The Devil Wears Pink (Ben Hargreeves) [discontinued]

CHAPTER FOURTEEN - DIEGO'S GIRLFRIEND...

"so...you have a girlfriend ey?" lilith asks as she and diego walk side by side on the way to the motel that diego's girlfriend has instructed them to do

from the corner of her eye, she could see diego slightly tense up at her question "s-she... she isn't my girlfriend" diego whispers under his breath, but enough for lilith to hear

lilith takes out a cigarette and lighter from her coat "whatever you say bro" she lights up her cigarette and takes a puff

"so how exactly did you meet this..." lilith trails off, waiting for diego to finish for her and sure enough he does

"eudora? we met when i was still in some police academy back then" diego answers vaguely, but by the tone of his voice he didn't really need lilith pressing him for more answers

lilith puffs out a smoke ring, a trick she had learned when she was seventeen "well, it sounds like you really cared for dora"

"eudora" diego corrected

lilith lets out a hearty laugh "what a coincidence! diego and dora dating, that's weird"

diego chuckles at her sudden realization "i'll say, aren't they related?" he and lilith look at each other at the same time

lilith smirks "so are allison and luther, but hey that's not stopping him is it?" she asks, smiling cheekily

"so were you and ben"

lilith's heart stopped for a few seconds, but with one deep breath, the dark moment passed her by easily as wind

diego soon realizes his error and quickly apologizes "shit...i'm sorry lil i really am-"

lilith hushes him, she smiles gently at him and shakes her head "it's fine, no really it is you little momma's boy" she playfully punches his shoulder

diego chuckles and ruffles her hair. lilith squeals and pushes him off, trying to pat down the mess he made

————————————————

"i thought she said she'd wait...?" lilith asks unsure of the current situation

as they arrived in the cheap rundown motel, she wasn't there like she had said

"you don't think i'm just as confused?" he retorts as they walk through the rooms of the motel

"jeez it was fucking question diego, i wasn't asking you to break down the plot of riverdale, it was a fucking-" she cuts herself off, hearing a creak of a door a few feet away from them

"what's up?" diego asks from behind her, lilith hushes him, slowly creeping over to the sound of the door

"i heard a door creak open"

"well not shit sherlock, it's a motel!" lilith rolls her eyes and turns around

"diego, can you just trust me right now? i think i got this!" she then returns to her search but diego's quick to get in her nerves again

"think? you think you got this? well just great-"

but before he could finish, lilith stops him and points at an open motel door
