The Queen Of Fire

Chapter 9

When Lucifer went back to the living room I took my clothes and went to take a shower. I might be an idiot for trusting Lucifer when he told me that Diavolo means no harm but I just couldn't help it, he has this strange affection on me and his words just calmed me down immediately. That doesn't mean I won’t be careful around Diavolo. I am still not convinced enough that he means no harm to my friends. Yes I might be immortal but my friends are not, so I will be on alert just in case.
The other thing that is bothering me is why does he have such a strange effect on me. I met him like five days ago and he is already under my skin. I definitely need to get back to my self and put my barriers back up. The only thing that was keeping me sane are my barriers and I can't just put them down that easily...
Lucifer P.O.V.
When I got out of her bedroom I felt guilty, I shouldn't have lied about calling Diavolo... I am sure he means no harm to her nor her friends because we talked about it and if it was different I wouldn't put her in danger in any circumstances. I am not sure why, but I just feel like I can trust her even though we met five days ago. She is different from any other demon, witch or human I have met and I think I am slowly falling for her. When I saw her being so scared when I mentioned Diavolo I couldn't help myself but lie, I was afraid she would go crazy and do something that she would regret. I called Diavolo and told him everything.
-I am so glad you finally found her, thank you Lucifer. I might haven't see her in thousands of years, but she is still my family.- Diavolo said to me and I was relieved that I didn't make a mistake.
-Just make sure you don't tell her I lied okay?
-Why are you so worried about it, you the avatar of Pride. Last time I checked, you couldn't care less about what people thought about you.
-I am just worried she might try to hurt me or my brothers that’s all.- I lied, which is probably not a good idea since Diavolo knows when someone lies.
-Hmm, I don't trust you on that one, but I'll let it pass this time.- and with that he hung up. Ah I better go rejoin others in the living room they would start assuming why I wasn't there for so long, or at least is what I thought because the living room was empty. They must have went to sleep it’s pretty late. I decided to go back to Maria's bedroom and try to sleep as well. When I got in she was still in the shower. I changed in a shorts and decided to not wear a shirt since it’s pretty hot outside.
Maria P.O.V.
I finished showering and put on a black shorts and a tank top and went out of the bathroom to see a shirtless Lucifer laying on his bead looking at my sketchbook. “Seriously why are you making me hate you even harder?!" I thought to myself and tried not to stare.
-I believe I told you now three times to not touch my stuff Lucy.- I said and he looked up.
-Ok first stop calling me that I hate that nickname. And second I couldn't help it. Even though you are a loser your drawings are really amazing.- And here he goes again roasting me…
-I am not a loser, you are. I won every game that we played, and um thank you... Lucy.- he stopped looking at my sketchbook and gave me a dead stare. Bitch two can play this game.
-Since you like calling me Lucy I might allow you to call me that, pup.- what the…
-Um excuse me, like I need your allowance. And what kind of nickname is pup?
-Well since you are a werewolf, and you are pretty obsessed with drawing wolfs since your whole sketchbook is full of them... that’s a perfect nickname for you.- he gave me that dumb smirk again. Idiot. I threw a pillow at him with my magic and he was just staring at me for a few seconds.
-You just got yourself a enemy pup.
-That’s what I am trying to do this whole time Lucy.- I gave him a big smile, but the next thing I knew a pillow was thrown at my face with super speed and it knocked me down to the floor. And that’s how our pillow fight started. And yes I love pillow fights and I never lose the opportunity to have one.
When we finally finished fighting and announced its a draw I sat on my bed so I can smoke and Lucifer was lying next to me.
-Why do you even smoke, its ruining your health and it’s a waste of money.
-First of all I am immortal so it can do no harm to me, second of all I am rich so that settles it, I will smoke for the rest of my life.- He looked at me very disappointed in my life choices.
-Ok you have a point even though I don't support it.- how do his brothers live with him, he is such a pain in the ass.
-I already know what you will say. It’s a phrase that humans use “when did you became my mother?”- I was silent for a moment and he noticed it.
-Hey I was joking what’s wrong?- I took a deep breath-
-My biological parents, the real, not human ones, they died and you kind of hit the wrong spot...
-I-I'm sorry I didn't mean to... Can I know what happened?- I didn't want to tell him the full story, it’s too painful.
-They were tortured and killed in front of my eyes, and I wasn't able to do anything...- tears started to form in my eyes. I don't cry in front of anyone. Ever. It shows weakness, but only the thought of my parents being tortured in front of me and not being able to help them was just too painful.
-Oh, I am so sorry.. Come here.- he pulled me in a hug. At first I hesitated but the hug was what I really needed at this moment so I hugged him back. He was gently pampering my back and playing with my hair and I fell asleep...
Lucifer P.O.V.
-Oh, I am so sorry... Come here.- I pulled her in a hug. She was stiff at first but then she hugged me back. I was pampering her back and playing with her hair until she calmed down.
-Maria... Maria...- she fell asleep in my hug. It felt so nice holding someone, no holding her. I admit it I fell for her, and I fell hard. She was so beautiful inside and out, and she was strong and independent, but even she has gone through a lot. What Diavolo told me about her, and now from what she told me, even 0+though it’s probably only just a little part of what she has gone through, I decided and promised to myself that I will stay by her side and protect her. No matter does she want me to or not I will always be there to watch over her...
