It's all true

Part 5

Lucifer sighed, sipping a glass of whiskey on his balcony as he looked over the city. Maze words on his mind and he glanced inside.

The Detective hadn't called him yet, he was starting to worry she wouldn't at all.

His thoughts didn't wander for much longer as his phone beeped and he quickly picked up. "Detective!" He said before coughing slightly, not wanting to sound too excited.

"Uh um, Hi." His tone was low and uncertain.

"Hey, I would've called earlier but after picking up Trixie I had to run by the precinct and clear things up with.. the Pierce situation."

"You should've called me, I could've helped." He stated, shifting on the place where he stood.

"I know, don't worry.. just, can you come over?" Chloe added, glancing down at a sleeping Trixie before rising from her bed and walked out to the living room.

Lucifer grabbed his suit as soon as the words left her mouth. "I'll be there in ten." He said and she smiled slightly.

"Good then." She poured herself a cup of coffee, even if she tried to sleep she wouldn't be able to, she had too much on her mind.

"I'll uh, see you in a bit then." Lucifer walked into the elevator, glancing himself over in the mirror.

Chloe nodded, leaning against the counter. "That you will." She waited for him to hang up but he never did.

"Bye then Detective." He lingered, looking down at his feet.

"Bye Lucifer." Chloe chuckled before hanging up, putting her phone down on the counter with a smile.

Ten minutes later, on the dot, she might add, Lucifer came in through the door and Chloe turned around surprised. Her expression softened when she realized it was him and she raised her head. "You could've knocked."

"I didn't want to wake up that little imp of yours." He closed the door and smiled at her.

"Thank you." Chloe smiled and watched as he walked over to her. "So.."

"So." He looked down at her as he tried to read her eyes, wondering why she had asked him to come over.

Chloe nodded for him to follow him and she seated on the couch, sipping her coffee. "We should talk."

"Of course." He glanced at her as he seated. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions you want answered."

"I do." She nodded again and looked up at him. "Why are you here?"

Lucifer frowned slightly, straightening up surprised. "Well-"

"Let me rephrase that, why did you leave Hell? And why come to LA?" She corrected herself, not wanting to make him insecure about all of this.

"Hell isn't what you humans make it up to be, but it's not Heaven like either. I was simply bored and tired of living after what my father made me into so I decided to take a vacation."

Chloe listened to him, waiting for him to continue.

"I thought I came to LA to enjoy life, start over. But it seems I came here looking for something." He glanced at Chloe, his eyes full of admiration. "But enough about that, I don't think anyone would take upon the task to lead Hell if they had the choice." He looked away.

Chloe nodded before taking his hand, bringing his attention back to her. "How much from the bible and stories are true?"

"Well.. a lot, but a lot of it is also not true, like the goat thing. Or the horns." He grumbled and leaned back, fixing his suit a little.
