Chapter 3 Trouble Minded

- Rita's apartment -

(8:35pm)

Sounds of laughter could be heard from Rita's apartment as she and her friend, Alexa, were watching a TV programme.

"Gosh! It almost 9:00pm, I have to get home before gets really dark" Alexa said as she glanced at her wristwatch.

"Thanks for stopping by Alexa, I would have been bored the whole day if you didn't come" Rita said as Alexa took bag.

"That's why we are friends. See you tomorrow" Alexa replied.

They hugged briefly then Alexa walked out of the house.

"Get home safely" Rita waved as Alexa boarded a taxi.

The taxi drove off then Rita walked back inside and closed the door.

"Time to get some sleep" Rita yawned then she laid on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

- That Same Night -

(At Lucifer's Mansion)

Lucifer couldn't get Rita's image out of his head. He kept thinking about her ever.

It's strange to think of someone you hardly know anything about and that troubled Lucifer a lot.

He felt something when he saw her in the morning but he can't tell exactly what he felt.

Lucifer sat at the edge of his swimming pool with a stick of cigarette between his lips and a bottle of alcohol beside him.

He wore a black singlet and a short nicker. He always loved the atmosphere at night, the beauty of the stars in the sky and the cold night breeze soothed his fine skin.

"Hey bro, what're you thinking about?" Lucien asked as he walked towards Lucifer with a glass of wine in his right hand.

Lucien sat down beside him and took a sip from his wine.

"You seem troubled, mind telling me what's troubling you?" Lucien asked.

"It's nothing" Lucifer replied as he stared at the sky.

Lucien took another sip from his wine and he also gazed at the sky.

"I know you very well Lucifer and I know that your mind is troubled" Lucien said and Lucifer remained silent.

Lucifer dipped the head of his cigarette into an ash tray. Then he took the bottle of alcohol beside him and gulped some down his throat.

Lucifer spoke up after a minute of silence.

"It's been more than three thousand years since God banished me down to ea..."

"Us actually" Lucien interrupted him before he could complete his sentence.

"Whatever" Lucifer scoffed.

"So, is that why you're worried?" Lucien asked.

"No, that's not the reason why" Lucifer replied.

"Then what's it?" Lucien asked again.

Lucifer sighed loudly before answering.

"The curse"

"What curse?" Lucien asked with an arched brow.

"God cursed me that I'll never find a soulmate and even if I do find one, she would die" Lucifer replied and Lucien bursted into laughter.

"I thought you were worried about something serious" Lucien said and continued laughing.

"What do you mean?" Lucifer asked with a raised brow.

"I don't see any reason why you should be worried about a soulmate when there are lots of pretty ladies in the world that would kiss your shoes just to spend a night with you" Lucien said and sipped his wine.

"There must be a reason why God placed that curse on me. Everything God says or does has a reason and I'm sure you're aware of it" Lucifer said in a more serious tone.

"If you're really worried about that then I know of a lady who can be of help to you" Lucien said. Then he wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it over to Lucifer.

"How can a mere lady be of help to me?" Lucifer asked with a frown.

"She is no ordinary lady, she's a witch and she is very good at what she does" Lucien replied.

"Where does she lives?" Lucifer asked.

"7th street main state, the last building by the left. You'll see what I wrote in that paper in front of her house" Lucien replied.

Lucifer stared at the paper then he kept it inside his pocket.

"And how do I identify her when I get there?" Lucifer asked again.

"Here are some of her pictures" Lucien said, handing his phone to Lucifer.

"Jeez bro! I thought you said she's your friend!" Lucifer exclaimed as he took a look at the pictures on Lucien's phone.

"Yes, why?" Lucien replied

"Then why do you have her nudes on your phone when the both of you are just friends?" Lucifer asked with a raised brow.

"We are friends with benefits, I think that's what earthlings call it" Lucien replied with a grin.

"By the way, where is Lucius?" Lucifer asked.

"Oh! That manwhore is having a threesome inside" Lucien replied with a chuckle.

Lucifer shook his head and gulped more alcohol down his throat.

Lucien's phone ringed then he picked the call. He ended the call some seconds later.

"The girls are here" Lucien said as he stood up then he gulped the remaining content in his glass cup.

"You coming bro?" He asked Lucifer.

"Yeah, let's go fuck some hoes till sunrise" he replied with a devilish smile.
