Chapter 4

Disclaimer: Alright I don't own anything in the story…I'm not even sure I own Rachel….I'll have to run that by Rachel. Oh and I forgot to say this in the other three chapters, I just wanted to let you know that I am going to be using the lyrics from the show…..which I do not own…..i hope that's alright.

After the whole ordeal. Satine and the rest of the people had the Duke wrapped around their fingers. Christian and the rest of the men had already left but Monica, Rachel and Satine decided to take that time out to have a good old fashion sleepover.

"So…tell us what you think about Christian." Rachel asked Satine. She just smiled and looked the other way.

"I think that he is a very attractive man but…I have to look out for the…investments." Satine now had a discouraged look on her face.

"Yeah. Good thing you do that. Leave him to me because well…I want him!" Monica blurted out. There was a sudden silence then a small sound on the balcony.

It was Christian, he had a most uncomfortable look on his face. He thought that Satine would be alone. "Sorry, I'm sorry . . . I didn't mean . . . I saw-I saw your light on. I climbed up the . . ."

"I couldn't sleep and I-I wanted to thank you for helping me get the job." Christian said with his eyes not meeting Satines.

"Wait . . . no please wait. Before when we were-when we…when you thought I was the Duke and you said that you loved me. And I-I wondered if-if . . ." His eyes were now locked on Satines. He had to know the truth. He had to know whether or not it was real.

"it was just an act?" Satine asked.

"Yes" Satine said. Rachel wanted to tell Christian that she was lying and that it was real but Monica cut her off.

"Well there you have it. She doesn't like you. Hey? Are you free this weekend?"

"Monica!" Rachel whispered.

"Oh, It just felt real" Christian said ignoring what Monica was saying. She could have announced her feelings to him but he still would have only paid notice to Satine.

Satine the said with a small fake smile. "Christian, I'm a courtesan, I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe."

Christina looked the other way. He was now facing Monica but not looking at her. "Yes . . . silly of me, to think that you could fall in love with someone like me."

"I COULD!" Monica said. She was waiving her arms ina desperate attempt to get Christians attention. He didn't pay any.

"Oh I can't fall in love with anyone." Satine said to Christian.

"I have got to think of something to get Christian to like me." Monica said with a strategic and puzzled look on her face.

"Can't fall in love? But a life without love that's terrible." Christian said with a shocked look on her face." No, being on the streets, that's terrible." Satine said trying to justify.

"An I suppose working them is any better?" Monica asked under her breathe.

"Shhhh. It's coming up." Rachel said in anticipation.

"OH." Monica said in a sarcastically surprised voice. She wasn't that ready to hear Christian and Satine confess their love to one another.

But instead she heard, "I can believe that you would think something like that." Christian said in a now slightly appalled tone.

"Well, I don't real care for what you believe." Satine said. Her volume began to rise.

At this point Christian and Satine were getting really damn confused. Christian was supposed to be singing to Satine at this point but instead they were still arguing. Something wasn't adding up. "What the hell is going on?" Rachel asked Monica.

"Beats me." Monica said with a equally puzzled look on her face.

They then turned to see that Christian and Satine were coming closer and closer together.

"Are they going to kiss?" Rachel asked.

"I hope not." She replied.

I think they are."

WRONG!

What was suppose to be a kiss on the lips was a slap on the face on Satines behalf.

"WOAH WOAH WOAH This is getting WAY WAY too far. I think we both need to cool down wouldn't you agree?" Rachel said. She then grabbed Satine and led her outside the room.

"What the hell was that?" Monica asked.

"Shouldn't you know. You know everything else." Christian said with a sneer.

Monica paused for a moment. She had never seen Christian this…well… sarcastic. She walked up to him and gave a firm slap upside the head. "I don't know what kind of girl you take Satine for my I don't play that."

Christian looked confused.

MONICA THINKING: oh yeah. Too modern of a languare.

"Well how about this…talk to me like that again, you'll me sorry."

Christian sighed and the stood up. "I'm sorry, it's just that I have never seen anyone react to love in such a negative fashion. No love; is like oxygen. Love is a many splendid things. Love lifts us up to where we belong. All you need is love."

MONICA THINKING: Are you shitting me.

"I think you'd better think about this before you…"

Monica rushed to the door.

♪ Don't leave me this way, I can't survive without your sweet
love, oh baby. Don't let me this way♪

Monica stops and turns around as if she is forced to stay there.

♪You think you would've seen the was a felt through a silly love song♪

♪ I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no.♪

♪Around you cant help but sing a silly love song♪

♪ Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know, cause here I go
again! Love lifts us up where we belong.♪

Christian was now standing on outside of Satines balcony. He was in a very dangerous position one false move and he would have been sent plummeting to his death.

♪When choosing love I act a fool. Willing to throw my life away or one happy day.♪

♪I will always love you!♪

♪I wont stop loving♪

♪ How wonderful life is . . .♪

♪How wonderful life is, now you're in the world.♪

Monica then did the unthinkable. She gave Christian a long passionate kiss.

♪How wonderful life is, now you're in the world . . . ♪

"Who was that?" Christian asked confused.

"That was Toulouse." Monica said with her eyes partly close. She had been wanting to do that ever since the moment she saw him.

Satine entered the room now cool, calm and collected. "Christian, I'm sorry, I did not mean to…"

"It's alright." Christian said still trying to get over the shock of the kiss.
