(Clementine's Pov)
It's been months since I had been working at my desk since I was shot at, and Vincent has been a lot of help lately so have Sarah and Duck but I still couldn't wrap my mind around Vincent. I didn't understand them, how could I? They say they are the Devil, but they are to kind to be the image that many people have painted them to be. They care for innocent people, they resent their father for things many people would resent their own parents for in a logical sense.
"Hey you good there Clementine?" I hear and look to see Vincent as he was sitting at the table with AJ who was showing him all his art. I looked to the young boy and then back to Vincent and I nod.
"Yeah, I'm fine just… thinking." I say and he smiled at AJ as he showed another drawing to him. AJ was getting really good he said he wants to attend and Art college.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked me and I look to him.
"Just the case is all… they need me to go on the stand and all that junk." I tell him as I take a seat.
"I'm surprised they didn't ask me." He says and I nod a bit at this.
"I think it has to do with the fact that you weren't an actual cop." I say and lean my head on my propped-up hand as I look to him.
"True." He mutters and then AJ ran to his room and I look to Vincent.
"It's not about the case." He says and I nod a bit.
"Need to talk about it?" He asked and I take a breath and looked to the side and out the kitchen window, it was Saturday so kids were out playing.
"Clem, can I go play at Tenn's house?" AJ asked.
"Of course, but be back for lunch." I say and he nods and runs out the door and I look to Vincent who looked back to me.
"Ok, talk." He says and I think.
"You really are the devil, you are kind and caring, you are one hell of a… guy? Girl?" I asked an he laughed at this.
"Guy if I'm Vincent, Girl if I'm Violet, or they them I honestly don't mind either way." He says and I nod at this.
"Ok… well you are one hell of a demon." I say and he laughed again.
"Oh, that's a good one… wait… Complements? Are you hitting on me?" He asked and I giggled at this and shoved his shoulder.
"No, it just… I was supposed to fear someone like you, you're supposed to be evil incarnated yet here you are being nice to my little brother, being nice to me." I say and he nods.
"I get that, I'm supposed to be the bad guy trying to convince you to sin, and be dragged to hell." He says.
"But that's the thing, you aren't and…. I don't know what I'm suppose to think." I admitted and he looks at me.
"Well society has painted me in a bad picture, though it seems I care I really don't… to be honest you know the real me, more than Louis does." He tells me and I look to the side a bit.
"Is that right?" I asked.
"Yeah… I just didn't talk a lot when I was working in hell." He says and I look at him.
"Have you found your mother? It's been months." I say to him and he looked to the side a bit.
"No, I haven't she's really sneaky, I thought I would find her by now but she isn't anywhere." He says and I nod at this.
"I'm sorry for that." I say to him and he shrugged.
"Nothing to worry about, she's been like that for centuries." He tells me and I take a breath and look to the table a bit then back up at him as he looked to me.
"You still trying to figure out what I desire?" I asked him.
"Truthfully? Yes." He says.
"What would happen if you ever do?" I asked him.
"Hm, I would try to fulfill that desire you so crave." He says and I look down.
"So, I'm just a puzzle for you?" I asked.
"… If you think that I only care about trying to solve who you are and what you want, I think you got it mixed up, even if I did know I would still want to be around you, you're an interesting person, you're also kind and caring, you want to do right by this world, you're a fascination woman." He tells me and I look up to him.
"And honestly, you're a mystery to me." He says.
"Does it also have to deal with the fact that you apparently turn mortal around me?" I asked him and he nods.
"Even when I was with my previous partner, I never turned mortal, and I do want to know why." He says and I nod a bit at this.
"Clementine, even if I find out everything I want, I would never leave you, unless you ask me too of course." He says then Louis came out of nowhere.
"HOLY SHIT!" I say almost falling out my chair.
"Can you not use the door like a normal person?" Vincent asked as we both looked to Louis.
"I found her, your mom, she was body hopping." Louis says and Vincent stands up.
"You're serious?" He asked then he looked to me.
"I'm fine, go." I tell him and he nods as he snapped his fingers and I look over to Louis who looked to me.
"Hello." I wave and e waved back a bit and then looked around a bit.
"So… What's going on with you two?" Louis asked and I frowned a bit.
"Nothing why?" I asked.
"I worry for him, and he might think he's in love with you but he isn't." Louis says and I look to him.
"I have no romantic feelings towards him, he's just curious as to what is going on and to be honest, I'm curious as well." I tell Louis and he looks to me.
"Well, you need to stop hanging around him, you're leading him on." He says.
"I am not." I tell him.
"You are, and once he realizes it, you'll just be left on the side." He says and I look to the side a bit.
"Yeah, I know." I say and get up and make some coffee. I look to see AJ playing in the snow and I smile a bit as he gets into a snowball fight and I finish the coffee and hand a mug to Louis and he looked to me and took the mug.
"I'm just a curious as he is, I want to know why he cares so much for me when all I am is a puzzle." I tell Louis and he looked to me a bit and then takes a drink of the coffee.
"He thinks he's in love or something." Louis says and I nod at this.
"Are you telling me he doesn't know the difference between love and lust?" I asked curiously.
"I've known Vincent for years; he only ever goes for mortals." He says and I tilt my head in confusion.
"Explain." I say and he looked to me as he drank some of the coffee.
"He told you about his first partner, right?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yeah, she cheated on him and now he can't find her in heaven or hell, at least that's the basics." I tell him and he looked to me.
"He thinks she's bouncing around like what his mother had been doing for the past few months." He says.
"You think that he thinks I'm his ex-reincarnated or something along the lines of that?" I asked and he nods.
"Possible." He says and finishes his drink and offered him more and he declines.
"That is very interesting, but again you have no worries, I'm not taking your friend away." I tell him and then there was a bit of a flash as Vincent comes back with a woman who was handcuffed and I sighed.
"You took my cuffs?" I asked.
"No, not this time at least, no my mother here was in the middle of getting arrested." He says and I shake my head at this.
"Please tell me it wasn't here." I asked.
"Sadly… yes." He says and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Pardon me, but could you let me out of these?" I hear the woman ask.
"No, at least not right now…. What the hell were you thinking?" He asked his mom as he let her take a seat and she looked to me.
"Oh, my Vincent she is very pretty, finally found a girlfriend?" His mom asked and I laughed.
"No, mom, why did you leave hell you know you aren't suppo-."
"What's your name sweetie?" She asked me and I look at her.
"Clementine, and you are?" I asked.
"Oh, my name is hard to pronounce, just call me Lucy." She says and I couldn't help but smirk at that name and then look to Vincent.
"Ok, nice you know Clem and Clem you know my mom, now lets-."
"Oh, Vincent I just wanted to have some fun, you're up here for how long? I haven't been here in centuries." His mom says.
"And you were in the middle of getting arrested." He says.
"Speaking of which, can you please let me out of these cuffs, it's rude to have your mother handcuffed in front of your friends." She tells him and he groans and I get up and hand him the keys, thank whoever they were the universal cuffs. He uncuffed his mom who rubbed her wrists and I hand her a cup of coffee and she thanks me.
"Mom, you know dad doesn't like-."
"Oh, your father is nothing but a hypocrite, I can have some fun on earth too." She tells her son and I look to him as he huffed and rubbed his face a bit.
"Please stop interrupting me mother." He says.
"I should be heading out." Louis says.
"Uh no, you're staying here too." Vincent says.
"What we found your mom, we can bring her back." Louis and Vincent started to argue and I look over to Lucy and she looked to me.
"Have you tried this before?" I asked her.
"Oh yes, but that was back when Knights in shining armor were all the rage of a girl's fantasy." She says as she takes a sip of her drink.
"Why were you locked up?" I asked and she smiles at me.
"You are just a curious mortal, aren't you?" She asked and I nod at this.
"I'm a powerful being as well, I'm a goddess who became a fallen angel after what his father had done." She tells me. It could be true it could be a lie.
"Now, how did you meet my darling little boy?" She asked and I smile a bit. I explained how we met, and how he had taken some evidence and smoked it, being a pain in my ass when we first met.
"Vincent." Lucy says and his mom looked to him and his eyes were red and he looked to me and I lean my cheek on my hand.
"How could you interrupt this poor girl while she was working?" His mother asked.
"I mean… I just… I was thinking about Brody and well." He tried to explain to his mother and he turned red with embarrassment.
"That doesn't mean you need to bother her when she's on the job, I taught you better than that." She says.
"To be fair, I did help her solve a few cases." He says.
"Doesn't mean anything, now apologize." She tells him.
"Oh no it's fine, he's actually been a big help." I tell her and she looked to me and I hear Vincent sigh and his mom looked to him quickly.
"You aren't off the hook yet boy." She says to him and he nods and I notice that Louis was gone.
"Louis is gone." I say and take a drink of my coffee and Vincent groaned.
"God damn demon, has no balls to stay." He mutters.
"I'm about to start lunch, anything you want Ma'am?" I asked her and his mom looked to me.
"Oh, a sandwich is fine, thank you so much, see Vincent she's so much kinder than that other girl." I hear.
"Mom, I swear on dad-."
"Don't bring him up young man." I hear them bickering a bit and I couldn't help but smile as I got to work on lunch. By the time I was done AJ and Tenn. both ran into the house.
"No running you two, or you'll slip." I say and they walk over to me.
"Back." AJ says and I nod and hand them both their plates.
"And I have some hot coco for you two so go in the living room." I say and they head to the living room and Vincent is next to me with the two mugs.
"I got it." He says and I nod and clean up the mess and hand his mother a plate and she thanked me.
"So much nicer than the other girls." She says and I smile.
"How so?" I asked but before she could answer Vincent came back in.
"Because I just sleep with those girls, now mom after this you and I need to head back home." He says and looked to her.
"Oh, just a little more fun, I hate being locked up for so long." She says to him.
"What if I let you roam around hell instead of being locked up? And the only reason you were locked up was because you were going to try and kill dad." He mutters.
"Oh, I would love to hear this story." I say.
"His father was being a dick like always-."
"Ok, mom she doesn't need to know this." He says.
"Oh, I think she does, see when Vincent was with this one girl, what was her name?" His mother asked and Vincent sighed.
"Minerva." He says and crossed his arms.
"Yes, her, now she was a kind girl, but of course his father doesn't like the fact that his son wanted to be with a mortal girl, so what does this man do? Interfered with his sons love life." She says and I see she was angry.
"Then he wanted to rub it in his face how that girl didn't want him and so on, but he was able to knock up a virgin girl and have another son." His mother mutters.
"Ah, he was jealous?" I asked.
"No clue, don't care, he's a dick and I wanted to rip him apart." Lucy says and I nod. Understandable though, she only wants her child to be happy.
"Ok, so Mom, after lunch we have to go." Vincent says.
"Oh, let her stay Vincent, she hasn't been out for so long, plus it's winter time, let her stay for the holidays at least." I suggest.
"You can't be serous Clem." He says.
"I am… now we don't really celebrate Christmas here but we still give gifts and such." I tell his mother.
"See, why can't you be kind like her Vinny." Lucy says and I snicker.
"Don't call me that." He groans.
"Vinny." I say and he leaves the room and I giggled a bit.
"Are you sure I can stay?" She asked and I nod.
"My home, my rules, besides you've been locked up for so long… I get why he did it but it's not fair." I tell her.
"Oh, trust me I was on a rampage that day, I was going to destroy the world that my ex so called loves." She says and I look to her and I eat my food. We talked for a bit and Vincent came back and offered to take his mother to go shopping to get some clothes.
"Clem, Tenn. wants to know if I can stay the night at his place." AJ asked as he and Tenn. came over.
"Well if his sister says it's ok then yes." I tell them and they hurry to go ask his sister and I look to Vincent.
"You aren't trying to trick me, are you?" His mother asked.
"No, I'm not… if I did Clem would kill me." He says and looks to me.
"Literally." He says and his mom looked to him.
"Ok, and I'd love to know more about that situation." She tells her son and then AJ and Tenn came back and said it was ok, so he hurried to go grab a sleepover bag.
"Would you like to come?" Vincent asked me.
"Oh, no I still have some work to do." I tell him and he looked to me a bit.
"Want anything while we are out?" He asked.
"I'm fine Vincent… but if you can get some milk and bread, heard it was going to be a huge storm tonight." I say and he nods and leaves with his mother and I go take AJ and Tenn. over to his house and his sister opened the door and they both run in.
"Woah, slow down." Sophie says and I laughed and looked to her.
"They're excited for this." I say and she nods.
"Oh yeah, how have you been? Still working from home?" She asked.
"A little here and there, I mean after I messed with my stitches the last time, I went in." I say and she laughed a bit at this.
"Well come in, we can chat a bit, right?" She asked and I nodded as I come in the house.
"So, you never introduced the guy to me." She says and I smile.
"You mean Vincent?" I asked.
"No, the other guy, with the dreadlocks." She says.
"Oh, that's Louis, he doesn't stay long he travels a lot." I tell her.
"Well, I would love to meet him." She says and I smile.
"Is little Sophie smitten?" I asked and she turned red at this.
"No." She says and I roll my eyes at this and we talked for a bit. I then had to leave and went back home and over to my desk as I looked over the files and sighed at this. As I kept working on my laptop, I hear the door open and I sit up a bit and looked to see Vincent come in with his mom.
"How was shopping?" I asked and looked back to the file on the side of my desk.
"It was fine, got some other food as well." I hear Vincent say and so I get up as he set a bunch of bags on the counter.
"There's still more in the car?" I asked and he nods.
"Yeah, but I got it." He says and I cross my arms a bit.
"I can get the light stuff." I say and head out the door and so does he. His mom had some bags as well and she heads in and Vincent handed me the light bags and then told me he had the rest. I shake my head and then head in the house and got to work on putting food away and Vincent tried to stop me.
"Oh, let her be Vinny." His mom says and he groans a bit.
"Oh, I like her, she annoys you." I whispered to him.
"You like her cause she's annoying me? or you like her cause she sides with you?" He whispered back.
"A bit of both actually." I tell him and he actually laughed at this.
"At least you're honest… actually could I make dinner?" He asked.
"What? My pizza not good enough?" I joked and I feel his hand on my side a bit.
"Oh, it's good, but I think you'll like what I have in mind." He says and I place my hand on top of his out of habit. He never went to far with his hand and if I asked him to move his hand away, he would, but right now it felt nice.
"Sure, let's see what you got." I say and he helped me set up the preparations for dinner. After that he told me to leave the room and I shake my head a bit and I go back to my desk and get back to work.
"Working on your days off?" His mom asked and I look to her.
"No, I'm still on duty just… desk work." I tell her.
"Oh, ok got it." She says and I think.
"Want to watch something?" I asked and she looked a bit confused and I go to the couch and grabbed the remote to turn the TV on, I put on a movie and she was fascinated with that. I decided to take a seat next to her and we watched the Christmas movie and I smiled as Vincent came over with some hot coco and he handed us each a mug and he looked to the TV a bit.
"A Christmas Carol?" He asked and I nodded.
"It's a classic." I say and take a drink and smiled. How he can make it taste so good is beyond me.
"And you can watch this anytime you want?" His mother asked and I nodded.
"There's thousands of other movies too." I say and she nods as we just watch the movie a bit. Vincent went back to the kitchen and I could smell something good and my stomach started to rumble.
"Hungry hu?" Lucy asked and I nodded a bit.
"He's a good cook, he made me breakfast in bed when he stayed the night the first time." I say and she laughs a bit.
"He's a romantic even if he doesn't know it." She says and I nod. It was a while before there was a bowl of food in front of me and I look up to him.
"You should have called I would have gotten up." I say as I take the plate.
"No need, now try some." He says and it looked like corned beef with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage and other spices. I took a bite and smiled at how good it was.
"It's good." I say to him and he nods at this.
"I also have some salad ready if you want any, but stew sounded good." He says and I nod.
"Tell me about it." I say and took another bite. He then went and got his own bowl and took a seat next to me and we watched the movie as we all ate. His mom said she was feeling tired so I go and take her to a spare room I had, which was where Vincent was sleeping and then I come back to see him putting another movie in and he looked to me.
"Wanna watch another one?" He asked and I nod as I take a seat with him. He asked if I wanted another bowl and I nod as he got up and grabbed me some more food and a small side of salad and then took a seat next to me and we sat and watched another movie together and ate.
"Your mom is sleeping in the spare room." I tell him and I look to him.
"That's fine." He says and I look back to the TV.
"I should be heading back to my place anyway." He says and I look to him.
"You can stay." I tell him and he looked to me.
"I mean… I should be getting her back-."
"Hey spend some time with her, she seems ok." I tell him and we look at each other for who knows how long before he looked away.
"I don't want dad getting mad." He says.
"Oh, fuck him, you want to spend time with your mom here in my house then so be it, he can't be mad at you if I tell you to do it." I tell him and he looked to me a bit shocked.
"Clementine." He says and I look to him.
"What? If he's going to get mad over that then he's a jerk." I tell him.
"Yeah but-."
"Vincent, do you want to spend time with your mom?" I asked and he nods a bit at this.
"Yeah." He says.
"Then spend time with her… also what was she getting arrested for?" I asked.
"She didn't understand that the store doesn't take gold coins anymore." He says and I couldn't help but giggle a bit at this.
"I'm sorry, I really am sorry." I say and he chuckled a bit. we sat in silence for a bit before I looked to him and then I run my hand through his hair.
"Need a haircut?" He asked.
"Nah, just wanted to feel how soft it was." I say and he laughs and leans his head more towards me and I rubbed his head a bit. I watched the movie and then I feel him lay his head on my lap a bit and I look down to see that he had actually fallen asleep. I smiled and kept rubbing his head and I grabbed the blanket off on the side and put it over him and then went back to rubbing his head. It was some time before I hear the wind picking up a bit and I look out to see the snow picking up outside. I look back to the movie and kept rubbing his head and I notice him moving a bit in his sleep. I look over to my desk and I see the folders and I look back to the TV again and then my phone went off and I answer it.
"This is Clementine." I say and looked down to Vincent but I heard nothing on the other end for a bit.
"Hello?" I asked as I sit up a bit.
"Hey Clementine." I hear.
"Gabe?" I asked.
"Yeah I uh… I was wondering about Mariana's case?" He asked.
"I'm still working on it, you should get some sleep Gabe it's late." I tell him.
"Wait before you hang up." He says and I listen to him.
"Could we… maybe go out for some dinner… my treat." He says and I look to the window.
"It's a bit late-."
"I mean… tomorrow… if the weather isn't so bad you know." He says and I think a bit and then looked down to Vincent a bit then back to the TV and sighed.
"One dinner, that's it." I tell him.
"Yeah of course." He says and then we hang up and I look back to the TV as the movie finished. I turned the TV off and looked down to Vincent as he slept. I ended up falling asleep and it must have been morning because I woke up to the smell of eggs and I sit up a bit and see Vincent still sleeping on my lap. I run my hand through his hair again and I look to see his mom as she hands me some eggs and bacon with toast on the side.
"You didn't have-."
"It's a thanks for letting me stay here with my child." She says and I gently take the plate.
"It's no big deal, just… want him to have a good parent child relationship." I tell her and she takes a seat and looks to Vincent a bit.
"He's… a special one… his father just… his father is just… a hypocrite." She tells me and I nod at this. Vincent stirs a bit in his sleep and then looks around the room a bit and he sits up on the couch and rubbed his eyes a bit.
"Hmm, what time is it?" He asked.
"Nine in the morning." His mom says and he nods.
"Hmm, slept in." He mutters and then gets up and heads to his room and I look to his mom.
"Anything planned today?" She asked. I looked out the window and saw that the storm hadn't hit that bad and I sighed.
"I have a dinner planned with someone." I say and finished my breakfast.
"Oh? A boyfriend? Girlfriend?" She asked.
"A friend… I'm working on his sisters murder, the one Vincent was helping me with." I tell her.
"Oh, ok… well I'll see if I can keep Vincent out." She says and I nod a bit at this. He comes down and is wearing all black like always but he had a red vest and tie on.
"What has you dressing up so nice?" I asked as he came over to me.
"No reason, just have to look my best." He says and I nod a bit.
"But I do have to head back to my place real quick." He says and I nod and look to him.
"What for?" I asked.
"Well, have to just check on the place, make sure no one broke in, plus I kinda was hoping you'd let me bring a drink or two here?" He asked and I think.
"Bring the good stuff and we have a deal." I tell him and he smirks and nods.
"Got it, anything else?" He asked and I think.
"Actually, mind getting me some other things? If the stores are still open, the storm doesn't look like it was too bad." I say and he nods and I go make him a list and he grabbed his keys.
"Mind if I come?" His mom asked. He looked to me and I nod to him and he nods back.
"O, sure." He says and I nod as they head out after I gave him the list and I rubbed my face a bit as I hear the car leaving. I go over to the desk and looked at the file and then set up a video call with my chief.
"Well good morning, Clementine, how are you?" She asked.
"Look we need Vincent back." I state.
"Well damn didn't think I'd be hearing this early in the morning." She says and I look to the screen.
"Look, I get it, he messed up big time but he's really good, like really fucking good at this, plus I haven't had a partner in years." I tell her and she looked to me.
"I shouldn't have even let him do what he did, my ass is on the line." She tells me.
"Well, we have to bring him in as a witness anyway, he was there when we found the bodies, he helped us find Mariana, he's involved with this too." I tell her.
"I get that, I do, but the moment we bring him in the whole case is thrown out Clementine, even if he magically became a cop tomorrow it's just… We want justice for this girl." She says.
"And so does he." I stated and looked to the screen a bit.
"Clementine… let me look into it, they might throw the case out but I'm trying everything I can." I hear as I look away.
"How's the case file?" She asked.
"Almost done." I say.
"Alright, send me the email before next week." She says and I nod and we end the call. A few hours passed by and I get a text from Vincent as he says he's going to be running late that his mother got sidetracked and I smiled a bit. I look to my watch and I go get dressed and messaged Gabe and he sent me the location of where we were going to eat and I grabbed my keys and boots and walked out the house. I left to the restaurant and sighed as I saw it was ne of those fancy ones. I parked the car and walked up as I see Gabe waiting and I go up to him.
"Hey." I say and he nods and we go in. We get seated at a table and I take my jacket off and we looked at the menus a bit. We ordered our food and I was looking at the pianist and then to Gabe.
Nice place, thought we would go to the diner." I say.
"Well, they were closed, so next best thing right?" He asked and I nod a bit at this.
"Fair enough… how is your uncle?" I asked.
"He's… not doing good." He tells me.
"Sorry I couldn't… go to the funeral." I tell him.
"It's fine…. The flowers were nice, thank you." He says and I nod. The waiter comes with a bottle of wine and pours us each a glass and I nod and then take a drink once they leave.
"So that guy you were with… husband?" He asked and I choke a bit on my drink.
"Woah, was I wrong?" He asked and I hold my hand up a bit.
"Sorry just… no he isn't my husband, why?" I asked.
"Well… I was wondering if we could… maybe date?" He asked and I look to him.
"Oh no, I'm sorry Gabe I'm not looking to be in a relationship." I say to him.
"Clem just hear me out." He says and I look to him.
"AJ needs a father figure, and I'm not saying you're a bad parental figure to him, you're a great sister and stuff but… I could help watch him, take him to school… and I'd be a good partner for you." He says.
"Gabe… I really don't want to be in a romantic relationship, right now I'm not in the right mindset." I tell him and he nods. We finished dinner and talked here and there. I then went to my car and it wouldn't start but the thing was a junk car and I sighed.
"Need a lift?" He asked and I laughed.
"Yeah… yeah, damn car hates the cold." I mutter as he takes me to his car. We got to my place and he walked me up to the door and I look to him.
"Dinner was nice, thank you." I say and he nods.
"Yeah, it was… maybe we could make this a weekly thing?" He asked.
"I'll think about it." I say and then he kissed me and I hear the door open quickly and I back up.
"Am I interrupting something?" I hear and look to see Vincent without a shirt on and I put my hand to block him from my vision.
"No, nothing… see you next week Clementine." Gabe says and then he heads to his car and I head inside.
"I'm sorry did I interrupt you two?" He asked.
"No, no you didn't." I say as I keep him out of my view.
"I have a shirt on." He says and I turn to see he was wearing a red shirt and black sweats on.
"Where is your car?" He asked.
"At a restaurant." I say to him.
"I could have made you something to eat-."
"Gabe called and asked me last night." I tell him.
"Oh… sorry I just." He stopped and I look at him as he looked to the side.
"It's old, I got to get it fixed up." I tell him.
"I could get you a new-."
"No please don't… I'm fine with what I have, but thank you." I tell him and he nods.
"So…. You were on a date?" He asked and I look to him.
"No, no it wasn't-."
"But he kissed you." He says and I look to him.
"Are you jealous?" I asked.
"No, I just… want to make sure you're with the right person… you know." He says and I shake my head a bit.
"No, we aren't dating, he just randomly kissed me and then you opened the door." I tell him.
"Do I need to beat his ass?" He asked and I shake my head.
"No, you don't." I tell him.
"But you didn't want him to kiss you?" He asked.
"No but it's done and over with, plus I think you scared him enough by opening that door." I say and I go take a seat and I rubbed my head a bit.
"Need your medicine?" I hear him ask and I nod as he moved around and then hands me a water and my medication. I take the medicine and I drink the water and set the cup on the table and I look to Vincent.
"Could you change to Violet?" I asked and he nods and does just that as he takes a seat. I couldn't help by laugh a little.
"What's so funny?" She asked and I look to her.
"Just… nothing." I say and lean my head on my hand as I look to her. The clothes looked baggy on her but to be fair she did just change height.
"So why did you want to see me?" She asked as she pulls her feet up and I shrugged.
"Don't know… could have a girl's night?" I joke and I see her frown a bit.
"I'm not really the girly type you know?" She says and I nod at this.
"I'm joking… I don't know just… thought it would be better if you were a girl." I say and she looked confused but shrugged.
"Whatever makes you comfortable." She says and I nod and I think a bit and turn the TV on and it's another Christmas movie.
"Christmas is just a hard time." I say out of random and I look to her as she looked to me.
"Family?" She asked and I nodded.
"Yeah… from what I remember my parents loved Christmas, so did Lee… it's when we got to spend a whole day together and just… be happy you know?" I asked and she looked to the floor a bit as she pulled her knees to her chest.
"I just know it's my brother's birthday… not much we really do, when he was alive, I would visit him and we would talk, he was actually nice to me… that's why I got mad at my dad, it's why I'm still mad at my dad." She says and I keep looking at her as she took a breath.
"But that was a LONG time ago, no need to bring that drama up." She laughed and then looked to me with a smile.
"So, any traditions you have for Christmas?" She asked. Trying to change the subject.
"Well, on Christmas Eve, we would open one gift, have some hot coco, watch a Christmas movie, leave cookies and carrots out for Santa and the reindeer." I list off and look to her.
"Just boring stuff." I say.
"I don't think it's boring." She tells me and I think.
"So, Jesus is like a little brother to you?" I asked and she nods.
"Yep, he's the baby in my family, but he looks older than I do, well unless I'm Vincent." She tells me.
"So… Do you like being a male or female more?" I asked curious.
"I'm fine with either, but I do like being tall." She says and I laughed.
"I'm guessing it has it's perks hu?" I asked and she nods and then looked to the window and I see some more snow and sighed. I look to Violet as she looked out the window too and then she looked to her knees and I looked away a bit.
"Does… Lee still have your mark?" I asked and she looked to me then to her hand.
"No, he doesn't it seems my dad actually listened to me for once." She says and leans her head back on the couch.
"First time he did listen to me… guess he didn't want Lee to deal with my mark." She says.
"What if your dad goes back on the deal?" I asked.
"He doesn't have the ability to bring people back from hell, that's my job, he can only do it in heaven." She explained to me.
"Interesting." I say and then she clutches her hand to her chest.
"Yeah… anyway, you want something to drink?" I asked and she nods as she gets up and I stopped her as I got up.
"Let me, please." I say and she raised her hands up in surrender and I nod and get to work on her drink. I decided to make it an Alcoholic drink for her. Once done I come back over and hand her the drink and she nods as I take a seat and she takes a sip.
"Oh, there's alcohol in this." She says and I nod.
"It's night so you get a drink." I say and she laughed a bit.
"Thanks." She says and I nod at this. I decided we should watch a movie and I move closer to her and lean my head on her shoulder as she watched the movie. I looked to the TV a bit and we just ended up falling asleep on the couch.
