Laura sits at Mr T-foods restaurant, having her lunch. It has been a month now since they had resume school again, She, George and Tyler were doing fine, Raven was also fairing well but he faces the challenges of being unable to control his telepathy and super hearing abilities.
But as time goes Raven learns how to control it with the help of George. He also was hanging out with Kara pretty well making it easier to bear and also makes him not wanting to miss school.
Laura sat there and took a sip out of her lemonade. She felt a warm air blew across her face sending her hairs flying backwards, this wasn't new to her. Was she dreaming again, she thought. If she was she wanted to wake up as soon as possible.
The door opens, and she raise her head to see who it was then she saw him. Just as he was in her dreams so he is right at the door. She felt her heart pull trying to force itself out of her throat.
He strolls towards were she sat he draws out a chair and sits on it facing Laura. Laura closed her eyes hoping to wake up, but she didn't she opened her eyes and he was still there. His facial appearance seem to attract the stares if everyone, he looks so much like Raven when he had his hair on, and off course the man's long hair was weaved behind him just like Raven's.
Was this man also an angel. She thought.
She stares at him, his pair of black pants, black sleeve, his eyes, he was without doubt a replica of Raven, only that he doesn't scent like Raven and she felt a very powerful dark aura oozing out from him. Something about him scares her away wanting her to scream and run away, but at the same time a part of her wanted to be with him, wanted to hug him to feel the warmth of his body.
He stares at her, then grins.
You can breath now, Laura Eastman. He said with a deep melodious voice that made Laura concludes that he was an angel.
She didn't realize she had stopped breathing for that long.
She gasp heavily as she gaze at him.
Who are you? She manage to say.
Once before your doom, and the seas you once called me "Mr Voice". He blurted out.
Laura remembers the voice who had spoke with her. She gulps heavily.
I am Lucifer Morningstar. He added.
The devil?! Laura exclaimed.
Whichever way you wish to put it. Lucifer said.
Laura frowns,
You don't seem scared of me. Are you? Lucifer asked amuse by Laura.
Why should I?
Because I'm the devil? Lucifer said.
The devil who once talked to me from the shadows. Laura scoffs.
Precisely. Lucifer grins.
Well I don't fear you, and you are late, you said you would come at lunch. Laura said.
Where you expecting me? Lucifer glares at her.
Well, I am not sure. Laura fum anger.
Lucifer relaxes his back on the chair hands folded across his chest. He glares at her.
You were expecting me. He said calmly, so sure of what he said.
Laura opens her mouth to say something, but she couldn't find her voice.
Well this is lunch time. Lucifer said coming to her aid.
Lucifer, what are you doing here? She asks still taken aback by the fact that she's talking to the devil.
Lucifer pause, he likes the way Laura called his name. He wasn't sure anyone has called him that way.
Well to see you, and maybe to talk. He blurted out.
And what makes you think I would want to talk with the devil? She said bluntly.
Because only a few are lucky to have the opportunity to speak with the devil. He snaps.
And you call this opportunity? Laura blurted out.
You can call it whatever you want. Lucifer said carelessly.
I am not talking to you. Although I don't believe in religious stuff, but I do believe that the devil is corny and dangerous, does nothing but mislead people. Laura said bluntly.
Hey! I'm not that bad, you humans made that up yourselves. Lucifer defends.
And what's that suppose to mean? She snaps.
First of all, I don't mislead people you humans do plenty of the bad stuffs yourself and secondly it's absurd referring to me as corny and dangerous. He said.
Why am I even talking to you? Laura fum anger.
Because you want to. Lucifer teases.
What do you want? Laura said.
Exactly what you want? Lucifer said.
Laura scoffs frustrated. I know what I want, now what do you want from me.
No, I don't need anything from you. I am here to see if we could sort things out. He said.
What?!
You know what I mean. Lucifer snaps.
No, I don't. Laura defended.
Lucifer grins.
You don't seem so good either Laura. He said.
Lucifer, can you manipulate ones dreams. Laura ask curiously.
Sure, I can. But I find no pleasure doing so. He replies.
So you don't impose yourself in my dreams. Do you? She asked confused.
Lucifer glares at her.
Funny, isn't it.
What's funny about that. Laura fum anger.
You know, I was about asking you the same thing. Lucifer said.
I told you earlier I had nothing to do with it. She snaps.
And I believed you. Lucifer said.
Pauses
Do you want to leave here, like go somewhere else.
With you. Laura inquired.
Yes, with me. Anything wrong with that? Lucifer said.
No, it's just that.....
You, going out, with the devil himself. It's totally new to you. Lucifer snaps.
Yyy....yes, no not like that. Laura said confused.
Laura, you should be precise.
Ok, ok we can go. Laura said.
Lucifer grins.
They both got up and left the restaurant strolling down the streets.
Did you really came to Earth just to meet me. Laura asks curiously.
Yes, I did. He glares at her. You don't believe me at all.
Yes, probably because the devil is said to be the father of all liars. She said calmly trying not to annoy Lucifer.
The devil always get the blame for anything evil. He snaps.
Maybe it is because the devil is evil himself, an embodiment of evil and anything bad since the beginning of time. She said as if referring to someone else.
Lucifer stops then stares at her, she could see the displeased look in his eyes.
No, I am not evil, I only torture evil. He defended yet with a calm voice.
Humans since the beginning of time had always believed in good and bad, they always seek someone or something to blame for their failures, misfortunes and everything evil. He added.
So you are saying, that you are not evil, and that you are just a victim of humans wide imaginations. Laura inquired.
Precisely, you got that right, being the torturer of evil, makes me a victim of mankind. He said.
Hmm, Laura hums not knowing what to say.
Lucifer kept quiet, staring at her.
You know, Laura said. I don't believe in this stuffs before until now I live in the same roof with an angel, it's just like a bizarre.
No, Raven isn't that bad. Lucifer snapped.
How did you.... Laura asked confuse.
Benefits of being an angel or as I would say ex-angel. Lucifer snaps.
He said he came looking for you, but....
God didn't allow him to get to me, I know. Lucifer groans as he clenches his fist.
Why Lucifer?And you and Raven what do you two have in common. Laura widens her eyes as if realizing something. Are you two twins.
No, Laura. Not even close. He said concealing the anger that engulfs him.
Laura watches him for a moment, she saw he was uncomfortable with the topic. His fist clenched, his eyes blazing like fire.
Laura, I think we could leave that for another day. He said calmly.
Laura was surprised, how was he still able to maintain such a calm voice in his present state.
She nods her head.
Do I amuse you? He said brightening up.
No, why should I be amuse?she said.
Because you do amuse me. If only you really meant no? He sighs.
And why do you think so.
I can read your mind, Remember. He blurted out.
And you think, you amuse me? She said.
Maybe, but you just can't admit it.
Who would ever wanna admit being amuse by the devil. She scoffs.
I will take that as a compliment. Lucifer said.
Do you really feel... comfortable around me... Being the devil. Lucifer asked curiousitty in his eyes.
You can read my mind, what is the need saying it. She teased.
I want to hear them from your sweet lips, Laura. He said.
As much as I hate to admit it, Yes. I like it. She said.
Lucifer grins.
You don't mind me being the devil. He inquires.
You didn't call yourself that, and I could as well give you a chance. She said.
Lucifer stops, he looks at Laura eyes he saw sincerity in her eyes. He felt like kissing her but he didn't want to ruin the little friendship he had with her now, he gently arranged a few strands of unplaced hair behind her back.
Laura I think you should go home now, it's getting late. He said calmly and reluctantly.
Laura gasp. Ok, ok.
She turns to leave but Lucifer held her wrist, she turns.
What is it. She said.
You can't go that way, it's a long way to your home. Lucifer said.
No other way. She concludes.
Of course there is. Lucifer draws her to his arms and hugged her. Laura couldn't resist because she felt the comfort of his hold, she felt like she belongs there.
Close your eyes. He said in a whisper which sent warmth round her body, she felt her knees weaken that she couldn't hold herself. The air around her became warmer and warmer swirling around her.
You can open your eyes now. He said.
Laura opens her eyes and to her surprise she was in her room. She wanted to ask him how but he had earlier told her he was the devil, what else could be impossible. Lucifer releases her, and she reluctantly lets go.
Lucifer grins at her, she bends her head down as she felt her cheeks burn, she was blushing and Lucifer didn't like the pink colour on her pale skin either.
I will go now. He groans.
Will I see you again. She asked eagerly.
Only time will tell. He said as he vanishes into thin air.
