Trust

Chapter 9

Hey!!! I apologize if the chapter may be short. I'll try to make them longer from now on! Thank you that one person who commented on this story🥹 I hope I get more!

~ALASTOR'S POV~

We were all walking to the restaurant that the Vees picked out. I was not particularly happy that this was going to happen, but Charlie insisted. She still felt bad that they were having dinner with Angel's 'boss'.

"How much longer?" Lucifer asked. I rolled my eyes and sighed. So impatient. "Just a couple minutes." Charlie answered. I tried to mentally prepare myself for meeting up with my biggest enemy.

It was very surprising and annoying. I mentally noted to not even speak to him. After a couple moments, we were walking up to the restaurant. Of course it was in THIER territory.

"Reservation for Charlie Morningstar," Charlie told the sinner at the desk. "One moment," they said. They grabbed a couple menus and we all made our way to the table. I sat next to Lucifer, Charlie sat next to me and Vaggie sat next to her.

So, the Vees would sit two people away from me. I began to look at my menu and try to destract myself from anger. Then, I heard THAT voice. "Hey!" He said. "Nice to meet you all!" I resisted the urge to growl and quickly grabbed Lucifer's hand from under the table.

Velvet was on her phone while Valentino was looking around at every woman and man that had skin. "Hey," Charlie said, trying to sound happy. Vox and the other Vees sat next to Vaggie and we all scooted down. Lucifer quickly glanced at his hand, then at me.

I felt him squeeze my hand harder and my anger subsided for a moment. "Alastor!" Vox said. "It's been a while!" I nodded and smiled wider. "Yes it certainly has," I exclaimed. "Let's keep it that way"

"Sooo~" Valentino butted in. "How's the hotel going?" He blew out the red smoke from his ( I have no idea what the fuck it's called. Please tell me)

"It's going very well," Charlie answered. "Glad you asked. Val laughed like an idiot, then went back to staring at people. Velvet put down her phone and gave everyone a disgusted look. "Why are we with these chumps?" She asked nonchalantly.

Lucifer growled and I scoffed. Vaggie gave her a dirty look and mouthed something. "Velvet!" Vox said in a very TV voice. "The king of hell is here!" Velvet gave Lucifer a glance then quickly smiled like a model.

"Oh," she said. "Did I say chumps?" I almost laughed on how she changed her attitude. "I meant prima Donna's." She went back to doing something on her phone.

Vox looked absolutely terrified while Valentino smiled awkwardly.

~LUCIFER'S POV~

I growled as Velvet said that. This minor overlord disrespecting me?! I could kill her in an instant! But, Charlie was here and that would not make me look like a good person. "Excuse me?" Charlie said with anger.

"You might be an overlord, but you cannot talk to us like that!" I felt myself smile, but quickly dropped it. "You can leave," I added on. Velvet gave me a look, then quickly went back to her phone.

"That's what I thought! Bitch!" Charlie took a deep breath and smiled. "Thank you," she said, basically changing her personality. "I'm sorry about Velvet," Vox said. I quickly continued to look at the menu and gave Alastor's hand a reassuring squeeze before letting go of it.

Time skip brought to you by Alastor's and Niffty's relationship

We were almost done with dinner and I could tell Alastor was pissed. Vox was making fun of their battles and how Alastor always lost. I could tell that Vaggie and Charlie were uncomfortable, because he was obviously lying.

Valentino had butted into the conversation a few times to make a sexual joke that didn't make any sense. I could tell a couple times that Alastor would want to yell at him, but I held his hand and he calmed down.

"He decided to break in!" Vox finished. "Alastor used to be a cool motherfucker back in the days!" Velvet rolled her eyes. "Wonder what happened to him?" She muttered.

I gave her a glare and she went back to her phone. "Remember when you killed that bar guy because he got our drinks wrong?!" Vox asked. Alastor sighed, but answered.

"Those days are way behind me" he answered. Vox rolled his eyes. Charlie seemed to beam at Alastor's response.

The waiter came by us and dropped the check on our table. Charlie was about to reach for it, but Vox got to it before her. "Allow me," he said. I scoffed at his kindness. This is obviously an act. Right?

After the Vees payed, we all sat up from our table and walked out the door. Me and Alastor were on either sides of the girls to make sure they wouldn't get grabbed.

"I'd like to thank you for inviting us," Vox said. Charlie smiled at him and nodded. "I'm glad to have spend time with you~" Valentino added. I quickly grabbed Charlie's hand before she spoke. "Yeah, yeah," Velvet retorted, still looking at her
phone.

They all walked away and Charlie fell to the ground. "I'm so sorry," she said. I got on my knees and tried to comfort her, Vaggie did the same.

"It's not your fault, you didn't know," I reassured her. "He was so rude to Alastor," she pointed out. "I don't really mind dear," Alastor said. "He's not stronger than me, so nothing will happen." He tapped her with his cane.

We all took a minute to calm down and made our way back to the hotel. "Charlie?" I asked her. "What do you feel about me... moving on from your mother?" She gave me a confused look and I fiddled with my hand nervously.

I probably should talk to her in a more private room, but I just could only get the courage to ask her now. "Why would you ask me that?" She said. "I don't mind if you move on."

My eyes lit up and I quickly hugged her. We all stopped walking to savor this moment. "Really?!" I asked. "Of course, dad," she hugged me back tightly and after a moment we both let go. "Alastor?" I asked him.

I was finally ready to tell them about our relationship. "Can I tell them?" Alastor glared down at me. I could tell he got anxious by me even bringing up the subject.

"Tell us what?" Vaggie asked. Alastor nodded and gave me a genuine smile. I could tell he was nervous, but he gave consent. "Charlie," I grabbed his hand and we both looked at the girls. "Me and Alastor are dating,"

Vaggie was in pure shock while Charlie was bouncing up and down with excitement. "No way," Vaggie said awestruck. "OH MY GRANDFATHER!!!" Charlie yelled. "YHATS WHY YOU GUYS WERE FINALLY HANGING OUT WITH EACH OTHER?"

She quickly went to hug both of us. I felt Alastor cringe, but I made him go into the hug. Vaggie was still in surprise, but joined the group hug. "I'm so happy!" Charlie yelled.

We all let go of the hug and continued to walk to the hotel. Alastor and I both had to explain how we got into a relationship and all the juicy details, but it didn't bother me. "It's really all thanks to you, though," Alastor added.

I gave him a surprise look. "Look who's being nice," I teased. "Fuck you," Alastor said. "I'd like to see you try!" I teased back. "Already have," he added. I quickly covered my face and blushed. Charlie and Vaggie looked horrified, but we all laughed.

"Is that what the thudding noise from your room was?" Charlie asked. I immediately shook my head and held out my hands. "We are NOT getting into details!" They both laughed and Alastor rolled his eyes.

Though, I loved that we were all finally getting along. Despite having to hand out with narcissistic assholes, this night wasn't that bad

I apologize for the rushed chapter. I look forward to making more of this book. I might take some time to update, but I hope that's alright with y'all! Thank you all!!!
