It had been a wild day for everyone on the Trauma team at the Cedar-Sinai ER department. There was a multi-collusion accident on the 405 freeway this morning. The trauma team attended 10+ hours surgeries and tried to save the victims. Luckily, every patients that were admitted, survived; now they currently in recovery.
The doctor closed his patient's chart as he just completed the post-op notes.
"Thank you" he said as he handed the chart to the nurse behind the counter.
"No problem, do you have plan tonight? Dr. Morningstar." the nurse caringly asked
Lucifer let out a big exhale before answered "Yes, unfortunately my day has not end yet. My brother has an engagement party today. As his best-man, I have to go entertain his guests like a money-that I am."
The nurse giggled and nodded her head in acknowledgement. Take his cue, Lucifer turned his heel and began to walk away.

Everyone nearby could hear the rings. "That was not from me" The nurse with her hand up in defend. Lucifer stopped on his track and took out the pager. - Brother, where are you? You promised you would come - Amenadiel.
Lucifer glanced at his watch - 8:30PM. Shit he said he would be there at 7PM. Oh well, being a surgeon had its problem too. He pulled out his phone. "On my way! Brother, Pager number is for emergency only" Lucifer stopped by the locker and quickly changed out the dirty scrub for the cleaning crew. He put back his morning clothes - a fitted 2-pieces navy suit. Running as fast as he could out of the hospital to avoid others to call him for consultations. It was Amenadiel's special day and he could not miss it.
Arriving at his home in Hollywood Hill, Lucifer shook his head and observed all the cars lining up outside of his home. "Bloody hell" he mumbled before getting out of his car. Lucifer was greeted with loud music and people everywhere. He didn't have to be on tip-toe to spot this brother from across the room.
"Amen!" Lucifer shout.
Amenadiel recognized the voice almost instantly and waved Lucifer over.
"Hey brother you finally make it" Amenadiel came in for bro-hug.
"Of course I wouldn't want to miss this" Lucifer responded and let go
"Linda, my dear, congratulation." Lucifer hugged Linda.
"Thank you Lucifer, and Thank you for letting us borrow the house for the party" Linda held Lucifer and arm-length after the hug.
"Oh Luci, let's me introduce you to my partner. - Detective Chloe Decker." Amenadiel interrupted
Lucifer turned to his left. He was immediately greeted by ocean-blue eyes and shy smile. Suddenly, Lucifer had a weird sensation in his stomach and quickly made his heart skip a beat. In his brain, no thought or activities seen to be working. He froze on his feet like someone drilled on the shoes on to the ground.
"And this is my brother. - Dr. Lucifer Morningstar" - the introduction woke up Lucifer from drowning in her ocean-blue eyes that looking right straight at him. Linda seen to be the first to notice Lucifer's reaction. She turned her head trying to process his expressions. She then quickly smiled when realizing what was happening. Being his therapist for years even before meeting his brother.
"We should go" Linda pulled the happy-then-turned-confused Amenadiel away as he was also studying the dead-glued-to-the-ground Lucifer
In this moment, it felt like just the two of them in the room alone. Not only Lucifer, but Chloe was also not responsive. It took them a few more second before Lucifer's initiation "Hi"
"Hi" Chloe whispered.
"Would you like a drink?" Lucifer asked while pointed at the open bar but still not taking his eyes of her.
"Yes please" breathlessly, Chloe responded. Every cells in her brain seen to activating again.
Letting Chloe walked first, unconsciously Lucifer placed his hand on her lower to guide her away from others. A light tough from him sent was like a electric shock that she needed for her nerve cells to sending signals all over the place. Lucifer seen to recover from the shock as well. He cleared his throat and back to usual. Even though it is pretty crowded but they still manage to get a spot at the bar.
"So you are a doctor?" Chloe said
"Yes" he responded while grabbing the two bottle of beers from the bartender.
"And your name is Lucifer. The irony" she giggled
"God-given, I'm afraid" Lucifer responded quickly and instantly wanted to slap himself for such a stupid respond. But he put himself at easy when Chloe laughed the answers. Both stayed quite and just get lost in each other present. Chloe put the bottle to her lips and began to drink. Her eyes glued to Lucifer. But it was quickly interrupt by someone accidentally bumped into the detective and spilled the beers all over her mouth and clothes. The white frothy foam from the beer overflowing around her upper lips. The sinful sight in front of Lucifer got him to shallow the lump at his throat. Quickly took out his handkerchief.
"Oh my god, I am sorry" The stranger apologized but that didn't seen to be noticed by the pair who were lost in their own zone. They both ignored the stranger. The liquid rapidly spread all over her quite shirt and in second her black laced bra came to sight. Chloe's panic set in and she got fluster. Without thinking, Lucifer took off his jacket and covered up her front. With his arm around her, he pushed everyone in front of them and guided her to a hidden elevator door next to the bar. They stayed quiet during few seconds ride to the next level with his arm still around her. She felt protected and warmed in his arm. She couldn't help but intake in his scent. "Oh he smells so hmmm" she thought. As the door opened, Chloe was introduced to his bedroom with vintage decors and a piano placed in the center of the room. They walked in and he let go of her. Chloe mesmerized by the bright light and beautiful view of the Los Angeles that could be seen from his balcony.
"Let's me grab another shirt for you" He left her wandering around the his bedroom. He came back with his white Tee.
"Here, the bathroom right in here." He walked her further into the room and past his bed.
Lucifer stepped out to give her some privacy.
Chloe didn't take long. She came out with his white Tee, a little French tuck in front and her leather jacket back on. She spotted out in the balcony.
"Thank you again"
"No problem detective"
The tension in the air could be with a knife. They both just kept getting lost in each other eyes and forget about the world. "What is that i am feeling" the thought that ran in their minds.
"Oh Chloe…What are you doing to me?" Lucifer reached out to cup her face. Acting on human instinct: Just like that, she reached up too and softly placed her lips on his. Gently, he let her in.
