Be Careful What You Wish For
Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I own nothing. :P
The italics are Satine's thoughts
"So, let me get straight. We fell in love, and then you left me. I went back England, and now I don't remember any of this?"
"That's pretty much the basics"
"This is insane. Why should I believe you?" Christian began to pace.
"Do you really think I'd lie to you?"
Christian thought she was lying, but it wouldn't have been so easy to make all of it up. "No" he replied.
"Well, you know everything. Shall we go for a walk?" Satine asked.
"Where were you really when you didn't come to my garret at eight?" Satine hadn't told him about that. Was he remebering?
"How do you know that?"
"I really don't know. That sounds stupid, but I don't" Satine looked at him funny, and then frowned.
"Do you love me?" Satine blurted out.
"What?"
"Do you love me?"
Christian did not say anything.
"Oh"she looked down at her shoes. "Silly of me to think you could have fallen in love me. I'm married. What was I thinking" Satine got up and walked away.
"Wait!"
"Give me one reason to stay here, and I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here, and I'll turn right back around
I don't want to leave you lonely
But you got to make me change my mind"
"When I get older, and losing my hair, many years from now
Will you still be sending my valentine, birthday greeting, bottle of wine?"
Will you still feed me, will you still need me
When I'm 64"
"And if you say the words, I could stay with you" Satine picked up the pace.
"I love you" Satine didn't bother stopping, it was pity love. Christian stopped chasing her.
"When the day is done
And the world is sleeping
And the moon is on its way to rise
When your friends are gone
You thought were so worth keeping
You feel you don't belong
Neither do I"
"I said I love you,
There ain't no more to say" Christian turned of his heels and did not see Satine stop.
"You and your sweet smile
You and all your tantalizing ways
You and your honey lips
You and all the sweet things that you say
You and your wild wild ways
One day you just up and walked away" Satine sang quietly to herself.
"Come What May" a single tear ran down her face. She had cried to many times of Christian, enough was enough. She only had one tear left inside her, and that was now gone.
"I will love you until my dying day" Christian grabbed Satine's waist.
"Let me go, I have to fix my hair and make-up before I see the duke"
"Right". He didn't let go.
"I have to go!" she had now started to hit him. "I see you later"
"Promise?"
"Cross my heart and hope to die. Behind the Moulin Rouge, 8 o'clock"
"Okay". He let Satine go. " No kiss?"
"All good things come to those who wait"
"Where were you?" he shouted.
"I told you I was sick!" she laughed and ran down the street.
Satine was feeling magnificent. Christian was back in her life. Her thoughts were invaded but pictures of the duke. The Duke!
What shall I tell him?
Luckily, when she arrived at home Warner informed her that the duke had suddenly left on a business trip. This made Satine's day even brighter, even though it looked as if it was going to rain outside.
"When did he say he will be back?" she asked Warner.
"A couple of days".
"Oh. I will miss him terribly. I'm going to see Harold tonight, I stopped in to see him. He would like to see me. If I do not come home, don't worry. I'll stay over there." She lied. "I must get ready".
"It's five minutes past nine, late!"
"Fashionably late!" she giggled.
"Where were you?"
"I was getting ready, I couldn't come a complete messed." Christian sat down and looked at Satine. "Oh I have god news"
"No, where were you that night?"
"I was sick." Christian eyes pierced her with jealously. "You really want to know?" Christian nodded. "You won't like it"
"I don't care. I want to know the truth".
"I fainted, and then next thing I knew I was told I was dying". He looked concerned. "I told you you wouldn't like it"
"Then your still dying. This is just great, isn't it! Now what?"
"Not anymore". Christian just looked at her.
"What do you mean? If you were told you were dying" Satine placed a finger on his lips to silence him.
"First they thought it was a consumption. Later, after you left, the doctors found out it was asthma. I'm taking medication and I'm fine".
"Are you sure?"
"Positive"
"The what's the god news?"
"Oh, yes. The duke is away on a business trip and won't be back for a couple a days!" Satine frowned.
"Why such the long face?"
"I, this will sound really strange. He's not possessive anymore, not after you left"
"Do you love him?"
"I don't know"
"That makes a man feel a lot better!"
"I don't!" Satine yelled. "And I'm not just saying that. You were gone and I had to put up with him. But now you're back" Satine sat down beside Christian and placed her head on his shoulder. "You're really back"
"I have to go"
"Why so soon?" asked Satine.
"I have to think"
"Oh, okay. You can go, I have to see Zidler anyway" Satine put her hand on his shoulder to help herself up and left. Christian watched her leave.
When she thought Christian had left she slide down a wall and sat and cried on the street.
I've totally screwed this up, big time. Why did bring up the duke. Christian was back with me, he was happy and so was I. Now he thinks I don't love him.
Does he even love me?
Of course he doesn't love me. I'm married and he thinks I'm in love with another man. But I'm not, I only love him. I haven't even told him about the baby. How can I now though? He hates me. He hates me and I'll be lucky if I'll ever see him again.
Does he even love me?
"Let'em talk you down
Call you names
My mind's made up
It ain't gonna change
I'm sure in my heart
Happy and free
You're the one you're the one
You're the one for me
Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does
Never does"
