38. This Man Damn

"I'm not afraid of becoming my father. I'm old enough to know that sometimes relationships doesn't work out. At first I was upset with him, but not anymore. It's just what it is. I was just surprised that you knew about it. I thought that was never going to resurfaced" I just keep looking at him. I didn't think he'd be the first to start this conversation.

"Not that I wouldn't have told you, but when I'm ready" Did I just heard right? He looks at me for a few seconds as if he doesn't recognize his own words.

I don't know what to say.

"It just brought back a few bad memories, but I'm alright. Their marriage was an arranged one so he never really loved her. Financially we were alright he made sure of that, but it didn't hurt any less growing up without him"

Miss Leona didn't mentioned the marriage arrangement part. I guess there's always 2 sides to a story.

I'm really surprised that he would call me here to just explain himself. He makes me feel as if I am important to him.

"I'm sorry for walking out on you" How long is it going to take me to get used to him being so open and apologetic?

I'm starting to think that it's not right to keep seeing someone the same way that you've encountered them the first time. People can evolve...and I think he is evolving.

"I-It's ok" He cracks a small smile, but it quickly disappears. I know I've said it before, but his smile is angelic. I can see that he's still not comfortable because he stops smiling. Gosh he needs to just loosen up.

I just want to know something.

"Did he not keep in touch with you specifically?"

"Barely. It doesn't matter now though. He's alright and I'm well alright" It's very good to hear that he's moved on from all that. I hear sincerity in his voice too.

"I wasn't trying to say you're going to become him. I only wanted to know if you were afraid of doing the same thing he did. I'm sorry too" What I just said probably doesn't make sense.

"You mean jealous" I look at him a little shock.

"What? No" I thought he was going to say something else. Seriously?

"You don't need to explain things to me for me to know" I lean back on the chair putting on a brave face.

But why would he rub the fact that he was with another woman in my face. Is that what he wants me to think? Does he like it when I get jealous?

Did he actually slept with her? But of course I'm not going to just ask him that.

When I think about it, I'm not the only jealous one here. When Harrison came the other day he blurted out that we needed to go home.

Of course...

...He was jealous. He wanted Harrison to think that we were together so he wouldn't pursue me.

It could probably be the reason why he slept with me. I'm almost sure I mentioned Harrison's name that night. He probably wanted to have me before him, or before any other man.

I've never seen him smile with anyone, not even his associates, it's either nods or his words, but never the smile. Maybe I've seen a smirk, but I don't recall seeing a genuine smile, like the ones he shoots at me.

"I guess I can now read you too" I smile. He cocks an eyebrow.

"Meaning?"

"Oh nothing" I get serious remembering something.

"Harrison knew it was me who started that whole thing at the party" His expression changes to a serious one.

"I know. I already spoke to him"

"Oh. So he'll keep quiet?" He nods.

Oh.

He straighten himself and his seriousness gets worst.

"As for your brother. I only wanted to give him the chance to tell you himself" Yes this topic.

"Well he didn't, Tina did. And she told me the same thing you just did" This is just stupid.

"When I found out someone is after not just me but my entire family, the first thing I did was to let them know. Keeping it to myself only would've made things worst. One of them or all would've probably been dead right now if I hadn't said anything..." I sigh.

"...So the real reason you brought me to your home wasn't really to help me control my powers, but to get me away from my selfish brother. I still cannot believe he did this to me. I've been trying to call him, but he wouldn't pick up. What if getting my memories back can help me figure out who the person after us is?" Can he even give it back? What if he can't?

"I just thought it wasn't my place to be the first to tell you. Protecting you from him is my way of helping you, also giving him enough time to come forward without causing more harm to you" He should've just told me. It wouldn't have mattered who first.

"I've also made it my priority to help you control your powers if it came to that, and I did" I look away from him. That's true.

"I asked my doctor Marcus for help, and he did some tests on your brain and based on the results, it's possible that the memory issues you're having causes your personalities to split"

"Doctor Lewis?" I look at him. He nods. Honestly I don't feel unusual anymore. I used to feel afraid of her but not anymore. I don't think she's ever coming back.

So what my brother did to me could've caused me to kill someone. It scares me to think that I already did.

"Ok" I say.

"I..." What do you want to say? Don't shut off just say it.

"I couldn't just walk up to you and tell you that I wanted to protect you from your brother...the moment I found out what he did, I started finding a way to get you away from him. We..." Please continue.

"We didn't start off all peaches and pies remember" He softly says.

"Plus you hate my guts so you wouldn't have been approachable" Hated your guts Lucifer. The right word is 'hated'

"Why are you opening up to me like this? You were never this open" I finally asks. He looks away for about 2 seconds then looks back at me.

"I've been asking myself that quite a lot lately" He keeps gazing at me and it makes me feel a type of way.

Like horny.

It's too silent.

"Was he the one who erased everyone's memories so they wouldn't remember what happened?" I break us from the gazing silence.

He nods.

I sigh.

"Your phone was also broken. I had it replaced and your friend added your email address to back up your contacts and other things" At one point I knew it looked a bit different. I'm not going to even ask how it happened. I'm saving myself from more perplexity.

"Is there anything else I need to know?" He looks away then back at me.

"I've been doing some thinking..." Some thinking?

"...about what you said yesterday. I do think about those things once in a while. Since yesterday that's all I have been thinking about. Did you develop some other powers I should know about? Like one that makes people constantly think about something you've told them" I laugh. I just cannot hold it.

A smile form on his lips.

"I'm just kidding" Did he just made a joke? I cannot believe this.

"If you want to have a family why did you take that pill?" What? He cannot be serious. He has to be joking.

"Is that another joke?"

"Yes, but I don't think that one was actually funny" I shake my head looking away. I remember the sex again. I will never get that out of my head will I?

He looks a little embarrass.

Change the subject.

Change the subject.

Speaking of powers.

"I remember..." Curiosity forms on his face.

"You turned the music on in your car the other night..." The other night. It's the second time this came up since then.

"So you have powers similar to mine?" Someone knocks on the door and he looks at it.

"Answer me first" He looks back at me.

"Please" I add.

"Yes, but I'm more advanced" More advanced?

I get up.

"Thank you for telling me this" The person lightly knocks again.

He nod as if he know I want to say we'll talk later.

I walk off.

"Come in" He sounds annoyed. I know it's because of the constant knocking.

I get in my office and close my door.

Lucifer Morningstar likes me. He basically admitted it.

It feels weird knowing that he took my virginity. That's wasn't really how I imagined my first time, and I never imagined it would be with him.

I am still curious about the club. He's not the crowd type of person. Did he went there specifically to meet her?

That woman I heard...

...just stop thinking about it Christina. It's none of your business.

Lucifer opened up to me. I know how he struggled to even say what was on his mind. How did he find the courage to open up to me.

Well he's an adult and very intelligent. I'm sure he know what it means to open up to someone.

I just never thought it'd be me.
