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

ch. XXIII -- Better with Vodka

Once again Kate walked into the living room to see Maze and Lucifer talking.

'So, what is it this time?' she thought bitterly.

"How did you sleep?" Lucifer was first to acknowledge girl's presence.

"Fine. By the way mom sends her greetings, Luce." Kate said passing through to kitchen.

"Mum?" Lucifer looked at Maze, confusion written across His features, and demon seemed distressed by this.

"Yeah? My mom? She says 'hi'?" Kate stopped and turned to look at two weirdos in front of her.

"Oh, her mother.." Maze nodded in understanding.

"Isn't that just sweet?" Lucifer offered a small smile.

"Who else?" Kate mumbled and went in kitchen to grab something for breakfast. She was soon accompanied by Maze.

"What'cha making?" demon wanted to know sitting by the counter.

"Cereal?" Kate answered unsurely, slowly looking over the demon.

It was quite bizarre, to know that a freaking real life demon was sitting in front of her.

Kate slowly putted one bowl and cereal box on counter. Maze immediately pulled bowl closer to her and poured some cereal in it. Kate, with slight roll of her eyes, took another bowl and also poured cereal. Once gotten her hands on milk she slid it closer to Maze.

Demon just shook her head and pointed behind Kate, where in highest shelfs, were alcoholics' a.k.a bar. Kate furrowed her brows.

"Vodka." Maze said slowly still pointing at the bar. Kate just nodded submissively and stood on her toes to reach for a bottle of drink.

When the bottle was on the counter, Maze quickly grabbed it and added it to her cereal. Kate just looked at her with big eyes.

"What?" Demon asked raising questioning eyebrow.

"I won't ask where you learned that..." Kate mumbled and taking her own bowl sat at the dining table.

"Makes life here on Earth that much enjoyable." Maze shrugged continuing to eat her vodka cereal.

Kate wanted to question demon as to why she and Lucifer seemed so troubled about 'mom', but thought better of it and instead she asked really simple one:

"When will Lucifer be back?"

"Huh?" Maze turned to her with spoon still in her mouth.

"I mean, you must know when He will be back, right?" Kate said lifting her head up at Maze.

Demon stared at her blankly, and then slowly munching on cereal she seemed to be in deep thought.

"Ain't you the one who can speak with 'im in His head or something?" Maze suddenly said pointing spoon at Kate.

"Yes, yeah..." Kate stuttered for a moment.

"That lately doesn't work that well." Kate said as if she was embarrassed for some reason.

"So I have heard..." Maze whispered.

"Why do you need Him when you got me?" Maze asked and puffed her chest out a bit.

Should Kate straight up say that she was terrified of her?

"You see... I..a..e..." Kate cleared her throat.

"Come on; tell me, I can take it." Maze said sitting up more.

"I'm kind of scared of.. you..." Kate flinched. Maze blinked and her eyebrows slightly rose up.

"I mean, like, you are so cool, bad-ass and awesome. You aren't scared, braver that any person I know... and yet you seem to terrify me..." Kate was quick to explain.

Maze got up from bar stool to walk to the dining table and stand across Kate.

"You think I'm awesome too." Maze pointed at Kate with spoon.

"What? Yeah, of course, what else?" Kate smiled slightly.

Maze tilted her head and took one hard look at Kate, making girl's eyes to slightly widen.

"Why are you scared of me?" Maze slowly asked as if truly wanting to know the answer.

"I-- I don't know. Like, your knifes are way too dangerous for me, and since you said that you'll hunt me down if I escape." Kate mumbled looking down at bowl.

Maze only pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.

"I'm not gonna use the knives on you, trust me. And as for that hunting, Lucifer will sooner send me back to Hell if I was to hurt you." Maze explained after a moment and then slowly made her way to Kate's side. Draping her hand with spoon in it across Kate's shoulders, Maze leaned down to her and said:

"Unless you like it rough."

"What?" Kate didn't understand at first.

"Maybe some bondage?" Maze whispered seductively.

"What?! No!" Kate grabbed demon's hand and took it off of her shoulders.

Maze was still leaning by her side, while answering with raised eyebrow:

"Would have been fun, you know, some bonding together..."

"No, thank you!" Kate said crossing her arms.

"Are you sure?" Maze was still trying to coax Kate into it.

"Yes!!!" Kate exclaimed.

"Your loss." Maze shrugged and looked at Kate's cereal. Then she dipped her spoon in it and took a taste.

"Vodka is better." Maze hummed while throwing her spoon on the table and leaving the kitchen.

With roll of her eyes Kate had to follow, because she got no answer to the question she asked at the start.

"Yes, very awesome demon.." Kate sighed getting up and trailing behind her.
