Saved By The Devil - BOOK 1 ✔ (Edited)

Chapter 22 (Edited)

Lucifer was driving while I was in the passenger seat. We and the guys including Percy were heading to Red Coral. Percy was still in shock from what he saw and I bet at this moment Justin is trying his best not to kill him. I would've put him with Gabe but we all know Gabe would end up killing him by "mistake". As much as I wanted to kill him for his behavior and disrespect, I couldn't since he was the President's son.

Since we have to find the guys who are after Percy, Lucifer will be staying over until this mission is over. I frowned at the idea of him leaving when all this was over. Even though he's a pain in the ass, I'm going to miss him. I also got Jay to help out but he will be dropping in on us every now and then since he has his own place and line of work to fulfill. I offered him a place but he doesn't even want to be around Percy.

"We're here," I heard Lucifer's voice next to me. I snapped out of my daydreaming and looked around to see we were parked in the parking lot. I looked out the window to see some of the guys outside and some heading into the restaurant. "How long have we been parked?" I asked Lucifer. He laid back in his seat with a smile on his face. "About 2 minutes."

My eyes widened. "That long?" He nodded, "You looked deep in thought and I didn't want to be the one to interrupt you. By the way what made you frown?" he asked. I felt my face heat up a little.

"Just the mission," I mumbled, and no that was not a lie.

"Uh-huh," he said, sounding unconvinced. He looked like he was debating whether to ask me questions or not. "Let's just go eat. I'm starving," he smiled while opening the door.

I was about to open my door but it was opened by Lucifer. He had flashed over. "You can't do that in public," I shrieked. He chuckled and pulled me out of the car and shut the door.

"Don't worry. No one saw," he said, smirking. I shook my head and started walking inside.

I made my way up to the hostess while my guys were behind me. "Hello. Welcome to Red Coral. How many seats?" the elderly lady smiled. She was dressed in a black dress with her hair pulled back. Her voice was soft and her smile was sweet.

I gave her a smile, "Hello, and 25 seats please." She shook her head and looked at the pad in front of her. Her smile dropped a little then looked up at me. "Sorry, but we don't have a whole table. It's occupied at the moment. We only have tables for 5 at the moment."

I gave her an assuring smile. "It's okay. We'll take separate tables. We don't mind," I said, causing her to smile again.

"Well go grab your tables and we will send waiters over in 5 minutes and put these on your table," she said, handing me 8 plastic papers with numbers on them. "Put these on your table so the waiters know you're all together and enjoy," she said before turning to the next group of people.

I took a number and passed the rest to the guys. Lucifer and I grabbed our own booth. James, Ethan, Gabe, and Percy sat behind us in another booth. Justin, Lenin, Stan, Hunter, and Victor took a booth. Blake, Mason, Carter, and Alex grabbed a booth behind Lucifer. Taylor, Randy, Austin, Cody, and Zac grabbed a table across from Blake's booth. Kevin, Weston, Chris, Richie, and Felix grabbed a table near Justin's booth. Everyone was spread out and mingled with their own group. I smiled as I saw some of them laugh.

"You really care about them,'' Lucifer said, bringing me to look at him. "Deeply. They're like family to me. We all have been there for each other. We're all each other's got," I explained. He nodded his head as a sign of understanding.

He then studied me for a minute. "What?" I asked curious. "Oh uh, well I want to talk to you about something," he said looking away.

"Sure. What's up?" I asked nervously. Every time someone wants to talk about something and they look away, I assume it's always bad and really serious.
