Chloe's Pov
Pushing through the dancing crowd in the famous club Lux, bodies pressed closed to each other, a wave of anxiety hit me. Not because of the scene that unfolded in front of my eyes but the realization that this is the last day in Los Angeles for me, before I spend 3 weeks at my mother's house with Trixie. With every passing seconds my feet get heavier and heavier and I have to force myself to keep going. I really don't want to say goodbye to all of my friends, be thrown into the unknown, but this is clearly what's best for me. Since the night Lucifer killed Marcus and I was confronted with the "real" Lucifer I couldn't think straight anymore. Everyone around me thought I was not myself, urging me to take a break.
"You have just lost your ex fiancé, Chloe. Give yourself time to grief", they said. If they only knew that this wasn't the reason of my strange behaviour. It was Lucifer, it has always been Lucifer. When I saw his face I couldn't quite believe it, but at the same time I was filled with so much certainty. Just like I had already known deep down inside me that he was telling the truth. Lucifer didn't manage to get out a word before the backup arrived and neither did I. He called and texted several times afterwards, even showed up at my apartment but I begged for some time. I needed to think about it. From that moment on every little part of my brain was replaced, consumed by him, even more than it was before. Every little thing reminded me of him, his face and I needed to get away from all of it. Escape my thoughts. When my mother called and offered me and Trixie to stay at her place for a while it seemed like the right thing to do but it feels like I am about to make a big mistake. I am not used to running away from my problems. My father always told me to face my fears and to be brave but this time I just don't know how to face them. Face the man I was falling in love with, turns out to be the devil himself.
I take a deep breath and continue to push through the crowd. A few seconds later I make out my friends, sitting on a couch in the corner of the club and I freeze. Lucifer is there too. I walk through the crowd, hand trembling, feeling unsteady and reach the couch in just a few seconds. Everyone seems to be here today: Amenadiel engaged in a conversation with Linda, Maze and Ella loudly discussing whether you are allowed to stab someone and Dan looking at the bunch with a freaked out expression on his face. Lucifer is sitting next to him and he is the only one that has already noticed my arrival. His eyes are fixated on me, looking up and down at my body. It makes me uncomfortable but I can't seem to look away. There is something in his eyes that makes me lock mine with his. Even though noboy else won't probably see it doesn't mean I won't. He looks tired, drained even. I take a huge breath and swallow hard. „Chloe!", Ella's voice gets me back to reality and I flinch. Before I am able to reply the arms of the forensic scientist are already wrapped around me. "I'm so glad that you're here. It's time to celebrate before you leave to go on your 3 week vacation", she announces and finally lets go of me.
I sigh quiet. If I only would be in the mood to party… The only thing I want to do right now is crawl into my bed and sleep, until everything is okay again. I know that Ella is right. I should really enjoy tonight as I wont see any of them for the next 3 weeks. The least I can do is have a drink and talk with my friend before I leave town. I greet everyone else, and look for a available seat. My heart starts racing when I realize there is only one option. I should have known that Lucifer was going to be here. It is his club after all. The only seat that's not taken is next to the devil himself. Okay Chloe, calm down, I tell myself. I close my eyes for a second, trying to calm my nerves. I sit down next to him, my heart beating fast. I look at him from the corner of my eye, waiting for his reaction. I am met with a weak, defeated smile and I feel a sharp pain in my chest. Am I the reason he is so upset? Why can't everything be easier?! I nevoursly shift in my seat and pray that he doesn't notice my uncertainty. „I cant believe you are going to stay with your mum for this long. The best way to get over a man is to get laid by one", Maze argues smirking and I try to hide my blushing cheeks. I don't know whether it was the fact that all my friends still think this is about Marcus and I am lying to them or because Maze is just too straightforward. „Maze! She was engaged with that guy! Give her some space", Linda puts her into place and she just rolls her eyes in return. „I am fine. I just need to take a little break", I shrug it off and I can feel Lucifer's eyes burn on me.
He knows why I need a ‚break', why I am running away. I didn't think it would end this way after I told him I needed time and I am sure neither did he. I quickly excuse myself and walk to the bar to get myself something to drink. I take a quick look to my friends at the couch and when my eyes wander to Lucifer I am immediately taken back to the moment everything changed. "Miss, your beer", the bartender tells me. My heart is beating fast and I force a smile as the guy gives me a worried look. I grab the bottle and nervously bite my lip as I walk back to the booth. Here goes nothing. There is so little space on the couch it is literally impossible for our thighs not to touch. I sit back down and just as my leg brushes his, I feel Lucifer's body stiffen. He acts as if nothing happened and takes a sip of his whiskey. I take a sip of my drink as well, not knowing what else to do. Should I talk to him? The alcohol helps me to relax a little bit and to calm my endless thoughts. "So is Lucifer going to follow me around then?", Dan asks after a while. "Who says that I want to?", Lucifer argues and I have to hold back a giggle.
I didnt realize I have missed him and his Luciferness this much. "I talked to the captain and she would be okay with it unless you guys are", I reply and Dan rolls his eyes. "Well, he seems to do something right if you kept working with him", Dan jokes and without even meaning to, I turn my head to Lucifer. He is already watching me and I immediately feel my cheeks turning red. "Yeah", I stutter more to myself and Lucifer smiles in return. Why can't it always be like this? "Speaking of work, as you are going to leave us tomorrow and these two clowns have to work the case, I thought I would talk to you about something. Maybe you have an idea what it means because I am clueless", Ella tells me and I finally manage to turn away from Lucifer. "Shoot", I reply and she smiles. "Okay, so at the crime scene I found big white feathers covered in blood. I have never seen anything like this. They looked... angelic", she explains and I open my eyes wide. I can see Maze's expression change as well and my thoughts are going crazy, trying to make sense of this. Lucifer's body tenses even more next to mine and it clicks. Whatever these are, they are somehow connected to Lucifer. "No idea", I stutter and take a quick look at Lucifer. What does Lucifer have to do with those feathers? He is the devil after all. There is something in his eyes which I can't make out, something he is not willing to show me and this for whatever reason freaks me out.
It feels like someone has sucked out all the oxygen of this room and I am gasping for air. Lucifer puts his hand on my thigh, trying to calm me but unfortunately it has the completely opposite effect. I panic even more and before I even realize I am up on my feet, running towards the exit. There are too many dancing people everwhere and I can't find the door. The only thing that does come into my sight is the elevator which leads up to the penthouse. I need some air, calm down and be alone for a while, so this is the best option for me. I rush towards the doors, heart beating fast, breathing heavily. I quickly press the button and get into the elevator as quickly as possible. I need to get out of here.
