Chereads / HELL AS MAN / Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

"Dad I'm fine, I will be home soon." Kara said on the phone.

Kara scoffs. Her dad arrived 3 days ago; since then he has been in his usual manner towards her,  being overprotective.

He doesn't know about Raven yet, so she often sneaks to the hospital after school. Whenever Kara is absent from school, he makes her follow her were ever he goes. Right now he wants her home, he knew the school closed 2 hours ago.

Kara drops her phone. She stare at Laura. Both of them were the only ones in the room aside from Raven.

"Kara, your dad is only looking out for you." Laura said.

"I know, but he should at least let me have some freedom." Kara blurts out.

Laura sighs.

"Do you think he will be okay." Kara asks referring to Raven.

"I'm not sure what to believe now." Laura said.

Kara stares at her wrist watch, '6:45PM'. "I gotta get going now."

"Ok." Laura said.

Kara felt reluctant to leave. "Take care. Ok? I would be back first thing tomorrow morning."

Laura nods.

Kara left reluctantly, she felt bad for leaving but she knew she could get into bigger troubles if she had stayed.

Laura was left alone in the hospital; her mind drifted to what Amenadiel had told her earlier. Destiny or whatever it is called, she wanted to change it. She has had enough from supernatural things and beings, she just want to be normal not paranormal.

"Laura." Laura heard Lucifer's voice in her head.

Laura turns back and she saw him, he wasn't as cheerful as he used to be whenever he saw her. She saw pains in his eyes, she wonders why but she doesn't think the devil should have any emotions at all.

Lucifer approaches her.

She gets up to meet him. "Lucifer, what are you doing here?"

"I'm came to check on you. Amenadiel told me what happened." Lucifer's gaze travels round Laura's body checking if she is hurt.

"I'm fine."  She assures.

Lucifer hugs Laura tightly, he strokes and scents her hair. "I was worried about you."

Lucifer's releases Laura, he stares at Raven.

"Amenadiel said he will be fine." Laura assures.

Lucifer sighs."I hope so." Lucifer took Raven's hand to feel his pulse. "He is stable."

"Why do you two look so alike?" Laura asks curiously.

Lucifer scowls."Does that matter now?"

"No, I'm just curious."

Raven grunts, and rolls over.

"Raven, Raven." Laura taps him. "He's still out."

"He will be fine." Lucifer assures.

Laura frowns.

"Don't do that now Laura." Lucifer scolds.

Laura sighs. "I think; I need a break, I've been here all day. I'm exhausted."

"Ok, then we can go somewhere else." Lucifer sighs. "Hospitals make my skin curl."

Laura scoffs. "I'm famish."

"Then we can go to a restaurant." Lucifer offers.

"No, My mom and George would be coming with dinner." Laura said.

"A drink?" Lucifer persuades.

"I can't leave him, he isn't human we can't risk leaving him to be treated like one." Laura explains.

"I can pause time, then it looks like we didn't leave here at all." Lucifer said.

"That's hilarious, you are hilarious." Laura said.

Laura steps backward away from him, but is stopped by the bed.

Lucifer grins. "I won't force you Laura."

"Well I can't give you the chance to take me to Paris or anywhere, like you did last time." Laura blurts out.

Lucifer sighs. "Ok, I won't."

Laura sighs, she felt exhausted and being choked with boredom. "Ok, we could grab some lemonade and take a stroll to the park."

Lucifer grins. He opens his arms for Laura. Laura scoffs. She clings to him.

Lucifer teleported the both of them to the park, they got a lemonade each and sat on a bench in the park.

Lucifer hated that he had to drink just lemonade, but since Laura felt comfortable with it he was okay with it.

Laura glance at him, she sighs frustratedly; This was worst than she expected, she felt she would feel less stressed up coming out, but all she gets is people stumbling and gazing at them. She saw a group of girls giggling and staring at Lucifer. She felt like ripping their head off.

"Excuse me Sir em Ma. Can uh Can I take a pic of the both of you  please?" Asks a photographer.

Lucifer gaze at Laura, she doesn't feel comfortable at all. This pic could go viral. "Maybe next time."

The man left them disappointed, he really needed to take a pic.

Laura sighs, her body still hurts.

Lucifer stares at her. "I won't let him (Arius) come near you again."

"I'm fine, you should stop worrying about me." Laura snaps.

Lucifer scowls. "Why should I, isn't it appropriate."

"You are the devil, act like it, stop caring for me." Laura blurts out.

"Like you wanna see me act like it." Lucifer teases.

"Ok, I admit I hurt a little. But I don't like anyone being worried about me or seeing me as vulnerable." Laura explains.

"Oh, understood. Like you feel right now." Lucifer said.

Laura scoffs."How?"

Lucifer shrugs. "I don't know."

Laura chuckes, then she wince. "It hurts to smile now."

Lucifer sighs. "I'm gonna kill Arius."

Laura chuckles. "It's okay, I'm fine don't go starting up a fight now."

Lucifer chuckles, he stares at her.  She does care; he loves the smile on her face, and he was angry she hurts, it made his heart churn.

Laura glance at him. "Stop staring at me like that." She was blushing.

Lucifer smirks, his demon side was already growling at him. "I think you need to get back to the hospital."

Laura stares at him. "Yes."

Lucifer teleported them back to the hospital;

"Uh, my mom and George would be here soon. Do you want to meet them?" Laura asks.

Lucifer sighs. " Eventually I will get to meet them. But now is not the time."

"Ok, suit yourself." Laura blurted out.

Lucifer grins at her.

Laura sighs, does everything she does just amuse him?

Lucifer crosses the distance between them; He held her chin, he gaze into her dazzling blue eyes,  he tucks in some misplaced hair behind her ears, he strokes her hair gently. He felt so sensitive to her scent, and it turns him on.

Lucifer kisses Laura passionately; not wanting to let go of her or her sweet lips.

Laura wanted to push him away but she wants to have one more taste of him, she wanted him to hold her like that often. She was already growing wild in his arms.

Laura stares at him when he let's go of her lips. She couldn't believe she just got kissed by the devil.

"Why did you do that?" She whispers.

"I love you Laura; I want to be with you forever. 'I want you to be my mate'." He said dreamingly.

Laura stares at him startled; how was she suppose to do that, her world seem to be spinning too fast. "Lucifer I—."

"Shh." He places his hand on her lips. "I don't just want your soul this time Laura, I want your heart. I want all of you. I need you to be mine; mine alone."

Laura gasps; the devil in love with her, she becoming the devil's mate. When she thought she has had enough of surprises and abnormalities, now Lucifer was in love with her.

Lucifer stares at Laura expectantly, he knew this could be a hard decision to make since whoever one chooses as a mate, he or she is bound to that person for eternity.

Laura pants for more air; she felt her kneels grow weak. She was about stumbling but Lucifer held her and supports her to sit on the chair besides the bed.

Laura stares at him, she could see the glow in his eyes. Lucifer kneels to face her, Laura turns her gaze away from him.

Lucifer sighs. "Look at me Laura."

Laura stares at him, for once she could feel the effects of his eyes. "I don't know, everything is just happening too fast."

Lucifer held her hand and kiss her knuckles. "I will be there for you. I promise."

Laura sweats profusely, she doesn't know what else to say. 'Yes?' She wasn't ready to go into any romantic relationship yet not even with the devil. 'No?' What if she had the same feelings for him, but couldn't just admit it, she doesn't want to hurt him now.

Now more than ever she felt she's got into some big troubles.
