Chapter 7 You Can't Change The Past

Apologies for the short chapter!

Satine stepped up to the microphone on stage several hours later, her confidence boosted by the many cheers and whistles she received. She was wearing a long, lowcut, simple yet stunning black dress. Around her neck she wore a silver necklace, with a small diamond in the middle of it, the one piece of jewellry she had kept.

"Hello there" she said softly into the microphone, and everyone whistled and applauded. She smiled as she spotted Christian sitting near the front of the stage, and blew him a kiss.

"This song is for a very special someone whos sitting in the audience tonight. Christian, I love you" she said softly, and everybody smiled and said "Awwww"

Satine grinned, and began to sing very quietly:

"So I find a reason to shave my legs

Each single morning

So I count on someone on Friday nights

To take me dancing again

To church on Sundays

To plant more trees

And someday think of kids

Or maybe just save a little money You're the one I need

The way back home is always long

But if you're close to me I'm holding on

You're the one I need

My real life has just begun

Cause there's nothing like your smile made of sun

In the world full of strangers

You're the one I know

So I learned to cook and finally lose

My kitchen phobia

And so I got the arms to cuddle in

When there's a ghost or a news

That brings insomnia

To buy more thongs

To write more happy songs

It always takes a little help from someone

You're the one I need

You're the one I need

Youre my (??) real life has just begun

You're the one I need

You're the one I need

Nothing like your smile made of sun

Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love

Nothing like your love..." The crowd burst into rapturous applause. "WOAAH!" came the cries, and Satine smiled a huge smile. "Thank you, thank you!" she said. "As before, that was for Christian, whom I love very very much!Now, I'm going to have a little break, but I'll be back soon with more songs!Ciao!" and stepped down off the stage. "You were wonderful darling " Christian said, and gave her a huge hug and kiss. "I got you...orange juice. I know you're not too keen on alcohol" "Thank you, you're so sweet!" Satine smiled at him, and sat down. "Satine?" a deep voice said into her ear. Satine froze, her glass halfway up to her mouth.That voice...Slowly she turned round, and said in a shaking voice "Hello Rupert"

Note: The song is "The One" by Shakira.
