Lucifer's Queen

Chapter 3

*Erica's pov*

A long sigh escaped from my mouth catching the attention of the male who sat behind, combing my long hair, untangling the messy knots while humming a low tune to make sure I won't get bored while he worked his 'magic' on my hair. I felt the comb on my head freezing as he gently tugged from my hair, bending my head backwards to get a glimpse of his mysterious eyes. 

"What made my princess lost deep in her thoughts?" He questioned with a glint of teasing manner into his tone and released the grip on my hair allowing me to raise my head again and glance back at the teenage couple who was laying in the green grass, reading a book together while showering each others faces with kisses. I glanced down at my lap and started fiddling with my fingers as I felt him start braiding my hair, waiting patiently for my answer.

"I wish to date someone!" I said simply, casting my glance back at the couple to notice they are falling sleep on each others embrace, totally shutting out the world to be lost in their own world. 

"Why?" He voiced out curiously, not judging at all. That's what I admired about him. He was always there to listen and understand. I straighten my sitting posture, ready to enlighten him with my reasons.

"I want to feel that. I want those hormones to be activated. I want to know how it feels to go on dates and have someone connected to your daily life routine. I want someone to hold my hands and surprise me with sudden presents. I want someone to be possessive over me and boss me around demanding what to do and what not to do. I want to sneak out for secret meetings and have late night conversations. I want to feel-" I pointed at the couple laid on grass, few feet away from us "what they feel right now!" As I finished my explanation or rather my list of desires to experience, he finished braiding my hair only to demand for the hair tie so he can finish his task.

"Aren't you too young for it?" I snorted at his question turning around to face the man sitting behind me with a satisfaction look towards my appearance as he was the one who added the final touch to it with my hair style. 

"I am almost 17 Tae! Look around. All the couples are in this park either people of my age or already married couples with their families to enjoy the weekend." I pointed out as he roamed his gaze around the park. "Girls my age do drugs and get pregnant these days!" His eyes narrowed as I mentioned that, but as always he wasn't quick to judge and waited patiently for me to explain my reasons. "I am not asking to do those things or start a family at such a young age. I just want to enjoy this period of my life and do what I am supposed to do at this age. To date and taste the experience of it." I glanced at him waiting for his response while he took his sweet time to process what I said.

"Well if you put it in that way, aren't you already experiencing it?" He questioned creating lines between my brows when they scrunched with confusion. He clicked his tongue, creating a 'tsk' sound and chuckling at my dumbness. "You are sneaking out to meet me, I bring you sudden presents and boss you around. I hold your hands and I even comb your hair just now."

"But you haven't take me on dates?" I argued unintentionally pouting at the thought.

"If you so badly want a one, I can take you on a one next Sunday!" He said casually, making me hold my breath at his sudden proposal. 

"Are you hinting that you are my boyfriend?" I couldn't help but to question his intention and hold into my breath with anticipation at his answer. 

"If that's what you want to name it and If you are happy with it, I will be your boyfriend for the time being so you can experience what you wanted without getting into a trouble with a jerk." My heart did flips making my stomach churn with a feeling which has been getting familiar to me recently on his presence. I couldn't fully process what he said as my mind decide to roam around on those five words 'I will be your boyfriend' only, refusing the rest of his words to sink in. With the sudden urge of excitement and bubbling happiness I threw my body into his, wrapping my both arms around his neck and almost knocking him to the ground if it wasn't for his fast reflection.
