Not All Girls Cry

Chapter 12

Rue and Nero came back from shopping with some food to make dinner. Nero was giving her side glances and it was making her blush. She stops in her tracks and so did he. "Why do you keep looking at me?" Rue asks.

Nero blushes and scratches his head. "That..."

"That?" Rue asks getting up at his face. Nero tires to cover his blush with his human hand.

"You're hair cut is cute on you, but you're cute no matter what..." He whispers. Rue blushes and goes on her tip toes to place a kiss on his cheek. She moves away with a smile.

"Thanks for the complement."

Nero holds her chin up and leans in close. Rue did the same and their lips contacted, they felt it was just right. They broke apart, Rue then holds his demonic covered hand. "So, are we dating?" She asks.

"I'm fine with it if you are." Nero smiles down at her. They continue walking back to the shop. When Rue opened the door she heard crying.

She turns to Nero. "Did Dante come back with a heartbroken woman?" She asks. He shakes his head.

"I think he's still with Ella at the bar."

Rue quickly sets the food on the counter and tries to find the voice. She hears it near the coach. Walking over Rue hears it from the painting she got from Lucifer. The white haired lady was crying. "How is it possible for a painting to cry?" Rue asks. The lady then grabs her and brings her into the picture.

"RUE!'' Nero yells and holds the picture frame.

Instead of the white haired lady, it was Rue in her place.

"So?" Dante said.

"What?" Ella asked him.

"The kiss." He said.

"What about it?" Ella asked.

"Did. Did you like it?" He asked blushing.

"It wasn't horrible if that's what you mean." She replied with a blush.

"Do you think maybe, we could do it again?" Dante asked.

"Why?" She asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Well, I maybe kinda like you." He said softly.

"And how do I know you aren't going to treat me like you do the other women you bring home?" She asked.

"Because. You aren't like the other woman." He said. "And I mean it." He finished.

"I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try dating you." She said and opened the doors to the shop.

"Shit. Shit. Shit! This is very bad!" Nero screams.

"What the hell is your problem?" Dante asks walking in with Ella.

"Rue got sucked into the painting!" He yells pointing at it.

"You were right." Ella says turing to Nero. "This is very bad."
