After dusting every corner in Happy Hotel, Niffty picked her son out of Vaggie's arms and slightly bowed to the manager and her princess girlfriend.
- Thank you for taking care of Ton-Ton while I was busy. - She stated. - And sorry I'm only available once a week, I have a new job now.
Two demonesses shared the knowing look and charlie answered hesitatingly.
- Yes, we know from Al. - She paused. - About your problems…
They decided it was best to tell her that they need to renew their vows in Hell too, and that throwing away years of happy marriage was just wrong. She could see that herself. She missed Al, but…
- It's not that easy.
She huffed. Both Vaggie and Charlie were awfully nice, but she knew for a fact they sided with Alastor.
Even Vaggie who would normally hate him.
- What this shitlord did is unacceptable, but that was just one kiss… - grey girl stated. - If he wants a threesome, he should ask you first.
She tried to ignore that comment.
- Weren't you a human like us before? - She asked.
- Yeah, so?
Niffty just stared for a moment.
- Eh, nevermind. - If she didn't understand there was no point arguing with her as well. - Just so you know, I didn't leave just because of that.
- Oh? - Doll face princess tilted her head with interest.
- She called me stupid and unworthy of him. And he agreed. - She said with a cold tone.
Two girls only looked at each other in confusion. Alastor never mentioned that to them…
Niffty was in a grocery shop when she saw that everyone was staring at her. For a moment she tried to ignore it, just packing coffee and bread to the shopping cart as if she didn't notice their stares. Normally, since not that many knew how Mrs. Radio Demon looked, she would assume this had nothing to do with Alastor. But then she spotted a poster.
It had her picture printed on it, and sentence written with large letters:
"DO YOU SEE THIS WOMAN? YES? GOOD, SHE'S MINE! - message brought to you by Alastor, the Radio Demon."
Niffty growled and using her speed started to rip the poster. Suddenly someone grabbed her by the wrist.
The tall, radio demon's shadow appeared right behind her, she gasped, but of course she wasn't scared. Other demons on the other hand panicked as the shadow materialized into the red stag.
Couple didn't pay much attention to them, as some of the imps flee, and few sinners hide behind the shop shelves.
- Hey, I paid a lot for those posters, mon moineau. - He said, although without a hint of real anger in his voice. He brings the wrist of his beloved closer to his mouth to slightly smooth the palm of her hand. He was never an intimate type, but he craved her touch so much after she left…
She would be lying if the small kiss wasn't pleasant, but she needed to be more stubborn, to achieve her goal. He still had to apologize properly.
- Darling, I miss you… - He purred. - Did you like the songs? - He referred to his every night efforts to serenade her.
She let out a small laugh as he mentioned that.
- You are aware I don't sleep in that room, right? - She asked as Alastor opened his eyes wider. - You were singing all those songs to my new boss, Al…
Stag was a bit dumbfounded as he heard that.
- Wait… what? - He let her hand go.
Nonetheless, he cleared his throat. Crossing his arms behind his back, he leaned closer to his cyclops wife's face.
- I know you are still mad… - He started, seeing her glare. - I admit, I'm not without blame… but, don't you think you owe me a chance to apologize? Saltlick, if I ever made you think I feel like you're stupid… - He turned his head. So they told him about the chat she had with the princess and her girlfriend? Finally it felt like they were getting somewhere.
Petit lady looked at him, yes, she wanted nothing more than to be really sorry. But does he even know for what? Even though his big, deer eyes were so sweet, he dropped down his fluffy ears. She wanted to touch them. Pet his silly head… she shook her head at a thought. She will play hard to get... for now.
- Well, I suppose… - She tried hard not to look at his face anymore.
- Then we'll see each other at 7 p.m.! - He immediately springs back in excitement. - I will take you to the best restaurant in town, mon moineau! Get yourself ready, I will send you a new cocktail dress, you will be stunning, my dear!
And at that he suddenly kissed her in the mouth. The surprising gesture was by any means unwelcome, but it was clear to her… Al had no idea why he was upset so much. Yes, Rosie was a part of it, but all the over the top ideas of his were so exhausting to say the least.
And just like that, her husband disappeared as fast as he got there, as if he was never there. She let out a sigh and picked eggs and milk from the shop basket.
- How much do I pay? - She asked the cashier but the girl just shivere and let a scared sound out of her mouth.
- N-no need to pay, it's for f-free for you mrs. Alastor…
Niffty smiled a bit at this, but it wasn't a happy grin. "Mrs. Alastor ''? For crying out loud… but they caused a scene once already, she didn't need more attention. And… she blushed a bit, the cashier wasn' exactly wrong calling her that.
- Thank you.
She just said and left the shop.
Remember the times when I thought that I will finish this before December? Welp, life kind of happen, and I'm still working on it, but I'm set on 15 chapters, only if I felt it will be too rash I may made 16 chapter or epilouge. Hope you guys enjoy it. :)
