The night before...
Rosetta did end up going on that date her sister set up for her. Roger helped her heal her face and her makeup was done by Roberta. "If you don't like him, then come back home, There are a lot of single men who would like to go out on a date with you."
Her date came to pick her up at Roberta's house when the doorbell rang, She was in the middle of wearing a pair of shoes she had borrowed from Roberta.
While Roberta went to answer the door, she turned to the pink-haired siblings in panic. "How do I look?" she asked.
"You look very beautiful," Roger compliments her almost immediately and Rosemarie nods in response.
Rosetta touched her heart and smiled. "Aw, thanks, you guys," she said.
"Rosetta!" Roberta called her name and she hurried out of the room she was in and ran to the door.
Roberta opened the door and saw an old classmate of hers. A tall, slim man, average-looking man, with light brown hair and brown eyes, was holding a bouquet. "Rosetra!" the man said looking at her in surprise while blushing.
"Mark!" Roberta replies, happily, and secretly relieved. At least he's someone she knows. She walks to the door and hugs him patting his back in the process.
"You two know each other?" Roberta asks pointing at the both of them.
"Psh, yeah," Rosetta said brushing it off. "So you are my date tonight," she said.
"Yes," Mark replies nervously then hands her the flowers.
"Thanks," Rosetta said, then she handed the flowers to Roberta. "Shall we?"
"So how have you been?" Mark asked when they got to his car and the car began driving to their destination.
"Great, great," Rosetta replies.
Mark nodded and the atmosphere around them was a bit awkward. "I learned from your sister that you guys were in the mall when the terrorists attacked. It's a good thing His Highness got there in time to stop the attack, right?"
Rosetta laughs a bit. "Yeah," she said, feeling a bit nervous. "So... Uh... How do you know my sister?"
"I know her brother-in-law," Mark replies. "He is my partner at work."
"Oh," Rosetta said. She had no idea who Mark was talking about, but she played along with it. "So why did he set you up on a blind date with me?"
"Brian was worried that I was spending too much time at work because I was lonely and single so he called his sister-in-law, who is your sister, and asked if you were still single and in need of a date."
Rosetta nodded understanding this. She doesn't know who this Brian is, but he sounds like a good person and a d*** at the same time."So what do you do?" he asked her.
Rosetta snaps out of her thoughts. "Oh, I'm a private chef."
"Wow, you are really living your dream life, aren't you?"
Rosetta smiled softly thinking of her current life. "Yeah."
Now...
Long story short, they both enjoyed their date that night and decided to hang out again to catch up.
Lucifer is watching them with caution in case Mark makes a move on her.
He sees Rosetta laughing and Augustus says, "It looks like she's having a great time."
Lucifer couldn't even disagree with that. "Isn't she one of your people?" Xavier asked.
August's nodded. "I gave her some time off because of the stress from yesterday."
Lucifer began to eat his food. "Wow this tastes amazing," he said, as he continued to eat.
"You like it?" Augustus asked, his gaze turning from Rosetta to his fiance. Lucifer nodded as he continued to stuff himself, Although his table manners were a bit lacking he was able to finish his meal before everyone else.
Once he was done, he continued to look at Rosetta's direction even more intensely. They are holding hands! This is a form of romance!
He feels so stressed right now. He doesn't know what is worse, Rosetta being publicly courted by a pathetic-looking man or the fact that he's not being more dramatic about this.
The man said something to Rosetta and she looked over their way. She waved to Lucifer and he responded to her wave.
He signed out, 'Can I come over?' with pleading eyes.
She responded with no and Lucifer dramatically leaned against Augustus. "I am being tossed aside like a worn-out wine sack," he said.
"Who's that with the His Highness?" Mark asked Rosetta when Lucifer was being dramatic.
"My employer's fiance," she gave Lucifer one more glance before turning to Mark and laughing a bit. "He's being overdramatic because I told him he could not come over here."
"He seems overprotective of you," Mark said.
Rosetta laughs. "I don't think so. We can go and greet him if you want."
Lucifer saw Rosetta and Mark coming towards their table. "Your Highness," Rosetta greets Augustus first before proceeding to greet him and the others on the table.
"Nice to see you are doing well, Ms. Rosetta," Augustus said, while Lucifer proceeded to observe the Mark.
"Who's this? " Lucifer asked.
Rosetta grabs Mark by the arm. "This is an old friend of mine," she said.
A rock of realization hits Lucifer hard. "Friend?" he asked before relaxing. So she isn't planning I accepting his courtship. "He seems nice," he said, the stress he was feeling before had faded.
Augustus nodded him. "You are very dramatic," he said and Rosetta blinked in confusion at what was going on.
