Chapter 6- Excuses and Lies

(J, this chapter is for you 😂)

Angel scratched the back of his neck, laughing nervously. "Ahh, you don't have to do that! She'll.... She'll be all over you, we'll be drinking a bunch and she's really sexual when she's drunk....."

Husk raised an eyebrow. "But I put up with you when you're sober. I think I can deal with some chick when she's drunk, she wouldn't remember saying anything in the morning."

Angel bit his lip, taking a deep breath. "Fine. Hold on, I.... Forgot something in my room." He walked back into his room, pulled out his phone, and rapidly started texting Cherri.

'Cherri, I gotta get you to cover for me today. Mind me comin' over?'
'What shit have you gotten yourself into this time Angie??'
'I just need to get away from Val for the night. I'll be bringin' a friend too.'
'Yeah, a friend... Get your drag ass over here bitch! And bring your whiskey stash!'

Angel smiled, pocketing away his Hellphone, and grabbing his bottle of whiskey. He strode back out to Husk, briefly flashing him the whiskey bottle ad walking past him towards the elevator to the main lobby.

Neither of them said a word, but they didn't need to. It was a form of comfortable silence that they both enjoyed when they were with each other at Husk's bar and had no idea what to say.

But then he realized he was gonna have to talk to Val too, and his heart clenched in his chest. The spider demon was already in his usual strip club attire; lucky enough for him he had put on a cropped hoodie, a black tight skirt and thigh-high heart garter stockings, and he sighed in defeat, pulling out his phone. Husk glanced over at him in concern, but he looked away. The lanky demon fell back a bit behind Husk, called Val, and started on how fast he answered.

"What's goin' on Angel baby~? You aren't telling me you wanna cancel, are you~? You wouldn't do that to daddy, right..?" The threatening but delicate voice of his boss sent uncomfortable chills down his spine.

"W-well..."

"Angel. You aren't canceling. Are you~?"

"I'm.. Feeling a little sick.."

"Oh? Then why can I hear you outside?"

Angel cursed himself inwardly, but replied, "I just.. Left my window open so I can get some clean air."

Val seemed to growl over the phone, making Angel flinch.
"Oh. Oh okay. So you think your job is something you can just leave whenever you want?! You aren't even supposed to be out of the fucking studio right now!"

"V-Val, calm down a lit-"
"Angel. I'm- I'm done. I'm sending someone over to that shitty hotel to get you. If you aren't there, I'll send someone to wherever your slutty, ungrateful ASS ends up to. Have fun while you can."

"Val, no!"
Angel's heart stopped as he heard the line go dead. He ran to Husk, tugging his wrist and dragging him to Cherri's house, much to the grumpy cat's confusion and annoyance.

Husk guessed that Angel just wanted to get to Cherri's house as soon as possible. But Angel had a different plan in mind.

Angel didn't know it yet, but Val was always three steps ahead. Three. Steps. Ahead.
