Three.

Elle POV. 

“Sit down Love,” again the Devil asks in her melodic voice, she’s been ordering me around the whole time, calling me love instead of my real name, she probably forgot what it was, a women like her, she must go out with a different girl every single night. I obey and sit down, the waitress came by and dropped the menus for us, I could hardly understand half the word written, there was no pictures for me to choose from either, you’d think a high end restaurant would at least provide pictures, but non! I tried to read and pick something but I understood nothing from this menu, all I knew was everything was too fancy for me. 

“We ready to order,” Devil says calling to our waitress, when I wasn’t ready to order at all, I was anything but that, I still had no idea what I want to eat, and this happens to be the best meal I’ll have in some long long time! 

When the waitress came, she ordered some dishes that were too hard for me to pronounce, with the accent that I’m finding way too sexy, the words were close to impossible. When the waitress turned to me I panicked, I know I hate it when people make me wait for them while they chose, why calling me if you haven’t chosen yet. I looked at her with wide eyes, I looked like a deer stuck in the headlight of a car, or maybe a train, felt like a train coming to hit me, and the waitress didn’t look too happy about me making her wait, she just wanted the night to be over with and she knew that I didn’t belong here, we both knew I didn’t.

Thankfully the Devil was quick to save me yet again, she said some more hard words for me to say, thanking the waitress before she left, finally I could breathe in relief. 

“Why did you made me wait?” I ask her, feeling hurt about the whole waiting time, maybe I shouldn’t have waited, maybe it was better for me to just leave after the first fifteen minutes of waiting. 

“Guess” she replies with a smile, I was falling in love with the smile, it got me captivated, made me sit down and listen to her.  

“Uhm, you were worried I’ll be sent by someone to kill you, you set the date here and waited for me to come while you keep an eye out for me.” I say my first scenario making her laugh, I loved the sound of that, I wanted her to laugh again. 

“No, try again Elle” she says with a shake to her head. 

“Uhm, you had a job, you to kill…” I say the last word in a whisper making her smile and nod “Someone but it turned out to be way too dirty, you had to hide his body down in the sewer. But then you stinked, had to run home to shower and get ready” I say making her laugh loudly again. 

“Who was my hit? The ninja turtles?” she teases shaking her head. 

“Fine, fine….why then?” I ask with a pout. 

“Believe it or not little one, my tire exploded on the way here” she says, no that’s something that might happen to normal humans not someone named the Devil. 

“Oh you don’t believe me, I had to change the tire and clean myself before coming” she says with a shake of her head, she did the dirty job herself. She doesn’t look like she changed a tire, more like she just got off a runway with her perfect figure. 

“I’ll go with the sewer job, and no you were hunting batman” I say with a sigh, this makes much more sense for me. 

“As you wish princess, as you wish” Devil replies still shaking her head at me. 

The food arrived next, I expected something fancy, I expected not to know which one to use a fork or a spoon, but the thing that was set in front of me was something I knew very well, something that might be one of my favorite dishes even! Burgers! 

“You ordered me a burger?”  I asked with a blush, with all the hard words she used, I’d think she had me a fish with the head still attached. 

“Yes, it’s something you like. But if you don’t want it, I can order you something else, you probably want to try one of their signature dishes…” Devil says sounding not so sure of herself anymore, did I just made her blush! And babble like me, I had to cut her off, this was perfect! 

“No, no a burger is perfect, I love these things” I say with a wide smile, finally she composed herself again, the smile was back at her face, she was back. I looked over her dish, it looked to be chicken I guess, with green sauce on top, along with vegetables on the side, my burger sounded much better right now. I took a big messy bite, leaving sauce all over my face, making her chuckles at me again, she got a tissue and wiped my face for me making me blush yet again. 

“So tell me more about you Elle” she begins, while eating her food with both a fork and a knife. 

“There’s nothing to tell, you’re the more interesting person here” I say honestly, she knows almost everything about me. 

“No love, I’m sure there’s more to know. You interest me Elle, entertain me for the night” she says. 

“Why so you could kill me later tonight?” I ask suspicious of her. 

“Gosh little one, how obsessed with death are you. No I would not kill you or hurt you in any way shape or form” Devil tries to convince me. 

“Said the one who’s name is the Devil” I reply still not buying her lies. 

“What would it take you to trust me, we’ve been friends for months now.” She says with a shake to her head, it’ll take me that she doesn’t kill me for me to believe her, or my ghost would hunt her around telling her I told you so. 

“How about I promise?” she says, I raise a brow at her, it’s easy to break promises. 

“Pinky promise Elle” she says again holding her pinky for me, this was my version of the unbreakable oath, if she breaks it, she’ll die. I’d kill her this time for real, I held my pinky up for her, she wrapped her around mine before adding. 

“I promise, I would not harm you ever!” she says, now I could believe her. 

“Devil, you know most things about me, but I know nothing about you” I tell her accusing her of hiding everything from me.

“There’s nothing to occupy your pretty mind with, but come on, hit me with more stories” she says with a smile, she’s just keeping me around for my stories. 

“Uhm, you were abused, the first person for you to ever kill were your parents. You did it with a cold blood, and decided this is the job for you! That’s how you became you” I tell her expecting her to laugh or at least smile but nothing. 

“Is that why you want me to do it? Kill the abusers?” she asks in a very ice cold voice, is that what she wanted to know, the reason why I hired her in the first place. 

“But you won’t do it” I say knowing the answer already, once she do it, we’re going to break all connections between the two of us, she won’t be my friend anymore. 

“If I do it, I’ll lose you. Killing the abusers won’t bring you the peace of mind you’re searching for, no I would not do it. But I want to be your friend and maybe just a little bit more” she adds a wink to the ending of her sentence making me turn red with my blush. 

“You speak as if you know for yourself” I say digging again for more details about her, she never talk about herself, only me, and I knew I’m a crazy mess but what about her, how did she end up here. 

“I know enough, now eat up” she says before turning back to her food, I did the same enjoying the very high quality burger, I love all kind of food, but fast food, sometimes I just crave it, the good kind of it. I’m so over cheap burger and box mac and cheese, after our lovely dinner, Devil paid for it before guiding me outside. 

It was late, too late for me to get the bus they don’t work this late in the night, maybe I’ll take the subway back home they keep working all night, but I’ll have to keep an eye out for the creeps, I can’t order a taxi, too expensive for people like me. I was about to thank her for the night and leave, but she ignore my trials to say goodbye or try to get away, instead she got her car, a flashy red Camaro! With tinted windows and a private car number.

“Get in” she order before opening her side of the car and getting inside, I obeyed her, maybe too quickly but I was always taken by sexy cars, Camaro included, and I did not want to take the subway anywhere.

“Where are we going?’ I ask once the door was closed behind me, she simply turn the car on and start driving. 

“Seat belt” she order, I place it on, the click of the belt was her cue to hit the accelerator, I held to the seat with both my hands with how fast she’s going. 

“Where we going! Devil slow down” I scream when we almost hit another car. 

“I’m driving you home” she says, but I never gave her my address. 

“You don’t need to” I say but I was ignored, I didn’t think she’s taking me home, she took all the wrong turns, she drove like a maniac, but in the end of the long short drive, we made it to my building. 

“You’re crazy” was the first words that left my mouth after getting out of the car. 

“You know it, and you love it” she replies laughing, she’s really a psycho. 

“I enjoyed this so much Love, sorry I have to leave you so early Elle” she says getting closer to me, now that we’re standing next to each other, she’s not much taller than me, the high heels are on her side. 

“It’s okay” I mumble, kind of mad, she lift my chin up until our faces met. 

“We’ll do it again Love” she says landing a soft peck on my lips. 

“Good night Elle” she says getting back in her car, and speeding off. 

“Good night” I mumble to the back of the red car.
