Loving the Wrong Girl

I woke up and looked at the clock on Lily's nightstand, it was 12:15 AM. I looked over to L and saw her sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed. I decided to get up and go wash off the dry blood I didn't get to before. I walked into the bathroom and took a short shower when I walked back out I saw Lily was sitting up in her bed. Staring right at me.

"You're naked," she said with a smile on her face.

She was right, all I had on was a towel. I needed new clothes.

"Mind if I use some of your clothes for now?" I asked, trying to hide the fact that I am excited to wear Lily's clothes.

"Sure," Lily said.

I grabbed some clothes and went back into the bathroom.

When I came back out Lily was still in the same position as before. I walked over to her bed and sat next to her. We stayed quiet for a while before Lily finally spoke.

"Can I kill him now?" She asked. I knew she was talking about Valentine.

I shook my head no and we continued to sit in silence for a few more minutes.

"You ruined your sheets," I said, trying to make some kind of conversation.

"Yeah well, I was kind of bleeding out. Were you crying when you went to sleep?" Lily asked me.

"Yeah, I was," I said truthfully. "I wasn't expecting it but you were dying and it just happened."

"I heard the conversation you and Valentine had at the bar. You... you love me?" Lily asked, looking at me.

I looked down and nodded.

"Look I don't know what love feels like, Devils and Demons only really feel lust. All we want to do is have sex and then never speak to the person again. But I don't feel that with you. When I'm around you I feel like I can't breathe, the first night you were here and Judas almost caught you. I thought he was going to kill you, and the thought of you getting hurt makes me feel weak. I don't know where all these feelings came from or what they mean but they exist and I am aware of them," Lily said, still staring at me.

I suddenly realized I had tears forming in the back of my eyes, threatening to come out. I met Lily's eyes and finally spoke.

"That's what love is, and now you know that it is mutual. Maybe devils can really feel things past just lust. You are proof of that," I said, still staring at her. The second I was done Lily leaned in and planted a small kiss on my lips. I loved it but I wanted more. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her back in like I did before and we kissed passionately. This time she let me explore the inside of her mouth. And I did. We ended up falling asleep spooning. Lily held me as all I could think about was how much trouble I would get into by loving her.
