"Okay then honey. I will be back. Enjoy!" Red waved at him, Leaving Lucifer with no words to speak as he stood, doing what she said, watching her leave as a chuckle escaped his lips."Madam is surely energetic." Daniel complimented. "Very." "Ah, Sir, now that you are staying for the festival, you have to bother parting in pomp since you are married.""Hmm? What tradition?" Lucifer asked. "Every married guy gives his wife an anklet while the wife cooks his favorite food. It's the tradition to bring them close, showing gratitude, love and respect." he explained. "What about the singles?" Lucifer asked, looking around."They cook for the one they love, if he or she loves you back, they will eat whatever you have made for them.""Sounds fun. Let's get the anklet then." He smiled. "Are you sure?""Yeah. Iris's cooking is amazing anyways." Lucifer said and went with Daniel to get an anklet for Red. When they both returned from home.Lucifer's eyes widened in awe to see red wearing a
"Urgh!" Red groaned and went to the room to get ready. Wearing a perfectly adorned bead, a maroon skirt and her white shirt, she tied her long hair in a messy braid. "I want to make it look like rapunzel." Red said to Jasmine, who was doing her hair."Your hairs are beautiful like her anyways. Here you go, they are done." Jenna said.Red grinned and looked at her reflection in the mirror, pleased by her looks.Pushing her hairs on her shoulder to see them, smiling, "Thank you very much." Red beamed. "Come on, let's go now." Jenna said and Red walked out with her.When Lucifer's eyes fell upon Red everything around him stopped, pulling closer to her as if some strings were doing it, he couldn't take his eyes from her.They charmed him more than he could imagine. He rose from his seat and walked forward, staring deep into her eyes. Red shyly looked down, "How do I look?" Lucifer held her hands and pulled her close, eyes not removing from hers as his heart skipped a beat. Red who was
NYCA certain guy who swayed every woman he laid his eyes upon couldn't possess one and was overwhelmed by his emotions as he was pacing around his Therapist's cabin.Frustrated after seeing the pictures of Red's honeymoon."You know what, April? I am a donkey." Erich said, pulling his hairs while April crossed her legs and filed her nails, not paying attention to his verge of breakdown."Hmm... I know.""I don't know what happened to me. She will surely hate me, I just couldn't control my emotions and the grip I had on myself shattered, everything crumbled when I saw her after four years." He began to lose his patience."After all this time, when I saw her, everything stopped. It was all your fault! If you hadn't fueled my emotion- I'd be at peace!"April sighed, not even bothering to look up at his devastated form."The decision taken by the control of emotions is fatal. You should have thought- Oh, Sorry, You lost your ability to think at that time." "Shut up! Don't vex me more.
Red shut her eyes, losing her senses in an unfathomable allure, losing her mind and letting her emotions take over as she couldn't control herself and this happened. Red moved her lips upon his, holding him tightly as her last support.Lucifer, who was too staggered to move, remained still. His heart stopped the peculiar moment when she pressed her lips upon his. His mind went blank, and couldn't grasp her abrupt intentions.Red realized what she was doing and pulled away immediately, flushed and made an almost crying face with a gasp."Lucifer... I.. didn't m-mean to... It.. it was u-unintentional.. I-" Before she could speak further, Lucifer moved closer and lifted her waist, wrapping his free hand around her neck and kissed her again!Lucifer kissed her passionately, moving his hand to her hair and pulling it, making her moan.Letting out his overflowing urges which were ignited by Red's one action and Lucifer lost himself in the incomprehensible temptation. "Lucifer..." Red mo
Lucifer and Red finally came back from their honeymoon.Spending time together which brought them close without being aware of it as they made some unforgettable memories which would serve as a source of redemption in the future.Red took a deep breath before plopping herself on the couch along with a grin."Hehe, We are finally home." Lucifer chuckled, taking a seat beside her."Yeah. A lot happened but I quite liked this, I don't even remember when was the last time when I had enjoyed this much."You should do some outings, what will you gain by staying in the mansion?" Red asked with a sigh and leaning back."There's no use because I don't want to go." Lucifer replied, leaning back as well. "Why?" Red asked. "Just, my heart didn't want to." He turned to look at her, Red straightened her back and turned to him while she crossed her one leg. "What can I say? But don't you worry, as long as I am here, I will make sure you enjoy life to its fullest." Red grinned. "We will see." Lu
The time for the show came and Lucifer called Red before she went to get ready. "Red! Come here." Red smiled and walked to him. "Hmm?"Lucifer motioned her to sit next to him."What is it, Lucifer? I have to get ready." Red said, sitting beside him. "Listen Red, Do you know Erich Black?""Professionally or personally?""Personally.""Nope. Never. Yeah, I wanted to work with him but not as a person. Why are you asking?" Red asked."Because you two are from the same university." Lucifer told her. Red gasped in astonishment to hear this, "What!? When did that happen?! How come I never knew about him?""Because when you were enrolled he was in his senior year. It's a high possibility that he might know you in that one year." Lucifer responded. "What? Okay, I get it. I was notorious after six months but how didn't he notice me?! How in one year?" Red said worriedly. "If he knows me till then... It must be about four years now. Four years Lucifer! Can you imagine how long that would b
"Red, please... You are my friend, can't you do this little thing for me?" Lucifer pleaded to Red while coming after her as she was pacing around the house, not listening to him. "I am not doing it, no matter what! And now you are considering me your friend over a dress?!" Red spat, pointing at the white, adorned with a sequined princess gown in front of her. "You know how much I hate gowns like this.""Come on, Red. Can't you do this for me? Look, I have taken you to every fashion show in London possible! And you can't even dress up like a queen at my business party?" Lucifer asked, faking sadness. Red mouth gaped as she punched his shoulder, "You are such a bad actor! It seems like you are mocking me.""Red, wear it. I want you to look like a queen." Lucifer said, grabbing her wrist. "Please. For me." "You are already pretty and it will enhance your beauty more. Red, do it... for me. Please." Lucifer said softly, turning her to him and holding her shoulders."I did everything
"Lucifer. Can I ask you something?" Red said, moving her hand around his neck while standing with minimum space between them."What?" He said, finally not crying anymore."Fun aside... but, are you going to cry in the end?" She asked sincerely, wanting to know the concealed intentions behind his spellbinding gaze. "I.. honestly don't know." Lucifer replied, knowing the answer deep inside. "Are you going to miss me?" She asked again. "Of course I will, I will be alone again. I will miss you every passing moment." His words came out earnest. 'That's why, please don't go'. Lucifer wanted to tell her but couldn't'That's why, please stop me'. Red hummed, wanting to tell him but her words stopped at the edge."Red, We don't know who will cry but please I want you to know if any of us cried at the end, don't let it affect our relationship." Lucifer said desperately, holding her waist, breathless. "And what if we both cried?" Red asked, to which he replied quickly, losing his breath."T
Red couldn't get his demeanour but did as told. In the evening when Erich came, Red tried to talk to him about it but he didn't tell her anything. Erich gave Red a room key and left. Perplexed, Red went to the room. The room was dim and the only source of light was the candles spread everywhere, creating an aesthetic sight while flowers embellished evermore. Enchanted, Red looked around and saw a teddy with 'I love you' written on it along with another note which told her to stand in the circle of rose petals. Flushed by everything Red stood there. Delighted and thrilled to see what is happening. She turned and saw Lucifer coming. He stood in front of her and bent on one knee. Red gasped ,covering her mouth, not believing this moment is true and she is about to face the beautiful moment she imagined will Lucifer was already to complete their tale of love with an eternal bond of salvation. "Red... Exactly five years ago, on this date I first met you. That moment was the most bea
"I am telling you, I didn't do it." Red argued over the dinner table with everyone there. "You are lying, Red. Say you didn't expose Parker's cheater girlfriend in the whole university." Erich asked. "Yeah I did but I didn't announce cheating." Red shrugged. "Liar, you made Peter do it." "Indirectly, it was all your fault." Lucifer hummed, eating his food in silence while Erich was telling the time when Red exposed Parker's ex and humiliated her in the whole university for cheating on her friend. "So, that bitch was cheating on him." Red shrugged. "Anyways, I then leak the result about the pre-" Red was cut off by Lucifer, "Turn off your radio, Red. We should eat in silence." Erich broke into laughter, "Radio?" He asked. "Yeah, she rambles twenty four, seven." Lucifer said and Erich continued to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" Red asked in irritation. "Never heard such a perfect nickname." Erich said, trying to control his laugh. The rough present aside, everyone knew h
Erich tried to make her understand but Lucifer decided to leave. He called Erich to let him know he can't do it and he should also give his and Red's relationship a chance. "Hello Erich. Man, I can't do it anymore. I am leaving." "What? No, Lucifer. You can't leave like this." "Why are you hurting yourself? Give yourself a chance." Lucifer tried to make him understand. "You are not getting it, Lucifer. She pity me and love cannot arouse between us." "Why are you doing this when she wants to live with you!?" Lucifer angrily asked. "Because it hurts me everytime to see her! I cannot look into her eyes because her love is stolen from her because of me!" Erich replied in the same outraged tone. He grit his teeth, calming down. "Okay, meet her once before leaving." Lucifer opened his mouth to say something but Erich spoke up, "At least, let her choose." Lucifer wanted to argue but agree, thinking it might be for the best if Red chose herself. Erich and Lucifer met outside he
Red lowered her head and hid it in Lucifer's chest. Erich curved his lips in dejection and continued in a broken voice, "When I had no expectation then how can I get hurt?" "I don't want to hurt you." Red said, not meeting his gaze in contrition. "What about you Red? Are you going to live your life with me all because you don't want to break my heart? What about your heart? Your emotions? I cannot live like this with you. I want your elation." "But.. but what about the sorrows I gave you. I-" Erich cut her off, "I will gather myself." Erich smiled and lowered his head, continuing in a crying tone, "But I cannot bound you with me knowing you love someone else. I.. can't do this." Red looked at him timidly, stopping her cries, "Please forgive me." Erich wiped his tears and smiled, "Red I love your happiness, If it won't exist then what's the point of my love?" Erich came closer, the soft smile still on his lips along with the tears shining like gems on his exquisite emeral
"Even if it hurts you?" Red asked between her sobs, looking at him innocently. "Even if it hurts me." He smiled, cupping her cheek with his one hand, dearing the warmth and wiping the tear with his thumb. "Why are you so indulgent with me!? Why can't you say what's in your heart?! Why can't you say you want me to be yours?!" Red asked, crying again, hitting his chest. "Because my words would become an obstacle to your path and I want you to choose the path to solace." He said, holding her face and pulling it close to her, boring his eyes into hers. "But Erich.. I.. I.." Red sniffed, trying to say something. "It's okay." He whispered. "I can't do this..." She whispered back. "Shh. Don't think about it more. Your joy matters to me." He said, stroking the side of her face with his hand, removing the tears which stained her charm. "I am sorry. I am so sorry.. Please forgive me..." Red weeped, lowering her head in shame. "Red, can I ask for something?" He asked. "What?" "A pictur
The next day. April couldn't stay any longer and decided to leave before anything else happened because of her. Also, she doesn't want to ruin lives by her presence anymore. "Are you sure about leaving?" She smiled and nodded. "And you will not come back?" He asked again. "Lucifer, I have done nothing to find a reason to come back." "How could you leave after the chaos?" April laughed a little, "I have demolished everything, that's why I am leaving. And nothing could stop me. I'm sorry if I can't help you anymore but I have to go... It.. suffocates me to see Erich and Red.. I can't take it anymore." Her voice cracked up. She sniffed, resisting her tears and continued in a croaky voice, "I didn't intend to become like this. After Erich ended our sessions, I had no intentions of entering his life again. I just wanted to go back, being Red's friend only but.. I came because of you but I can't do it anymore." "April..." Lucifer called, looking at her compassionately. "Thanks for ev
On her way back, her car's tyre got punctured. She called a mechanic and was waiting for him but then saw Lucifer in April's car who was going to her outlet but when he saw her on the road he stopped. "Red..." He called her, coming to her. "Why are you here?" Red asked. "I wanted to see you." He replied. "You did, now leave." She sighed. "Waiting for a mechanic?" He asked. She rolled her eyes, leaning on her car, ignoring him. Lucifer laughed a little to himself and stared at her. Red tried her best to ignore his gaze and smile but couldn't resist and ask out of annoyance, "What are you staring at?" "You." He replied. "Then stop doing it, it's creepy." She said, His smile turned into a sad one as he lowered his head. "Sorry if that made you uncomfortable but what can I do when I love your hair." He said, looking at her again. "I am sorry if it was unpleasant but I love your smiles." He said with a tear stinging in his eye. "I still love the radiance you no longer pos
"I want to start things over between us." Red breathed out, closing her eyes while Erich traced his fingers on the side of her face with his heart racing rapidly. "Erich please." Red spoke inaudibly. Erich gently pushed her down on the bed and moved back, smiling, "Good night." He said and left her alone in the room to think about her words and thoughts. She couldn't sleep at night, nothing made sense to her with millions of questions roaming her mind and the betrayal pricked a needle in her heart, she needed guidance but seemed like she was being manipulated by sympathy. The next day, she woke up early and didn't find Erich next to her. He slept in the other room, She sighed, freshened up. Red readied up and looked at her dead eyes in the mirror. "Smile, Red. You are going to start a new life today." She told herself. And who do you truly love? A question echoed in her mind and blended angst. She shook her head, forming a fake smile and walked out. Red cooked breakfast for Er
"See. When you can do this, why not April?" He taunted. "Lucifer. Stop." April whispered, holding his shirt, hiding behind his back, trying not to cry. "No. What do you think of yourself, Red? You are hurting everyone here by hiding your real emotions, why are you choosing pain rather than sorting everything out?" Red grit her teeth, averting her gaze with no reply escaping her lips because his words were the bitter reality. "Enough, Lucifer. Stop it." Erich said. Lucifer looked at Erich and let out a short laugh, "And look at this poor guy, Red. Contemplate his condition, it was all because of you." Lucifer scowled. Red curled her hands, drowning in guilt for what happened to Erich by her unintentional words. "Stop it." Red managed to say. "Why? Can't-" Lucifer was cut off by April this time. "Please Lucifer. Stop." "No, Let him speak. What are you trying to show anyways, huh? Do you care? Don't give me this crap now." Red mocked. "Leave my house." April managed to say. "I am
