Love is the Devil *on hold*

Chapter 4

I wake up feeling less tired than I usually do. I had the dream again once I fell asleep, this time without Lucifer invading the dream. But his showing up had helped me through the dream the first time. Deep down I know I wished for him to show up again, just so I don't ever have to go through it alone. I get up already exhausted, all the energy I had felt waking up is gone. I quickly get ready and leave for school. I check my phone and am pleasantly surprised to find I am not late again today. I take my hair out of my hurriedly done tight ponytail. I push off on my bike pedaling as quickly as I could to the school.

I come into class lucky to be on time enough to not disturb a lesson. I sit next to Julia and almost immediately regret it.  She begins squealing in my ear.

"Yes?" I say turning to her.

" So... you and Lucifer huh?????"

"There is no Lucifer and me!" I whisper-yell at her. And then she blushes!! Like wtf?

"I'd beg to differ." A husky voice says from behind me. I shiver instantly recognizing the voice. Julia's blushing instantly makes sense to me as I turn around. His white shirt stretched tightly against his nicely defined chest was enough to make me turn back around before he could see me blush. "Like what you see?" He whispers to me as he sits down. I glare at him earning a chuckle. I turn away vowing to completely ignore him. "You were in my dreams last night baby." He says and I freeze. Was he mocking me? How did he know?

I whip around to him. I brace myself for what I am about to say..."Fuck you." I say feeling like I had to choke the words out. I suddenly feel dirty for saying it. Before he can notice my discomfort I push away from the desk and leave the room. I make my way to the bathroom needing to get away. I start feeling light headed and brace myself against the wall. Julia comes running after me.

"Why would you do that? He likes you, and you're trying to ruin that? Why do you hate yourself so much?" She asks as she comes closer. "Oh my god! Are you ok?" I only manage to shake my head before I fall to the floor. My chest, oh my god my chest. I  struggle to breathe feeling like my lungs and heart were being crushed. Julia swears under her breath and starts to pick me up as I see Lucifer coming out of the classroom. I watch his face as he registers what is going on. He runs over taking me from Julia, quickly picking me up in the bridal style.

"What's wrong with her?" He demands from Julia. I dimly see her shake her head stuttering. "What is wrong with her?!" He screams and I hear I slight break in his voice.

"She..she...I think she can't breathe.." Julia stutters out. And with that, the world blurs. I hear Julia call after Lucifer, and his labored breath as he runs through the halls. I hear his feet hitting the floor and the opening of the nurses' office door.

"She can't breathe," Lucifer says all the earlier hysteria gone from his voice.  The nurses' office erupts into chaos as the get a bed ready for me and as the gets emergency contacts out. The feeling of Lucifers arms disappear from underneath me and the feeling of the plastic nurses' bed replaces him.

I struggle to sit up but am pushed back by Lucifer. I try to glare at him, but the pain in my chest returns. I gasp and Lucifer runs to get me water. When he comes back I try waving him away but he forces me to drink. The pain slowly fades, and I take the opportunity to talk.

"I'm sorry for saying what I said" I choke out, and with that, it's gone. I sit up bewildered. Lucifer tries to push me back down but I swat him away. "I'm fine?"

"You're fine?" He repeats skeptically. "You were just.... how?" I only shake my head in response. He leaves to talk to the nurse then comes back.

"Are we free to go?" I ask.

"Yup, although some of the nurses are disappointed that they don't get to have any more excitement" I smile faintly at him as we leave. He stops me once we are in the hallway. He pushes me to the wall. "I'm sorry." He whispers.

"Oh, the great Lucifer is apologizing? I know your history, and I won't fall prey to your goddamn traps." I hiss at him. He turns his golden brown eyes down to meet mine, making my instantly blush. I avert my gaze to his shoulder.

"Please," His says his voice breaking again, "Please just look at me," he begs. I comply and when our eyes meet he smiles happily. "I didn't mean to make you upset. You really were in my dream last night though. It was a nice break from... from the nightmare." His gaze becomes very far away.

"You have a connection to someone, an emotional one. Then she jumps from a cliff? You both are being chased." I say practically whispering. His gaze snaps back to me.

"How did you know that?" He growls out. I flinch at his voice.

"Because I have the same dream! Except... I am that girl." I say dropping my voice again. Lucifer looks at me, fascinated. He leans into me, slowly wrapping his arms around me. He gets close enough to me that I feel his breath against my face. I quickly close the distance and he lifts me off the ground allowing him to stand at his full height. I wrap my legs around his waist, faintly noticing how perfect we fit together as if our bodies had been made for each other.
