Kehlani was busy bobbing her head to the beat when a question was thrown at her.
" So, Saturn... " Lucifer started, " What's the story behind it. "
Kehlani connected her palms, " Saturn is a song close to my heart. "
" Tell me more, " He noticed how prepared and inquisitive she became, " I'm a fan. "
" Uhm, " Kehlani contemplated if she should tell him the actual story or the usual one she tells people.
" The flows of furnace kissed my being, it is now an addiction, I lay in one with it's heat, burning my soul, a mystical fascination, a thread of connection, I remain in solitude on planet Saturn. " As Lucifer recited lyrics from the song, he caught Kehlani's reaction, she had intertwined so quickly with them.
" What was thought behind that line? " Lucifer asked.
" It's about fire... "
Lucifer knew she was keeping something from him, he was willing to keep pressing.
" Cremation, combustion, soul ignition. Am I melting? am I scorching? it's advisable to not come near me, they cannot tame the flame, they will not change the game. "
" Lucifer__
She called his name in a different tone, trenchant, yet softly.
He wasn't done yet, " Renamed In a distance turn, watch me plunder in distortion, fiercely under inferno's gun, wondrous wonder in planet Saturn. "
" You know the whole damn song. " Kehlani said.
" You want me to use my future telling skills to find out? " Lucifer passed.
" It's more like past telling? you feel me? "
Lucifer laced a long cold stare at her, " Do you like fire? "
" No, "
" Liar, " He took apart his legs and poured himself a drink, " That's a lie. "
Kehlani cooped at him with a vague look, " Why will I like fire? it burns. "
" Yeah, you said it in your song. It seems you relished the feeling. "
" So you think I like to be burnt, physically? "
" So you meant in an emotional way. "
" yes. "
Lucifer bent, poured the lady a drink and gave her a short peer, " Liar. "
Kehlani felt trapped, Lucifer didn't appear as though he would buy any of her lies, the man was an excellent lie detector machine. What he was inquiring wasn't something she wanted to share, or dwell on. The story behind Saturn was so personal to her, even her closest friends had no idea what it meant. Lucifer had extracted the particular lines that possessed deeper meaning to her.
Now, he'd call her out outrightly for lies about not being physically burnt. There was no evading him, she knew it. But no, she wouldn't break, wether or not he knew she's lying. After all, that's all he knew, he didn't know the underlying effect.
{ Lucifer's Pov }
She wasn't going to talk, at least not at that moment. But in that short notice, Lucifer had bounded up a few things. That didn't change the fact that he wanted to hear Saturn's story from her very own lips. That would mean his job with her wasn't done, that would mean she had to stick around him someway for a while. Lucifer was at peace with it, perhaps it was what he wanted truly.
Lucifer took a deep breath, " Kehlani__
she instantly rose to her feet, not waiting for him to conclude his sentence.
" I wanna dance! " She screamed.
