Lucifer is surprised to see her several hours after their fateful meeting at her wedding reception. She looks exhausted beyond relief but he expected as much since she probably took care of every detail. Everything was beautiful nonetheless. She's beautiful.
The real question though, what the heck is she doing here, in his Penthouse, at this hour?
He puts out the light of his cigarette on the nearby ashtray and stuffed his hand in his pockets, finally breaking the silence.
"What's going on, Detective?" He notices her red-rimmed eyes, and he could feel his anger rising. How dare that man? They just got married! "Let me escort you back, and then punch your new husband's face. I promise you, I'll give him Hell for the rest of his life and beyond. You have my word," He could hardly contain his rage as he gently grabs her hand. He had to leave her only for this poor excuse of a man to trample all over her pure heart? Oh, Lucifer will see to it personally, the eternal punishment for the bloody wanker.
"No, no punching necessary," She says, her hand over his and he reluctantly releases his hold. She wipes her tears and walks over to the couch and he follows suit.
"Then, why are you crying?"
"Why did you even come back? Why did you even show yourself there?"
She tells him and in frustration held her head in both hands. The devil doesn't get what she's trying to explain.
"Why did you have to say those words? Why now?"
The crease on his brows softened, and he feels guilty all over again for causing her distress.
"You deserved to know," He says in finality. "Because it's the truth. I am so sorry, Detective. It wasn't my intention to hurt you. I know I was being selfish but," His words were cut off when her lips crashed on his and he repays her with the same amount of passion.
"Detective," He mutters after breaking the kiss. "What is happening?"
"I wanted to let you know," She caresses his face, looks deep into his eyes "I love you too."
Lucifer smiles and held her face and touched foreheads.
"But…?" He allows himself to say the word because he knows that despite their mutual feelings for each other, she's already committed to someone and that she must have loved that guy too, else she wouldn't have agreed to bind herself to him. Everyone knows Chloe is a badass so she couldn't have done this just to spite him.
"But we can't be together. At least not in this lifetime."
And he nods. She may think what she wants, something like him giving up easily, but the two of them, a human and a celestial being, will never end well. That, and she still doesn't believe he's the Devil.
"I understand. Shall I accompany you back to your new home?"
"No, I'm good. Until we meet again, Lucifer."
"Yes."
And when your time comes, I will light up the path to guide your soul to the Silver City.
One more day
One last look
Before we leave it all behind
And play the role that's meant for us
That said we'd say goodbye
One more night
By your side
Where our dreams collide and all we have is everything
And there's no pain, no hurt, there's no wrong, it's alright
If I promise to believe will you believe?
That there's nowhere that we'd rather be
Nowhere describes where we are
I've no choice I love you
Leave, love you wave goodbye
And all I ever wanted was to stay
Nothing in this world's gonna change
Never wanna wake up from this night
Never wanna leave this moment
Waiting for you only
Only you
Never gonna forget
Every single thing you do
When loving you is my finest hour
Leaving you is the hardest day of my life
