Chapter 22 (Edited)

Lucifer was driving while I was in the passenger seat. We and the guys including Percy were heading to Red Coral. Percy was still in shock from what he saw and I bet at this moment Justin is trying his best not to kill him. I would've put him with Gabe but we all know Gabe would end up killing him by "mistake". As much as I wanted to kill him for his behavior and disrespect, I couldn't since he was the President's son.

Since we have to find the guys who are after Percy, Lucifer will be staying over until this mission is over. I frowned at the idea of him leaving when all this was over. Even though he's a pain in the ass, I'm going to miss him. I also got Jay to help out but he will be dropping in on us every now and then since he has his own place and line of work to fulfill. I offered him a place but he doesn't even want to be around Percy.

"We're here," I heard Lucifer's voice next to me. I snapped out of my daydreaming and looked around to see we were parked in the parking lot. I looked out the window to see some of the guys outside and some heading into the restaurant. "How long have we been parked?" I asked Lucifer. He laid back in his seat with a smile on his face. "About 2 minutes."

My eyes widened. "That long?" He nodded, "You looked deep in thought and I didn't want to be the one to interrupt you. By the way what made you frown?" he asked. I felt my face heat up a little.

"Just the mission," I mumbled, and no that was not a lie.

"Uh-huh," he said, sounding unconvinced. He looked like he was debating whether to ask me questions or not. "Let's just go eat. I'm starving," he smiled while opening the door.

I was about to open my door but it was opened by Lucifer. He had flashed over. "You can't do that in public," I shrieked. He chuckled and pulled me out of the car and shut the door.

"Don't worry. No one saw," he said, smirking. I shook my head and started walking inside.

I made my way up to the hostess while my guys were behind me. "Hello. Welcome to Red Coral. How many seats?" the elderly lady smiled. She was dressed in a black dress with her hair pulled back. Her voice was soft and her smile was sweet.

I gave her a smile, "Hello, and 25 seats please." She shook her head and looked at the pad in front of her. Her smile dropped a little then looked up at me. "Sorry, but we don't have a whole table. It's occupied at the moment. We only have tables for 5 at the moment."

I gave her an assuring smile. "It's okay. We'll take separate tables. We don't mind," I said, causing her to smile again.

"Well go grab your tables and we will send waiters over in 5 minutes and put these on your table," she said, handing me 8 plastic papers with numbers on them. "Put these on your table so the waiters know you're all together and enjoy," she said before turning to the next group of people.

I took a number and passed the rest to the guys. Lucifer and I grabbed our own booth. James, Ethan, Gabe, and Percy sat behind us in another booth. Justin, Lenin, Stan, Hunter, and Victor took a booth. Blake, Mason, Carter, and Alex grabbed a booth behind Lucifer. Taylor, Randy, Austin, Cody, and Zac grabbed a table across from Blake's booth. Kevin, Weston, Chris, Richie, and Felix grabbed a table near Justin's booth. Everyone was spread out and mingled with their own group. I smiled as I saw some of them laugh.

"You really care about them,'' Lucifer said, bringing me to look at him. "Deeply. They're like family to me. We all have been there for each other. We're all each other's got," I explained. He nodded his head as a sign of understanding.

He then studied me for a minute. "What?" I asked curious. "Oh uh, well I want to talk to you about something," he said looking away.

"Sure. What's up?" I asked nervously. Every time someone wants to talk about something and they look away, I assume it's always bad and really serious.

He sighed before turning his attention back to me. "Well I just want to start off by saying I'm -"

"Hello, I'm Deanna and I'll be your waiter for today. Have you figured out what you would like to drink and eat?" a lady in her late twenties smiled. "Yeah. I'll have a glass of water and to eat, I would like to have the Shrimp Alfredo," I replied and watched as she wrote it all down.

"And you sir?" she said looking at Lucifer. I turned to Lucifer who was looking at me. "Sir?" she asked again.

"Uhh he'll have the BBQ Steak with fries and a coke to drink," I said, giving her his order. She looked at me in a questioning way then slowly shook her head before leaving.

I turned to Lucifer who was still staring at me. "Lucifer?" I called but no response. I moved to the side of my seat to see if he would follow but he didn't. It looked as if he was in some sort of trans.

I reached for his hand. I quickly felt a sting on my hand and I quickly pulled my hand away and bit my lip to stop my scream. His skin literally felt like it was on fire. I looked down at my hand to see it was red and the skin was softly burned.

"What happened? I felt someone touch me," Lucifer blurted out. I looked at him in shock. What the fuck just happened?

"Uhh... What were you doing? The lady asked for your order but you didn't reply."

He sighed, "Sorry. I had to do something. I had to mentally go somewhere and do some stuff," he mumbled.

I'm guessing he didn't want to talk about it from his tone so I nodded. "Ohh and I wanted steak with fries and coke to drink," he said changing the subject.

"Yeah. I already told her," I smiled. He raised his eyebrow as in "how-do-you-know". I laughed, "You like steak a lot and your favorite drink is coke. I'm very observant."

"More like being a creep," he teased and I rolled my eyes.

After 5 minutes, our food arrived. We both ate and talked throughout the whole time.

I felt someone sitting next to me and I looked over to see it was Percy. "What do you want?" I sighed. He looked at me in a "shock" way. "Why do I have to want something?" he said with a frown.

Lucifer rolled his eyes, "Because you're you and no one likes you." I couldn't agree with him more. Percy shrugged, "I want to know what Gabe's favorite color is. If I get it right then he'll let me drive on the way back."

"Ohh, why didn't you say so? Don't say I told you but it's pink," I smirked. Percy's eyes widened before laughing. "He- he likes -oh my god that's pathetic. Thanks, Sky," Percy laughed while getting up. "No problem." I watched as he walked back to the booth.

"Are you serious?" Lucifer asked while I kept my eyes on Percy's booth. "Of course not. Look at his reaction," I laughed as Gabe started throwing death stares at me.

I turned my attention to Lucifer who was frowning at something. I followed his gaze which led to my hand. I pulled it away causing him to look at me. "You were the one who touched me?" he asked and I nodded. "It's all good. Don't worry about it," I said, offering a smile.

He got up and slid into the seat next to me. He took my hand in his and I watched as he covered my hand. His left hand was under while his right hand was on top.

"Whatcha doing?" I eyed him but he seemed to focus on my hand. I watched as he slide his thumb across the burn area. My skin then slowly changed back to its normal way. "Done," he smiled while looking at me.

"Thank you," I whispered, a bit shocked as he never really used his powers before. I looked up at him and stared at his eyes. His eyes were somewhat mixed with blue and green. His hair was blonde but had a dark streak in it. His hand was so soft yet his body was like a rock.

"You're so gorgeous," I heard him mumbled. I'm guessing I wasn't supposed to hear that because he cleared his throat. I didn't realize we were close to where my face was 5 inches away from his.

I looked down to see our fingers intertwined. My eyes widened and I pulled away. "Sorry," I mumbled and scooted away from him so we both had personal space. "No I'm sorry," he said with a small smile.

We spent the next few minutes talking until the bill came. I gave my card but Lucifer gave me mines back. He pulled out his black card which had silver stripes and had the same value as the black card. Turns out he does secret stuff and that's all I'm allowed to know for now.

It was night and we all were currently walking out of the restaurant to our cars. I reached the car first and turned back to Lucifer who was far behind. He was talking to James, Ethan, and Gabe. Lucifer was doing more of the talking while they nodded. Lucifer smiled then they walked to their car.

"What was that about?" I asked being a bit nosey.

Lucifer never actually had a decent conversation with the 3 of them... together. "Nothing Princess," he said, holding the door open for me. "Sure," I sarcastically replied while getting in. He chuckled before shutting the door.

He then hopped in the driver's seat and we headed off. Five minutes into the drive, I felt myself falling asleep.
