There is something particularly interesting and exciting about the feeling of being kissed. With Lucifer and I sharing our first, last night, it was impossibly hard to keep my mind focus and off it. The feel of his lips on mine, how sweet they are to taste and have them finally on me. I have had fantasies, to how I'd have my first kiss, and those expectations were passed when Lucifer's lips touched mine.

I couldn't help but bite a finger nail, unconsciously thinking back to the night, neglecting the fact I had eggs on a frying pan which were burning. " Shit. Shit."

I mumbled, fanning the smoke, rushing and the noise of Ana and Trixie behind me laughing at how I almost set the house on fire.

Luka came in, lightly barking hearing the girls giggling, his tail standing up and wagging. He's gotten more talkative since he was a puppy, he has grown to half of his full mature height. His intuitive brown eyes were sparkling, panting as his tongue lopsidedly came out. I leaned down, itching behind his fluffy ears, giggling myself.

" Mommy came home real late last night, Tee-Tee. She thinks she knows, that I don't know, that she was with daddy! She had such a big smile! She likes to smile like that when she is around daddy. It is pretty!"

Ana told Trixie, feeding an egg piece to Luka secretively, with the biggest smile she could muster.

" I think I can say it's a job well done that I finally got my daddy and mommy to be happy! So did Aidan and Amy too!"

Trixie, unaware of the truth behind Anastasia's statement of me being Ana's mom, gasped out-loud real quick. " You saw Lucifer?! Betsy, you promised you would take me to see him too!"

I feel a slight sense of shame, I did say I would have taken Trixie to see Lucifer but my plans of going were last minute. Besides, I don't like to think it would be appropriate for her to see her sister making out.

" That is okay, I forgive you, sissy! I can't say mad at you. You can give me this, as a way to say sorry!"

Trixie pulls out a 'toast sugar bites' cereal box. I tisked, of course there would be an unhealthier alternative in the cupboard Maze placed there.

I wasn't going to be one of those moms who'll dictate and tell her kids on what to watch and eat. What I didn't need is a seven years old girl, two of them at the fact, who will run around high on a sugar rush then later on crash down. I lightly shook my head.

" Did you get this from maze? I swear, one of these days, your aunt maze will give you so much sugary things you'll get sick from all of it being eaten at once!" I jokingly said to the two girls, pouring the crunchy balls of sweetness in seperate bowls. Trixie lights up, Ana copying how Trixie got her small spoon to get ready to eat the breakfast meal. I poured the milk over the frostie bites.

" Annie said you were Lucifer, but why did you see Lucifer? Betsy?"

After I did their breakfast, I poured my milk in the steaming cup of coffee I had waiting on me to have. " Well, trix. Lucifer and I.. well we had dinner. That was all."

I bite down on my cheek flesh inside of my mouth. Flashbacks of kissing him coming to mind. " A nice dinner. He just.. wanted to say thank you, for helping him win a case." I semi-told the truth. It wasn't a full lie.

" why do you ask?"

I came around to sit imbetween the girls, Luka had playfully nipped my heels as he is sat watching Trixie waiting on food to drop.

" So a date? Did you have candles, flowers, and play songs about naked stuff and such?" Trixie, innocently, asked her spoon clangs on the rim of her bowl. My coffee sprouts out of my nose.

I hadn't expected her to say that. I, especially, didn't know she would ask if I listened to songs about sex. ' Oh my gosh.' She laughed, loudly at my reaction to her question. Ana did too.

" trixie!"

I scowled, grumbling how I'd need to change my shirt before going to work.

" I.. yes, yes you can say it was.. a date. It was a nice... it was a nice date."

I said, bashfully, begging that my cheeks wouldn't flush but I had made them red just by thinking of Lucifer. Trixie, and Ana, spurted out their laughter touching my cheeks.

This weeks newspaper is slammed down, the culprit being maze who is trying hard not to laugh at the fact I am bright red at my expense, pointed at an article about Los Angeles's water drought.

" I didn't take you to be concerned of the drought that is going on, Maze. Didn't you, just last week, use a week's worth of hot water? 'Cause you said the heat reminds you of hell?" I snorted, as she ripped the paper from me and mumbled it was the wrong page.

My face fell reading 'PERRY SMITH FOUND DEAD IN SUSPECTED MOB HIT'. I should be rejoicing he is dead, now. But the coincidence's of it all made me think this was Planned. Maze put her hands on my shoulders, rubbing them. " Someone got his ass, Liz. You don't ever gotta worry 'bout that sack of evil no longer." I take a deep breath in, casting a look at Mazikeen and I could feel a sinking feeling settle inside of my bones.

" Trix, could you take ana to get ready? Nate is coming over in ten minutes."

Aidan, and Amy, were out somewhere which they didn't specify but I didn't question their motives as I trusted both of the two. Though they did mention how they wanted to visit their father. That worried me.

" .. uncle Dan is gonna be here too in an hour for you." Trixie nodded, taking Ana by a hand, I watch her run off to Ana's bedroom.

" This is the first I've heard of Perry dying. You are the first person I didn't expect to see give a damn about one guy. Let alone the killer of my granddad." I say, my mouth ajar when I stared in mazes eyes. She did it. " You killed him. Did you?"

She tried to make it seem liked I made a terrible accusation, scoffing crossing her arms. The longer I looked at her the less she dropped her arms. " How did you do it?"

" Damn, Decker. Who knew having the Angel shit you do, now, made you more sharper than you were before." She shook her head, sighing. " Yes, yes I did. Aren't you happy? I killed him? He got what he deserved, Liz. I did it for you."

" That doesn't answer the question, Maze."

She huffed, her crimson lipstick covered lips a bit pouty. The mischievous glint in her eyes is more pronounced the longer she stared at me.

" I don't want to go into details, of how it went down. Just know that I had help from contacts who owed me a favour." That sounds totally legal to me. I think, gliding a hand over a place on my face. " I bet it hurt. A lot. How they did it. I kinda wish I was there to see it happen."

If I was my aunt, I'd have arrested maze for the admission of murder. But I wasn't my aunt, in fact I was relieved maze did it. I couldn't admit that out-loud. Maze put a confiding on top of my right arm. " While I'm around, Liz. There is nothing or no-one that will hurt you, again." It made a smile creep on my face hearing maze's words. She faked a repulsed shudder. " All this sappy bull crap is making me want to hurl."

" Totally believe you, maze. I totally believe it."

~•~

Night fell over Los Angeles, and the night life of the whole city continued to sprout different ways to keep me on my toes.

Crime never stops and that is what makes the job less enjoyable, I knew signing up for the force wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows. It revealed each new fear I didn't have before. Which is nothing I imagined I would feel entering this world. An experience I could grow desensitised too.

I slide out of my police vehicle, I had driven to the scene of the crime alone, and was met with Lucifer with his hand out.

" Ellie, darling. I had the pleasure of those little hellions, visiting me. They came around to Lux, wanting to Chat. If you tell me, Darling, I'm starting to believe the whole Them being our children."

Lucifer said, as he gathered my hand in his. The lights of an on-site ambulance blinded my view, and he got in my line of view.

" Amelia was acting off the entire visit. And the lad, Aidan, seemed real on the edge about how our little dinner date went last night. Which is mind boggling to hear, how the little shi- I, uh, mean man Knew 'bout our time together. But I then remembered, of bloody course he would."

I did notice Amelia, Aidan and Anastasia were being secretive. Ana had been too quiet, which I didn't think much of but now all of their little strange out-of-character traits, are making an impression there is something they are hiding.

" I told those two that our little date went real well. And it was like they were told a piece of information they already knew. Then I was left bloody baffled when the two of them ran off."

" Yeah, they were acting unusual this morning. I did ask what was the matter, if everything is okay with them, but they just said they were all fine. I don't believe it, for a second." I sighed, I didn't like how my kids felt they couldn't tell me if they're fine or not. " I just wish they'd tell me, you know. I'm their mom." I said, sadly. " I want them to be comfortable coming to me."

I ducked under the yellow 'police tape', which he moved away from me, and feel Lucifer halt his walking.

He moved forward, I melted at his action of the kiss he gave me all of a sudden. It startled me when I realised we are in public. he had kissed me out in the open and the officer's eyes, who's on watch for the crime scene, us as Lucifer pulled back and she smiled at the sight.

" What was that for?" I asked, as he still had an eye on my lips. I tried to not giggle at his little smile he had. " I enjoyed it but I figured that a kiss, after last night, would have to be waited to come on the next date. People might have a reason to believe we are a couple." I teased, the thought of Lucifer settling down sounded nice to me too. I had to think of the realistic reality. I don't think he is the type to stay committed.

" I couldn't wait. Besides, I am not ashamed to be seen kissing you, darling." I hushed him as we got deeper into the dimly lit industrial site tunnel. The blanket is uncovered and a girl who's wearing a flight attendant uniform is shown. I hear a gasp come out of Lucifer.

" Oh, no. Not jana, oh bloody hell."

Who is she to Lucifer? I take a guess and I hoped to be wrong about the idea she is one of the women he hooks up with.

Well, was hooking up with.

" It doesn't seem like a mugging."

I noted, as I plucked her accessorised purse up.

" she still has all of her identification on her person. No robber would leave that all behind. Cash, all of her credit cards, car keys. Everything is here. I need you to find anything, that the perp might have left behind that can help."

I informed one of the investigator officers, passing the purse I was holding to him. It would be bagged.

I hated when I found bodies of women. They're discarded, and left to be desecrated by a sick person, a majority of the case. I can't imagine a more sicker reason. I could, I just didn't want an image seared into my brain.

" I am sorry, 'bout Jana, Lucifer. She didn't deserve that."

I say, rubbing my hand down my shoulder, and he dismissively waved me off, like he didn't see her dying as a big deal. Which is a big, fat, lie.

" I would hardly call myself her friend, darling. I don't deserve that title." He huffed. He looks disturbed which is a reasonable response. " I last saw her, An hour, after you came around. She had tried to get me to do a little fun time, BUT I turned her down, darling." He rushed to make a point, and I popped my hip out placing a hand on top of it. " You have to believe me."

" I believe you. But Lucifer, you were the last one to see her. That will raise a lot of questions if someone else were to have been told that." I pointed out, already seeing the raised alarms if Lucifer were to casually mention Jana and him were last seen together. I don't know why I feel happy Lucifer rejected Jana, she is dead a few feet from me, I shouldn't feel those emotions.

" Can any other person attest to your story?"

" Well, I was with you for the first half. Then I was with three hundred of my closest strangers in Lux. I went right to the bar after she left."

He answered.

I nodded, getting out my police assigned note bad, writing little jotted points of interest.

" Wait... is that.. are you jealous? Is that why you all of a sudden got quiet after the fact I told you who Jana was, to me? You don't need to be jealous, darling. I barely knew her."

I shook my head, almost instantly. I wasn't the jealous kind of girl. That was another lie.

" it doesn't matter what my personal feelings, or thoughts, are Luc. This is about Jana. Now I need more information about who she is and I don't mean anything explicitly sexual, Lucifer."

I waited, for Lucifer to start talking, while I see my aunt and uncle road in on their respective squad cars. " I need her last name, and if she's a local here and where she is staying. Friends?"

" I'm a lover. Not a Rolodex." Lucifer answered and I deadpanned. ' Not a Rolodex, he says.'

In response, I face palm using my leather cover of the note-pad I had. This day is becoming more and more increasingly frustrating.

An officer called me over, handing a phone and giving it to me. It belongs to Jana. It was full of threatening message's, going back hours until the lead up to Jana's death. I scrolled the texts.

" Oh, boy. Seems like this got more serious."

JASMINE SPEAKS;

Another chapter, yay! I'm sorry I made you guys wait. I was way focused on finishing up a book of mine 'Wreak havoc', and I did sorta get half of it complete. I did the first suicide squad movie which I am proud of.

Anyway! This chapter will have a second part obviously. The changes mean I will have to alter dialogue and scene however I am still going to stay to the canon storyline/episodes.

How did you like this chapter? Personally I like the changes I am making. I love Ellie and Luc. They are my favourite couple I've written for.

What did we think of maze admitting that to Ellie? And she is with her?

I wonder why the kids are starting to act off? We will see in the coming chapter why.
