I frown.

"Are you following me Harrison!?"

"Of course not! Imagine my surprise when I saw you here!" This is crazy, I see this man everywhere. I cannot help but to wonder if he's following me.

I can see curiosity on his face.

"Well what are you doing here looking like that!?" He laughs.

"I can say the same about you!" He responds. He looks at me from head to toe smirking. I must admit, he's really cute.

Both of us are in the same clothes we saw each other in earlier, so he definitely knows that this is my working clothes.

"I heard from my sources that this place is on sale, so I came here to check it out! I wanted to see if it's to my liking!" He doesn't know that it's already sold? His sources are sloppy. He frown after seeing my expression.

"What is it!?" He asks, scrutinizing my face.

"Is it to your liking!?" Please say no.

"No!" He laughs again. Thank God.

"Kidding! Of course it is! I'm expanding my investments! I'm going to check the owner and have a chat, because I heard there's a meeting here tonight, so we'll have a chat after that!" Damn it.

Oh, so that's why Lucifer is here tonight. He could've just said so. Everything just has to be vague with him.

"I'm sorry Harrison...Lucifer already bought it!" All the smile drop from his face. I can see that he's now a little upset. He's also quiet too.

How long was this place on sale for? Was it only 2 days ago?

He looks away shaking his head. I kinda feel sorry for him. He's not even trying to hide the way he's feeling. It's like he's the total opposite of Lucifer.

Let me break the tension.

"Do you know how long this place was on sale for!?" He looks back at me and nod.

"Three days!" He responds and put on a small smile. So Lucifer bought it a day after it went on sale. He really wasted no time.

"I'm sorry!" I see him exhale and shut his eyes for a short moment.

"Are you really living with him!?" He open his eyes and ask. I nod.

"It's just for a while though, until some stuff are sorted out!" He nod in understanding. Somehow I can sense that he's uncomfortable with me living with Lucifer. He should really lay off that though. I'm not going to talk about it with him.

He shove his hands into his pockets. Is this a thing for men in suits or what?

"I was calling you but you didn't respond!" Oh. He's the one. I can see curiosity. I notice too that his mood isn't as bright as when he arrived beside me. I guess he really wanted this place.

"I wasn't sure who it was so that's why!"

"I thought you were expecting my call! No worries it's alright. It's your phone so you have the right to answer who you want to!" I thought I told him no promises. I guess that jumped out of his head.

"It's not like that! I!-"

"I have a question for you...Are you and Lucifer in some sort of relationship!? I just don't see why you need to live with him!" I gulp some of the vodka. That's really not his business.

"Why does it matter so much to you!? Besides, the first time I saw you guys I thought you were friends! What happened?" I want to change the subject about me living with Lucifer.

He hadn't said anything about my powers yet.

"Associates not friends!" Of course.

He steps closer. Isn't he going to ask me anything about my powers? isn't he curious at all about that?

"I like you a lot and I just want to know you better!" He stretch his hand out.

"Please dance with me!" I gulp the rest of my rum, walk closer to the bar and put the glass on the table.

"One more please!" I watch him pour it and take it from him. This time the man that offered to pay for my drinks isn't there and the next one is talking to a lady on the seat next to him.

Someone put money on the table right before me.

"I'll pay for that!" This man.

"I know that you are well able to pay for it yourself, but just let me do this. It's the least I can do" He whispers deeply in my ears. The man breath smells nice. His voice at my ears just now sounds so frigging sexy.

"Fine! Pay for it, but I'm not dancing! Besides where will I leave my bag!?" He sits on the next seat beside me. I rest my bag on the counter and sip my drinks. I can dance, very well too, but I'm not in the mood. I mostly like dancehall, RnB and soul ballad songs. Plus right now I need to be careful. I don't want to be in the crowd.

"Motion Brand is my company and I've been single for a few months, and I swear I'm not a stalker!" I laugh. Motion Brand is a few miles from L's Cooperation. Single for a few months huh?

"I have two sisters and 1 brother! My mom and dad is still alive strong and healthy! I'm the last child and the second most successful one!" The second most successful one? This man is hilarious. I can see that his mood from the beginning is back.

"Good to know!" Well he seems a bit clearer to me now. He's definitely not popular because he's not everywhere like Lucifer, but he has a really profitable company. Lucifer definitely made his name. I wish he would be so open though. Harrison makes me feel comfortable for some reason and I barely know him.

"I just want to settle down and get serious about life! I guess that's why I'm still single! You!?" My eyes widen a little after his statement.

"Me! Um...there's isn't much to tell!" I want to start life with someone serious too. It's surprising to hear a man say that. I actually feel proud of him.

"Come on there must be something! I want to get to know you!"

"You cannot take one night to know me Harrison!" He looks straight into my eyes.

"But it's a start right!?" He smile. I smile too.

A start for what though? I told him no promises, so I hope he doesn't think this is a start to something.

I can feel the rum penetrating now.

"I have a brother and a friend which is his wife, plus a little niece!..." I stop smiling remembering my parents. I still love them so much.

"...We lost our parents when we were very young!" He stop smiling too. I gulp the rest of my drink.

"I'm sorry to hear that"

"Yeah if only I could turn back the hands of time! I haven't seen someone love me the way that they did!"

"Another drink! The same one!" I watch the bartender pour me another one and hand it to me.

"I know that you are a grown lady and can make decisions for yourself, but please take my advise and don't drink so much!" I laugh. He can tell that to his siblings. My metabolism won't allow me to stay drunk, if I do get drunk.

"Thanks!"

The bar is getting crowdy.

We talked for a while longer and I had a few more vodka which he paid for. He kept telling me to slow down, but I know what I'm doing.

I think.

He told me a lot about his childhood and the food he likes. He also told me a lot of crazy things that happened throughout his life. It's possible to learn a person's whole life story in just a couple hours. It turns out that we have a few things in common too.

I spot Lucifer at a doorway and see a woman walk up beside him right after. She is smiling looking up at him from sideways. He's serious as usual looking straight ahead.

Who is that woman? Is she the one who was on the phone?

"Christina. Where are you?"

He really thinks I'm going to answer him?

Thanks to Harrison I found out he came here for a meeting. He left me in the dark. He didn't even asked where I was when I first got here and left in the crowd. Now he's interested to find out where I am?

Screw him.

"It's time for me to go! I will save your number!" He nod. I can see that he's not ready for me to go. I don't want to leave either. He's really fun to talk with. He's so open and easy going.

"Are you still at the bar?"

Oh so he knew that I went here. How?

I'm going to teach him a lesson.

Wow. I can feel the rum getting to me.

"Bye" I get up from the seat and almost tumble, but I quickly stable myself. I've been sitting too long.

"Careful" He holds my hand. I nod, then he removes it. I look at him a little longer before realizing I should stop gazing. I take up my bag.

"Call me?" He says.

"Of course" I reply with a smile and he did too. Yes, he's gorgeous. I walk down the step.

I'm walking through the crowd.

"I don't know where I am. I'm weak"

Time to get this trick started.

I'm getting better and better at this mind communication.

He's definitely going to fall for this.

"What? Can you see anything? How long ago did this happened?"

I stop in the crowd dancing, swaying my hips to the beat of the song playing.

"The place is dark. One minute I was in the club and the next thing I know, I woke up somewhere I can't even see anything"

I'm not sure I can sense panic in his voice.

I realize I've been dancing for a while and he hasn't responded.

"Don't worry baby girl. I will find you"

Why does he sound like that? And why responding after over a minute.

This song that just started. I'm never gonna get used to it. I love it.

O.M.G

I tense when a pair of arms wraps around my waist. It's not squeezing me, and the moment a whiff of his scent travels across my nose I realize who it is. I shut my eyes.

We rock together to the song for a while. This song is so sensual and intimate. With his hands around me like this rocking to the music, I can tell it's making him feel the same way I am feeling.

"Found you"

Shit I totally forgot I was tricking him.

"How did you know where I am?"

"I think you underestimated me. Do you really think I'd leave you alone without having eyes on you?"

What?

"What do you mean?"

"I was watching you on camera. There's no way someone could've taken you in such a short period of time without me noticing. I saw you at the bar just before I got up. Plus they wouldn't even get pass the exit. The only place they could've gotten is as far as this dance floor or the entrance passage"

"Do you mean you were watching me while having the meeting?"

I guess I did underestimated him.

"Yes. Sorry I should've told you" I smile.

"But how did you find exactly where I am in this huge crowd?" He's silent. I will give him time.

"I was just...led here" He says after a while.

But how?

I pull at his hands and he loosen up. I turn around looking up at his handsome face.

"Kiss me" He looks from left to right.

"Aren't you worried if this gets out in the media. You can never know who's watching. Some people may not recognize me because of the darkness in here, but it's possible that some will"

"I don't care"

I can feel him chuckle.

"Yes you do. You've been drinking too much. Come on. Follow me"

We walk through the crowd and through a door, behind it are the stairs.

"Where are...you taking me!?" Damn. The way I speak is different from when we were talking in our minds. I feel very tipsy, but I know it'll wear off soon, that's why I drank so much in the first place.

It seems I really did drink too much.

"You'll see!" He takes my hand. The further up we go the lower the music gets.

"Why did you buy this place...without an elevator" He chuckle.

"It does have one, but I don't like using elevators. I don't get tired very easily so I have no problem taking the stairs"

"So you don't like elevators and...you don't get tired easily...that's 2 things about you- nope actually just 1...the part where you don't like elevators. I've learnt...so much about Harrison... in just couple hours and I've known you for months...and didn't know that about you" He stop for about 2 seconds before he starts walking again.

I already know he doesn't get tired easily. It shows when we're having sex.

He stops talking.

He opens a metal door and we walk through, finally reaching the 3rd floor. I can see the sky. There's a lounge and bar up here. A jerk area and if the rain should fall we won't get wet. Up here is like a little open house. There's a center table and some flowers around the place. The light is dull white.

I pull away from his hand brisk walking to the bar, but put my bag on the couch before doing so. I should pour me more vodka...Or just put the bottle at my head.

"Is up here a sort of VIP area?" I take up a bottle of vodka from the bar. Oh nice I can sit too.

"No. I own the place now, so I'm the only one with the authority to come up here. Unless I say otherwise" Oh kool. I put the bottle at my head that I took from the bar. I sit on one of the two bar seats.

"That's enough for one night" I remove the bottle from my head.

I point at him.

"Don't tell me...what's enough for me besides..." I put the bottle at my head again, then put it down after 2 gulps.

"I have a suuuper fast metabolism...so I won't stay drunk...for long" I laugh at him when I see his curious expression.

"What am I to you?" I cross my legs, still holding the bottle and lay my other hand on my lap. He frown in confusion.

"Don't do that...because I didn't ask a confusing question"

"Do you remember everything you told Harrison?" He drags the bottle from my hand.

"Hey! Give that back!" I stand trying to take the bottle from his hand that he's now holding up in the air. I feel like a little girl trying to take my toy back from a bully.

Wait...why am I trying to take that when there are more in the bar. I laugh.

"Fine. Keep it!" I turn around to take up another bottle.

"Hey!" He grabs my left hand.

"Just stop drinking"

"Just stop drinking" I mimic him. His face is dead serious. I don't care.

"What am I to you?" I look him straight  in the eyes. He open his mouth to speak, but nothing is coming out.

"Let me tell you this...You are not going...to keep fucking me...you are not going to play me like this...I need someone who appreciates me...and cherishes me...enough to want more than just sex" I pull my hand from his.

I give him the middle finger.

"Fuck off" I tell him. I turn my back to him.

"Maybe I should...be with Harrison because...he made it clear he'd want to be with me and settle down...just like I want!" I take a bottle from the bar again.

I pull the bottle.

"Yeeeaaah. Ama do that" I put the bottle at my head. He takes the bottle from my hand. He's making me angry seriously.

"You deserve more than someone like me. You'd be better off" Tears well up in my eyes after hearing that stupid statement.

He just don't want to commit.

Damn.

How could I've been so stupid to fall for someone like him? I knew it from the beginning and somehow I still allowed him to enter my heart. Now I don't know how to drag him out.

"You're a fucking coward! I'm leaving" I walk off but my heels fails.

Lucifer caught me.

Instead of allowing me to stand on my own he lifts up bridal style. We're both looking into each other's eyes, but all I want to do is to slap him. I just want to end whatever this is before it goes any further.

"Please put me down" I say softly. I can feel that I'm sobering up. He puts me to stand.

"Lucifer..." I look at him straight into his eyes. We need to stop having sex.

"...I'm grateful for what you've been doing for me, but this isn't how I want to live my life. I'm not asking you to commit to me, but I need to be with someone who wants something from me than just sex. I'm-"

"It's not just about sex-"

"Then what! Tell me!"

"Remember that the last time it happened I wasn't the one who asked" Wow. I feel so pathetic right now. He really pointed that out?

"Look Christina. I only said that to prove to you that I'm not rushing you into anything" A tear slide down my cheeks.

"What's going on?" I look towards the metal door we came in. A lady is standing there looking at both of us. I can see that she's confused. I wipe the tears off my face.

Who is she? I'm sure she's the woman who was standing beside Lucifer earlier.

I look back at Lucifer. He's looking at the woman obviously upset.

"I thought you said you're the only one allowed up here" He looks back at me.

"I am"

"Jhamarian who's this?" He shuts his eyes. I look at her.

"You gave him a nickname? Lucifer what's going on?" I look at him.

She starts walking closer.

She sounds just like the lady on the phone. I remember her voice clearly. Is something going on between them?

"She's the one I bought this place from" He finally says. OK. But why does she sound so jealous?

"You have not changed one bit"

"What are you talking about lady" She stops and look at me from head to toe.

"So it's true that your screwing your PA?" She looks at me with resentment.

"And his real-"

"My real name is not Lucifer Morningstar" He cuts the lady off.

What the fuck? Am I in some sort of dream?

"It's Jhamarian Scottsdale" I step back some more.

What is actually going on here?

"Wow. Do you think because you cut me off it means your the one who told her. Were you even going to tell her? What are you doing with her anyways?"

I walk to the couch and take up my bag.

"Christina!" I stop and look back at him. I can see pleading in his eyes.

"Don't go" I won't fall for it.

"Leave me the fuck alone!"

I walk off as fast as possible towards the exit.

"Why are you telling that whore not to go? She's not welcome here" I stop and turn around.

"What the fuck did you just say?"
