Chapter 16

I opened my tired eyes, gladly not being flashed by the sun since it was about 3 in the morning

Eros slept on the other end of the couch, opposite of where I was at.

I feel like someone or something is watching me but I'm too scared to look. What if it's a killer or a big scary monster? Then what! I'm gonna die if I do or don't look back...I'm not a big fan of the dark really,  if you couldn't tell.

I slowly and cautiously turn my head back to see what was causing the feeling that caused a shiver to run up my spine.

I watched his eyes glow when I looked into them.

A deep, yet bright blood-red eyes. His smile showing off his sharp fangs. His arms crossed over his chest. His suit hugging his muscles. His large, dark red wings folded against his back and his tail swaying around the side of his leg.

"H-hi" I mutter, trying not to wake up Eros

"My darling" He greeted

"What are you doing here?" I ask

"Can't I see the future queen to my kingdom?" He retorts

"I mean...you don't know that I won't forgive him?" It came out more than a question rather than a statement.

"Hmm" He hums in response

"Hey, some people call you Lucifer, right?" I ask

"Yes dear, they certainly do," He says

"Can I call you Luci?" I ask, embarrassed as soon as I ask that.

"My queen can call me whatever she pleases" He smirks devilishly.

"Cor?" Eros' groggily voice spoke up from behind me, "What are you doing?"

"Talking with Luci," I say naturally

"Luci, seriously? King Lucifer, you're letting her call you Luci but not me? And I thought I was you it favorite" Eros puts his hand to his chest.

"You are entrusted with guarding my fiance" Luci chuckles again

"Yeah but still..." Eros playfully whines

"How do you like Eros, my darling," Luci asks

"I absolutely adore him! He's my best friend" I smile at Eros and he smiles back. Lucifer suddenly appeared right in front of me and uses his long, clawed fingers to hold my chin up to him

"That's good, darling, but don't forget your fiance," He said

"I still didn't choose" I whisper

"But you will, I know it" He pushes some strands of hair behind my ear. His movements were cut short when the door to Jay's room opened.

"Looks like we have to cut this short" He tsks, "I'll see you soon baby," He says as he leans in, his lips connecting with mine. Seconds passed before he pulled away. Smoke rose from the ground and surround Lucifer, then he was gone.

"Cordelia?" Jay's voice rang out from the corner

"Y-yeah?" I mutter

"We're you talking to someone?" He asks

"Only Eros, nothing to worry about"

"Uh...okay" He nodded and walked back to his room.
