The Engagement.

2310 Words
Lisa has been invited back to earth by Michael. She must prove to Lucifer that he might be underestimating her. She finds herself speaking to a man who reveals very shocking news but giving an idea for her to crush the engagement. "Why do you think Aurora wants to marry Matt?" Lisa asked the man in front of her. The man looked to be very depressed by the fact that his best friend was marrying a woman who is pregnant with his baby. "I don't know really. Matt loves her but she says she really enjoys being around me. Last we went on a vacation only the two of us. She had to lie that her grandma was sick and she had to take care of her." It might be a way of winning this but what the man was telling her , she didn't approve. She asked why would he do such a thing to his best friend? Why would this woman even cheat on this man like that? Then she remembered Aurora is just a con artist who's marrying Matt for his money. She's very consistent for a con artist to wait the whole year for a man to finally propose to her. Was he that worth it? Or maybe he was just too hard to convince. "Well I don't know why aren't you doing anything about this. I mean if it was me I wouldn't want any other man to raise my child." She said. The man seems to think about it for a second. "What do you know? You're just a child." He pointed out. Lisa had already forgotten that she merely resembled a teenager. "Maybe I am. But I'm old enough to know that being raised by a man who's not your biological father ain't cool. Not all step fathers are capable of loving a child they didn't give birth to." "Matt also doesn't want a women with children. I don't think he would like to raise my child." He says disappointed. " And how would you feel seeing your best friend raising your child?" He looks at him but he only looks away. The thought didn't really sit him well but it felt like there's no hope. "What can I do?" Lisa couldn't believe he was asking a teenager for advice. How desperate is he for someone to listen? That he could completely vent out to a stranger and at worse a teenager. "Ask her to marry you instead." Lisa suggested. " No I can't do that. How can I betray my friend like that. Matt is my trusted employee and what kind of working environment would I be setting for him as his boss?" He said. Lisa was surprised that the man was Matt's boss. That made her plan even better. She knew Aurora was going to choose the wealthier man. "Boss?" Lisa looks at him with amusement. " I'm the CEO of the company he works for. We have been working together for a while now." " Does Aurora know?" She asked him. "Well the topic never really came up but I'm assuming she knows." The man said. " Believe me if she knew, you would be the one kneeling on one knee today." Lisa said but in her mind. " Well it doesn't really matter you're doing this for your unborn child. He must understand that people makes mistakes and you're not perfect too. I'm sure he'll come around." She assured him but he still didn't fully commit. " No I don't know about this.." He spoke hesitant. " I think Aurora would rather marry you. Poor woman could be out there thinking you don't care about her and that angel she's carrying." She tried to persuade the man. " I care for both of them." He cried. " Well if you did you would run in the and make her the happiest girl on earth. Make her know her and her child will be taken care of. You said it yourself she enjoys being around you." She said. As he took her words to consideration she could see him easing to her plan. Lisa even wanted to smile a little. "What about the ring though?" He asked. Then Lisa realized she might not have thought this all the way through. After all they had no ring. Aurora wouldn't believe a man without a bug diamond ring. "Can't you organize something last minute?"Lisa asked with all hope lost. Hit by realization the man reached out to his pocket and come with something in his hand. "Do you think this will do?" He shoved to her face a very expensive looking ring. Is this man a magician? She wanted to ask. "This was my mother's before she passed away in a car accident a few months ago. I carry it with me all the time, it really reminds me of her sweet angelic self." " I'm very sorry to hear that." Her heart broke but she was happy at the same time. She knew her plan is in the verge of working. She wanted to even thank the man deeply. "Don't be. She really lived her life to the fullest." His warm smile spreads across his face. "That ring looks very expensive." She pointed out. " Yes it is. My mother really loved expensive jewelry. This is the most expensive in her collection." The man looks deeply at the ring in his palm. Lisa didn't like the idea of him giving his most prized possession to Aurora but Lucifer owing her a favor could come in handy. "I think Aurora would really appreciate this ring." She said. " I think so too. I once saw admiring one of these and I think she really wanted one." He said. Lisa's plan was already going perfectly and what she wanted was already going to be. Then at their dismay their here commotion inside the house. A lady was yelling very angrily. Her and the man they both rushed inside the house. "What do you mean you lost the ring!" The lady yelled at her top of her lungs. It's Aurora yelling at Matt. Lisa couldn't help but thank Michael or Dina for making the ring disappear. "I don't know. I had it in me and now it's gone. But I promise I'll get you another one." The man pleaded. " Now this is your chance." Lisa nudged the man who was standing terrified next to her. "I'm not sure. This seems like a bad time." He was almost shaking in fear. " Believe me..this is the perfect time." Lisa starts pushing him towards the couple. "You know you're such an irresponsible man! How can you lose a ring so expensive!" The lady was burning red in anger. Everyone else was watching them like a movie. Next to the commotion she could see Lucifer and Micheal giving each other daggers. "Do it!" Lisa gave the man one last push. He moves forward pushing through the crowd. "Aurora I know this is so sudden." He said bringing silence across the room and everyone surprised. "Athan what are doing here? I thought you said you were not coming." Matt asked shocked as anyone else. "I'm here to take what's rightfully mine." He responded. " What are you talking about man?" Matt is even more confused than before. "Yeah Athan what are talking about?" Aurora looks at Athan shocked. Realizing what's happening Lucifer's eye meet Lisa's. She didn't like the mischievous smile on his face as he did. What could be this demon be up to? Besides her Athan was already kneeling in one knee taking out the ring. Everyone gasps in disbelief even Matt and Aurora. "What are you doing Athan?" Aurora asked. "Yeah what are you doing man?" Matt glared at him. " I wanna be there for you and our child. Would please marry me?" Everyone in confusion, dumbfounded. They didn't understand what was going on. Is this a joke? Some even wondered. "Child? Aurora what is this man talking about?" Matt was already raging in anger. Aurora of cause noticed the expensive ring. Her eyes were glistening, she wanted it , she craved it and it was right there calling her name. "I'm sorry man. I hope this doesn't complicate things between us." He apologetically looks at Matt who was flipping in rage. "Was this your plan?! To take her away from me? I trusted you man. We were supposed to be best friends and you went on stabbing me behind my back."Matt starts yelping in anger. " This is not like that." Athan replied. "It is like that. Just because you're my boss and richer than me you think you can steal my woman?" Matt yelled. " Boss? You're Matt's boss? I thought he was the CEO." Aurora was even more amused right realizing how Athan rich he is. She glares at a girl standing helpless across the room. It must be her daughter in crime. "I hope this isn't weird but I would really love to start a family with you." Athan said to Aurora. After long observation Lisa realized what was happening, why Lucifer was smiling. They were controlling their minds and were telling them what to say. Lisa didn't even know they had that power but she wasn't surprised either. She knew she couldn't help though since was still new at all this. But the engagement is already ruined, what more do they want. Why are they still going like this? But Lisa was not determined to give up and she looks around the room she knew exactly what to do. While they are busy controlling the humans like they are puppets they won't noticed what she was up. Lisa walks up to the stage and held the mic into her mouth. "Ahhh!!!" She starts screaming grabbing all the attention in the room. "Wesley in disguise!! Ahhh!!" She screamed as she pointed at Lucifer. "Can you please give me your autograph!!" She screamed again through the mic. Then a huge amount of people come crushing towards him and he loses focus. Lisa winked at Michael and he continues with his work. "Yes, I'll marry you!!" Aurora yelled and accepted the ring. Everyone starts clapping and congratulating the both of them and some people kept bugging Lucifer s***h Wesley for autographs. It's not Lisa's fault he almost looked like the artist she spotted on the poster on the DJs booth. Excited Lisa jumps off the stage. He meets Micheal at the crowd and turns around to Lucifer's face. She only winks at him and both her and Micheal walked out of the house. "Is it safe to leave them inside?" Lisa asked. " The task is over and he lost. What ever he does now wouldn't count." Michael smiled at her. Lisa felt proud she was able to prove herself. "The engagement was already falling apart, why did you guys still continue?" Curiousity overpowered her. " Marriage is not just about the ring. They can get engaged and get the ring after. Remember the girl wanted money so she could still agree and continue to corn him. The task was to stop Aurora from conning Matt but it didn't say anything about Athan though." He nudged Lisa with a mischievous smile. "So now we have to go back?" Lisa looks at him to send them back to Nivana. "We still have some time. Would you like to stick around a bit." He asked and she was more than happy to hear that. "Of cause." She answered without even thinking twice about it. "Well then follow me." He stops a car and they went inside. The ride was silent and it dropped her in a very beautiful cenema. "One of my favorite spots here on earth." He said. " You won't believe how much I missed TV." Lisa said back to him. They went inside and Michael was to persuade them to let them in. They watched the movie and was pretty fun and enjoyable. Lisa felt home after a very long time. She doesn't believe how much she missed this place. After the movie they go walk around the streets. "Thank you for bringing me out here." Lisa smiled deeply. " I'm glad you liked my gift to you. Maybe we can do this more often. It felt amazing spending time with you." He looks at Lisa his eyes boring through hers. She felt a twist in her stomach and tingles all over her body. She couldn't unsee the beautiful site in front of her. He might look a different man but Lisa could still see his golden eyes glistening beyond. They leaned closer to each and when their lips were only few inches from each other an angry voice yelled at them. Lisa turned to see Lucifer walking with Dina and Hecate. They all looking like three burning fires. "Shouldn't we getting back?" Lucifer yelled. " What, you need me to baby sit you? Can't you go back on your own." Michael charges angrily towards him. " Well it seemed like you forgetting your girlfriend is just a human." Lucifer gritted his teeth. The two man were ready to take each other Headon. "You're such a sore loser." Lisa intervened. " Shut up if you don't want any trouble!" Lucifer glared burning with anger, he was about to explode. "You leave her alone if you don't me breathing down your neck." Michael threatened back. "oooooh I'm so scared." He mocked him. " Empty promises." He says. "The only empty thing here is that stubborn head of yours." Michael snapped back. " Cute.. very cute. Don't remember you owe me." Lisa reminded him. After it felt awesome to have Lucifer owe you a favor. "Nick." Lisa whispered mischievously in his ear.
