Nephilim and the Nun

•Chapter Seventeen•

Adina
It was late in the evening and activities in the club were in full swing, with me serving the customers at the bar. The loud music from the dance floor boomed around me and I bobbed my head to the beat, while swaying my hips with a wide grin on my face as I mixed two glasses of booze for the two young women sitting in the barstools opposite me.

"You seem to be having a lot of fun while working," one of them mentioned, causing my grin to widen and I sent her a wink.

"If I don't enjoy it, how will I serve you well?" I responded, pushing the finished product of their drinks to them. I watched them take a sip and their eyes lit up with excitement.

"Mm... If I get too drunk, it'll be on you," the other commented, making me laugh.

"It'll be my pleasure," I winked at her before diverting my attention to another customer that had just slumped into another barstool, his eyes roaming around the club with his back to me. "Sir?" I called, and he immediately turned around, his eyes crinkling in a smile. "May I get you something?"

"Oh, not yet," he waved his hand, his eyes returning to the dancefloor once more.

Shrugging, I went on mixing drinks for some other customers, while slightly moving my body to the rhythm of the music blasting in my ears. In this moment, it was as if I'd put all of the chaos in my life in a dark corner and all I wanted to do was go with the flow and enjoy the moment while it lasts. I was still lost in my own world when I saw Chloe, one of the club's servers slide into the bar, standing next to me. She nudged my shoulder with hers, stealing my attention from the drink I'd been mixing.

"Another order?" I asked, glancing at her but she smiled, wiggling her brows at me.

"Looks like you've caught someone's attention," she winked but I stared at her in confusion, a frown etched on my face. But she rolled her eyes when I remained quiet. "Come on, girl. He's been staring at you for the past ten minutes,"

My frown deepened on hearing that.
"Who?" I glanced around the club but returned my attention to her when I met no one's eyes.

"That way," she cocked her head towards the top floor.

Curious to know who she was talking about, I glanced towards the top floor to see our new boss standing there, his eyes on the dance floor. I rolled my eyes, returning my attention to the drinks I'd been mixing as I continued with them.

"He's not even looking at me, Chloe. And please, I need to focus in case he's really watching. Can't have him thinking I'm not qualified for the job," I tried scolding her but my heart that had been calm was now racing at thoughts of Lucifer really watching me.

The few minutes I'd spent with him in his office had messed with my head. Somehow, he made me feel so small in his presence and when he fixed those icy blues on me, it always had my heart racing and my skin tingling. It also doesn't help that anytime I see him, memories of that night at The Rave always cloud my thoughts. Now that he's my boss, I couldn't be having such thoughts about him if I wanted to keep my job.

"Yeah, right," Chloe muttered like she wasn't going to buy my act of disinterest. "I'm sure he has it hot for you, Dina and that's a golden opportunity. I mean Lucifer is as rich as fuck and he's as fine as sin. If he glances my way, I'll fall at his knees," she purred in the last part, making my skin crawl at thoughts of her with Lucifer in an intimate manner. Not that I cared that much, but it simply felt weird to hear her talk about him in such a manner. "Look, he's got his eyes on you again,"

Sighing, I glanced at him and surely, his eyes met mine. As if I'd been shocked, I quickly looked away, knowing I'd been caught in the act.

"See..." Chloe nudged my shoulder again but I rolled my eyes while doing my best to calm my racing heart. A cold shiver ran down my spine knowing he was still there and might still be watching me.
