Chereads / The Devil is a Handsome Man / Chapter 16 - Endearments

Chapter 16 - Endearments

We sat in the car and drove off . Both of us did not speak a single word throughout the drive . After half an hour we arrived before a beautiful silver gate . Beside the gate just outside Lucifer's car door was a machine . Lucifer opened his window and pressed his hand on a part of the machine which I assumed was the scanner . Then , his eyes were scanned and after this the gate opened .

' Woah , I never expected this level of security . Even if he is the richest man on this planet , I don't think that there would be anyone audacious enough to rob him . Anyway can't blame him , better safe than sorry . ' I thought .

Once we entered through the gate , it took us about 2-3 minutes before we arrived before a humongous mansion . In the garden their were fountains , many different varities of plants , a gazebo , etc . I was practically awestruck on seeing all this .

By the time I came back to my senses , I saw that my door was open and Lucifer had held out his hand . I was astonished to see him being so chivalrous . I stared at his hands for a few seconds before he spoke .

" Are you planning to sit inside for the entire day ? " he asked , his voice laced with impatience .

I quickly took his hand and climbed out carefully , making sure that I don't step on my dress .

" I never thought that you were the chivalrous type . " I spoke .

" You'll know soon enough the type of person I am . " he said with a smirk .

I did not respond to his statement .

" Welcome young master and young madam . " a few servants who I didn't notice earlier , chorused together .

Lucifer just nodded his head while I smiled at them . Once we entered the house , a person came towards us and introduced himself .

" Good evening young master and young madam . Young madam , I am Ben , the butler . You can look for me in case you need anything . "

" Then I'll have to trouble you quite a lot Ben . " I said with a smile .

" It would be my pleasure to serve you, young madam ." he said and went away .

Lucifer took me upstairs with my hand still in his and guided me towards the bedroom . Once we were inside , he abruptly left my hand and went straight towards his walk in closet . He grabbed some clothes , a towel and went inside the bathroom without saying a word .

I went towards the bed . The moment I sat on it , I felt my body sink in .

' Ah , this mattress is so soft . If not for the fact that I have yet to take a bath , I would've definitely went straight to bed . ' I thought and changed my sitting position numerous times before finally laying down .

After about half an hour , Lucifer emerged from the bathroom , clad only in sweat pants . One of his hands was swaying as he walked while the other held a towel with which he was drying his hair . From his body , I could clearly make out that he worked out often . I wondered when he got the time to do some exercise when he was managing the world's leading corporation .

Looking at his abdominal muscles , I could feel my cheeks heat up . I could not take my eyes off of him no matter how hard I tried . If I was an anime character , I would've probably had a nose bleed by now .

" Like what you see . " he said and winked at me .

His words broke me out of my reverie and I acted as if I was scrutinizing him before saying , " Nah .... Definitely not . "

I was unquestionably lying .

" The words you spoke and your body reaction was worlds apart . I personally believe your body than your words . " he continued , " See , even now you are still blushing . "

I stayed mum but I could feel that the blush on my cheek had spread to my ears and neck .

" You look like you are planning on neither taking a bath nor changing your dress , and here I thought that doctors were hygienic . "

" I was just waiting for you . " I said .

I was walking towards the bathroom when I remembered that I had not seen my luggage that contained my clothes and other necessities since the very start .

" Hey , where is my suitcase ? " I asked .

" Check the wardrobe . "

I went inside the closet and saw all my clothes and shoes nicely set up .

' Ah , I need to thank the maids for this . ' I thought .

I took one of my silk gowns that reached around my mid thigh and walked out . Despite the fact that we hadn't even had our dinner yet , I didn't want to change twice so I just decided to wear my night dress instead of wearing some lounge wear .

" Oh and by the way , how do you want me to address you ? " I asked right before entering the washroom .

Lucifer smirked in a mischievous but devilish manner while taking one step at a time towards me . I got alarmed and stepped backwards but collided with the door of the bathroom .

While I was in a dilemma as to what I should do , Lucifer came near me and trapped me between him and the door by standing right in front of me and keeping his hands on either sides of my face .

" Well " he started speaking near my ear , " You can call me Lucifer but .... I would rather like it if you would call me hubby or darling , sweetheart .

" I'd r-rather call y-you Lucifer .... I-I am not really fond of using such endearments . " I said while stuttering . The closeness made me feel suffocated .

He clicked his tongue and said , " What a pity . "

Then he started leaning towards me , his line of sight were fluctuating between my eyes and my lips . His actions raised a red flag in my head and I escaped from under his arm .

I quickly entered the bathroom , locked the door and then sat down on the floor with the door against my back . I could hear him chuckling at my actions . I looked at the mirror and saw my extremely red face .

' This annoying , irritating , idiotic Devil . How dare he tease me like this ? Oh I am so gonna take my revenge . The name ' Devil ' truly suits him . ' I thought as I fumed . If I was in a cartoon , you would have probably seen smoke coming out of my ears .

Lucifer's POV

I chuckled looking at her actions .

' You called me a Devil that day , didn't you sweetheart , now I'll show you the real Devil . ' I thought with a satanic smile on my face .

Then , I took out a gray shirt and wore it before opening a window to allow some ventilation and going downstairs .

Alexandra's POV

When I came out of the bathroom , I saw that Lucifer was no where to be found and one of the windows was open . I went near the window and saw the astounding scenery . The scenery around this house was absolutely fantastic . I would have never even in a million years thought about the probability of such a beautiful place existing in New York .

After admiring the scenery for a few more minutes , I grabbed a thin cardigan to wear over my black silk gown and went downstairs where I saw Lucifer sitting on one of the sofas . When he saw me , he slowly got up and asked me .

" Oh , you're here . Let's eat dinner , shall we ? "

I nodded and went towards the dining table .

He sat at the head of the table while I sat at his side .
