chapter 27:

Orion now decided to get their marriage as soon as possible. "2 weeks?" Clara asked in surprise.

"Yes, after 2 weeks. Now you can go and inform Lucifer about this." Orion was ready to leave for his other works.

"Um. Uncle, can I and Lucifer go on a trip before the marriage? I meant just me and Lucifer!" Clara had a spark in her eyes.

Orion turned around and after looking at her puppy like cute eyes, he said "Permission granted. Go whenever and wherever you want." And left the room with his minister.

Clara was super excited. She rushed to Lucifer. "Lucifer, we are going on a trip!" She said.

He took a sip of his wine and asked in a deep voice. "Did father allow it?" His eyes gave a death stare.

"He said we could go," She said, and then whispered loud enough for Lucifer to hear it "Alone!".

Lucifer showed neither excitement nor any emotions.

"Pack your essentials as soon as possible!" And Clara went to her room to pack.

"Why are you so low?" Lucas was sitting in front of Luna.

Luna raised her head and looked in his eyes and said, with surprise, "Me. And low? What made you think that?"

"Your softened amber eyes. Looks like your face will be flooded any minute" Lucas shifted his place beside her. And had a sneak in her book.

"Well... Tha-"

"If you're going to say" He said this and did an awful mimicry of Luna "'Oh! This is because of this sad scene. It is really shattering my soul!'" He then switched his voice to normal and said  "Then I am not going to believe it!"

Luna was speechless. "If you are uncomfortable here, then we can go to your home too". Lucas knew that Luna could be sad because of the preponded wedding of his brother.

"Trust me, everything is going smoothly." 

"It's OK if you don't want to share it. But remember that I am at your side!" Lucas stood up, ready to leave the library. Luna held his hand and said "Thank you", to which Lucas just smiled and left.

Luna closed her book and went to the counter. "I want to purchase it. So how much does it cost?"

The librarian said "You don't need this book. You just need to know yourself, and that's all."

Luna's eyes softened. "Hello?" A sharp voice cut all her thoughts. 

"Y-yes" Luna asked in surprise.

"This book costs £19.22!"

Luna nodded and paid the amount. "Did you say anything before yelling hello?"

"Yes I said 'it costs £19.22'!" That woman said sarcastically. Luna left the library.

'Luna! Get back in your senses! Stop thinking about Lucifer! He is not more than a chapter of your life!'

"What are you thinking about?" Clara asked.

"None of your business!" Lucifer turned his head to the other side.

"Well, it is! Because you are my fiancé!" Clara forcefully turned his head towards her, using her hand.

"I" A slight pause and then he said "Don't like to be touched!" His voice sent shivers down her spine, and his gaze was just enough to kill.

Clara immediately removed her hands from his jaw. "You... Lucifer, I am going to be your wife, and I don't like the way you talk!" She said.

Lucifer totally ignored her. The air host came near them and asked "Sir and Ma'am, do you both want anything? I have coffee-"

"A coffee please-" as Clara was saying, but Lucifer interrupted her. "No we don't." To which Clara smiled and nodded her head.

'God! Why is he this cold-hearted... But I will handle his temper, after all, I am going to be his wife soon!' Clara was a little bit happy. After all that, she was visiting New York and Earth for the first time ever.
