Kristiel (Lucifer Love Story)

Part 10

Kristiel's POV

I wake up the next morning to the classical music still playing. I look around and see that I have left the blender partially full of Piña Colada on the bar, my clothes are strewn about on the floor. I also notice that Lucifer is nowhere to be seen. Did he not come back last night? I sit up and swing my legs over the edge of the bed and notice that I'm still somehow wearing the Benny Choi's. How did I take my pants off over my shoes? I quickly take them off and inspect them to make sure they aren't too damaged. I walk into the living area with the bar and the couch to put the shoes back in their box.

I take a deep breath to center myself and head back into the bedroom to find my pants. I end up finding my shirt first. I put it on before seeing my pants on the floor by the other side of the bed. I put them on and my phone ends up falling out of the back pocket. I pick it up after zipping and buttoning the front of my jeans, and I think about what I had done last night. Am I trying to self sabotage my deal with Lucifer? I take another deep breath before cleaning up the rest of my mess and turning off the music. I look at the time on my phone before placing a call as I drop myself down on the couch, laying across the seats.

"Doctor Martin's office." I hear the receptionist answer.

"Hi, this is Kristiel. I was in there a bit ago and I was wondering if she has any time for a session with me? I know she may be on her lunch break, but I wanted to call before coming over there."

"Umm...Let me just check with her." She answers, putting me on hold. Some elevator music is played while I wait. I almost fall back to sleep before she gets back to me. "Miss Kristiel..."

"Yes?"

"Doctor Martin had an early lunch and says she does have time for you today. She has an opening in about a half hour." A smile grows on my face.

"Thank you so much." I tell her as I sit up on the couch. "I will be there." I hang up and go to the safe again, grabbing the cash to pay for my session. I go downstairs to my apartment to change into new, but similar, clothes and grab my bag. Then I head down to the club area. I know I'll find Maze there. "Maze!?" I shout as I walk down the stairs to the bar area. I get no answer. "Maze!" I shout again.

"What?" I hear her ask from the top of the stairs. I turn around with a questioning look on my face.

"Where were you?" I ask as I make my way back up the steps.

"Just out, why?" I squint my eyes at her. She's acting quite suspicious.

"Just curious." I say before getting back to why I was looking for her. "But I was looking for you. I need a ride to that doctor's office you took me to the last time."

"If you need someone to talk to, you can just talk to me." She smirks, leaning back on the railing with her arms crossed in front of her.

"I know the types of things you would say about certain things and I think I need someone who is sort of neutral. Someone who's not going to just agree with me all the time. Not that I don't love it." I smile at her with the last sentence, and she smiles back at me.

"Alright, let's go see the doctor, then." She says. With that, we head out of LUX and Maze brings me to Linda's office. By the time I arrive the patient before me is heading out. I don't even have time to sit on the waiting room couch before she calls me in. I enter her office and sit on the couch there instead. She heads to her desk and pulls out a pretty thin file.

"Okay," She starts, walking over to sit across from me. "Where did we leave off last time?" I can tell she's trying to read her notes from the last time.

"I remember Lucifer interrupted." I smile at her.

"Right." She smiles back. "We had been talking about him praising you for your work in your hobby."
