Lucifer's Angel

CHAPTER 2: APOLOGIES

LUCY.

I just stayed inside my room from the time we arrived our house.

Gosh! I wonder how’s Lucifer doing now.. He was slapped and punched twice… my poor Lucifer T-T

I don’t know why I got upset with Angela. Maybe because she hurt my Lucifer, but at the back of my mind I know that it’s not just that. Maybe I got a little jelly because of the attention that Lucifer gave her. When Angela called his name, he turned around and even stared at her. He never stared so endearingly at anyone before!

Is it because he finds Angela beautiful?

No way! Hubby doesn’t like girls wearing cheap clothes! Well, I’m not saying that bestfriend is cheap but…

***

                “ Mr. Pablo, can we drop by Lucifer’s house before going to school?” I told the driver.

                “ Sure, Miss Lucy.”

I think Lucifer wasn’t terribly hurt. He’s been into bigger troubles and fights before but look at him, he’s still handsome as ever!

I know that my hubby is somehow a trouble-maker type of guy but I don’t worry that much because I know how good he is when it comes to defending himself. He’s sooo good almost at everything. He’s good at gun shooting, swimming, archery, acting, playing piano and violin, and he’s also good at cooking! HE’S SO PERFECT!

                “ Miss Lucy, we’re at Mr. Moden’s Mansion already.” My driver informed me.

                “ okay, just wait for me here.” I said as I stepped outside the car.

An enormous mansion. Actually mansion is not what you call it. It’s like a castle that you can watch from some Disney movies. Maze garden, wide steppes, a fountain in the middle, huge pine trees, roses everywhere, and ofcourse an enormous palace with so many guardsmen surrounding it.

                “Goodmorning, Miss Lucy.” The maids and butler greeted me with a curtsy when I finally arrived inside.

                “ where’s tita Melody?” I asked them

                “ she’s inside her garden, Miss Lucy.”

                “ okay, thanks.”

Since I already memorized every corner of their mansion, I went straight to tita Melody’s super-duper big and enchanting garden. She loves growing flowers especially white roses that’s why she decided to have a flower shop.

                “ Uh… tita?”

Wearing a white elegant halter dress and a flower crown on his head, tita Melody turned around and looked at me.

                “ Lucy?”

I nodded and smile.

                “ Goodmorning tita .”

                “ Lucy! Gosh I’m so glad to see you!” she happily said then hugged me.

                “ Me too tita..”

I can smell the fragrance of her silky long blonde hair as I hug her back.

                “ By the way, what brought you here sweetheart?” she softly asked.

                “ Uh.. n-nothing tita.. I just want to ask if Lucifer is okay after what happened yesterday..” I almost whispered the last line.

                ‘ Oh, you mean about the fight?” she asked as if she already know what exactly I’m talking about.

                “ H-how did you know tita?” I asked her, skeptically.

She heaved a sigh before answering me.

                “ Oh come on honey, Lucifer is used of being involve in big fights that’s why it doesn’t surprise me anymore seeing him coming home with bruises. But actually, I can’t help but to worry sometimes because, what if he gets into a fight with high-profile men or even with a serial killer? Gosh I can’t lose my one and only son!” she exclaimed placing her hands on her mouth.

                “ Don’t worry tita, I’m sure that will never happen. Lucifer is so good at defending himself that’s why you don’t have to worry anymore tita Melody.”

                “ Oh Lucy… thanks for saying those things to pamper me.. Wait, don’t you have classes today?” she asked while squinting at her silver wristwatch.

                “ we have tita..”

                “ OMG! You have to go now! I don’t want you to be late, go! Take care sweetie!” she suddenly said while gently pushing me to the exit of her garden.

                “ o-okay tita…”

I waved a goodbye then marched towards the enormous door of their mansion.

I wasn’t able to see Lucifer T__T

ANGELA.

The class is about to start but Lucy’s still not here..

Will she skip the class?

I know she got mad at me because I hurt Lucifer. I understand how she felt but I just can’t help myself whenever I see someone trying to hurt her..

I never want Lucy to get mad at me T—T . Maybe I shouldn’t have punched Lucifer.

After few minutes the class has started already.

Maybe Lucy’s not going to attend the class and it’s my fault. I should go to their house after the class and apologize to her. I’ll tell her that I would do anything just for her to forgive me.. I love Lucy so much. Not just because she’s the reason why I was able to study here at Chasung High without working as a school waitress or a librarian or because she gave me a decent job as a waitress of their coffee shop for me to be able to sustain the needs of my siblings. I love Lucy not just because I need her, I love her as a friend. A bestfriend. Lucy and Rafael are the ones who’s been there for me from the start. I never felt lonely because they’re always there.

                ‘Goodmorning Mr. Moden and M-Miss Lucy…”

My gaze darted on the door as soon as I heard Lucy’s name.

Lucifer is our classmate too? But I didn’t see him attend the class yesterday.

 He walked towards the end of the room and sat on the chair at the last row near the window. Then Lucy came after him. Wearing a bright smile on her face, she sat down on the seat beside mine. When she noticed that I was looking at her, she changed her smile into an emotionless face.

She’s still mad at me >____LUCY.

Lucifer had an accident inside an elevator when he was eight years old. Since that particular incident, he never rode an elevator then. And so am I. I started hating elevators ever since my mom told me about that. That’s why even if we have elevators here at Chasung High, I never rode one no matter how late am I or no matter how tired my legs are.

Our classroom is located on the fifth floors so it’s really tiring to use the stairs but I don’t mind it. Also because there’s a higher chance for me to see Lucifer if I use those stairs ^____^

The smell of   a men’s perfume wafted through the air.

Clive Christian No. 1 Imperial Majesty. I know that perfume. And I know who exactly uses that particular scent.

I was surprised when I turn around only to see a Greek God-like man walking upstairs.

Oh My Gosh this is what I’m talking about.

I just stared at him with awe as he strode past me.

                “P-Prince Lucifer!” I called out.

My hands are shaking and my lips are trembling.

He spun around and met my gaze.

OMG THIS IS IT.

                “ U-uh…A-about what happened yesterday…”

                “ who the hell are you?” he asked.

He’s not good at memorizing names and even faces.

                “I’m Lucy Chasung. Uh.. I just want to apologize for.. w-what happened yesterday..”

He looks at me with confusion as if he has no idea what I’m talking about.

                “ Angela.. the girl who p-punched you… she’s my bestfriend.” I almost whispered.

                “ THAT RETARDED WOMAN?! WHERE THE HELL IS SHE HUH?!!” he shouted.

                “ I-I don’t know .. that’s why I’m the one who’s apologizing for what she did..”

                “ I don’t need your f*****g apology. Tell that damn woman not to show her face again if she still wants to live!!”

After yelling at me, he pivoted and continue walking.

I ran after him without him noticing.

Walking beside him makes me feel like I’m his girlfriend >//////////ANGELA

The class is now over and everyone dashed off the room except the three of us. I mean, four because Lucifer is also here.

                “ Bestfriend, we’ll just wait for you outside okay?” Lucy said then clutched her bag.

                “ Huh? Why do we have to wait for her? Aren’t she leaving too?” Rafael asked, with a puzzled look on his face.

                “ Uh.. I still have something to do.. But it’ll only take at least five minutes, I guess..^__^” I reasoned out.

                “ She’s right. So we better go now Raffy.” Lucy added tugging Rafael’s hands.

                “ If it’ll take only five minutes, then let’s just wait for her.”

                “ N-no It’s fine. You can wait for me outside.”

                “ Ugh Raffy don’t be so bull-headed ! Come on, we’ll just wait for her outside. Bye Bestfriend!”

I let out a deep sigh as they finally stepped outside.

We didn’t tell Rafael about it. We know him well and we know that if we did tell him, he’ll end up asking us not to do it. I don’t want him to worry about me too..

I got nervous when I realized why am I here.

I’m so scared  >__.<

He took a step forward so I took a step back.

                “ YOU’RE THAT RETARDED WOMAN WHO PUNCHED ME YESTERDAY, RIGHT?” he asked while walking towards me.

                “ Uh.. Y-yes. A-actually the reason why I’m here is—

                “ YOU STILL HAVE THE GUTS TO SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME?!” he growled.

Wrath is all-over his face.

He’s like a demon ready to slay and burn me alive.

Dreadful.

                “ I w-was just too carried away by my emotions yesterday.. I-I’m really sorry..” I apologized. “Sorry for what I have done to you yesterday. I-I just want to protect my f-friends …”

                “ I DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR f*****g REASONS! AND DO YOU THINK I’LL SPARE YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU APOLOGIZED?! HUH?!” he howled right on my face.

His voice echoed through the whole room. Or the whole school I guess.

I haven’t notice that I reached the wall by my countless step-backs. Now I’m cornered by him. I have nowhere to go now.

He grabbed me on my collar and lift me from the ground using only his left hand.

                “L-Lucifer…”

                “ YOU’RE DEAD. YOU STUPID ASSHOLE!!”

He put his right hand up and balled it into a fist ready to land on my face.

I closed my eyes.

Lord, please always guide my siblings and let them have a bright future.

I hope they could grow up as kind and happy adults even if I’m not around. Even if I won’t be able to take care of them from now on..

I love you so much Mary and Hercules.. Mama will always watch you up there..

Mama.. Papa…  Finally, we could get together agai---

“ GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER YOU ASSHOLE!”

Am I dreaming? Did I just hear the voice of Rafael? Maybe I’m already dead and they already found my lifeless body. I will miss you Rafael and Lucy.. I love you guys so much…

                “ANGELA!”

I opened my eyes and saw Rafael as his fist landed on Lucifer’s face.
