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

ch. XXI -- World full of sinning people

Meanwhile somewhere else

"The job is done, is it not?" Jophiel was sitting on a beach and enjoying the warm sun while speaking to somebody on the phone.

"Your payment will be executed shortly. I don't care; you'll just have to except it." Angel was glaring at the waves crashing against the shore.

"Your talk about the 'love has no price' doesn't affect me." Jophiel tried to get to her point.

"Money will be in your bank account in ten minutes, I don't care if you spend it or not." She answered in bored tone.

"Oh, did He now? Yes, I have heard that Los Angeles is a wonderful place." She couldn't stop the chuckle escaping her.

"Okay, fine. Be calm, your still are in one piece after His visit. Now, I need to make few other phone calls. By-Bye." Jophiel ended the call with annoyed huff. Letting her sunglasses slide lower on her nose, she searched for something on her phone to make one more phone call.

"Yes, hi, darling!" Jophiel smiled sickeningly sweet.

"How was your trip?" she asked and waited for an answer from other end of the line.

"Are we okay with the payment?"

"No, you two--" she was cut off.

"HEY, LISTEN HERE, YOU SPAWN OF HELL!" Jophiel took phone away from her ear and yelled in it.

"We agreed on same price, so shut it. Or go home empty handed." She pursed her lips.

"Okay, good. Bye." And also this call ended.

"Who were you talking to?" Mathew asked sitting down next to her yet minding to not sit too close.

"None of your business. All you need to know is that my plan is back on." Angel answered and putted her phone down.

"And what kind of part I play in it?" Mathew asked looking at her.

"You?" Jophiel asked while pushing her sunglasses back up.

"Yeah."

"You don't have any role in my movie." She shrugged.

"Why not?" Mathew furrowed his eyebrows.

"Oh, for Dad's sake!" Jophiel pouted at him.

"You can be some kind of an extra. Sticks around, do nothing and yet get payed." Jophiel wiggled in her lounge chair to get more comfortable.

"And what kind of payment would it be?" Mathew asked.

"As it seems that you have enough money, I think that I will let you have your prized girl." Jophiel said to him looking over the rim of her glasses.

"Kate?" Mathew seemed taken back.

"Yeah, sure, why not. Just don't tell me that you want somebody else, because I have no time for that." Jophiel warned.

"No, I'll accept, thank you. But how are you going to achieve it, if I may ask." Mathew said looking aside for a second.

"I have already done it." Jophiel answered proudly flashing a smile at Mathew.

"When can I have her?" Mathew seemed excited to hold Kate in his arms once again.

"It needs some time to kick in... What do you think about Miami?" Jophiel trailed off.

"Must be nice weather. You don't like it here?" Mathew asked.

"Tampa isn't bad, Mathew, but I want to taste the fresh sun beams of Miami morn." Jophiel said with small smile playing on her lips.

"Oh, okay. Are we moving again?" Mathew wanted to know.

"With me, mortal, you'll always be moving." Jophiel sent him friendly smile.

"Can you stop calling me mortal?" Mathew silently whined.

"But you are a mortal, are you not, my dear Mathew?" Jophiel turned back to enjoy the sun on her skin. With huff of disapproval Mathew turned to look at never stopping waves.

People were on the beach and there were a lot of eyes that turned in Mathew's and Jophiel's direction. It was nice change from Heaven, Jophiel thought to herself. Here on Earth people adored her and were almost ready to do anything to get in her company. Not like in Heaven, where you just do Dad's bidding.

'This must be how Lucifer feels..' Jophiel thought with a huff. But she was different. Heaven was her home and it will stay as such and with every passing of a sun, she'll be the soldier she was meant to be. And no Earth will change that, no mortal will affect it. But Lucifer was making it difficult for her now. She would be nicely enjoying her time in Heaven, but no, her dear brother needed to take vacation for indefinite time or something. Hell was out of order and in chaos right now. And same was Heaven. Somehow she had ended up to be one of the divines to make things right again. Her brother Amenadiel was on the same mission. Hmm, how was he doing? She thought for a second.

Earth was boring. She just wished that she could be gone from this place with disgusting and sinning humans.

Then with an excited expression on her face Jophiel turned her head towards Mathew.

He looked at her with raised eyebrow.

And with the most wicked grin that angel of wisdom and judgment could master, she said:

"Do you want to meet the Devil?"
