Thankfully when Daniel got home Tina was sleeping with baby Gabriel by her side. Daniel told me after he called me to make sure I was ok.

Obviously my dear brother explained himself and Tina was ready to talk to everyone again.

"Where are you going?" Tina ask. She comes over this morning before leaving for work, trying to talk to me.

I'm lotioning my skin with my bra and panty on. Soon I'll spray my refreshing bath and body wash on my skin too. I just love it when I'm all..sweet.

"Out" I reply nonchalantly. So here's the thing, I'm upset because she didn't picked my calls just because she and Daniel weren't speaking.

Like come on I'm her friend. I'm suppose to cheer her up. Well it was a warning I called her about. Then afterwards would come the cheering.

After Daniel told me what happened, I had a feeling that she wouldn't have picked my calls. I'm the one who told her not to say anything to Daniel and because of that, it caused an argument between them. So she blames me for that.

I basically made her promise not to tell and I know she would've wanted to. I know her.

No matter how vexed they were with each other, she always talks to me. This was the first she didn't do it so I'm sure she blames me.

"Oh my God. You have a date?" I glance through the mirror. I can see how excited she is. But I know she sense the distance I'm signalling towards her right now.

After I finish lotioning and applies the bath and body wash spray, I starts applying a little make-up.

"I'm not in the mood to talk right now. I just wanna go before I'm late alright" In anger, I slam the mascara on my dresser after applying it.

I walk to my bed where I had already laid my dress. It's a strapless, blue floral that hover just above my knees. A pair of blue pumps to go with it too.

"Christina I know your upset with me. I know I should've answered your calls but I didn't wanna take out my anger on you" I snap my head to her.

"Like you've never done it before. Tina we vex with each other all the times over the years. We yell at each other, everything. I wouldn't be this angry if you had answered. You know, it's not just that you didn't answer my calls, it's the fact that a man is out there that wants the people I love dead. I wanted to make sure that you were ok" I turn back around and put my dress on.

"For what it's worth I'm sorry. It won't happen again. I promise"

"Comfort to a fool. You can promise what you want Tina, but I care about your safety. Including my niece and my brother. I understand that you didn't want to talk because you were angry, but still Tina"

"Can you forgive me? Can my twin please forgive me?" She pull at my bra strap playfully. One of the main thing that drew Tina and I close together back then since the day we met, are our names. Her Christian name is Tina, literally. Nothing more to it. Tina Grey-George And I'm Christina. I basically have her whole Christian name as a part of mine.

"Yeah of course. Just answer if there's a next time, just to be safe" I set my bra properly that she rearranged. I sit on the bed ready to put my shoes on.

"So..." She sits beside me inquisitively.

"Who's the lucky guy?"

"I wish. There's a staff party at L's cooperation today" I put one shoe on. I take up the other.

"Oh. Well good choice of an outfit. You actually have good taste" I giggle.

"Well I don't wanna be late for work either, so I better get going" She utters before standing.

"Tina. Lucifer drove me home last night" Astonish, she sits again.

"What?"

"Daniel didn't pick me up. He asked and I eventually allowed him to bring me home"

"Give. me. every details"

"I thought you said you don't wanna be late for work?" I smirk.

"That's why your gonna hurry up and give me the summary. You said eventually you accepted. Did you mean you played hard to get?" She wiggle her eyebrows. I roll my eyes.

"Of course. Because I loathe the guy and I want nothing to do with him" She laugh.

"Ok fine. So why did you accept?"

"I needed answers" Plus the blasted flashing of cameras.

"What answers?"

"He basically told me that his friend has powers. When he touched me he put me in something called chranceageny".

"Chranceageny?"

"Yeah. You've never heard of it?" She shook her head.

"Yeah well what I explained to you that Samuel did, that's what it's called. Lucifer said there were more than one strategy to relief me from it, yet he chose the one to kiss me"

"You sound as if there's another way that doesn't involve kissing?"

"My point. But he said it worked faster. Sometimes I wonder if he's lying. Maybe he saw an opportunity to put his lips on mine and did it". I doubt that though.

Tina look at me directly on the lips, then my eyes.

"How did that kiss made you feel?"

"At the time nothing really. I just reacted. Honestly speaking... I'm the one who really kissed him". Her eyes dilates.

"What? Meaning?"

"A part of me believed him when he said it wasn't personal. Tina his lips didn't move. Mine did. I really kissed him. It's been years since a man laid his lips on mine. So I reacted unwillingly. The only thing I remember is that his lips trembled just before he pulled away".

"He got nervous Chrissy. Lucifer might actually like you" She has this devilish look on her face.

"I can't wrap my finger around that one. He said if Samuel put me in chranceageny again he won't stop him. That doesn't print 'I like you Christina' or 'Ms George' as he calls me. No question about that" She furrows her eyebrows.

"Why did he say that?" I look away from her.

"I might've compared him with Samuel...before he told me the kiss method was more effective at the time"

"This chranceageny thing is just the creepiest of all creepies. I can see why Lucifer said that Chrissy. But he's actually the only and boldest guy that I know would tell to a beautiful woman's face that he won't help again if something like that happen. He's really messed up. It's like, he's not a bad person, but he's also not a good one. It seems to me like he can't decide which road to walk on. As if he's lost"

"It looks to me like he's already lost T" I say sadly.

She stand.

"Don't fret about it. He's not your problem. You just work for him" I crack a smile.

"Right"

"You aren't beginning to like Lucifer are you?" I laugh sadly.

"Nope. I'm just thinking about my messed up life. No man, no sex. That's the only thing I'm lack of. And the worst part, I don't have the heart to just give it to any man and say get it over with. The give myself credit talk is already over. I'm getting too old to still be a virgin"

She sits beside me again.

"I know. That's why I begged Daniel to not get in your way anymore. I begged him to allow you to make your own mistakes. But you have to be prepared for that"

"What did you have to do to convince him to do that?"

"I really didn't. I guess he knows I'm right. It seems as if I didn't even had to make so much effort. Do you remember that song you sang and the dance moves you created for it some years ago?"

"Oh my God". I cover my face.

She laugh and stand.

"I need to see that one day. That specific adult one of course. My favorite one. You have a really beautiful voice and some sexy moves"

"Please go to work and leave me alone. I don't wanna be late" She laughs again.

She knows I just wanna get rid of her because I have to wait on Daniel to pick me up.

"Alright alright. Later" I stand and give her a hug.

"Be careful".

"Don't worry I have a gun" She says.

"Right. Lock the door after you go out"

"I know".

I will keep the sex part to myself, the other thing that Lucifer said could've stopped Samuel.

***

Daniel told me the same thing Tina did about the singing thing. Did they also discuss that?

It's true that I have a beautiful voice. Everyone used to love to listen to me. I was there little private entertainment. I used to sing everyday and create dance moves, pretty good ones. I sang childish ones while growing up and childish dance moves. Adult ones after I reached 18 and created some sexy seductive dance moves. But since I realized how unhappy my life started to be, I stopped. Sometimes I sing but not out loud. Sometimes I just listen to music on my phone through my earpiece and hum. I got rid of the iPod since I forgot it the day of Lucifer and Diana. I never left my phone, so it's better I use it.

As much as I don't sing out loud anymore I still have to because it reminded me of the times that I was happy. It helps keep me going. Money is not an issue to me, yet I'm not happy. Most people believe that they need only money to be happy, but I believe money is just one of the things that keeps people happy.

"Christina" Daniel said before I pull the door.

"It was out of my way a long time ago to protect you from your intimate life. I won't get in the way anymore. It's really wrong. I see that now" He smile.

"I blamed you for depriving me of experience. But I know you were only trying to do what you thi-"

"Was best for you". I glare at him for cutting me off with his nonsense talk.

"What you think was best for me" I squint my eyes at him to see if he'll try to counteract me. He only nodded his head in defeat. Good.

"Who knows? You probably saved me from a lot of bad relationships" I say.

He smile.

"Make sure you keep your promise. I might just give you a concussion if you don't. Or move faaar away from you. And don't leave me hanging again tonight or any other night"

"With someone trying to kill you. Won't ever happen again. I will keep my promise baby sis" I smile.

"Good. I'll see you later"

I leave out of the car making my way to the building.

It feels very uncomfortable living knowing that someone is after me. I should just lock myself up at home everyday, but I'd probable go crazy. I just need to be careful.

"Why do we keep meeting like this?" I look behind me. I sigh.

"Harrison"

Harrison dresses casually. He looks hot.

"Christina. I see you're still here" I frown.

"And what is that suppose to mean?"

"Ms George". I look to see Lucifer heading towards me.

He is..as usual dressed in a suit.

You just have to stand out don't you. Have to make everyone know your the boss.

"Harrison weren't you just about to leave?" Harrison stare at him, Scrutinizing Lucifer's face.

"Actually I change my mind. Beautiful dress Christina. Or should I say you look gorgeous in that dress. Fits you well" He move from the exit and walks back inside the building.

I see Lucifer glaring at him.

I frown at Harrison walking away. What just happened between them. Is Lucifer jealous because he sees Harrison checking me out?

"But Ms George for Lucifer right?"

"Why are you giving me the cold shoulder anyways. Lucifer and my friends might be...not so nice, but I'm not like them"

I shake my head. What was that?

Something like this happened to me one night Daniel was bringing me home. I don't understand.

I think I hear Lucifer said something and look at him. He's looking at me, then raise his stupid bushy eyebrow.

"Didn't you hear me just now? Get to work" His gaze isn't intense. His voice was. I raise my eyebrow this time.

I walk up to him. Close to his face. An unfamiliar, but sweet sensation shivers down my spine after scenting the same scent inside his car. I really like that scent. It's almost seductive.

I step back.

"I understand that your the boss and stuff, but you can tune down your attitude. If you do it to scare people, I'm not affected. I never have and never will. You don't need to let people fear you, let them respect you. If you try to evoke fear into people, your also going to evoke hate as well, then create a lot of enemies, but I guess that's how you like living" I walk away. To my surprise he's not saying anything.

If it was 2 years ago and Lucifer talked to me like that, I would've just sucked in and go on about his demands towards work. I wasn't always this tough. Things had happened to me in the past that had made me into the tough woman I am today. If it wasn't for Daniel and Tina I would've been a walking rock stone.

Thank God I converted from my old ways. It's allowing me to deal with people like Lucifer the way they're supposed to be dealt with.

I notice that eyes are on me. I'm sure they saw what transpired with Lucifer and I. They may not have heard, but I'm sure they saw.

They are always watching damn.

I like the music that's playing. It's so soft and elegant.

Elevator here I come.

"Christina" I don't have to guess who said my name with such emphasis and disgust.

He voice alone makes me so angry.

I turn around.

"What is it Diana?" Wow that yellow dress is sucked really tight on her. Like a second skin. Though it looks good. She got curves.

If only she was nice. Nice would've fit her perfectly.

"I knew you were just too good to be true. How was your night last night?" I frown.

"How was what?" I know she's referring to Lucifer.

She points at the television.

My eyes dilates after I see pictures of me and Lucifer's with the headline, 'Lucifer's new Chick' at the bottom. Those people insinuates really quickly and wrongly. There are pictures of us talking before I went in his car, pictures going into his car and pictures of his car driving off.

"It's been playing all morning honey. Lucifer's new chick. Hmm. Doesn't sound different from all the other women he fucked" So that's why everyone is looking at me.

I can't believe those people.

I don't want my frigging face all over the news especially now that someone out there is trying to kill me!

Those fucking idiots!

"Diana, I'm no saint, but I'mma tell you this. I don't owe you any explanation whatsoever, but Lucifer and I... We aren't dating, or did we ever had sex. It was just a simple. ride. home, I'm not you. You and I both know what I mean" She walks closer up to me and only crack a smile.

"I knee you were there in the office. I wanted you to hear everything. I want you to know that even if you get some he'll never choose you" How stupid is she?

"Wow you stooped so low. I'm not a part of the gang of sluts he fucked. I don't want him why is that so hard to get into your skull?!" The whole place quieted down. Their attention focusing here. The music is still playing.

I was that loud huh?

"Excuse me!" I hear Lucifer say to someone. I see him walking towards this direction.

In anger I walk off. I don't need this.

Instead of going towards the elevator I head for the stairs.

Harrison and... Glenlivet? I didn't know that was here too. They are standing somewhat close to the stairs. I feel even more angry remembering Samuel now. He would be mad to show up here.

"You're moving quite fast Christina" I ignore Harrison and start the stairs.

There's too much going on right now to deal with Diana's foolishness. I don't even like Lucifer. If those women are attracted to his coldness and his little respect for women, I'm not.

I scream after missing a step and start to fall. Even my hand bag fell. I can't stable myself. I'm sure to hit the ground.

To my surprise a pair of strong arms catches me. When I open my eyes, a pair of bright ones are staring down at me with a very handsome smile.

Harrison.

"I told you you were moving too fast. Never walk up any stairs in anger, thus in wedge heels" He gently puts me down.

A rush of desire develops in my gut, suddenly, I feel the urge to kiss him.
