After the storm

Chapter 52

Two hours later, when the clock struck eight, both Chloe and Lucifer were ready for their bachelorette and bachelor parties. The baby-sitter came half an hour before, it was the same woman who often took care of Trixie in the past so Chloe was a bit calmer when leaving Liam and Hannah Grace for a couple of hours with her.

Soon the doorbell rang and it turned out that the first one to show up was Amenadiel.

"Brother, you've never been so punctual before. What happened to you?" Lucifer asked.

"Nothing, I just wanted your bachelor party to start on time." He replied but his brother noticed that this wasn't the whole truth.

If he hadn't told it, he must have had a good reason for that. Fortunately, Chloe wasn't in the room when Amenadiel came. She was in the nursery, saying goodnight to the twins and leaving the baby-sitter the last remarks. Lucifer waited until she came downstairs.

"I won't be long. I promise." He said, kissing her lovingly on the lips.

"Don't worry and have fun." Chloe told him, said goodbye to Amenadiel and both brothers went out.

As soon as they left the house, Lucifer stopped dead in his tracks and grabbed Amenadiel's arm.

"What's wrong?" He asked. " I know there's something going on."

Amenadiel sighed. "I didn't want to worry Chloe unnecessarily."

"With what?"

"With the fact that it was Maze who organized your bachelor party and you know what Maze is capable of doing." He replied, giving his brother a meaningful look.

Lucifer swallowed hard. He knew the demon very well and realized what kind of 'attractions' she could have prepared and how dangerous they may be to his relationship.

"Well, thank you for trying to help me, brother but you have to know that it's not only my bachelor party that Maze is taking care of – she's also organizing Chloe's bachelorette party." Lucifer said.

"Oh," Amenadiel said surprised, "then you should be even more worried. You never know what comes to her mind."

"Chloe told me once that when Maze organized her bachelorette party last time, she tried to make it super nice and surprisingly without any alcohol. So you're absolutely right." Lucifer stated, recalling his talk to Chloe.

"Wow, our Maze did something like that? Unbelievable." Amenadiel shook his head.

"Yeah but she had a reason behind it – at that time she didn't want Chloe to have any second thoughts about marrying Pierce. Maze had some secret agenda with him then." Lucifer clarified.

"That explains everything." Amenadiel whispered. "Okay, come on. Let's get going, we don't want to be late for your bachelor party, do we? We'll see what is in there for you."

They started walking to Lucifer's car.

"Wait, don't tell me, brother, that you don't know what she had prepared there."

Amenadiel shook his head. "Nope." He said and got into the car.

"Oh, crap." Lucifer murmured and hopped inside too. "At least, can you tell me if you know where we are going?"

"Of course, we're going to Lux." Amenadiel replied.

Lucifer turned on the ignition and sped towards the club.

Ten minutes after they had left, Chloe heard an impatient knock at the door and went to open it.

"Hi, Decker. Ready for the ride?" Maze asked standing there with an evil grin on her face.
