Lucifer stared at the doorbell gathering his courage. Memories of the day before had made him hesitant, but he couldn't leave her as she was. As he was about o press the bell he heard a grunt and movement from the back of the house. He followed the noise but remained quiet not quite sure who was making the noise. It was Latonya, she was in the air with a spear in hand. She landed with a thud and swung her body and spear around with force and grace. Lucifer watches her astonished. He didn't dare blink scared he'd miss her magnificence. In a small part of Lucifer's mind, he was also trying to learn since her forte was magic and not quite combat. Latonya was trying to work up a sweat, to fling off all the anger and betrayal she felt with every jump and flip. Combat, she felt, was the only thing she was good at. She wanted some normalcy.
Lucifer was at the point filled with so much pride. He had been watching in silence for about 20 minutes and she was finally working up a sweat. His beloved was so majestic and strong. A force to be reckoned with. The lust inside him stirred and fought with him, but he pushed it down due to his overwhelming admiration.
Suddenly she stoping, taking one deep breath to compose herself. She looked into the navy blue sky and the large full moon and enjoy the light on her skin. She tapped her spear twice and it disappeared. She was suddenly alerted by a strange presence, she had been so much in her head she hadn't even noticed Lucifer was so close. Her body was hot and she started sweating more than everything she just did.
Lucifer finally came out of hiding, "Hey Laytonya", The King of The Underworld was nervous to the point of nausea. "I just came to see how you were doing. Sorry I was watching you I-I Couldn't take my eyes off you". As lucifer walked closer Laytonyas body cooled down so she became to walk toward him too. "Would you like to come inside we can talk in a more comfortable setting". Latonya felt level headed so she could talk to him without breaking down. "Yeah, that would be great I uh brought cookies". Latonya started at him confused, "You don't know what cookies are?" she shook her head confused. Maybe it was something she missed in school she thought. They walked inside and cold air hit lucifer like a truck. "Oh my gosh it's cold! Do you not feel that?" Laytony laughed under her breath, "No it feels kinda warm actually". Lucifer had forgotten that she was from mercury. "I guess, whatever you say". he rubbed his arms desperate for warmth. The mating bond from being apart wasn't even warm enough. They sat on the couch facing each other awkwardly. "Here! these are cookies they're sweet. They are human recipe, chocolate chip." Laytonya grew suspicious of these cookies but the look on his face had softened her heart and suspicions.
Lucifer watched as her face turned into shock. "Oh, my Divine these are so good". She quickly grabbed two more from the package and indulged in the treat. Lucifer's heart jumped in his chest but he was relieved she was smiling, and smiling big at that. Soon she had eaten all the cookies leaving none for Lucifer but he couldn't find the heart to care. "Oh no! I ate all of them I'm so sorry!", "It's ok I'll make more another time", "You made those! that's is so cool!". Latonya was having a was with Lucifer's heart. He suddenly realized he came here with an objective. "Latonya I did come here to see if you were ok, yesterday, yesterday I was worried especially when I saw you outside. What happened? do you feel comfortable sharing with me".
Latonya, even though deep down she knew Lucifer was genuine, she couldn't quite trust him with her emotions, she couldn't trust him to stay. "Maria was very despicable to me she was close to me. But I'm in a new place now with new people and you know, I met you. Yesterday just broke me I was thrust into a new environment and all that I thought I knew was wrong. Thank you for giving me that time to breathe". Lucifer heard the strain in her voice she was hiding something. Plus, he thought, who was he to press her. What Maria was doing was wrong but It didn't defy any universal laws so really he couldn't (legally) do anything. Suddenly he had an amazing thought, a plan. That witch will get what she deserves. "If you say so love. If you ever feel like that again don't hesitate to lean on me I carry all of it with me.
Latonya was a bit stunned at his declaration. no one other than Mari had offered to comfort her or shoulder her emotions to help. Even when she thought about it, Maria was quite dismissive of her feelings as she got older. She felt tears rising up but she quickly pushed them down. She wouldn't cry this was a new beginning for her. "Thank you, Cookies would make me feel better". Lucifer smiled holding her small hand "I'll make a million if it would make you smile".
My new mother or my actual mother I guess was so different. I felt like I knew her but I've never seen her before. She was warm and held me close. I've seen and heard so many strange things! I knew there were so many things outside of that room there had to be. I wonder what Latonya is doing. One day, I hope I can see her again and show her the things I've seen so I can finally see her smile.
