Chapter 56 - Take Responsibility

Lucifer nervously glanced at his phone screen after composing a simple message, he had already deleted more than 5 messages to form this one,

"I'm here, come down", after peering at the screen for 5 minutes he sent the message to Sera.

He was becoming restless, his heart itching to see Sera who he hasn't seen from past two days. He stared unwaveringly at the mansion gates waiting for Sera to emerge.

Sera came out from the mansion gates, sauntering towards him beaming her signature enchanting smile. Lucifer's heart stopped for a brief second before beating again.

"My God! Did my heart just skip a beat", Lucifer was stunned for a moment. He didn't believe the effect she had on him.

Dressed in a gray crystal studded knee length dress she was a stunner, Lucifer couldn't help but gape at her. His lips threatening to break into his signature devilish grin, but soon composed himself to avoid making any mistakes.

Sera's doe like eyes were peering at him, anticipation clearly visible in them. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly,

"If only I didn't lose myself in passion that day, I would have kissed her silly, just now".

Lucifer hurriedly opened the car door for Sera to enter so that he wouldn't be enticed by her looks and do something untoward to Sera.

He was somewhat proud of his self control and patted himself in his head, when suddenly his gaze landed on Sera's backless dress,

"Shit!", Lucifer almost cursed himself and clenched his fists, he dashed to the other side and jumped start the car.

Getting inside the car Lucifer's senses were awakened by her familiar scent, he almost lost himself, leaning towards her for a kiss but had controlled his desires at the last minute and buckled her seatbelt.

His heart in distress, an invisible claw gnawing at his heart making it bleed, writhing in pain, his chest felt choked.

"I can't bare seeing the agonizing pain in her eyes, I have to continue looking straight ahead!", Lucifer clutched hard at the steering wheel.

The whole ride Lucifer was on the edge, he could feel her gaze on him but he was helpless. He didn't want to hurt her but he couldn't give in to temptation, not before he apologized and set things right.

"I know it's just as hard for you as it is for me, but believe me when I say I'll make it up to you", Lucifer's was screaming inside his head.

After reaching Lucifer hurriedly got out, he wasn't planning on pulling her side of the door open for her but he couldn't let her feel unwanted on their first date.

Lucifer hurriedly went to her side, he was stunned silly seeing her beaming at him and clenched hard to keep him awake and not kiss her little mouth.

He paced forward without sparing a glance at Sera leaving her all dejected and alone, but his girl wasn't weak she relentlessly followed after him and didn't throw any tantrums like those typical rich missy's.

He smiled inwardly, feeling proud of his girl. Upon reaching inside he hurriedly went to his bedroom and kept away the gift he had planned to give her as an apology, debating whether she'll like it or not.

He was in a deep thoughts when he heard footsteps, Sera had entered the penthouse and was looking around like a curious little cat she was.

"Ah! I can't pretend like I don't want to touch her, it's getting on my nerves", Lucifer hurriedly went out and grabbed her waist hugging her, a back hug was all he needed.

Sera sat in Lucifer's embrace in the moonlight gazing at the stars, the dark night with bright stars complimenting her mood perfectly.

She was rambling on, when she noticed Lucifer sitting in a daze, the man was reminiscing his agony moments before. His face had a stupid grin, making him look cute like a button, a bigger button.

Sera stopped speaking, waiting for Lucifer to react. The man didn't even flinch, Sera turned her head only to find him spaced out. Sera scowled at him.

"What the hell! He's all dazed out with me here in his arms?", She couldn't believe how insensitive this man can be.

Poor Lucifer! Only if she could read his thoughts right now.. She'd be as red as a tomato!

Sera felt agitated but soon a devious gleam flashed in her eyes, making anyone who could see her shudder. But Lucifer was oblivious to her schemes, spaced out.

Sera lovingly strapped her arms around Lucifer's neck making the said man jerk in surprise.

Lucifer saw Sera smiling at him, with both her arms around his neck, she was almost straddling him on the swing at the rooftop.

Only then Lucifer realized the situation, he had neglected the little curious cat in his arms, laughing softly he grabbed her waist making her squeal.

"What are you doing? Weren't you busy spacing out just now!", Sera tried to pry his hands off her waist.

"Ah? I don't remember, I only remember how you were seducing me just now", Lucifer spoke innocently making Sera blush in embarrassment, she indeed tried to seduce him but that was just to distract his thoughts.

"I.. I did not", Sera spoke resolutely making Lucifer smirk, his eyes glinting dangerously. Sera obviously knows this look, the devil is awakened!

"I'm telling you... I.. I didn't seduce y..", before she could stutter out the complete sentence Lucifer spoke making her insides squirm.

"But I'm already seduced, So you have to take responsibility!", His each word hitting hard on Sera's heart, making her curse herself.
