Chapter 5

Throughout the rest of the day at work Chloe took it easy trying not to over do it, everyone showed concern about her even Lucifer who remained by her side in case she felt off.

Then once the day was over Chloe went to home, Lucifer offered to take her to dinner but was turned down. Chloe said that all she wanted to do was relax.

7:30pm

Arriving at her house the door opened to reveal Trixie with an excited expression, " mommy your home " she greeted hugging her tightly, " I'm sorry I'm late sweetie " explains Chloe hugging Trixie in return, " it's ok " said Trixie before giggling.

" Okay what's going on? " asked Chloe giving her daughter a suspicious look, without saying anything Trixie looks to turn in the direction of the kitchen along with a couple sounds being heard.

" Welcome home detective " said Lucifer stepping out from the kitchen surprising Chloe, " Lucifer...what are you doing here? " she asks as Trixie led her to the kitchen.

" To be honest I..." unable to finish Lucifer looks at Trixie who's listening in on the conversation, " offspring do you mind if the grownups talk? " asked Lucifer, " ooooohhhh " teased Trixie before running off leaving her mom and Lucifer alone.

Chloe smilied at her daughter before looking back at the man in front of her, " so you were saying? " asks Chloe, " right before I explain " said the nervous devil he led Chloe to the dining room where the table was neatly set for 2.

Unable to speak Chloe couldn't come up with anything for the site before her, " Lucifer...you did this? " asked Chloe as they walked closer.

Lucifer pulled a chair out for her gesturing to sit, " now this isn't an attempt to seduce you " explains Lucifer pushing her seat in, " but a rare act of kindness by yours truly " he added smiling while carefully pouring red wine into her glass.

" I see " said Chloe watching as Lucifer went to get 2 plates both covered by silver lids. Carefully placing the plate in front of Chloe followed by the lid coming off, " tonight's dinner is veal Oscar with a side of steamed green beans and roasted potatoes " explains Lucifer smiling.

" Oh my goodness this looks amazing " said Chloe admiring the meal, " better then the normal meals you have I assume " replied Lucifer smiling as he sat across from her.

Taking a moment to embrace everything Chloe's eyes looked into the dark orbs of the man watching her, " is something wrong? " Lucifer asks waiting to hear from the detective, " you really did this for me? " she asks in a nervous tone of voice.

Looking down momentarily Lucifer breathes in before speaking, " when I saw you fainted today I got scared " he said looking deeply into Chloe's green eyes " you were? " she asks shocked to learn of this new information " I've never lied to you before detective and I'm not lying now...I was scared more then the time when you got shot when we first met " he explains his voice with a quiver.

Chloe froze hearing his words, " after I caught you it felt like I was losing you..." all of the memories of almost losing her repeated but the recent event of today made him feel more afraid then ever.

Placing a hand over Lucifers he looks up to face Chloe " I'm here Lucifer like you said back then you won't let me die so easily " said Chloe with a tender expression, " and I won't " he answers smiling " shall we enjoy this dinner before it gets cold? " he asks smiling along with Chloe giggling...

12:00am

After they finished dinner Lucifer and Chloe talked for awhile longer, eventually Trixie was put to bed but begged Lucifer to read her a story while Chloe watched the moment.

Once Trixie was asleep Lucifer went on about how boring the book was only to make Chloe laugh, Lucifer insisted on doing the clean up but Chloe said it was okay and that she would do it. In the end the pair cleaned up together followed talking more before realizing it was late.

Walking Lucifer to the door Chloe has a warm feeling inside, " you've heard me say it so much already but thank you for everything " she said only to receive Lucifers charming smile as he opens the door, " my pleasure detective " he replies standing outside with hands tucked in his pockets.

" Good night " she breathed smiling " good night " he replies but before he walked away Chloe stops him making him turn to face her. Without saying a word Chloe kisses Lucifers lips then pulls back making him stand still, " I'm sorry I- " not letting her finish Lucifer holds Chloe's face then kisses her deeply followed by her arms wrapping around his neck.

Unaware to them Eve and Libra watch from the distance, " destiny can't be changed " said Libra crossing her arms, " no it can't but I fear they will suffer greatly " breathed Eve before they both disappear...
