Be Careful What You Wish For
Chapter 4

"Christian?" her voice broke the silence in the street, "Christian, is that you?"
Christian emerged from the fog, the woman gasped and ran toward him. He backed away, for all he knew she could be some crazy drunk woman. As she got closer he realized who she was. It was Satine.
"Love, I knew you'd come back" she kissed his cheek.
"What, who are you?"
"Satine. Christian, don't you remember? Oh God!" she placed her hand over her mouth and broke into silent sobs. Christian had no idea what he had done.
"Don't cry" was all he managed to say.
"You left. I had to marry the duke, and now you're back. But you remember nothing"
"What on earth is there to remember?"
She wiped her cheeks with her hands. " You came to Montmartre almost two years ago." she smiled a little, "I thought you were the duke, and we wrote Spectacular Spectacular together. It was huge success. But that's not the point. Anyway, the duke found out that we were in love, and he got so jealous, oh, very jealous. He said he was going to kill you if he saw us together. I had no other choice but yo lie and say that I loved the duke. But I never did, and I still don't love him now. And then you left and I never saw you again until now." She looked up at him and smiled a very weak smile. "But you don't remember me".
"Well."
"Well, I have to go now. The duke is probably worried, husbands get like that".
"Wait!" Satine turned around.
"Met me here tomorrow, I want to know more. If all this is true than, maybe, you could help me remember".
"What time?" she asked.
"You'll know"
"Alright. Bye Christian, nice to see you again".
- Next Day
Christian had gotten up really early so he would have time to think. He did not know what time he was planning on being in the street. But he believed if fate was on their side they would be there at the same time.
-With Satine
"Sweet, where are you going?"
"Well, I guess it's time to tell you. I've been thinking about having moreChildren" Satine lied.
"But, we haven't even been on our honeymoon yet!"
"And about that. I don't want to go on a honeymoon. I'm a simple girl, we love eachother, and that's all that matters. As I was saying, I would like to go for a walk" The duke straightened up. "Alone". He slumped back into his chair. "So I going to seize this lovely morning as an opportunity" The duke could not protest, it was a lovely time to take a walk. And he'd been letting Satine have some alone time lately.
