An Angel's Love (Lucifer X O.C)

Chapter XII - I'm Sorry

(Your P.O.V)

Two more days went by and I knew that I would have to talk to Charlie, it's been nearly a week since we spoke and I couldn't let this continue. "Luci, do you think you can call Charlie here?" I asked him and he looked hesitant on that request. "I don't know, she hasn't been here since we fought nine years ago." Lucifer said and I sighed, nodding in agreement, I don't think she will come back to the Manor easily after those two fought the way they did. They nearly went to blows if I hadn't intervened that day. "It was worth the shot." I commented and he chuckled, he went back to work and I left him be. 

I knew there would be one place where Charlie and I could talk and she would be comfortable talking. I wrote the text and sent it to her, I'm hoping that she would come, even with Vaggie coming along. 

(Charlie P.O.V)

I was working on some paperwork with Vaggie when I got a text. 

'Hi Charlie, I know you and I need to talk about what happened. Please meet me at our favorite cafe I took you when you were a teen at 12:30. I want to talk Starshine, please. You can bring Vaggie if you aren't comfortable going by yourself.' 

Dali and I haven't spoken since we blew up at each other that night, and I missed her. "Who was that hon?" Vaggie asked and I groaned. "It was Dali, she wants to talk. Can you come with me?" I asked my girlfriend who smiled and nodded. "Of course, besides I need to get away from the hotel for a couple of hours. Besides, you've been a wreck since the fight, this needs to be addressed." Vaggie said and I nodded, ever grateful for her. "Thank you." I said and she smiled. We got done with what we needed, I quickly changed into something less business formal. I grabbed one of the few dresses I owned, quickly changed, and then headed downstairs. 

"Whoa Toots, youse two going on a date?" Angel asked and I hesitated in answering, I knew he and Dali were close, especially since she stood up for him during Pentious's first day here. "We're going to see Dali, hopefully, things will turn out well." I told him and his eyes softened but nodded. "Have fun." He said and went back to this alcoholic drink. "Also, Alastor is in charge!" I called out and I could hear Angel freak out before the door closed behind us. "Let's go, we have to be there." Vaggie said and I nodded, together we walked to the cafe. 

We arrived at the cafe, it looked the same as I remembered it. I found Dali sitting in the corner of the cafe, looking at her phone. "It's okay, I'll be right there for you both." Vaggie reassured me and I smiled and kissed her knuckles. "Thank you babe." I said and we both walked over to Dali and cleared my throat. "Hey, Dal-" I said but was cut off by her hugging me tightly, I let out a grunt and she let go. I looked at her and I could see the exhaustion in her eyes, she took pride in her appearance, how she always looked rested, and here she wasn't that in the slightest. "Oh, I'm sorry, please sit down." Dali said and we both took our seats, a waitress came around and I ordered a Frappuccino while Vaggie ordered decaf. 

"Charlie, do you want to start?" Dali asked me and I nodded, Vaggie held my right hand and I smiled in response. I stared at the Fallen Angel in front of me, knowing that this needed to be resolved. "I'm sorry Dali, I never meant to blow up on you." I started and she smiled weakly. "At that moment, I thought you were being unsupportive, that you didn't want me to succeed in my goals." I explained and she let out a shaky breath. "I know you saw it that way, and I'm so, so sorry that you thought that. But what I could see was what led me to become a Fallen in the first place, the complete favoritism you had in Pentious in that moment reminded me too much of what happened." Dali said and I felt the guilt come crawling into my mind, I never thought about it like that, but she also never talked about what happened that day, at least not to me. "Then when you argued with me, I thought I was staring right at Lilith." She revealed and my breath hitched, all three of us have had a hard relationship with my Mom so I understood that. 

I began crying at the realization of what I heard, Vaggie held me and then our drinks came. "I'm sorry Mama." I whispered and Dali began crying, I calmly stood from my seat and the two of us hugged. "You haven't called me that since you were 82 years old." Dali, no, Mama cried and I chuckled, the tears still falling. "You were more of a mother than Mom ever was." I told her and she smiled. I saw Vaggie was crying out of her one eye and she held my hand as I held onto my Mama. 

(Your P.O.V)

Charlie, Vaggie, and I talked and caught up on what had happened in the last week. Angel had been caught smoking some drugs inside the hotel, he did look stressed after another night at the studio. Unfortunately, that Moth fucker still has his soul. "I'll talk to him when I come back." I told Charlie and she looked at me, her small red pupils nearly taking the shapes of hearts. "When are you coming back?" She asked me and I sighed. "I can finish whatever task I have left tonight, I should be back tomorrow at the earliest." I told her and she looked sad but understood, I did have other responsibilities to take care of. "I can work with that." Charlie said and I chuckled at her bright smile. 

We talked for another hour or so before we went out separate ways, not once did Charlie call me Dali, but rather she called me Mama. I headed back to the Manor for dinner and to spend the last few hours with Lucifer, making sure that this duck loving being is well taken cared of.
