I don't mind you by my side ➳| Lucifer Morningstar

ch. IV-- Slipping in routine

Kate was on living room's sofa again. TV on while she was talking on a phone with Julie. Not to mention that she didn't have anything to say to her, because she had no idea what to ask her or what to talk about.

"I am really sorry about earlier." Julie said with chuckle.

"Don't worry. My mom said the same thing. And I needed to explain to her that I don't have a boyfriend." Kate shrugged.

"I just thought since... I don't know... The way you look at each other, I know it sounds cheesy, but it's like... I have no idea how to describe that look." Julie ranted.

"I understand you, but--" Kate started but Julie wasn't done yet.

"It was like you know each other so well and something. I don't know, man... it looked like you two are in love." Kate could swear that Julie in that moment had no idea what she was talking about.

"Jules, he is not my boyfriend. He's just my advisor. And besides he doesn't have time or willingness to be tied to some woman." Kate shrugged and looked at TV where some soap opera was going on.

"Did he say that?" Julie asked.

"No." Kate answered.

"Did you ask him?" Julie continued.

"No. Why would I?" Kate answered truthfully.

"Hmm... Gee, I don't know?! Maybe, to know if he wants relationship or not." Julie exclaimed. Kate stared blankly at the wall. When did Julie become her relationship consultant?

"Wait. What do you mean by advisor?" Julie asked.

"He's my nanny of sorts." Kate said flatly.

"I don't understand." Julie said.

"You know, He just watches over me and judges everything I do." Kate shrugged.

"What? Why?" Julie was still confused.

"That's a thing we do." Kate explained.

"That doesn't seem... That is weird..." Julie mumbled.

"Weird doesn't cover it. Not in the slightest." Because everything that involved doing something with the Devil Himself was weird and out of this world.

"The heck did they feed you two in New York?" Julie asked.

Kate wanted to say that she wasn't properly fed for a month but kept her mouth shut.

It's like rehab. Everybody here is like doctors from that place. They won't let you out if you'll them the truth. So keep your mouth shut. The more you talk about the bigger chance of losing Lucifer and going back to rehab. Just tell them you are fine. Kate reminded herself.

"You know the regular. Can't say the same about Lucifer, though." Kate smiled instead. She actually had no idea where He's from or what He ate.

"What do Brits even eat these days?" Julie laughed.

"Right." Kate said not really knowing what to answer to that.

"We should hang out some time. You seem like a cool girl, Kate." Julie said.

"Well, thank you. That sounds nice." Kate tried to smile.

"So, how long will you be in Miami?" Julie asked.

"I... I don't know...." Kate mumbled. She wasn't staying in Miami all her life. Yes, it sounded luxurious and very pompous, but this is not a place where she will feel like at home. And wasn't it actually Lucifer who was responsible that she is in Miami in the first place? Have to remember to ask Him few questions about it.

"Well then, I think there will be some other meeting with you then." Julie chuckled.

"Of course." Kate answered but felt that Julie meant something different with it.

And on that note call ended. It was nice to have some female company from time to time helping to forget.

Looking around the living room Kate let out calming breath. She should go around city and search for some art supplies. Feeling somewhat rusty in that field Kate got up, threw her phone, wallet and keys in bag and went into city.

Light breeze was ruffling her long, brown hair as she strode along the sidewalk in a search of art supply store. While in search of all the things she needed, her mind wandered around the things that actually happened before the incident and everything in general.

Somehow she had fallen in this routine where she felt numb to certain things. And by certain things meaning everything that happened in last month or so. Yes, of course, she had terrible nightmares that she didn't want to talk about. Crying in the shower was also habit of hers now. Everything made her hide behind smile and act as if nothing happened. She just wanted normal life. While in rehab Kate had learned how to lie about her feelings and how to hide them from people.

She had asked Lucifer not to talk about it, afraid that it could happen again, but then again Devil promised that she won't be captured. Yet she had so many questions. And let's be honest, when Kate didn't have them? Like for example, she really wanted to ask Lucifer who was this Mazikeen. Why was Jophiel around? Even more, why was she on earth? But mostly, about the night before she was kidnapped.

How did He know about her dream? And why was she having them? Never before she had had dreams like that, even when girl was awake she didn't tend to daydream about hot scenes with naked men.

What did He tell her parents? She hoped that He actually didn't say that He is a Devil. Her mom would lose all her sanity. Just like her daughter. Heh...

And then there were questions like, where are Mathew and Jophiel? What happened to all the people that seemed dead at that dreadful place? Why in all place she is in Miami? Where was Mazikeen now and how she knows about Lucifer?

But most of all, she should thank Him...
