"Yes. She was an exterminator. I used to work with her and the others for a while. She had disappeared 3 years ago. I suppose she got trapped down here as well" I said while Alastor was washing my back.

"Hmmmm" his little boat horn hum went.

I knew that dumb noise. I did a little scoot turn around then straddled his hips.

"You will not use that information to your advantaged" I glared at him "or I'll expose our relationship to all your enemies so i can constantly put myself in danger"

"Is that...blackmail" he seemed appalled I dare ever threaten the radio demon. The water heated up a bit as his smile grew wider. Little symbols appeared around him.

He's so cute when he tries to get all intimidated

"Maybe it is" i booped him on the nose

"Look at you getting all bad" he teased

"I'm serious Alastor. This isn't your tea to spill to anyone. Especially Charlie." I warned him "or you'll have to put up with me. We don't want that"

"You're too cute" Alastor cooed.

"I am trying to be intimidating" I frowned.

"My love. You are naked, straddling me like a horse while spitting out threats that you won't go through with"

I blushed "yeah well so." I'm defeated once more.

Alastor drained the tub. He slithered away into his shadow and appeared standing in front of me.

Per usual, he helped me out of the tub, dried me off, and dressed me. At least he was nice this time in giving me a red longsleeve and black plaid pajama pants.

When we started doing this together, he'd always put me in nightgowns. They were modest and cute but offered no warmth. Alastor is not a warm person so cuddling didn't work either.

When I turned around, he was wearing the same pajamas.

These little acts he does are one of the many reasons why I love him.

I heard a knock again at the door. Alastor gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll leave you two to chat alone darling. Just hurry soon. Charlie likes to awake early and I want to ensure you have your beauty sleep" he shadowed away.

I open the door to see Vaggie. She had bathed and dressed down herself. She let Charlie know she was going to ask about my day as well as make sure Alastor didn't bother me too much.

"Hey" she walked into my room "looks like you settled in well"

I nodded "yeah. Alastor allowed me to decorate my room to my taste. He's a nice fellow"

"Nice is not the word I would use" vaggie rolled her eyes.

"I understand" I laughed. "He is a bit strange"

"Strange is an understatement. Anyway, I wanted to thank you" vaggie sat on my bed

"For what?" I was a bit confused

"For not exposing me for you know"

"Being an Angel"

"Yeah."

"I assumed it's always a difficult situation so I find it better to not talk about it"

"Yeah..." she repeated

"What happened to you vaggie?" I sat next to her, genuinely curious "you were one Adams top girls. I remember having to train the front lines one day. You were even a bit better than the lieutenant"

Vaggie went on to explain that extermination. How she let a little kid go. How they didn't like that. Luckily she doesn't go into detail about how her wings and eye were ripped out. Alastor would have a field day explaining it if he was the one who did it.

"That's awful" I frowned.

"But I ended up with someone who completely understands me. She never judges"

"Then why haven't you told her about your past"

Vaggie twirled her thumbs while looking down "I don't want her opinion of me to change"

I placed my hand on the angels back. Giving her a sincere smile "I highly doubt someone like Charlie would throw you out. If you think about it, you're trying to better yourself. From what I gathered, Charlie is very much a sweet woman with a good heart"

"She really is" vaggie had a soft smile on her face "I'm just not ready yet"

"Don't wait too long vaggie"

"I won't. What about you though? Why are you here"

I let out a sigh "well. I fell in love with a demon"

Vaggie widened her eyes.

"On my wedding day, Adam found out and sent me here. It wasn't too crazy"

Except for the part that it was Alastor. Alastor was in heaven with me for 5 years. I should've been killed. I definitely should have been killed. What Adam did, was an act of mercy because his trauma side understood. At least from the perspective of Lilith and him.

"What about your partner? Are they still around"

"Yes he is. We are still married actually"

"Why doesn't he come here? If he believes in redemption like you then Charlie would have another guest here. It would ma—"

I cut her off "yeah. My husband thought this place is a joke but he is entertained at the idea of it."

"Sounds like Alastor" vaggie laughed "I guess all creepy demons are the same"

I laughed nervously "yeah I suppose so"

He is my husband after all...

"Maybe you could convince him to come in. Even if it's just a joke to him, it's worth a shot"

"I'll talk with him about it"

He is hiding under my bed. He thought I wouldn't notice.

"Well I hope you enjoyed your first day at the hotel." Vaggie stood from my bed and made it to the door "we hope you stay around. Charlie is really trying to make this place work"

She left. A few seconds later, after I knew she was out of earshot, I spoke up.

"Alastor" I frowned.
