ch. XIV -- Is everything alright?



With tired yawn Kate woke up early. In bedroom?

"How did I get here?" Kate mumbled looking around.

'Wait...'

"This isn't my bedroom." Kate started to panic. Throwing the blankets away, Kate stood in bed on her knees. To her surprise she was dressed in her PJ's.

"WHAT?!" she screamed looking down at her clothes.

"WHO THE FUCK?!" she didn't settle. In that moment Lucifer rushed in the bedroom with something in His hands.

"Is everything alright?" He asked.

"Is everything OKAY?!" Kate yelled at Him.

"What am I doing in YOUR bedroom ONLY in MY PJ's?!" Kate screamed pulling on her lacy top.

"I didn't dress you, if that's what you're asking." Lucifer said raising His hands in mock surrender but letting His eyes look up and down her body.

"Who did?!" Kate said wrapping her hands around herself.

"Maze." Lucifer said, His dark eyes snapping back to hers.

"Sorry." Lucifer cleared His throat and throwed at her piece of fabric, which turned out to be her light satin robe. With small 'thank you' Kate pulled it on and sat back down on bed, since standing on her knees in middle of His bed looked quite... seductive, if you she must say.

"Why am I in your bedroom?" Kate scoffed and pulled her robe more closely around herself.

"Your bed was full with your clothes." Lucifer answered making His way around the bed. Kate assessed His every move and when He sat down at the end of the bed, Kate got up from it.

'Mom is coming.'

Kate remined herself. Making her way to the door, Lucifer's voice stopped her:

"Why don't you wait here for a moment."

"Why?" Kate turned around and looked at the Devil who was now standing behind her.

"I.. I have guests?" Lucifer answered unsurely, which wasn't quite Him, by what Kate had come accustom.

With a raise of eyebrow, as if saying and?, Kate turned back around and went out. Walking down the steps to living room she was met by two gorgeous women half-awake on sofa.

Kate froze in her tracks. Those were the two girls who accompanied Lucifer last night.

"Katherine." Kate heard Lucifer's voice somewhere behind. But she didn't pay attention to it. Her eyes trained on those two girls who seemed not to notice her standing there.

Some part of her wanted to snap at Him and other part wanted to just disappear from the ground she was walking on.

Swallowing the lump that was painfully stuck in her throat, Kate took three steps closer to the other sofa that wasn't occupied by the pretties, and picked up the blanket.

"Katherine." Lucifer called out again, walking down the steps. Kate still didn't answer.

"Kate." Lucifer tried again. That name broke through everything that Kate was thinking right now. With a snap of her head she looked at Lucifer. To be more accurate, past Him.

"I can explain." Lucifer said gesturing at two ladies on sofa, who were slowly waking up from their slumber. Kate let her eyes flicker at the King of Hell and then smiled sweetly at Him. That smile sent shivers down Lucifer's back.

"Whatever it was..." Kate started and wrapped blanket around herself.

"I don't want to know, Lucifer."

"What time is it?" one of the girls groaned from the sofa.


"Get them out..." Kate whispered at Lucifer while in passing hitting His shoulder to walk up to her bedroom. But before she could make her way up the steps, Lucifer grabbed her hand and stopped her.

Kate swiftly turned around, her hair fanning around her. She was boiling with emotions right now, and she felt that really soon everything will go over the top. Her eyes once again darted behind the Devil at the girls now half-sitting on sofa and talking to each other.



~And everybody knows that you're in trouble

Everybody knows what you've been through

From the bloody cross on top of Calvary

To the beach of Malibu

Everybody knows it's coming apart

Take one last look at this Sacred Heart

Before it blows

Everybody knows~



"Get them out, Lucifer." Kate hissed at Him and tried to pull her hand out of His grasp.

"Why are you so angry?" Lucifer didn't hide the fact the He didn't understand her. He used to read her so well. What happened?

"I'm not angry!" Kate answered, her lip trembling.

"Get them out, now!" Kate hissed again, this time it more sounded like a desperate plead.

"There is something else." Lucifer cocked His head to the side and was looking directly at Kate.

"Get them out or I will..." Kate didn't listen and yanked her hand out of His grasp. Quickly skipping down the steps and throwing the blanket down on sofa, Kate took a deep breath and wanted to order girls to take their stuff and leave, so she could get her own stuff together in peace, but Lucifer grabbed her hand and turned her around to face Him once more.

"Ladies, if you excuse us..." Lucifer nodded with His head towards the elevator. Girls only nodded and picking their stuff went away.

"Fucking leave already..." Kate whispered under her nose while looking at the girls leaving. Lucifer looked at her and in stern voice said:

"What are you on about this morning?"

"Nothing, for fucks sake leave me alone for once!" Kate looked away from Him with roll of her eyes.

"Why are you angry?" Lucifer asked again.

"I'm not angry, I already told you!" Kate crossed her hands on her chest.

"Then what are you?" Lucifer furrowed His eyebrows at her. Kate thought for a moment biting on her lips, suppressing a small sniff. Swallowing she let her eyes flicker to His dark chocolaty orbs that were trying to understand why she's acting like this.

"Hurt..." Kate chocked out and took step back from Him when she heard the stupid ding of the elevator.

Lucifer looked broken and lost for a second, but that façade was soon gone when He looked at Maze and Chloe walking in.

Kate brushed away the stray tear that had escaped her and reaching for the blanket once more, quickly made her way to balcony. She needed to get away from Him. He's whole being was addicting.

"Is everything okay?" Chole asked looking from Kate retracting form to Lucifer.

For the first time, as far as Maze and Chloe could remember Lucifer, they saw Him speechless for the first time.

Still looking for words and yet finding none, Lucifer only shook His head in denial.



~Oh, I can see the doubt in those eyes

Even though you try to hide it

There's not much to figure out

'Cause I know why

And I won't try to fight it

And I'll be the first to tell you

You were right~
