PA to the Radio Demon

Chapter 12: Hobby Day

I couldn't help the laughter that ripped past my lips as I fell back in the booth we were currently sitting in. Lucifer was telling this adorable story about Charlie when she was younger. "You should see the pictures, she was so mad that she couldn't have the hellhound." He laughs. "Lillith and I had to drag her away from the poor creature."

I slapped my hand over my mouth to suppress my giggles. "I can definitely see her doing that," Lucifer took a long sip from his coffee, completely relaxed. Though he wasn't dressed like he was the last time we saw each other. He had changed his appearance to look like a sinner demon looking rather snake-like.

But unlike Sir Pentious he was a white cream colored snake his red eyes were rather sparkly as he spoke fondly of his family. His clothes were somewhat similar to his suit from last time. "She was the cutest. It wasn't often that we were able to go out as a family due to my work, but on the rare occasions we could, I loved every second."

It was amazing getting to hear Lucifer speak so fondly of Charlie, though I could see the pain in his eyes whenever he spoke of his ex wife Lilith. "I really do appreciate that you won't tell Charlie about my divorce."

Reaching across the table I grasp his hand giving him a soft smile "It's not my story to tell." Lucifer stared at our hands surprised that I had touched him. "Sorry," I pull my hand away and place it back in my lap. "But you should talk to Charlie about this soon though, you said it's been seven years?"

Lucifer nodded, staring at the table. I could see the pain in his features whenever he spoke about Lilith. "I can't say I know what you're going through. I was never married, and I never had the opportunity to have a child." I started trying to show him that I was being supportive. "But it's clear you love your daughter."

The red in his eyes stared up at me, mouth parted. He wanted to say something. Something special but held himself back. "Charlie and Lilith have been my everything since my fall." his fist clenched, turning his knuckles white. It was still painful for him to speak about his fall it seemed. "I'm sorry, you don't want to hear about this."

Placing my hands on the table I wanted to reach out to him but held myself back. "I won't push you but I'd be happy to hear whatever you have to say." He nodded his head and took a deep breath. "I appreciate that, but we should save this for another time when we're more alone." Sinners were looking towards us most likely thinking they could try and steal from us.

"Understandable. But seriously, whenever you want to vent about anything, just let me know and I'll try to be there as soon as I can." This time he was the one to reach for my hand, completely covering one of my hands with the size difference.

Even with the scaly texture of his snake hand it was nice and warm, contrasting how cold Sir Pentious's hands were. "Thank you," I could feel my heart fluttering in my chest at his words. He was so precious staring at me the way he was. He really was beautiful in whatever form he was in though I would prefer him in his natural one. His gaze, the small smile on his face, how at ease he seemed to be around me made me feel so happy.

"Oh!" I was just brought back to my senses remembering I had brought him a gift. "I brought you something, I hope you like it." I flush a bright red slowly pulling my hand away from him, I didn't want to leave his warm grip. "You brought me something?"

Nodding my head I reached in my bag digging around until I found what I was looking for. "You didn't need to do that, you already bought our drinks." Grinning to myself I pulled out the red scarf. "Well you still tried to buy it even when I said I had it covered." I shot back and placed the folded up scarf on the table.

"I hope you like it, Charlie had to help me on some of the stitching and even showed me how to make the designs." I smiled widely watching him open the scarf to the full extent. It had little flowers sewed in. "Thank you," it seemed my smile grew watching him put it on and wrap it around his neck a light rosy color growing up his face. "It's perfect, thank you."
