Deal, because I am.

time to leave
does this heart belong to me?
I only want to keep a secret

Every night, I die in her arms. As we reach the climax, my heart
pounds faster and faster until it stops completely in that one
achingly perfect moment. I look over her milky-white shoulder to the
moon beyond, glowing like an opal in a diamond-lit sky, and I pass
on, my heart stopped in my chest and my eyes still, staring past her
as her body shudders and freezes above mine, her fingers deep inside
me.
And in the morning, with the sun shining onto the copper of her
hair, I am reborn. Like a baby, I wrap myself around her, my head on
her chest, feeling the beat of her heart loud against my ear. She
holds me in the glimmering sunshine, her breath hot and slow on my
shoulder. I open my eyes, the eyes of a child, and see the thick
fringe of her lashes against her cheek, casting a shadow down her
pale skin.
She always wakes up when I move, so I hold still as long as
possible, breathing shallowly, trying to freeze that one perfect
moment where neither of us moves or breathes or is even really alive
- that one moment before her eyes open and she too, is born again.
Then her eyes open and she looks at me - her eyes the colors of
grass and a sky full of clouds and ripe olives - and her eyes hold
such innocence for a prostitute, such - purity. I have a moment's
fantasy of diving into her eyes, of swimming in among the flecks of
color and dregs of honeyed thoughts left from her previous life.
And then she's up, and about business, getting bathed and dressed
and helping my with my hair and makeup for another busy day. There's
always another rehearsal, another show, another stupid punter.
But today, I'm sitting at the dressing table, applying kohl to my
eyes when she comes behind me - I see her reflected in the clear,
clean glass of the mirror - and places her red lips on my bare
shoulder. It's just a brush - they're really barely there - but it
sends a hot shock wave through my entire body as she pulls away, the
tiny, rouged spot where her lips rested (only a moment ago!) growing
cold in the chilly air.
She doesn't go far, though. Instead, she's fixing my hair, her
delicate fingers wrapped in my chignon, white inside the black
strands, smoothing it down where I had a few thin, struggling locks
poking up from the otherwise immaculate style.
I think of the other girls, as her fingers send more of those
shockwaves through my body (down the scalp, past the ears, reddening
with it, through my neck at lightning speed, pausing at my breasts,
right into the pit of me). Do they hear us, at night, in fits of
passion long after the customers are gone? Do they imagine her, as I
do, while bathing? They'd never guess that she has a mole on her
stomach, or that the hair on top is actually two shades lighter than
the hair below.
They may imagine her, but at night I get to die in her arms.
They must never know. Harold, Marie, the Stagemanager, the other
girls; none of them must ever know. It was part of The Agreement,
back at the beginning, when we were first in the same bed together,
and her hands found their way to the lacings of my night-shift.
"They must never know," I told her. "None of them. It's Our
Secret."
"Agreed," she said, then: "No love, either."
I shook my head, though I know she didn't see it in the darkness,
so I spoke as well. "No love. Can't afford love."
They were words drilled into us since we were little, meant for
the punters.
Don't love the punters, I want to tell her.
But I've fallen for her, I really have. I love the way her fingers
look, wrapped in my hair, fixing my clumsy styling. I love it when
she looks up at me across the stage, giving me a broad grin of her
perfect teeth - and the way they glint that makes me tingle where
whatever mark she left me the night before is located.
I simply adore her at mealtimes, when her famous voice enters
discussions at a volume so low that at first no one hears her, then
suddenly, when they realize what she said and the logic of her
argument, agree with her completely.
I love you, I want to tell her as she plucks a comb from the table
and tilts her head to look at my hair, wondering where to put it.
I adore you. I want to sing it from the rooftops, to dance with
you onstage, to forget all about this stupid little Agreement. It
doesn't have to be Our Secret anymore; I don't want it to be. I love
you, I want to tell her.
But she's placing the comb in my hair, checking her lithe profile,
moving towards the door. Her hair gleams over her shoulder, only a
couple shades darker than her dress, glinting in the sunlight. I have
to tell her now. It'll be easier if I do it sooner.
"Satine?" She pauses, turns to me.
Smacks me in the face with the perfection of her beauty.
Just say it.
Let's drop The Agreement.
I love you.
"Thanks," I touch my hair and smile slightly. She inclines her
head, gives me the vaguest hint of a grin.
"Anytime."
And then she's gone.
