A kiss under the Velvet Moon

To go or not to go?

Gina nodded in understanding and withdrew herself from the conversation.

" I think I am going to grab a shower, we will continue this later. You know I want you there Elias, but it is hell and I don't really want to put you in that kind of situation. "

Gina quietly led herself to the shower, closing the bathroom door behind her. She didn't make a smart remark, or even try to get naked infront of me. That was definitely not like Grey, she always had some naughty comment waiting to escape her lips.

I on the other hand had alot to think about .

The story was so unfinished for what I got to hear about His, the fallen ones story. There were so many holes in it, like where he went after he fell, what he did to become who he became. I had a chance to talk to him as a father of two daughters, would he be the person the world had made him out to be or would he be even worse? Did I even want to meet this man, I guess he shouldn't be put in that category, more like evil demonic being.

" Maybe he could explain why I was they way I was? " I stomped my feet on he dark hard wood on the floor and paced back and forth.

He might have all the answers I seek ?

But Alexandria never said anything about this man!

In my dream or whatever consciousness I was apart of, she

said to follow the man who I seek, from the live computer feed, Mr. anonymous. My vision with my darling late wife had nothing to do with Satan and everything to do with what I must.

I guess it would have to be a decision I thought long and hard about, I mean he did have some of my blood.

What would someone like him even want with it ?

Maybe someone was owed a favor for thier soul ? Maybe, I was the reason someone got to live and another die ?

Whatever the case, there wasn't anything I could do about it, as I was completely f**king incapacitated.

The two girls made a deal with the devil, without my permission and I had already payed the price in full.

" Okay, so I thought it through Elias! "

Grey stood infront of me, beads of water still dripping down her completely nude body. Her figure was slender and curvy, her torso was long and toned, she looked like a model right out of a sports magazine.

Dancers generally had kick ass figures, they had to have supreme upper body strength to keep ahold of the pole.

I had to appreciate that about her, not that I entirely believed in the art of striping, it was a beautiful art form, and Gina made it look easy. I just hated how men sexualized young intelligent women by having them sell themselves short.

Men treated them like a piece of half chewed up meat, while other waited for a chance at taking the next bite. I applauded them for taking men's money, if a man was pathetic enough to believe in such fantasies, they might as well lose everything in their wallets.

I truly despised, these desperate weenies, I can't believe they thought they had even a small chance with such a beautiful women. No normal human being wanted to be treated like prize to be won.

I knew for a fact that the girls thought very lowly for most of the people they performed for.

That's all it was a an over-inflated, performance.

I let my eyes linger on the tight toned abs, and then closed in on her ample rounds forms, before settling my gaze on her light blue round spheres. She was a gorgeous specimen of a woman but nothing compared to my Alexia.

My viewing pleasure became immediately interrupted, as a damp towel came flying at my face. Her hair was now hanging wet along her back and chest and her expression was dim.

" Um, hello, earth to Eli " She hissed, " My face is up here, it's not like you haven't seen me naked at least a half a dozen times."

I swiftly pushed the white wet bath towel to the floor, insisting I wasn't looking at her breasts.

I was distinctively admiring her physical form and, well, she was quite stunning.

Of course she didn't believe one single word I said but that's okay she could think want she wanted, it wasn't like I could win an argument with her. She could be a stuck up bi*ch when she wanted and well she knew she looked good, regardless on which word I used to hyper inflate her, already inlarged head.

Gina pulled a pale pink cotton v-neck over her head and then pulled on a pair of black leggings.

I followed her in the main room of my apartment. She sat on a swivel leather chair at the bar. Crossing her legs she waited silently as she motioned me to sit beside her.

" So, I had a vision when I was," I paused for a second before continued. " Where ever I was, I saw my wife ! "

Grey's eye brow shot up and she turned her attention towards me.

" She thinks I should seek the man, who was on the radio feed. I really think he might help me, understand why, I am who I am."

I pressed my feet firmly to the floor as I swiveled my chair back and forth.

" I think your perfect the way you are Elias, but if you need to find out who you are and why you are the way you are, I understand. " Grey nodded and patted my shoulder.

" I need to go see my mother for a few days." Grey stood up from her bar stool and walked around the back.

Grasping two small crystal glasses, she poured a small amount of malt liquor into the rocks tumblers.

Before she sat back down she placed the drinks before us and took a long sip.

" I have an idea, what if you came with me ?

I mean we'd be literally visiting hell, so it wouldn't be a joke when someone told you to go there." Gina snickers making a sound between her lips and continued.

" You could then simply answer, " I've already been there, f you!" She let out a giggle before, griping her glass and taking another drink.

" I am very serious, you know but on a serious note, hell is nothing the way you may perceive it to be and neither is my step father.

It is not much different then Earth really. There are several different sectors. We are going into the first plane, which is no different then here, other then the sun is blood red."

Grey held onto her glass, slowly taking small sips from the edge.

" Funny! I would have never thought, I would ever be going down there. " Pointing my finger the floor, I indicated where "there" might be.

There , was far far down below, where demons lie and dark things fly.

I continued," I mean, because of who I am, I figured I'd make it there someday but never thought it would be while I was still alive."

I took a sip of my amber gold colored liquor.

" Got nothing better to do, I suppose you and I, are going to hell.

I only have one question though, how the hell do we get to hell ? Is it there a gate we have to go through? Or perhaps a cave? "

I was really at a loss, this was never something I would have ever imagined happening.

Grey's mom having a daughter, with " the evil one", was even more mind boggling.

I mean, who in their right mind would ever want to go there ?

Especially since well, it was the place of night mare's, no man would ever venture but then again, I was no normal man, I suppose.

A shiver ran down my spine, as I shook the thought away.

I was no man, for all I knew he already held my very soul in his hands?

I guess I wouldn't have much to loose, that I hadn't already lost already but

what the f**k was I about to get myself into?

I shuddered at the thought.

" Hell, " Grey began, " Is not what you think Eli, it's literally here on earth, at least the first level. It, always has been !

Lucifer, is a very smart, cunning, and well rather self absorbed.

It's crazy to believe but it is the truth! Unless you were dead, or in one of his elusive nightmares, you will never truly know " hell" until you become " his".

You have too big of a heart Elias to have totally lost yours. Your soul, however much is left.." Grey rose to her feet and placed an almost empty drink on to bar.

Two long sun kissed, arms reached around my wide shoulders and hugged me from behind. I could feel her breast pressing into my back.

Both her slender hands rested right in the place where my heart resided, one that had not beaten in over a hundred years.

" Elias Your heart might be not be working right but I know it's there below your chest. You love more, then anyone I've ever met.

Your soul, is still inside, it never left you, other wise, why care? ."

I then felt the air leave me, my lungs gasping. I'd forgotten to breathe, being so absorbed in her words.

She'd never talked so tenderly before, the only thing that usually came out her mouth, was a sarcastic comment.

I took a much need breath and turned in my swivel bar stool and pressed my lips onto hers.

There was no need for a reason, it was the only way I knew, no words were needed and she knew exactly what I was saying.

Thank you, for caring... but I think your wrong.

The thought lingered in the back of my mind as my lips tasted the alcohol still lingering on her lips.
