A Hellish Situation

Chapter 6: Just Another Day, But With Demons

(Carmine's POV)
It was a normal day for me and Shlonky. We woke up, I did my work around the house, I made food, and mowed the lawn. Just another day, but with demons. They really didn't bother me much but that Angel guys getting on my nerves. All he does is stares at me with a suductive smirk. I don't even wanna know what's he's thinking about or doing in the other room...ugh just thinking about it makes me wanna throw up. The Vaggie girl is pretty nice, but has a mom personality a lot. Basically she's strict about certain things and certain things annoy the hell out of her, especially Angel. So I have to be careful of what I have to say or do around her. And then finally there is Charlie. I obviously don't have a problem with her. She's more of the nice and joyful type. She is always happy and smiling and she always has something nice to say. I like her, I really do. She's a good friend to have. Anyway that's how I feel about this whole "hellish" situation. So it was normal day, kinda. While I was doing the laundry in the laundry room Charlie came in. "Hey Carmine" she said. "Hey Charlie" I said still doing the clothes. "Hey I uh just wanted to ask you when you are going back to work" she said. I had no idea why she said that. "Uh tomorrow why?" I asked raising a brow. "Oh uh well um I-I just wanted to ask if you c-can y-you know, take us with you?" She said nervously. "I just wanted to see the city I've never seen a city on earth". "Uh yeah no" I said. "Pleeeeease, with sparkles and cherries on top?" Charlie said leaning towards me. "What are you two lovebirds talking about?" Angel said walking in. "I asked Carmine if he can take us with him to the city" Charlie whined. "And I said no way that's happening" I said. "Oh come on it can't be that bad" Angel said. "Yeah it can" I said chuckling. "Come on Carmine it'll be fun" Charlie said. "Yeah maybe for you not for me I can't have you guys jeopardizing my work...or worse" I said. "Please I promise we won't jeopardize your work!" Charlie said. I looked at Charlie who was giving me puppy eyes, then looked at Angel, then Vaggie. "Vaggie you gonna help me out here?" I said. "It's your choice man" she chuckled. I looked at Charlie who looked like she was about to cry if I said no. "...whatever" I sighed. "Really?!?" Charlie said. "I guess" I said. "Oh thank you thank you thank you!!!" Charlie said giving me a tight hug. "Yeah yeah yeah" I said pushing her off. "Hell yeah" Angel said. "How bad can it be?" I said.

A few hours later I was sitting on the couch when I heard a knock on my door. I walked over and opened it to see John. "Sup loser" John said. "Sup nerd" I said giving him our signature  handshake. "How've you been bro" John said. "Eh pretty good how bout you?" I said. "Pretty good myself" I said. "So why'd you text me to come over?" John said. "I got something to show you but you have to promise not to freak out" I said. "Oh please I don't freak out" John said. "Fine. Guys come out" I said. Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel came out of the kitchen. John looked confused as all hell. "Why do you have a furry in your house?" John said. "Hey!" Angel said. "That's not a furry these are...well demons" I said rubbing the back of my neck. "D-demons?" John said chuckling. "Your shitting me Carmine?". "I'm serious dude! Why would I lie to you? Have I ever?" I said. "...no" John said. "Then why would I now?" I said. "I don't know this must be a joke or something" John said. "He's telling the truth" Vaggie said. "We're demons". "Heh yeah ok then. Prove it." John said. "Uh yeah ok uh, guys?" I said. "I can do something I guess." Charlie said. Charlie closed her eyes for a moment until fire shot up from her fingertips. John flew back a bit. "What the fuck? H-h-how d-did you...what the hell?" John said. "Is that enough proof?" I asked.  John sat down. "No wonder they look weird" John said. "You good?" I said. "Yeah it's just a lot to take in" John said. "W-when did this happen?" John said. "A few days ago" I sighed. "Fucking Hell" John said. "Yeah literally" I chuckled. "Anyway...John this is Charlie the princess of hell, Charlie, John" I said. "Hi it's nice to meet you" Charlie said holding her hand out. "You too...wait the princess of hell?" John said shaking her hand. "Yeah just call me Charlie" Charlie said. "Careful she hugs without notice" I said. "John this is Vaggie, Vaggie, John" I said. "Nice to meet you" Vaggie said. "You as well" John said. "And John this is Angel, Angel, John" I said. "Hey cutie" Angel said. "Just careful with this one" I said. "Hey I'll fuck a demon" John said. "That's a guy" I said. "Ugh what the fuck!" John said falling back on the couch. "Hey I'm still here if you want sum hon" Angel said. "Yeah no thanks" John said. "Who else know about this?" John said. "Nobody and let's keep it that way" I said. "I'm pretty sure the FBI knows" John said. "What's the FBI?" Charlie asked. "It's a police force Charlie" I said. "What's police?" Charlie asked. "Is she serious?" John said. "Unfortunately yeah" Angel said. "They enforce the law Charlie" I said. "Oh" Charlie said. "The FBI doesn't know John" I said. "Why would the FBI know about us?" Charlie said. "They know everything about everything" John said. "Stop John" I said. "Even if they did well...I don't know we're fucked". "Well let's just hope they don't know anything" Vaggie said. "Yeah let's hope" I said "Look you can't tell anyone about this alright?". "Yeah of course, wait does Rebecca know?". "No and let's keep it that way" I said. "You should really tell her man" John said. "No I shouldn't I don't need her freaking out" I said. "Yeah can't argue with you there" John chuckled.

After telling him John just asked about what hell was like and other shit like that. He left after a few hours. I was getting ready for a shower when Charlie knocked on my door. "Uh come in" I said before I realized I had no shirt on. Charlie walked in. "Hey- oh" Charlie said with wide eyes. "Oh yeah sorry I was about to take a shower" I said. "Oh that's fine" She said. "So what's up" I said.
"Oh I just wanted to say thank you for letting us stay" She said. "Didn't you say that already" I chuckled. "Yeah but you don't understand Carmine" she said sitting on my bed. "Not that much people are nice to me and you doing this is just...*sigh* it's just crazy that your letting us stay and just know that it means a lot to me, it really does" She said. "...Well, that's because I care about what happens to you" I said. "Thanks Carmine" she said hugging me. I had no shirt on so that made me blush hard. "Yeah...no problem" I said. "Well...good night" she said. "Night" I said. She walked out. After she left I took a shower and got into bed. . I have no idea why I said I care about her. I don't care about her or what happens to her...do I? I mean I still didn't forget the fact she's a fucking demon. But still, saying that made her smile and to be honest, that's all I care about.

(Charlie's POV)
After leaving Carmine's room I slid down his door. I don't know what's wrong with me. I have these feelings about him that I never had for anyone else before. Do I...no. No no no no I can't have THOSE feelings for him. Do I like him? Like, like like him? No I can't like him. He's a human and I'm a demon. I don't like him. Besides he's engaged to someone. And its not like he'll like someone like me. I don't like him...do I? Aw man I like him. But I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me...right?
