Chapter 30 (Edited)

We drove for hours in silence. It was now 11 at night and the road was pitch black. I haven't gotten much sleep and was finding it hard for me to stay awake. I looked over to see Lucifer who was passed out in the passenger's seat. I decided it would be a wise thing to crash into a nearby hotel for now. I kept driving and then pulled into a hotel called SpringHill Suites Indianapolis. It was hard looking for a parking spot but I finally found one.

"What are we doing?" Lucifer's voice came out raspy. I looked over at him to see his sleepy eyes.

He looked more tired than me. "Well, we're going to check into a room for now since we're both tired. We're then going to shop light for some clothes and grab food," I informed him and he nodded. I opened the car kit and pulled out a wallet that held a bunch of cash and credit cards.

I stepped out of the car and stretched as Lucifer did the same. We walked up to the entrance and I was greeted by cold air. I shivered a little as I continued walking up to the front desk. The lobby had some people but it was still quiet.

"Hello. Welcome to SpringHill. How may I help you?" the man in his late 20s gave a small smile.

"Hi. I would like 2 rooms," I replied with a forceful smile. I honestly wanted to drop on the floor and sleep. He nodded and typed some stuff on the computer screen. "Uhh we only have one room left but it has 2 beds," he said with an eyebrow raised.

"Good enough for me. Can we have it for 24 hours please," I asked and he nodded before typing more stuff in.

"We're staying here for a day?" Lucifer's sleepy voice asked. I shook my head. "Just in case anything happens like if I want to sleep more," I mumbled.

"That will be $385. How are you paying Ma'am," the guy asked. I pulled out the black card from the wallet and passed it to him.

"Credit," I said as he took the card. He swiped the card and I typed in my pin. He then handed back my card along with a bill and two key bracelets.

"Enjoy your stay," he smiled, which I gave in return. We headed back to the car and I heard a scoff from Lucifer as we exited the building.

"What?" I asked as we got in the car. Lucifer shut his door and looked at me. "Didn't you see the way he was looking at you?"

I shook my head. "I was too tired to care and I don't even remember what the guy looked like," I stated while starting the car and giving him his bracelet.

Lucifer mumbled something that I was not able to hear which got me mad a little. We drove to a nearby mall that was still opened and parked. I got out and headed inside not waiting for Lucifer. I looked around and saw people were still shopping and the place was loud.

I turned to Lucifer and handed him a credit card but he just walked away. "I could pay for my own shit," he growled under his breath.

I mentally wanted to punch him but that could lead to my death. I walked around and found a GAP store. I ran in and grabbed 2 leggings, 2 hoodies, 3 shirts, 3 pairs of bra and underwear along with 2 pairs of shorts and some socks. I ran over to the sleeping wear side and picked up a cute kitten shirt that went with some comfy pair of shorts. I made my way to the cashier and paid for my stuff. I finished shopping for my clothes in less than 15 minutes.

I was starving so I decided to grab some food that was in the mall. I found a Taco Bell place and placed an order. I got 2 tacos with bottled water and some cinnamon twists. I ate my food and decided to text Lucifer asking if he wanted Taco Bell. As much of an asshole he was, I'm still trying to be the good one here.

Me:

There's a Taco Bell. Want

me to grab u anything?

A few minutes went by and then my phone buzzed.

Lucifer:

3 spicy tacos with Cinnabon

Delights and coke

After I finished eating, I went to order Lucifer's food. Once finished, I headed out but then remembered I needed essentials like lotion and perfume. I looked around the store but didn't know where to go. This mall wasn't exactly your typical mall. It was open 24 hours.

"Lost Ma'am?" a voice came behind me. I turned to see a mall cop who had a smile on his face. "Yes, I am. Can you please tell me where I can find essentials like lotion and stuff?" I asked with a tired smile.

"Sure thing. Just go take the elevator up to the fourth floor and you'll see a store called H.N."

I looked at him confused. "H.N?"

He let out a laugh and nodded. "Since there are a lot of hotels around here, they made a store called H.N which stands for Hotel Needs. You're not from around here, are you?" he asked.

"That obvious, huh?" I laughed then he joined in. "Well thanks for your help, Sir."

"No problem," he smiled before walking away.

I made my way toward the elevator and pressed the button for the fourth floor. On each floor, it stopped while some people got on and some got off. I finally reached my floor and dragged my tired body into the store. I quickly grabbed some lotion, deodorant, and perfume then cashed for it.

"Check out the H.N bar to the right when you're done. It's a new addition," the lady spoke in a monotone while pointing to a closed door. I wasn't sure if she was dead or alive, to be honest. "Who came up with that idea?" I asked amused.

"My boss. Trust me when I tell you, I had the same reaction you had. Every customer that goes in there gives me a hirer pay," she mumbled in a tired voice. "Bosses suck," I sighed and she nodded. "Amen to that sister. Anyways, thanks for shopping," she smiled.

I shoved the bag in the GAP bag and turned to the now-opened bar doors. The place was dark but had flashing lights like blue and red going across the room. The music wasn't too wild. I looked around in shock. The place had strippers along with pole dancers. All this in a mall. What the fuck?!

I was shocked until my eyes landed on someone. Lucifer was in here. I mean I would be okay with that but it was what he was doing. His lips were locked to some chick whose dress was very revealing. I stood there like an idiot and watched as they got more intense with every kiss until his eyes met mine. He stopped kissing her and I turned to leave. I heard him calling my name but I just kept walking. I felt tears welled up in my eyes but I was not going to let myself go there. I used my powers to close the door behind me, locking him inside.

I ran to catch the elevator and took it all the way down then ran to the car. I popped the trunk and threw my bags in. I turned around only to be pinned against the car by this asshole.

"Sky please -" he begged but I cut him off by pushing him aside. I got in the car and started the engine. I locked the doors so he couldn't get in but he still managed to flash in. I pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive back to the hotel.

"Sky I'm sorry. I -"

"Just shut up," my voice cracked.

I was mad and somewhat jealous. I honestly couldn't believe I fell for some asshole like him. He makes Percy seem less of an asshole which is just sad.

"You're crying," Lucifer's soft voice came out as he touched my cheek. I moved my face away from his hand and wiped my tears with the back of my hand. "Sky -"

"Seriously, shut up," I growled.

We finally made it back to the hotel and I never got out of the car so fast. I grabbed the Taco bag and threw it at him. Sadly he caught it. I should have aimed it closer to the ground. I grabbed my bags and walked inside not bothering to wait for Lucifer. I checked my bracelet to see room 208.

I walked towards the elevator and got in. I clicked the 2nd-floor button and saw Lucifer walking through the entrance door. He saw me and I gave a little smirk. I pushed the close door button and watched as he tried to reach the elevator before it closed but it was too late. Thank God for the person who created this button.

Once the door opened I walked down to the room and opened the door. I didn't care about examining the room as to how nice it was. I just wanted to shower and sleep. I grabbed my sleeping clothes along with a pair of underwear and a bra and went into the bathroom. I closed the door and turned on the shower. I hopped in and started to rinse my hair.

I honestly wanted to stop thinking. I didn't want to think about the mission or about what just happened. I've been thinking about everyone else more than myself. I shouldn't even be liking Lucifer. He's the Devil for crying out loud. It's not like he's loyal or anything.

I finished my shower and dried myself off before rubbing lotion and then slipping into my PJs. I towel-dried my hair and opened the bathroom door. Lucifer was shirtless as he ate his Cinnabon Delights. As he turned my way, I shifted my gaze towards my bed and moved all the bags from it to the ground. I pulled the covers and tucked myself in and covered my face slightly with a pillow. I was so tired I passed out immediately.
