Chapter Eleven

Sebastian Maximilien's POV:

After that little fiasco that transpired today, Lucien and I went back to his apartment complex since he needed to de-stress from today's events for a bit.

"Monsieur, baby, come over here, my love." Lucien let out in a baby-like tone to his ghoulish-looking feline that was lazily lounging on the dining room coal-colored barstool.

Just merely glancing at that cat gave me the heebie-jeebies. Now, I am not confessing that I have anything against the kitty. But I do not believe that Monsieur is too fond of me being around here judging from the hostile stares and hisses he makes towards me.

I physically grimaced while gazing upon the sight of Lucien kissing the bald creature's head. "Oh my-. Lucien, please put that alien down, and come with me." I mumbled out, sharply tugging on his sleeve.

Lucien quickly whipped around at the speed of light and glared at me with a scowl of contempt. "If you call Monsieur an alien one more time, I will not hesitate to kick you out of my apartment, Sebastian!" Lucien exclaimed, cradling the hairless goblin back and forth in his arms like an infant.

"Now, apologize to him, Sebastian," Lucien announced, gesturing to the lethargic feline in his arms.

I let out a laugh at his incredulous statements. There was no way in hell he was making me do such ridiculous things. "You have got to be kidding me," I told him, shaking my head at his bizarre claims.

Lucien promptly shook his head in return." No, I am not kidding. I want you to apologize to him." Lucien asserted while ogling at me with his hazy yet still bright blue eyeballs.

I let out a sigh of defeat a few minutes later when I discerned that Lucien was not giving up. "Cat, I am sorry for calling you an alien," I muttered out, rolling my eyes at what just came out of my mouth.

Lucien sucked his teeth while wagging his finger at me like a grade school teacher. "No, do it again. I want you to say it like you really mean it. And also, address Monsieur by his proper name as well." He announced, gently placing Monsieur on the hardwood floor.

Lucien is so lucky that he has got me whipped as hell. If someone else requested me to do such ludicrous things, I would have back-slapped them so vigorously into the closet right from where they came out.

In an instant, I dramatically dropped to my knees, maintaining eye contact with the creature's glassy turquoise orbs.

I let out a breathy gasp as I attempted to stifle back my fit of chuckles. "Monsieur Le Chat XIV, I retract my previous statements, and I sincerely apologize for saying such untrue things about you. In fact, you are the most handsome prince I have ever seen in all my years of living." I let out, unwillingly apologizing to the hairless creature.

The cat stared at me for a good moment until going back to his once apathetic state. "Meow!" The alien sharply hissed as he stepped away from me to lick himself clean.

"Aww, Sebastian. You see, that was not so hard at all, was it?" Lucien told me, obsessing like an anime fanboy.

In an attempt to stop my feelings of shame, I hastily shifted the subject. "So, Lucien, let us get down to business. Do you have drugs in here?" I inquired, motioning around his apartment.

He looked at me with extreme alarm. "What, n-no. Yesterday, I gave them all to the carpenter in exchange for him to fix my dishwasher." He explained, letting out muffled gasps in between.

Ah, Lucien is such a terrible liar. Although, I have to admit that some of his fibs are creative. But they are a bit too-creative. Sometimes to make a lie believable, you have to make it bland. And I undoubtedly know from prior experience.
