"No, I promise. This is gonna be fun." Said Lilith on the other line, as she and Kassandra talked on the phone.
"But what if you set me up with some creep?" Kassandra asked, making Lilith laugh.
"What kind of best friend am I to set you up with a creep?" said Lilith, laughing. It made Kassandra chuckle, running her hands through her hair as she bit on her tart.
"I don't know. Your name Lilith makes me think of mischief for some reason. Especially since you have Az as your boyfriend," said Kassandra. Lilith's melodious laugh echoed from the other line, making Kassandra smile.
"But stiiiill. I promise. It won't be a creepy old man this time," said Lilith, making Kassandra sigh.
"I guess...? I don't have anything to do anyway," said Kassandra. Lilith grinned, and then ended the call. "Hey? Lil? Oh, god. She ended the call."
After taking her phone away from her ear, she received a message from Lilith herself. It was the place for their meet up, and the phone number of the guy she was gonna meet with.
Sighing, Kassandra ran her hands through her hair as she stood up. She was already dressed anyway.
Her white sundress was flowy, and her hair was down in beautiful beach waves. She observed herself on the nearby mirror, and then smiled. She didn't look too bad.
"Man, you're gonna ruin this," said Lucifer, as he ruffled his own hair.
"Dude, just trust me. Lilith and I have this planned out." said Azrael, as he chuckled.
Lucifer looked at himself in the mirror, contemplating whether he looked like he was gonna scare her away or not. He was clad in a black shirt, black ripped jeans with combat boots. He had a Chanel necklace around his neck, and his left hand had a gold wristwatch that screams I'm rich.
"What if she gets scared? Don't I look like some gang guy or...?" Asked Lucifer, making Azrael laugh. "Can I change my outfit to that... cringey goody two shoes Michael suggested?"
Azrael tried hard not to laugh, causing Lucifer to sigh.
"Believe me. Her type is that bad boy type. You're safe, man. She's probably gonna cringe if she saw you wear what Michael wants you to." Said Azrael, so Lucifer slowly nodded.
God, it was getting so hard for him. But still, he wanted to get her back just like how Az got his Lilith back.
"You got her number, right?" Asked Azrael, patting Lucifer's shoulder.
"Y-Yeah. I'm fucking nervous, dude, I-"
"Trust God," blurted Azrael out, causing both guys to laugh. "Or Dad, in your case."
"What the hell, man," said Lucifer, chuckling.
"Yeah, just go," said Azrael. And he did.
Looking around the coffee shop, Kassandra was starting to get frustrated. She had no idea where the hell her blind date was. Lilith didn't specifically tell her how the guy looked, but she had a feeling that it wasn't an old man like before. And yes, it happened before.
Deciding to just message the guy, she brought out her phone and started messaging the guy.
To: Mystery Guy
I'm here. Wru?
Sighing, she waited for his reply. After a few seconds, he gave her a reply.
From: Mystery Guy
At the table. In front of you.
Widening her eyes, she nervously looked at the table in front of her. There sat a guy with dark hair and dark clothes, making Kassandra stop on her spot.
"L-Lucifer?" Asked Kassandra, and Lucifer smirked.
"In the flesh," he said.
Somehow, that same phrase made Kassandra furrow her brows. Why does it all seem familiar? Why does it sound like she heard it all before?
Shaking her head, she placed her phone back in her purse and then sat down in front of him. To say that she found Lucifer breathtaking was an understatement.
"So... they set us up?" Kassandra awkwardly asked, and he smirked.
Okay, what the hell, why did I find that cool?, she thought.
"Yeah, you could say that," he said, leaning back on his chair.
"Oh, my God, this is so embarrassing," she admitted, covering her face with her hands but she heard him chuckling as he took her hands off of her face.
Kassandra almost flinched at his sudden touch, and then she looked at his hands, and down to his wrist. She furrowed her brows at what she just saw.
Is that a tattoo of a star? Wait, where did she see something like that again?
Lucifer observed her. He knew she saw it. He knew that she was starting to get curious about the tattoo. And so, he chuckled and then tried to start a conversation with her to lessen the tense atmosphere.
"You like my tattoo?" He asked, as he watched her eyeing his wrist with her full attention.
Her eyes looked so focused on the tattoo just as much as he is focused on her. Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation on her collarbone, making her touch it immediately.
Lucifer smiled, and then cleared his throat.
"Are you okay?" He asked, and she nodded.
Why do I have the same tattoo as him, but on my collar bone?, she thought.
"Let's order, shall we?" Asked Lucifer.
Her fingers were slightly trembling, but his smile somehow made her feel less weird. It was somewhat comforting for her, for an unknown reason.
"No, seriously! Az can act stupid sometimes but he loves Lilith with all his heart," said Kassandra, laughing as she and Lucifer watched Azrael and Lilith from afar. Somehow, they found out that the two were watching but then got carried away with each other which resulted to Lucifer and Kassandra having fun watching the two act stupid with each other.
"Yeah, I guess. That idiot is better when he's with her," said Lucifer, making Kassandra smile softly as she watched her friends. Lucifer and she created a bond with each other with the little coffee blind date, which explains why she was much more comfortable around him.
"I wish to meet someone who'll treat me like how Az treats Lil," Kassandra muttered, smiling softly.
Watching her secretly, Lucifer smiled. He wanted to be that person.
"I can be that person, you know?" He said, making Kassandra snap her head towards him.
"Um, but we just met recently, and-"
"We can get to know each other in the process. I'm patient, but I want to rreat you like my queen since the first day," he said, making her blush.
Her heart started beating faster, being in the same pace as his.
Smiling, Kassandra said, "I guess, we can."
