Chapter 9 -Dare She...?
The next morning, Satine woke up and yawned, shattered from last nights performance. An uneasy feeling hit her stomach as she remembered Rupert last night. He had acted like a complete bastard, but still...
"Morning darling" Christian woke up, and yawned sleepily, before kissing her cheek. "Sleep well?"
"Great thanks..."Satine said, and thought back to her dreams last night. Shock hit her as she realised she had dreamt about Rupert, her and him, together...
"I woke up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water, and you were sleeping so happily, a great big smile on your face!Nice dream?" Christian asked her.
"Oh...I cant really remember it" Satine lied, and moved off the bed into the bathroom. She shut the dor behind her, and leaned wearily on the sink. She wasnt supposed to have any more feelings for Rupert!!Christian...dear, sweet Christian, who loved her more than anything in the world. She loved him, not Rupert!He had hurt her so...Christian wouldnt.
Breathing hard, she splashed cold water on her face, and then plastered a smile on it. She emerged from the bathroom again, and Christian grinned back at her.
"What are your plans for today, darling?" she asked him, and massaged his shoulders as he sat down at the typewriter.
"Writing a new story. Our story. How we met, fell in love...and hopefully, stay together forever!" he said, typing furiously.
"Oh Christian!That'll be fabulous!" Satine said, and kissed him. "Do you really think people will be interested in our story?"
"Of course they will darling!Its got everything...drama, suspense...and best of all, romance" he grinned at her.
Satine giggled. "Nobody could write it like you could"
"Why thank you!What will you be doing with yourself today?" he said.
"Hmm...im not sure. I might just go down to The Belle, and hang out there. I might go see if I could find some old friends" she said, and picked up the dress she had worn last night. The card Rupert had given her fluttered to the floor. Very slowly she bent down and picked it up, stuffing it into her hand.She quickly got dressed, put on her makeupand put it in her pocket.
"Bye darling!" she kissed him again, and he looked up from his writing briefly to flash her a warm smile. "Bye!I'll miss you!"
She chuckled "I'll miss you too!" and walked out, closing the door gently behind her.
The card lay in her hand, tainting her. The address was just around the corner, from The Belle, not far atall...
No.No, no no!Christian!
But she'd only be there as a friend...
No!He wanted you again last night!Dont do it!
Satine's breathing has quickened. Dare she...?
Making up her mind firmly, she turned and headed for The Belle.
