Forever

Deux

Ricky's POV~
-
"Vinny, show Chris to his room, please." I say, grabbing the bottle of wine on my desk and pouring myself a glass. "Yes, Your Highness." He said, leading Chris away. I sat down at my desk and sighed. Just then, my little rotary phone rang. I reached over and I picked it up and answered, "What?" I asked. 'Well that's no way you greet your brother, Lucifer.' I sighed, and sarcastically said, "Oh my Lucifer! Beelzebub is that you?! It's been so long!" He just laughed and said, 'Come on now, don't be a drag. I'm going to come to your mansion today. Let's hang out.' "I'm busy. I have a human to attend to." I replied back.

'Ok, and? I can still come see my brother. I'm bringing Asie, too.' He says. I sighed again, placing the wine glass to my lips, the gold rim just barely touching when Vinny knocked on the door. "Fine. Just don't cause a mess. I only have one human cleaning up, and she's a doll." I say hanging up. "Come in." I say, finally sipping the wine. "May I?" Vinny asked. I nodded. "Are you out of your fucking mind? What if God finds out?" I just roll my eyes like a teenager getting scolded by their parents. "What's he gonna do, cast me out again? Vinny, he made a deal with me. Therefore his soul is mine and I can do whatever I want with him. It's in the book." He rolled his eyes back. Vinny matches energy and I love it. That's why I keep him around.

"Fine, whatever." He said. I just smiled and said, "Beelzebub and Asmodeus have decided they will be joining us today. So please tell the chef there will be three others accompanying us at dinner. Including Chris." He nodded and walked out. I have one chef, one maid, and one butler. We all eat dinner together. I may be the devil, Lucifer, but I'm not totally heartless. I like the company too. All of my servants are mouthy and I love it. They keep me entertained and they know I won't do anything about it. I love it when people can match my energy. Just then, there was a soft knock on the door. It made Cerberus lift his heads, tail wagging and wondering who it was. "Come in." I say, standing up to pet my beautiful dog. In walks Chris.

He notices Cerberus laying on my rug in front of the fireplace. "Was he there the entire time?" Chris asked. I chuckled and said, "No, he came in when Vinny dropped in. By the way, I have two of my brothers coming over. You might have heard of them, Beelzebub and Asmodeus." "Wait, so which one are you?" He asked, confused, and not wanting to get too close to the dog. "If I would have known, I would have been able to address you properly, so I'm sorry." He continued. "It's ok," I say, "you can still call me Ricky, if you want. But I'm Lucifer. That explains this." I took off my shirt and turned around, showing him the two huge scars I have on my back. The scars where my wings used to be. The scars were jagged and raised and awful looking.

I turned back around and put my shirt back on, buttoning it back up. I roll up my sleeves and grab my glass of wine. "So, you can't fly?" He asked. "No. I haven't been able to fly since I fell from Heaven. That's alright, though." Then we hear some shouting and screaming. Then it got closer. The door swung open and a tall, curvy, blond stood in the doorway. Her black eyes were dawned with black and purple makeup. Her hair is let down and reaches to her ankles. She wore a tight black dress that showed off her curves and black heels to accent her long legs. "Hello, Lilith." I say. I turn to Chris and say, "Why don't you have a seat." I turn back to Lilith. "Lucifer. I can not believe you. You know for someone who is really smart, you sure are a fucking idiot." She says, angrily. "What did I do this time?" I asked her, sipping my wine. I look at Vinny and he looks irritated.

"You went to Earth and you almost killed somebody." She said, throwing her hands up. "Uh, yeah, that was the point. I have a deal." I said back. "Oh. You just haven't had a deal in so long, I just thought you were being reckless again." She said, grabbing her waist. "I haven't been reckless in a good millennia. Now, Vinny, please let our chef know that one more will be coming to dinner with us." I say. She walks over to Cerberus and he jumps up and starts licking her face. "So, what do I call her?" Chris whispered to me. You can call her Maria or Lilith. But make sure you put Miss or Lady in front of it. She's a bit old fashioned." I whispered back. Then I said, "B and Asie will be joining us for dinner, as well." She groaned. "Ryan and TJ are fucking idiots. They always act like they're children." She said, standing up.
