The Devil is our Cupid

The deal

I went and wore a dry t-shirt then sat down next to her, I didn't feel like waking her up.

But she suddenly opened her eyes and moved away from me.

"Where were you? I was looking for you".

Yeah right.

"Really? Sleeping on my bed doesn't look like searching for me", I said sarcastically.

"Don't you dare talk to me like that", she snapped.

And she was right, I shouldn't have spoken to her like that.

"Why are you here Rose, you shouldn't be here. I'm a monster right?"

"Yeah, you are".
Her eyes were cold, emotionless.

"Get out Rose, get out before I eat you."

She looked terrified, my effect worked but not exactly. She smiled and then chuckled,
"That is never going to happen", she spoke with immense confidence.

She was right though.

"Listen, this is the last time I'm asking you, why are you here?"

She thought for sometime and took a deep breath.

"I want you to tell me everything".

I couldn't believe it, she came here to know what all happened, fine. But why? What will she do with the information?

"No. Get out of here. NOW."

"Listen to me, I promise I'll listen to your explanation".

I looked at her, her eyes. Her eyes were the dominant one.

"What do you want to know?"

"Everything, why, what, when, how. Every, each detail."

"Lol. What are you, a priest or a paranormal hunter? Why do you want to know."

"Because I want to help you Lucifer. This is not normal and I hope you know that. Eating human meat can be fatal, do you have any idea?"

"Why do you want to help me? What good will it do to you?"

She didn't reply. She kept looking down. I knew it, something was wrong in her life.

"The parents I live with, they're not my real parents. They were some random people who adopted me."

"Okay.....I'm sorry, but I still don't get it. How's it related with me or the possession or my..my...my eating habits?"

"My real mom, died because of this possession".

Her eyes were moist, she was about to cry. With a very croaky voice she asked for a glass of water. I went and got it for her and she drank and took deep breathes.

"I'm sorry Rose", I kept my hand on her shoulder, "I now get why you want to help me but seriously there is nothing you can do about it."

She caught my hand and started smiling,
"You know, once I understand your story from the beginning, I will know where all you need help or whether you need help or these are just my thoughts."

I was confused, I knew she isn't lying but all this was somewhere deep in my heart. It was a part of me that I never showed anyone.

All my feelings were holed up in a dark corner of my heart.

"I won't tell you everything Rose. This is something that makes me feel exposed, vulnerable, vulnerable to people, which in my case are worse than monsters."

She smiled but didn't say anything. We sat there silently, holding each other's hand.

"Fine, don't tell me everything."

I smiled with relief but that was disrupted when she spoke again.

"Let's make a deal".

"What deal?"

"You will tell me everything, but not all together. Every week, we'll meet at some place where you feel the most comfortable and you'll tell me a part of it. This way, you'll be having a week's break to gather up the courage you need to speak about it and even I'll get a week's time to look for the solution."

Wow, that was smart!

"I need a day to think".

"Sure, take how much ever time you want".

We welcomed our old guest back that was now sitting between us- Mr. Awkward.

"Hey can I ask you a question."

"I don't know, go on.", she seemed a bit nervous.

"Do you have any other reason to help me other than your mom's death?"

She seemed surprised but then started smiling,
"I know you like me Lucifer, but for your answer, you're the first guy who didn't put his hand up my thigh on the first meeting itself. You're a genuine, sweet, good-looking guy but I don't feel anything else. I'm sorry".

I smiled trying to hide the hurt in my eyes.

But still I wasn't ready to believe the fact that her mom's death was the only reason.

She was the first girl ever who spoke to me sweetly and not being terrified, she hung out with me, she decided to choose me as her partner.

This all happened way before she knew about the possession. I just feel that she feels the same way too, and I hope she does.

It was funny, we bonded up really well when we spoke about devils, demons, possessions, human meat but we never could have a normal conversation.

We both became friends because of the devil possessing me, and I really hope that this devil acts as our cupid.

A/n- I hope you are enjoying the story.

Next update- 18th May, Monday.
Love you
