A knock at the door and the hope that Chloe had on her face was overwhelmed with excitement. Could it be him?

She opened the door practically swinging it off its hinges but to her surprise, no one was at the door. The sign of disappointment covered her face but she noticed something. Just a simple card with her name on it was placed in front of the door. Bending down to pick it up, she heard a yell from Trixie.

"Mommy, I'm ready", Trixie exclaimed.
"Hey, monkey". Chloe stroked her face in comfort and indicates for her to get in the car. Trixie wore her uniform as if it was her prized possession, giving her face a glow as the sun hits her face. Her tie-up to her collar and her blazer neatly resting on her shoulders.

As Chloe begins to start the car, Trixie bounces with excitement as she loves her new school. 'New school, new rules' is what she always tells herself. Chloe thinks back about the card she left on the counter but only gives it a second thought before she proceeded to focus on the road. She told herself that she left it on the counter so she could give it further examination later on after work.

Work was exhausting as usual and the constant headache that she called Dan was always on her back with a new case or more information about a killer's victims. He always wore a plain coloured shirt and a leather jacket thinking it would make him look cool or something but actually, it did the opposite effect.  Enough about him. Chloe's partner, Lucifer, has been working with her for a few months now and the first time he laid eyes on her he wanted to get in her pants but Chloe had to restrain herself and refuse to give in to the pleasure he was so willing to give her. It wasn't just Lucifer that thought they couldn't breathe without each other's company. They both did.

Work finished as the day stretched and she reminded herself to take a look at the card she left on the table this morning for her to read. Pulling the card out of the bright red envelope, the card began to shine in the sun beaming through the windows.

It read:
You have been invited to an annual event at the lux penthouse,
December 16th,
19:00
<==>

Even though she didn't like the sound of an annual event this meant that she could 'set her wings free' and drink till the sun rises with her guardian devil (Lucifer) watching over her. They had quite a close relationship and Lucifer was her only best friend, except for Maze of course (her demon friend... no literally). Chloe smiled without meaning to and Trixie walked in with her douche ex-husband, Dan (remember him?). Trixie went straight for her room and Dan began to talk to Chloe so she had to act as if she was interested but in actual fact, she was thinking about the annual event and the man she was denying feelings for.

Chloe needed to shake her dreamy state before she got caught dosing off but before Dan could speak any further, she was saved from the dreaded conversation by the devil himself. Even though she didn't want to show it, she was feeling gleeful that Lucifer walked in and saved her (even though he might not have known it). He wore a classic white polo shirt, black bottoms, and a black tuxedo. Chloe could have drooled at the sight of him but she refrained herself and kept it professional. His hair was sleeked back with some natural curls seeping through his straight hair. He looked dreamy...

"Snap out of it decker", she thought to herself. Thankfully, her dreamy state was unnoticed by both men standing in front of her.
"Morning detective", he gave her a little morning smile and her insides had given in but she managed to pull herself together.
"Douche," he said in Dan's direction. Before any of us could do anything, Dan turns his back to them both and walks out like a child having a tantrum.
"Morning Lucifer," she says. He makes his way towards her, and he notices her taking a step back but Lucifer just shrugs it off. "Why are you here Lucifer?". Chloe begins to interrogate the strange man in her kitchen that called himself the devil and she gives him a stern look intrigued at what his answer would be but he replied with confidence as always.

"I wanted to ask if you got the invitation for the annual event at lux tonight and if you were going to come". She started to eye him up and down and even though she was going to go anyway, she pulled a face at him suggesting that she wasn't going to.
"Oh come on Chloe. Have some fun. You are so stuck up. You need to have a drink and loosen up. I can get us some shots?" he offered. Lucifer began to pout with those big puppy eyes (the ones he knew she couldn't say no to), showing the desperation on his face.
"Fine", she sighed in defeat. Lucifer's expression changed into a gleeful smile like when a chocolate cake was put in front of Trixie. It was adorable on his face but she would never admit it. Only to herself.

*Fast forward to 17:00 (the time of the event).

Lux was always busy, full of exotic dancers and businessmen looking forward to the night to come but the only reason Chloe was there was to see Lucifer mostly but a hint of her also just wanted to get extremely drunk because of all the stress at work. She had seen Lucifer dancing with two women but she didn't want to intervene so she decided just to order some shots of vodka from the bar.
"That should get the night up and going", Chloe thought to herself. Lucifer has seen her ordering herself a drink at the bar and he walked over intrigued by what she was doing.
