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

ch. XII -- I am dead

Kate couldn't say the she was bored. Because Julie and Lucifer always were her company. Except the Devil was more and more absent. And slowly Julie took His place as her advisor of sorts.

Of course Julie's knowledge wasn't the same as Lucifer's but it was kind of enough to make sure that Kate was okay.

The positive things that presence of Julie as Kate's new advisor included:

-Getting drunk for no good reason, because, as it seemed, Julie really liked to be intoxicated with alcohol just to chill out for a time being.

-Going to clubs that were way out of Kate's league.

-Make shopping errands at 3 am without any logical reason.

-Staying up until the morning just to realize that they won't go to bed next night too.

-Also it meant that Julie had full access to Lucifer's bar.

Not to mention that all of the above didn't quite sit well with Devil Himself, and let's not talk about the fact that He wasn't happy about the fact that His bar was almost half empty every single time He appeared in that beach house.

"So when is he refilling the bar?" Julie asked as she was crushing on living room's sofa. Kate didn't hear her, too focused on an art book that was in her hands.

"Hmm?" Kate just hummed as she realized that Julie had said something.

"Don't you 'hmm' me Kate." Julie chided reading the etiquette of bottle in her hand.

"It's almost empty." Julie looked at Kate.

"What is empty?" Kate didn't hear.

"I said that the bar is empty. We can't have party if it's empty." Julie groaned. Kate looked at her, and then let her eyes slide to the bar that she could see through arc that led to kitchen.

"It's not empty, Jules." Kate mumbled still seeing dozen of bottles in shelves.

"Yeah, half empty then I would say." Julie said dramatically rolling her eyes.

"Wait, what party are you even talking about?" Kate asked looking back at her friend.

"I don't know. Well not yet. I just thought that we should break in the new house. You have been here living for almost a month or so." Julie shrugged.

"I don't think it's a good idea." Kate warned.

"Why don't you want to party?" Julie whined.

"Because we have partied enough in last week, Jules." Kate rolled her eyes and turned page in her book.

"Yeah, but not in this house, yo!" Julie didn't hold back her brewing excitement.

"You realize that this is not my house." Kate reminded her.

"I know, but come on; He's never around here anymore. Not that I have seen Him lately." Julie said swooshing around the amber liquid in the bottle.

Kate didn't exactly want to tell her that Lucifer was kind of ever present, even if Kate herself didn't know about His whereabouts. But He was around; at least He appeared in her mirror almost every day.

"Julie Keyne, I think you are party addict." Maybe passive alcoholic, but Kate didn't say out loud that last part just let small chuckle escape her.

"I am not a party addict, Kate Andrews, and as your advisor I must inform you that I just simply need a place where to put all this raw energy." Julie said flexing one of her arms.

"Okay, but no party." Kate warned her and turned back to her book. Next second Kate heard knock on the door. Kate looked at the red head.

"About that..." Julie said and got up from sofa guilty look on her face.

"Julie, what did you do?" Kate whined and got up from sofa to walk to the door.

"Jules..." Kate mumbled angrily and slowly opened door.

"Hey, Kate." man smiled at her.

"Hey... you..." Kate smiled awkwardly. She was never good with names.

"Hey Tristan!" Julie popped up besides Kate.

"Hi." Tristan smiled and kissed Julie on a cheek. Kate cocked her eyebrow.

"Right. I didn't tell her." Julie looked at Tristan then at Kate.

"Trash Can over here, is my boyfriend." Julie chuckled.

Trash Can? Oh yes, now Kate remembered where she had seen him.

"Is it bad that I invited him over?" Julie whispered to Kate.

"No, it's alright." Kate said absentmindedly. She didn't want to seem rude by saying 'no, get him away'.

Julie smiled at her and pulled Tristan in house. Kate closed doors and looked at both of them.

"The party is going to be lit AF, Tristan. I have here a bar with drinks, food won't be a problem. We will get dunk-ass music in here too. And won't you look at this patio, here?!" Julie jumped to stand in front of patio's door.

"This place is amazing!" Tristan boomed.

A party. Here. In her safe place.

"Wait. Wait. Party?" Kate asked as if coming out of a trance.

"Yeah! It will be amazing!" Julie smiled.

"Jules. I said no party." Kate said softly.

"Look at this place she has here." Tristan looked at Julie then back at Kate.

"You know that this is my place, right?" Kate looked at Tristan.

"It's her friend's place actually. But he is never around anymore." Julie shrugged.

"I wouldn't say that if I were you." Kate mumbled.

"Don't worry. Party's gonna be amazing." Tristan smiled at Kate.

"No, you can't have a party at my place." Kate said desperately.

"As your advisor I advise you to allow me to have party here." Julie chuckled.

"What? No! You are not my advisor. Lucifer is." Kate said and looked at Julie with furrowed brows.

"Yeah? Well I don't see him here." Julie said looking around.

"I have no idea what's going on." Tristan said to Julie.

"She has friend named after Satan." Julie shrugged and then added:

"Religious family."

Two and half hours later.

Kate was standing confused in middle of living room. People that she didn't know or haven't seen at all mingling around her. Music ringing in her ears and smell of alcohol burning her nose.

"Lucifer is going to kill me." Kate mumbled looking at Julie across the room.
