Hey, Luci

Strange Feelings

Shairelyn and her family are sitting around their living room. They are going to count their saved earnings for today. And they are all happy when they saw the brown box full of paper bills and coins.

“We are so blessed today!” Sian exclaimed.

“That’s right.” Seth agreed. “It is because of our Princess!”

Shaire giggled. “Well, I have my lucky charm.”

They laughed together as they thought that Shaire’s lucky charm is their father. But, little did they know that her lucky charm is a hot demon guy.

The Family Gosimo have saved trice of their previous earnings today. The continuous wave of customers a while ago brought them this high amount of income. Their mother gave half of the money to Shairelyn for she is the one behind that success. But the kind lady suggested that they will be going to deposit it to the bank as their savings. And they all agreed with what she said.

Lucifer is satisfied with the progress of Hell Island. There are now cabins, small bars, and resorts that are well arranged in their respective areas. His mansion is now halfway to be done and sooner or later, it will be fully accomplished. But before anything else, he will be going to think about how will they going to put that island in the human system or records. He is planning on making it invisible and prohibited in all humans. But, he didn’t know how to do it. So, he called someone that he thought that can help him. He snapped his fingers and whispered the name of the devil. Then, several minutes later, a portal appeared in front of him, and a demon with red hair, no shirt but have denim red pants with brownish skin and amber eyes comes out of it.

“Lucifer.” he greeted him.

The King nodded. “Hello, Ukobach.”

Ukobach nodded back at him as respect. Lucifer motioned his secretary to sit in the opposite wooden chair near him. The demon obeyed and sat silently in front of him. Ukoback is looking at him quietly waiting for his words.

He cleared his throat. “How can we put this island under us in the mortal world system?”

“I think, you need to show yourself to them and pretend to be a successful businessman. Then, you and the leader of the states where the island is located will have a discussion on the terms and conditions in buying this island. Then, give them money and that's it.” Ukobach explained.

Lucifer frowned. “That's a lot of things to do.”

“Indeed. But that is the legal way of claiming this island.” the secretary agreed.

“Let's go to the illegal, then.” the boss grinned.

Ukobach sighed. “We will going to manipulate the human leader so, he will willingly give this island to you.”

Luci nodded. “That’s easy.”

“When will we do it?” the secretary asked.

Luci shrugged. “You will do it. I’m busy.”

Ukobach nodded. “Okay. I will do it now.”

The boss clapped his hands. “Perfect! You are the best, Ukobach.”

The disappointed demon just nodded at his boss. He already knew that this will going to happen. Everyone in the underworld knows that their King is as lazy as the demon of sloth. So, he understands him very well. Ukobach bowed his head and without any words, he disappeared in the thin air.

Shairelyn is happily sitting in a wooden chair in their kitchen. She is reading a novel about an aspiring chef. She has finished her works and now it's time for her to take a rest. Today is a usual day for them. Her two brothers are at work and her mother is in the bakery. There is no huge wave of customers so, she can chill while waiting for all of her bread to be sold.

As Hell’s secretary do all the job that is supposedly for the King, Lucifer is now chilling under the sun. He is laying on a comfy oval-shaped couch near the seaside bar at Hell Island. Luci has a fresh coconut juice in his left hand and sips it while watching the ocean with his black sunglasses.

The construction of Hell Island is almost done. In a couple of days, a simple but great civilization of devils is finally made in the human realm. It is as cool and beautiful as Boracay of the Philippines and as happy and unique as Hawaii.

“Hello, honey.”

A blonde, sexy and beautiful devil appeared in front of him. She is so gorgeous in her red fitted spaghetti strapped dress, matching with her heels.

“Hecate. What brings you here?” Luci asked.

The girl giggled. “I was just thinking that we can play here on the island. I don’t mind whether it's in the sand, rock, or water. As long as you’re the one banging me so f*cking good.”

 The King looked at her. He can't deny the fact that the devil lady is more attractive and hot than hundreds of mortal girls and demons. Hecate is the star of Hell and most of the gammas want to taste her. But luckily, he is the only one that can tame the feral demon lady.

While looking at the sexy girl in front of him, Lucifer’s brain jumped up to the little memories of the human girl. He frowned and tried to wipe away those thoughts but, they can't erase them.

“What’s wrong?” Hecate asked.

“Nothing. I’m not in the mood today so, get out of my sight.” Luci answered.

Hecate sighed and walked away. She has no other choice. If their boss wants her gone, she needs to obey and make that happen.

Lucifer took his fresh coconut juice and sipped on its straw. The cold and refreshing drink cant help him push away his thoughts so, he throws them away to the sand. The King stood up and went to the big rock near the seashore then, without any hesitation, he jumped out to the cold blue sea.

Shairelyn looked in all the corners of the kitchen, living room, and her bedroom. She is hoping to see a lazy demon laying or sitting somewhere in their house but found nothing. The girl is now getting too used to the demon’s presence and now she’s looking for him. Unfortunately, the King of the Underworld is not there.

Droplets of water are dripping over his clothes and body when Lucifer walks out of the sea waves. The few gamma demons are frowning and stopped in their tracks when they saw him. They are probably thinking that their boss is crazy for jumping on the big rock. But, Lucifer doesn't give them any attention at all. He just keep on walking to the sand and after several minutes, he vanished in thin air.

Lucifer returned to his den in the Underworld with a whirlpool of emotions and ideas in mind. He changed his clothes and after that, he tossed himself to the bed. It is still daytime so, his ceiling is as clear as the skies in the human world with clouds, sun, and flying birds. He just lay there flatly while looking at his masterpiece.

“What the f*ck is happening with me?” he asked.

He has this strange feeling that leads him on missing the mortal girl and an irritating voice in his head saying that he needs to go up and see her. But his pride and ego don't want him to do that. His mind is in chaos right now and Luci needs someone to talk to. Thinking about the six mutts that might help him is a no, no. The chance of getting pissed and more headaches is a thousand percent if the mutts join him. So, he stood up and went to his penthouse on the rooftop of the palace.

Lucifer is sitting comfortably on a cushion sunlounger while sipping on his red wine when a portal appeared beside him and an elegant woman comes out. She has long white hair up to her waist and a grayish-white long gown. The girl has a gray blindfold that covers her eyes and a silver staff in her left hand. It is a long stick or metal pole that has a hook or curved edge at the top.

“Lucifer.” the girl said.

“Take a seat, Shalbriri,” Luci demanded.

Shalbriri is the demon of blindness. She is the calmest devil of all demons and the adviser or consultant for all who are depressed and stressed. She can make someone blind in an instant.

The devil girl obeyed and sat on the other sunlounger beside him. Shalbriri’s eyes are closed and divine. She can open it when it's needed. Her eyes can see sorrows, death, fears, and souls that she can manipulate and control to be blinded by love, anger, and many more. She can see someone’s fortune, the present, and the past. That is why she needs a blindfold to protect and treasure her abilities and power. But, despite that, she can move freely just like the others.

“What’s the problem? I can feel your uneasiness and clouded thoughts.” Shalbriri said.

Luci sighed. “I don’t know what the hell is happening to me. It all started when I saw the girl in the mortal world.”

“You are attracted to her.” the girl giggled.

“No! I am the King of the Underworld and I am never be attracted to some low and filthy human like her.” the king hissed.

Shalbriri laughed. “That’s the problem. You keep on denying it. As long as you are fighting your urges, you can't find peace in your mind and heart. It's like an animal. When you keep on torturing it in a cage, it will keep fighting and causing troubles just to be free. So, if you keep on denying the fact that you are attracted to her, it will eat you alive.”

“I don’t understand. I am a King and she is just a human.” Luci grunted.

Shalbriri stood up. “There are no boundaries when destiny and fate joined forces to mess up someone's lives.”

As soon as the demon of blindness stood up, a portal slowly opened on her back. So, when she finally finishes her words, Shalbriri just stepped back into the portal and disappeared.

Lucifer is frustrated. If he relied on what Shalbriri said then, why do fate and destiny do that ridiculous thing to him? And now another question just added in his collection of ideas circling in his head. He thought that asking the demon of blindness for help is a bad idea.

The tiny bakery of the Gosimo family is successful. They keep on having customers from the morning till night. It is not that much but, still counted as an achievement. Shairelyn feels bored and keeps on looking for any signs of the demon everywhere in their house but still found nothing. She has nothing to do and the King’s presence and rude attitude make her happy and occupied all day. Then again, not today. So, she spent her day reading, experimenting with some new specialties, and laying on her bed. Shaire wishes to see him again tomorrow.

Lucifer is still in his penthouse when Leviathan appeared. The envy demon leans his back on the railings while facing his boss. Then, another mutt appeared with a big bowl of food in his arms.

“What are you two mutts doing here?” Luci asked.

Leviathan shrugged. “I just want to chill. I didn’t know that you are here. I thought that you’re in the mortal realm.”

“I need a good view while eating.” the demon of gluttony answered.

“I am not buying that stupid reasons of the both of you. What do you want?” their boss grunted.

“I am going to ask you if I have a big kitchen in my area in Hell Island. If none, can I have your consent?” Beelzebub said.

“You can ask the gammas who are in charge of constructing your house to do that,” Luci replied.

The demon with a large tattoo beamed. “Thank you!” Then, he vanished.

Lucifer sighed after the King of food disappeared. Then, he looked at the demon of envy and rose his right brow at him.

Leviathan cleared his throat. “I need your permission to do some changes in my designated portion as well.”

Luci nodded. “Okay. Do what you want.”

Leviathan smiled and vanished in a second like the demon of gluttony. Lucifer shook his head and sighed after the silence filled the surroundings again. He is now alone again. He sipped his red wine and looked at the flames around the underworld.

“I am a King. I don’t need that filthy human,” he whispered.
