Kate really wasn't into all this city exploring thing. Because that meant meeting new people and last time in New York, when this happened, Kate ended up with boyfriend who had some kind of issues. Major issues...
All she wanted to do was sit in this luxurious house that Lucifer so kindly let her stay in and paint away. Right now Kate would likely do this but Julie was visiting and distracting her from her goal.
"Hoolyy, mother of God!" Julie said looking around. Kate just shrugged. She couldn't blame Julie for this reaction because she herself had the same expression on her face upon seeing the house for the first time.
"You live here?!" Julie exclaimed.
"Yeah, not mine, though." Kate said and picked up paint brush.
"So... satanic dude owns this?" Julie wondered walking around the living room.
"Yes. I think so." Kate laughed quietly and looked at the blank canvas in front of her.
"How the hell can you afford this?" Julie mumbled to herself. That was a great question because Kate had no idea either.
"Are his parents super religious or really into satanic shit?" Julie asked sitting on sofa opposite Kate.
"What do you mean?" Kate furrowed her brows.
"You know, why would anybody name their child like Satan?" Julie explained. Kate suddenly seemed baffled, unable to answer simply because she had no idea what to tell her. Where is the Devil when you need one?
"Is it some kind of fake name to deal drugs or something?" Julie whispered to Kate. Kate wanted to answer by yelling 'no', but you know, speak of the Devil.
"It's God's given, I'm afraid." Said the Devil, walking into living room, holding glass of drink in his hand. Kate narrowed eyes at Him. Why was He coming out of one of the guest bedrooms?
"So they are really satanic people." Julie whispered to Kate. Rolling her eyes Kate looked at white canvas again.
"I would say more like super religious, then." Kate mumbled.
"Lucifer, what do you want?" Kate asked not even looking at Him from behind of the canvas.
"Just wondering how your artsy thing is coming together." Lucifer pointed at canvas.
"I see you have your model here." He smirked at Julie. Mentioned girl just stared back at Him, blush creeping on her cheeks.
Kate tried not to look at all that was going on between those two. Clearing her throat Kate spoke up:
"She's not my model, not today. Jules was just visiting." She smiled politely.
"Oh, come on, Kate! Draw me like one of your French girls!" Julie smirked and laid down on sofa.
"Aren't you supposed be naked?" Lucifer raised eyebrow at Julie.
"Do you want me to be naked?" She asked in return. Lucifer wanted to answer but sound of breaking paintbrush interrupted Him. Both- Julie and Lucifer- glanced at Kate.
"Are you okay, Kate?" Julie asked worried about her friend.
"I'm fine." Kate sighted throwing now broken brush on the floor, then dragging her hands across face.
What was into her?!
"Are you sure?" Julie asked and kneeled next to Kate's chair. Kate just nodded and looked at canvas that was still blank. Right now it looked too white and seemed to burn Kate's eyes.
"Yeah... just... artistic block, you know." Kate said harsher than expected. Julie glanced at Lucifer.
"Katherine is sick, Julie." Lucifer gave her apologetic smile.
"What? Why didn't you say so?" Julie looked at Kate.
"It has been rough last month or so." Kate looked down at Julie.
"How can I help?" Julie asked.
"Here, bring her strawberries." Lucifer said fishing out 500 dollar bill from pocket. Kate's head snapped up at Lucifer.
"Strawberries?" Julie asked looking at Kate. Kate didn't answer just nodded her head.
"Okay. I don't know how it helps you, but if it makes you happy, sure." Julie said and picked up the money that was now standing on coffee table.
"Yeah, me either." Kate mumbled quietly.
"Five hundred dollars?! How many strawberries do you need?" Julie eyed Lucifer.
"Surprise me." Kate said before Devil could answer.
"Okay. See you later?" Julie said and went hunting for berries.
"What was that Lucifer?!" Kate shot up from her chair.
"Now she thinks I am dying or something!" She yelled.
"And the fuck was it with the strawberries?! How are they to help me?" Kate continued.
"Aren't you happy that she's gone now?" Lucifer asked ignoring her outburst.
"What? That was not the point, Lucifer!" Kate pointed at Him.
"Oh, so you did not want to see her naked?" Lucifer asked instead of answering any of her questions.
"Of course I don't want to see my friend naked! What is wrong with you?!" Kate said outraged.
"You are no fun when you are jealous." Lucifer merely said and took sip from His glass.
"Jealous?" Kate exclaimed. Lucifer just looked at her pointedly. Subconsciously, yes, maybe, she was jealous. Was it about the fact that Julie seemed so happy, so normal and could freely talk about anything?
"I would know if I was jealous, Lucifer." Kate said and walked to patio.
"No, not really." Lucifer said following her.
"Excuse me?" Kate stopped and turned to Him.
"Oh, come on Kate! I know you. You don't break your paint brushes just out of artistic block." Lucifer explained.
"Just because you know me as a person, does not allow you to know what I am personally!" Kate warned and pointed at Him again.
"I know you better than anybody, Katherine." Lucifer said matter of factly.
And Kate in her raged state, also not thinking clearly, wanted to push Him away. Well that didn't work as planned. She ended up behind Lucifer, on her hands and knees.
"Fucking hell..." Kate huffed, now sitting on the floor behind Him.
"Hell ain't fucking anybody, Katherine." Lucifer said and walked pass her.
