ONLY ANGEL (Lucifer Morningstar x OC)

24. She's the Only One

  "This is a good movie." Lucifer hums as he moves his hand so slowly up her thigh.

"Yeah," Ellie says quietly as he scoots closer to her, his hands on her hip.

She turns to face him ever so slightly as he leans down to place a kiss on her thigh. It's dark in her apartment with only the light of the TV on them.

"I don't know how soundproof these walls are, Lu." She smiles as he leans in closer to her.

"Be quiet then." He smirks before pushing her shorts up and slipping his hand under the fabric.

He looks into her eyes as he does, pushing her blanket to the side before going back to her. He brings his other hand to her leg and she feels this coldness. She looks down and sees that damn ring again. That ringed hand is dragging so slowly up her leg and suddenly everything feels wrong.

And she suddenly feels very nauseous.

"I've gotta-" She gently pushes him away before standing up, and walking to the bathroom.

She kneels by the toilet, sitting there as she tries to take a deep breath. Her body begins to shake, she shuts her eyes as she tries to distract herself when suddenly she feels her hair being pulled back.

"H-hey, Ellie, is everything okay?" He asks, so softly and so quietly.

"Everything's fine, I'm not gonna- I never do, you don't have to stay here." She tries but he doesn't move.

"I know you won't. But I'm here." He places a hand on her back which almost makes it worse even if he doesn't mean to.

She shuts her eyes again as he gently rubs her back, sitting down beside her. She tries not to think about it but she can't help it. He can say whatever he wants about it, he can say he's over it a million times a day, but his actions will always be that he keeps that ring on. And it feels gross that he's touching her like that with a ring on his finger.

And even now he's being so sweet, speaking so softly and rubbing her back as if his ring finger is bare but it's not. He gently runs his fingers through her hair, looking at her so sweetly.

They sit there for who knows how long. He's still so gently with her and her shaking eventually stops. The longer they sit there, the better she feels. But he's slightly worried. Was this his fault? He tries not to think that but he looks at her and feels weird. He doesn't want her feeling like that, especially when she has made him feel so much this month. She's made him feel like his heart has woken up again after having been asleep for so long.

"Did I do something wrong, El?" He asks so softly.

"No, I don't know why this happened this time." She lies.

"Tomorrow's your last day of work before we can go to the human realm." He tries to make her happier. She gives this small smile before she looks at him.

"Exciting," She nods before taking another deep breath. "I'm good now, I think. But, um, I need to go talk to Angel really quick. I'll be back."

She stands up and practically speed walks to leave her apartment. He's still sitting there, looking around dumbfounded for a moment before going to stand up.

"Angel Dust, open this door now, please!" Ellie bangs on the door just as he does to hers.

"Oh my fuck, what do you want?" Angel swings the door open.

"Let me in."

"Oh, anything you want, princess." He says sarcastically, opening the door for her.
