Lucifer
I laid with Kid until she fell asleep, I felt so bad for almost draining her yet again, I couldn’t get it out of my head, neither could I get Angel’s face out of my head that disappointment was more than I was expecting. When Kid was finally asleep, I got up and walked to the living room and poured myself a whiskey I needed something to calm my nerves. I stood at the window while drinking looking out at Central Park. I realized that when Heath sees her tomorrow, he will immediately know what almost happened tonight and how was I going to explain that to him? I felt I didn’t really owe him an explanation but he is Kid’s father and she wants him part of her life and the thing is he will ask which means I will have to explain to him and assure him it won’t happen again. I didn’t want to get in Heath’s bad books so I had to assure him and I have to believe it to.
I was so in thought that I didn’t hear Angel walking into the living room until he was standing next to me. “Angel?” I asked. “I think we need to have a conversation.” “I told you I was sorry and I’ll try my best that it doesn’t happen again.” “Not about that Lucifer, what happened happened I was there to stop you and that is a good thing. I want to talk about Niki.” “Why? Where is he?” “His out, he goes out every night and every night he comes back very satisfied I’m not sure if his leaving a trail of dead bodies behind him, I didn’t follow him yet.” “Oh fuck.” “My thoughts exactly, I’ve also heard your thoughts on him and I agree, he is not worth much if he can’t touch Kid and if he can’t touch Kid his a threat to her. Adri wouldn’t have put that spell on Kid in that why if she trusted him.” “I haven’t thought about it like that.” “Well, I have thought a lot about it especially with him going out at weird ours at night.” “I get it, but what do you do to stay fit and fed?” I had to ask him because if Niki goes out and get random people what does Angel do? “I have someone in every city and if I don’t I get a Vampire junkie.” “Oh, that is very popular.” “It is.” “Honestly I tried it once, I won’t say Kid was very happy with me.” “I remember.” Clearly Angel was more observant than I thought, that he heard our conversations about that night.
“You want me to fire him?” “I want you to let him go. If Heath is going to be part of Kid’s life, we don’t need Niki anymore and besides for Kid’s safety I think Niki should go.” “You two were always a team?” I asked a bit shocked with what he was saying. “We were but now that I’m working for you and Kid, I see Niki is not the right fit. I can only stress about you drinking her dry I can’t stress that maybe Niki would do that if he gets the chance.” I let that insult slide because what he said was more disturbing. “You really think he is capable?” “If we have to leave him alone with her for to long, yes Lucifer I think his more than capable and the thing is Kid wouldn’t expect it because she trusts him.” “Okay I’ll speak to him tomorrow after we’ve seen Heath that way I have a good reason to let him go.” “As you wish.”
Angel was still standing next to me looking out at New York not saying a thing. “Anything else?” “Yes.” “Speak your mind.” I told him “You know Heath is going to ask you what happened tonight right?” “Yes, I did think about it.” “I think it would be better if we keep my part in the situation out of it.” “Maybe you are right he might think I can’t control myself around her.” “His definitely going to think that.” “Thanks Angel.” “No problem.” He left me to stand and look over a dark Central Park with my own thoughts and the thought that kept on coming up was, will I do that again? I wanted to think I won’t but what if I do it when Heath is in the house or near and he could hear her heart beat slow; he will kill me. “Lucifer you just have to learn to control yourself.” I said out load. It was never a problem before but with Kid it is, she tastes like honey and when I fuck her, I totally lost track of time and how much I’m drinking, maybe we should find another way to fuck.
I stood at the window for hours thinking, I only notice I was standing there so long when I saw the sun coming up. Today Kid is telling Heath she wants him a part of her life, it’s a big day for her and today is probable the day I get my first scolding from Heath for drinking to much from Kid but I’m ready and I do know I’m wrong so I won’t fight him in fact I might tell him even before he asks me.
It was just past 7 am when Kid came walking out of the room. She looked pale but refreshed to, not so tired like she was the past few months with Gabriel haunting her. “Morning Love.” I said as she walked straight into my arms. “Morning Lucifer. Didn’t you sleep last night?” “No, I couldn’t.” “Why not?” “I was to upset with myself.” “Oh, come on Lucifer let that go it’s over and done with.” I thought to myself, ‘For you maybe but Heath will have something to say today.’ “You want some breakfast?” “Yes, please and can we call Heath to come over earlier, maybe we can go out for lunch and we can talk and I can tell him that I want him apart of my life and you can talk to him about the job we were thinking off.” Kid was so excited I didn’t want to tell her Heath would probably want to kill me first. “Okay love I’ll call him.”
