Deckerstar Oneshots: Book Two

Check Mate

In the months that past Trixie and Chloe found themselves playing chess. It's not that Trixie was bad, let's be honest they both sucked at chess, it's that her mom, for some reason, was insanely good. At least to Trixie's standards. Maze was watching her one evening and listening to the girl complain. They were sat on the couch discussing it.

"It's unnatural how good she is."
"Are you sure she's good at chess."
"Well she's a lot better than me."
"Okay, well why don't you just distract her next time you play?"
"Isn't that cheating?"
"No, you talk while you play right?" Trixie nodded, "So just ask her an uncomfortable question. She'll falter giving you the upper hand."
"Okay, but what do I even ask her?"

Maze pondered for a bit. Many topics made Chloe uncomfortable, but soon a sly smile spread across her face.

"Ask her if she's having sex with Lucifer."
"Ew! Why would I want to know that?"
"You don't, but as much as you don't want to know, she doesn't want to tell you."
"So, I should ask her because she doesn't want to answer?"
"Exactly. It will make her uncomfortable, and you'll win."

Trixie thought it was weird, but worth a shot. The next day her and Chloe were playing another game of chess. Trixir was losing, as usual, so she decided to try Maze's plan.

"Mom," she hesitated before continuing, "are you and Lucifer having sex?"

Chloe was drinking tea, but once the question escaped her daughter's moth it shot into her nose and she started coughing. She cleared her throat before answering.

"Baby, why do you want to know?"
"Well, you spend the night at his place a lot, without me. And sometimes you send me to Maze's when he comes over. So, I'm just wondering what you two do."

All the while talking, they still moved their pieces. Sure enough, Chloe kept faltering allowing Trixie to take the lead.

"Um, maybe we could talk about something else."
"Why? Is sex bad?"
"No! No, it's just... Well I'd be happy to talk about sex as a topic in general, just not about my sex with Lucifer."
"So you admit you're having sex with Lucifer."
"Trixie!"
"Well I'm just saying, what's the difference between talking about sex in general, and talking about you having sex? I mean is your sex different or special some how?"

Chloe was a bright shade of red. She sighed and placed her head in her hands. Trixie stifled a laugh hoping her mom didn't hear it. Chloe looked back up at her daughter, who quickly changed her face back to 'innocent'.

"What am I going to do with you?"
"I dont know, but I'd figure it out quick because I go to high school in two years. Then you'll really be stuck with me."

Chloe laughed. Trixie couldn't help but smile and laugh as well. After a bit, when things died down, Trixie got a smug look on her face.

"Check mate."
