Previously:
After a solid 2 minutes of kissing I grew bored. I noticed Maze had got up and gone to the bar and was preparing three drinks, she hadn't even glanced in my direction. What was up with everyone? I turned back to the couple and cleared my throat getting everyone's attention back on me.
"Ah detective completely slipped my mind you were there" Lucifer said as he pulled away and looked towards me.
"Who is this?" I asked with a hint of jealousy in my voice. I thought, since Lucifer had revealed himself to me a couple of months ago, he had stopped using random people for sex. That's what I'd heard through the grape vine at work anyway. Lucifer then jumped up and pulled the girl around with him. I realised then how beautiful this girl truly was, and I became even more jealous.
"Izzy meet Detective Chloe Decker, Detective meet Izabella. We go way back"
Chapter 5: Let the Show begin
Bella's POV
"Izzy meet Detective Chloe Decker, Detective meet Izabella. We go way back," Lucifer said whilst waving his hand between us. I smiled at her and stepped towards her offering my hand.
"Hi, I'm an old friend of Lucifer's. I've heard so much about you," I said in my sweet voice I use to get people to like me. She nodded and took my hand being cautious.
"Funny, I've never heard of you," she said back in a sarcastic tone that told me she was jealous of me.
"Now detective…" Luci started but I held my hand up to stop him, and smirked at her. Her face held a smug grin on it.
"Maze, I though you told me she was a nice person. I'm not really getting that," I said staring directly into her eyes.
She started to fidget under my gaze. My eyes and stare have cause many great men to fall to their knees and worship the ground that I walked on. Lets just say my stare was a way of persuasion. I felt Lucifer's arm wrap around my waist after a couple of moments of silence and eye contact. The detective was strong, I'll give her that she hadn't completely fallen apart yet, but she was close to it. I finally released her from my gaze and looked up at Lucifer and smiled sweetly. He gave me a look that basically told me to stop, but he wouldn't really do anything about it if I didn't.
"Sorry but who are? Like really? Who are you to Lucifer and what not?" Chloe said interrupting the moment between Lucifer and I.
Chloe's POV
As this girl walked towards me, her eyes locked on mine and I instantly became uncomfortable and I didn't know why. It was like she could see my soul and my thoughts it was disturbing.
"Hi, I'm an old friend of Lucifer's. I've heard so much about you," she said offering me her hand. I shook hesitantly, still feeling uncomfortable with her gaze.
"Funny, I've never heard of you," I said, a bit icier than intended, I could hear it in my voice, I was jealous of this young girl in front of me who must have been 10 years younger.
Lucifer began to speak but she held her hand up and stopped him. I couldn't help the smirk that came to my face when she did that. I had seen Lucifer loose his temper and hurt people for disrespecting him a lot less than that. I knew that Lucifer would probably kick her out and never see her again after that. Or so I thought. Lucifer seemed to shrink back, letting this girl take the lead in the conversation.
"Maze, I though you told me she was a nice person. I'm not really getting that," Izabella stated never removing her eyes from my own. It was so uncomfortable. Deep down I was a bit angry and upset that she and Maze had been talking about me without me even knowing this girl. Paired with the scene I had walked in on earlier and I was once again extremely jealous of the relationship this Izzy and Maze shared. They seemed to be best friends gossiping and chatting like normal young girls would do, whilst me and Maze had been room mates for a number of years and had never been like that. I notice Lucifer had his arm around Izabella's waist and she finally broke her gaze from me. I immediately let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.
They continued to stare into each other's eyes completely ignoring everything around them. I looked around and saw Maze finishing the three cocktails she was making before. I looked back at the couple still staring at one another and decided I had enough.
"Sorry but who are? Like really? Who are you to Lucifer and what not?" I asked again a bit icier than intended. The two looked at me and then at each other. They nodded to each other and walked to the sofa.
"Take a seat Detective and we'll explain," Lucifer said looking back at me. I walked over and had a seat on the opposite sofa. Maze walked over with two of the three cocktails she had made.
"Old fashioned for you and a Whiskey for you" she said heading them to Izabella and Lucifer respectively. She then walked back grabbed the other drink and came and sat in the armchair furthest away from me. I feel my rejection of Lucifer and Maze's true self has led me to loose a friend
"Oh come on Maze where has your hospitality gone? You didn't even offer Chloe a drink. And we all know she's going to need it," Izabella started addressing Maze, who just shrugged in response. She turned to me and stood "What can I get you to drink Chloe?" she asked looking at me expectantly.
"Nothing I'm fine thanks" I responded whilst wringing my hands together.
"Whiskey then I'll be right back" she responded and turned to the bar.
And awkward silence came over the group, which was unusual. Lucifer and Maze always seemed to have something to say but we all sat in silence, waiting for Izabella to return. The click of heels could be heard coming from the bar back into the main area of the open plan penthouse. She came and placed the drink in front of me before going and sitting next to Lucifer.
"Right let's get down to business, what do you want to know detective?" she asked staring at me, whilst Lucifer slung his arm over the small girl.
Maze's POV- Earlier
The minute I saw Izabella, or Iza as I called her, standing with Lucifer in Lux, I knew that all would be okay. Whatever came of Chloe and this whole situation, everything would be okay. Ever since we came to Earth Lucifer, for some reason, could not seem to remember his true intention of being there. Those first couple of months of us arriving he would complain that his chest hurt and that he felt like he was missing something. And yet every time I tried to jog his memory about Iza he would brush me away and say it was probably nothing. And then the detective came along and I knew he had found a distraction from the pain but it wasn't gone completely.
I knew that the pain was coming from the fact that Lucifer was away from Iza and yet he seemed to have forgotten her. Iza was my best friend I had known her for over a thousand years and so when he did forget I was worried for her. I didn't know if, when it came down to it, who Lucifer would choose, Chloe or Iza. But I also knew that if Chloe were chosen, I would help Iza leave and move on, as I knew that she would always love him and would leave to let him be happy. So when she walked through the door and Lucifer looked the happiest he ever had in a while I knew that neither of my friends would be hurt.
When I finally managed to pull Iza into the elevator, I pulled her into a giant hug. I very rarely showed emotion or shared hugs with people, but Iza was the only one who could have me turn into a softy in a second.
"Oh Iza I have missed you. Things just aren't the same without you hear," I said as I squeezed the life out of her.
"Oh I know Maze. I've missed you to, we have a lot to catch up on," she said as she squeezed me just as tightly.
The doors opened and I pulled away, dragging Iza through to the main living room. "Can I get you a drink," I asked as I forced her to sit on the sofa.
"Yes an old fashioned Sinner please, I love how you make those drinks," she said looking around the penthouse. "This place is pretty spectacular," she said as she got up and began to explore.
I laughed as I made her drink and watched her explore. "I can take you on a tour if you want," I said as I poured us both a small glass
"No its fine, I'll let Lucifer do that" she said walking over to the bar and leaning against it. She was still the epitome of grace and the source of most female demon's jealousy. Even in her demon face she was beautiful. She is what many girls imagine when they imagine pure beauty and evil rolled into one. I remember when she had just arrived and was getting used to life in hell, she was able to make every demon (some who had been there for as long as the universe had been) jealous and envious of how she had turned out. It didn't help that in the first couple of months of being there she had been attacked by a jealous group of demons and had won. I wasn't there but apparently she had showed them how powerful she was whilst still maintaining that innocence that just adds to her beauty. I have to admit the first couple of months I was amongst those who was jealous of her, but as the years went by she became a friend and sister, and I couldn't help but love her.
"So what have you been up to since I've been away?" She asked me as I handed the drink over. I took a sip and then answered.
"Not much, being Lucifer's right hand man as per usual. You know the drill."
"Yeah, I've missed you so much Maze. So who is this Detective Chloe I've been hearing about?" she asked, always to the point this girl. She has never been one to beat around the bush.
"Chloe is something else. She's really sweet but can be tough when she wants to be. She reminds me a bit of you. But something is up with her, something strange is happening here" I answered. I moved around the bar and went to sit on the sofa, Iza following me.
"Yes Luci said something about LA being weird. He said how when the detective arrived, its like a fog went over his brain and he couldn't remember the reason for him coming back to Earth," She said taking a sip from her drink.
"Well I tried to jog his memory about you but he just brushed me away, he felt the pain of you not being here cause he complained about his chest aching," I answered both of us thinking about what the cause of this strange feeling.
She suddenly broke me from my thoughts by letting out a big sign and the giggling. "I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually," she started and then looked me dead in the eye and in a serious carried on. "Does he still do that thing when he wakes up were he looks like a meerkat looking out of a hole," she asked staring into my eyes. I stared in her eyes for a bit longer and then we both burst out laughing.
Just then the elevator opened and in walked Lucifer and Chloe. We looked at each other and carried on giggling. "What has got you two giggling?" Lucifer asked, we both looked at each other and burst out laughing again. When Lucifer came over and began tickling Iza, I decided we would all need a drink.
I walked over to the bar- ignoring Chloe- to get the drinks prepared. I was still angry with Chloe for the way she reacted to Lucifer being the Devil and I a demon. There were far better ways of handling it, I mean she just upped and left taking Trixie with her. I had really come to care for the small human and was deeply upset when I realized she had left in fear of us.
When I made the drinks I made my way over and gave them to Lucifer and Iza, and sat the furthest away from Chloe, as I knew I couldn't sit near her cause my anger would get the best of me. When Iza called me out on the fact I left Chloe without a drink, I shrugged cause I couldn't care less. The girl didn't deserve it. Okay maybe I was taking it to far, but my friend and roommate for the last few years, didn't accept my true self. It was upsetting.
When Iza returned I knew we were in for a rough night, so got myself comfortable. Let the show begin.
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.
Please leave a review as it promotes me to write. Leave any ideas of what could happen in the story. I have a basic idea for the story but it's nice to see your ideas.
This was more of filler chapter really, introducing all of the characters emotions and views and what not.
I'm definitely going to introduce the Cullens soon. Do you think Chloe and Izzy should learn to like each other, or shall the drama continue. Also do you like snobby and dramatic Chloe or not. I love hearing your thoughts on the story.
I am so sorry for the slow updates, I promise that I will try and update more but I didn't realise how much A-levels and sixth form would take up my time, that I just haven't had time to write.
Thank you to all those who review every single chapter and have followed the story it means a great deal. Thank you to everyone who reads the story it brightens my day.
Thanks
