Let's disappoint each other

The following day I was practically forced into a fake manly costume by the devil's men. Don't worry, I was wearing my black tights & a beige compression shirt before getting stuffed into the costume. Okay so, I am not fat and have never been. Having a fast metabolism helps me keep my figure fit but after wearing this heavy thing that was genuinely weighing down on me. When his men were done they left, and the devil finally appeared in his fresh suit. "So you get to wear that? while I am being pushed inside a man's body involuntarily?" 

"Well, are you Rosa?", he joked. He was enjoying this too much. "Don't get ahead of yourself Lucifer, I am only standing in front of you wearing this only because I want to not expose myself to such bizarre rumors like being your girl or something even close to that, know that you cannot enforce anything upon me.", I told him poking my finger on his hard chest. "Oh I love your soft words, Rosa, you sound just like your pretty name", he mocked in pure sarcasm. 

His men were still standing outside waiting for us to join in. "I will walk in on your men all naked if I aim to defy wearing such odd things". His posture shifted defiantly & he bridged two steps between us, sweeping me in the spicy scents of his perfume. "You're not doing it", he warned but I did not take it seriously as I should. "I may, sir", it was cool yet dangerous playing around with his power & unharmed male ego. He ran his hands through his hair & I wished it was me instead of him. Oh dear lord. What am I thinking? Such bluff empty words? Never mind, I haven't had my breakfast yet, I guess I'm facing signs of an empty stomach. I was done debating with him, he's just ugh..

So, to end the verbal fight in my favor, I simply turned away from him towards the closet to snatch out the final prop to my hilarious look not before mouthing a 'Fuck you Lucifer'. To which he seemed....amused? He was freaking smirking, might I tell you to avoid Dante if you ever see him. He's just a crazy fucker. I never noticed him walk but as I was turned away from him I might have missed it, he stood close behind me. My heartbeat was frantic unsure of his actions but I had to avoid him at all costs while still being under his rule. I turned around, first I was caught off-guard with his chest right in front of me, but he should feel me too. He must become flustered just like me, so I locked my fingers onto his tie & jerked it bravely towards me frantically. My facial features were not hypocritical & so reflected my indifference to my actions unlike my heart which only sped up a little more. With that, I stealthily walked outside as if nothing had happened & it was Dante getting us late, not me. 

Brace yourself Mr. Lucifer because no way in hell am I going to back down. You're up for a whole new rollercoaster of a ride. These men who had accompanied me on the little adventure were in on the fact that I was going to dress up as a secondary bodyguard. They didn't know why we were doing it, but not that they would ask Dante anyway. I was wrong, he trusts his people, they discuss things, they are as of now discussing why I was dressed like a maniac when I could've just maintained being myself. The audacity though, Dante tells his driver that I am dressing the way I am just because his men, his loyal men shouldn't see me. Is he a runaway mental patient? seems so to me at least. Who does he think he is? he's probably doing that to get back on me for playing that little stunt back at the mansion. Serves me right? No, serves him right for trying to fail my heart by making it beat that fast. 

I tried to focus on other things positively, how we're like at the end of the day making efforts to take revenge. I haven't forgotten anything. I just try not to think of it as often as it might take me to turn into a madwoman. Perhaps what awaits ahead of me, might be better than I can think. Let's pray to the Gods I don't play myself into this manipulative game & end up losing. I'm fighting at the cost of my life, what more can I possibly offer to the world for taking away my parents at such a young age?

Oh how did I end the chapter in such a sappy manner, but like we gotta deal with it because my brain can't process much these days given how the CAIE exams are affecting me. TT
