Lucifer

3: Lunch date with two ?

Ava's POV

He stepped inside the elevator causing Gabriel to step towards me but before he was able to do that Lucifer changed his direction and stepped in between us instead causing both of us to step aside and away from each other.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Knight" Gabriel's voice sounds from the other side.

"Good Afternoon, heading for lunch ?" His icy voice asks him. Did I mention that his voice literally gives me goosebumps ?

I want him to talk dirty to me. I want to hear his voice when he whispers dirty things in my ear. What wouldn't I give to hear his grunts when he is.....

"Yes" he replies. And I snap out of my thoughts. Sometimes I think my brain is wholly submerged gutter.

"And who is your friend ?" He asks with a mixture is amusement and annoyed. He eyes me and smirks and I narrow my eyes visibly clenching my jaw. My nose flares and he raises an eyebrow.

"Her name is Ava" Gabriel replies oblivious to our exchange since Lucifer blocks my view of him. I incline on my right a little to see Gabriel but Lucifer snidely steps forward again blocking my view of him. I huff in annoyance.

"Ava"

"Yes" this time it's me who replies.

"And uh... where might I ask are you two going for lunch ?" This time the question is directed at me. But I don't bother reply and turn away. After a moment of silence Gabriel replies with a low voice.

"We were just deciding on that, Mr. Knight."

"I know a brilliant restaurant just around the corner. Shall I escort you two ?" He asks which screams, 'you can't say no to me. I am coming either way'. What the fuck is this guy's problem ?

"Mr Knight...."

"Perfect. Its settled then. We will go together. I would like to know your new friend better" he says and turns to me. I turn to the other side and act like he isn't standing there. I take out my phone and see that I received a text from Joey.

Hey baby, are you going to be at the seminar at 6:00 today in college ? If yes then i'll be picking you up, just text me the time.

Love,
Joey.

He knows I never miss a seminar. I love those. Those inspirational speeches, the people... Maybe Emily told him about my interview and he didn't expect me to be back before it. The seminar is at 6:00. I don't exactly have a car so I will have to ride with him. Emily hates these things and Joey does too. All he does during these things is make fun of all the words said by the lecturer. So I reply,

Well okay. Pick me up at 5:30. See you then, Joe.

Love,
Ava.

Okay so that's settled. Now to get through this stupid lunch. I look up to find both of them looking at me intently. Did I miss something ? What happened ? Did someone talk to me and I totally missed it due to my texting ?

"What ?" I ask.

"Nothing" they both reply at the same time. Fine. Let's get this done and over with.

We arrive at a French restaurant whose name I will spare you because I will completely butcher the language and feed it to the dogs if I even try to pronounce it. As soon as we enter we are immediately given a table. Courtesy of Mr. Knight. And we were attended immediately. A very young waiter possibly in his mid-twenties came to hand out our menus. He was pretty attractive. Not as much as Gabriel and Lucifer but he was definitely a looker.

I glanced down at the menu and sighed. I can't even read the menu properly. "Have you decided what you want to eat yet ?" Gabriel's voice breaks my series of self - pity.

I could just go with any salad and not embarrass myself. Or I could say my appetite vanished and just order a drink or a glass of wine. I could always go home and finish my lunch. Or I could just get up and run like hell. Decisions. Decisions. But I went with the truth.

"Honestly ? I can't even read the language." I say.

A chuckle that literally melts my insides and brings shivers down my.... area, resonates on out table. Lucifer was laughing. On me. I should be angry but I am oddly left captured at his laugh and his beautiful ungodly features. How can someone be so beautiful ? He looked divine at that moment. When he regains himself he asks, "Shall I order for you ?".

I bite my lip and I almost miss the flicker of change in emotions in his eyes. "Yes. I would be grateful".

"Anything special ? Any cravings or allergies ? Something you don't like ?"

"Um.... well I love chicken but.... I don't exactly like seafood except fish. And I can go with lamb too."

"Alright"

Okay. I turn to Gabriel who has been quiet the whole time. He is not looking at me but glaring at the table instead. Yes. Glaring. If he had laser eyes, he would've made a hole to the other end of earth. I place my hand on his and get his attention looking at him with questioning eyes. But he just shrugs in reply and plasters a smile on his face. It wasn't a fake one but it wasn't a real one either.
