Husk and I was still hanging out, listening to music and he watched me draw while ranting and drinking a bottle of some booze that I hadn't seen before, he said it was created in Hell so eh whatever.

At the time, I was sketching him drinking because I didn't know what else to do. He was laying down next to me. He then sat up and gently put his hand on the center of my thigh and made me jump. “Hey!” He chuckled and kissed my cheek. “Sorry doll, I didn't think it'd startle you that much.” I giggled and said it was fine. He then placed his hand back, but closer to my knee this time.

The music stopped and I checked my phone, it was 2 pm and it stopped just because it was asking if I was still there. I groaned, hit yes, and it kept playing. I looked at Husk and said, “Are you gonna stay here kitty or are you gonna go with me to work? Because I think I'm gonna leave in a few minutes to go to work early.” He growled, saying, “Stop calling me kitty and kitten, firstly. Secondly, yeah, gotta make sure no bastard tries to take my baby.” I giggled and nodded, “I won't leave willingly though.”

I paused the music and headed downstairs with Husk. Charlie stopped me before I walked out and asked when I'd be back. “I don't know, my show is at 8 so technically I can come back any time afterwards.” She nodded and let us go.

Husk had his wing wrapped around me hiding my body from other people. He had told me he didn't want the attention I'd draw from people if they saw my face, so I was almost un-see-able.

Apparently though, that wasn't good enough, because another demon pulled me out from under his wing. When the demon did, he started flirting with me and quickly caught the attention of other demons around.

Husk growled and shoved them aside and pulled me from them. “Keep your motherfucking dirty hands off my girl damnit.” One of them tried to punch Husk square in the nose, but I grabbed his fist and twisted it. He gritted his teeth and I got close to his face. “I know how to defend myself against dirty deadbeats like you, and trust me when I say if you ever try to touch him or me again you will die a slow painful death....again.” I kicked his face and Husk grinned at me as we walked away from the crowd.

“Deadbeats, huh?” Husk had this goofy grin on his face like I was  a 4 year old kid that just learned how to say fuck. “Yeah, deadbeats. You don't see them being a loving person, do you?” “What am I then, I'm not any better.” I looked at Husk swaying my tail. What does he mean? At least he cares for me. “Husk, what are you talking about?” “You act like I'm any better. I'm just as bad, if not worse.” “At least you care about me.” Husk smiled and wrapped his wings around me again. “You better bet your ass I do.”

We got there and I sat down at a poker table with Husk and some other demons. “You playin' darlin?” One of them asked, a perverted grin plastered on his face. “N-no. I don't have money to bet.” They all laughed and Husk smiled and patted my head. I watched him play with the others, it wasn't competitive though, more of a stress relieving game. None of them seemed to care about winning the money, just socializing which stunned me.

Husk's tail was wrapped around me while he played. I wanted to mess with him, but he'll lose focus and might get mad. I watched him play and win over and over. It was getting boring. I didn't know how to entertain myself, but luckily I didn't have to.

He stood, grabbed my hand and  walked us to the bar. We sat and he asked for whiskey and a cup of red wine. Rose walked in the back to get some. I giggled and looked up at him. “Wine? That's not like you!” “Well doll, I wanted you to try the kind they got here. It's different than what they've got on Earth.” I leaned on him, smiling.

Once she sat the glasses on the bar, Husk pulled out his wallet and paid her. I lifted the glass and sniffed it a little. It smelled sweet, and bubbly. I took a small sip, it tasted sweet and savory. I could slightly taste some sort of berry, but it was faint. I drank it some more, and ended up finishing the whole glass.

Husk smiled while looked down to me. “Jeez you drank that fast. I had a feeling you'd like it but damn.” I heard him mumble something to himself while looking down to the ground. “That was kind of sexy...” I blushed and looked down, my ears flattened.

He chuckled, “It's almost your turn on stage, doll. You've got 30 minutes till 8.” He gently scratched my back and I relaxed some more. “Thanks kitty. I'm bored though.” “Well you need to be getting backstage. As much as I'd love to sit here and get you drunk out of boredom you have a job and you need the money.” I giggled as he ruffled my fur on my head. Well, I say ruffled, but he wasn't messing with my bangs, just in between my ears. So it wasn't really ruffled.

I walked backstage. Katy ran by and handed me my outfit. “Changing room 6!” is all she said then ran off. I quickly walked to the 6th changing room and changed. I sat down and checked my phone, 7:45. So, that's why everyone was running around.

After my performance I walked home with Husk. Once we got back we hung out in my room again, him drinking and me reading a book. “Why does our date have to be tomorrow?” He chuckled and poked my nose. “Because then we can have more time duh.” “Alright fine, fine.”

Why do I have to wait so long for this date? Well it is tomorrow...I can't wait....
