When questions arise

I was nearly fired.

Waking up to the sound of my alarm, I was sure that yesterday was a dream. But as I got up to go to the restroom, I saw the plastic bags of the food that had been ordered, the sink filled with the dishes.

So yes, everything that went on yesterday had been very much real. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, brushing the tangles in my hair as I slipped on a plain shirt, and grabbed my laptop. Logging in, I typed my employee I.D., and slid on my headset.

The clinic didn't open until eight-thirty, but I still had to be there to handle the calls, and insurance queries. My focus just wasn't there though.

It was on Loss, and his stupid remarks and his somewhat pretty eyes.

I answered another call, trying not to lose my patience when a thirty something Karen called to complain about a vaccine that we hadn't gotten into the clinic just yet. She wanted to speak to someone, not me, not someone else.

As we talked in circles, I could feel the little patience I had begin to dwindle, my fingers running through my hair in stress.

At the last moment, the call dropped, a breath of relief being released from me as I slumped in my chair.

Suddenly, I felt two large hands on my shoulders, squeezing a bit, and I jumped, looking over to see Loss standing there, a frown on his face.

"I heard everything she said and it got on my nerves." He replied simply, massaging me gently.

"D-did you make the call cut off?" I sputtered, trying to pull away from him.

He let go, though his eyes drifted down to my bare legs, and I blushed. Of course he'd come back and I'd be in no pants.

I tried to hide them by casually pulling my shirt more down, making the collar plunge a bit down.

His eyes drifted back up, and he looked at me.

"My apologies, would you like to fuck?" He asked bluntly, no teasing or anything to make it seem like he was playing.

If my face could go any redder it would. I backed away, trying to form sentences, then sputtering because I couldn't believe just what he was saying.

He looked confused, taking a step closer, reaching out for me.

"Stop!" I squeaked out, as he was a foot from me.

"Why? I was told you were very sexual and needed pleasuring." He answered, as he slipped off his shirt, revealing nicely formed pecs, his stomach lined with abs.

Against my will, my eyes drifted down, and I gasped in shock, pressing back on the wall.

Who had told him that? I wasn't some sex goddess if that was what he was getting at.

Then he began to undo his pants, and at that point, I had enough. I shouted out, turning around and walking away, my hands covering my eyes.

"Stop, what is your problem?!" I said, still not facing him.

"Is this not what you wanted? You gave out so many signals yesterday, and today. I'm only doing what you command." He replied.

"Please, I'm just trying to get through this shift!" I said, taking a peek back at him. He was still missing his shirt, but other than that, was still fully clothed.

"You are choosing to go back to work?" He asked, confusion in his words.

He seemed confused on why I was choosing work over sex.

I nodded, and heard him pick his shirt back up. When I finally dared to look at him, he was sitting back on the couch, gesturing me to continue with my work.

Sighing in relief, I walked back to my tiny desk, staring in horror at my laptop screen.

I had over thirteen missed calls from patients, and two missed from my boss.

Taking a deep breath, I re-dialed my boss's, wringing my hands so tight, my knuckles turned white.

My boss screamed at me for fifteen minutes, but accepted the flimsy excuse that the wifi had been momentarily shut off at my apartment.

Loss looked angry as he glared at my phone where my boss was giving me an earful. But thankfully he stayed in place, letting me handle it.

After that, the next three hours before my lunch arrived went smoothly. I clocked out for the mandated hour lunch, heading to my kitchen to re-heat the leftovers from yesterday.

Then Loss was there, standing behind me, as his hands were placed on my hips, his fingers tracing the material of my underwear.

"Is now the time I ask if you'd like to fuck?" He whispered in my ear, and I shivered, goosebumps trailing on my arm.

Then his hand wandered to the flat of my stomach going up towards my chest.

My face was once again red, as I turned to look at his chest, my hands pushing him back. He was backed against the sink, his eyes wide in surprise.

"Stop! I don't want to have sex with you!" I said angrily, my hands balled to fists.

He looked at my face then, nodding as he finally got it.

"My apologies, madam." He said, as he sauntered back to the couch.

I wanted to ask him what he meant by that, but instead decided to heat up my food, hunger getting at me.

Against my better judgment, I heated up food for Loss, bringing the plate over to him. He accepted it, scarfing down the noodles.

I sat back at my desk, enjoying the dumplings, and biting into a crunchy egg roll. I had a lot of questions, but I decided to wait until I was done with work. No point in trying to get the answers of the world in an hour.

I studied Loss for a bit, his focus on the food in front of him. He was such a strange person, and to be honest, I didn't know what to make of him.

As the hour ticked by, I sighed, placing my dirtied dishes in the sink, and clocking back to work.

  • The secrets between us   Reborn

    Everything feels off as I gaze at the demons that had tried to revive us back to life. My body has no aches and it feels like I've taken a long nap. Grogginess overcomes me, and I rub my eyes. Loss sits up looking down at himself, and then runs over to where I am, placing his hands on my face, and turning me this way and that. I slap his hands away, and he smiles, kissing both of my cheeks. "How do you feel?" Lucifer asks warily, dismissing the other demons. They bow, and disperse from the area. "I feel fine." I say, opening my hands and then closing them. "It's like sleep was all we needed to heal." Loss says, moving his arms up and down, as he stretches. "Well, something like that." Lucifer says, as he holds out the coin of Enoch, hand trembling. "This coin was activated by I don't know what, and then symbols appeared and settled over the both of you." We both stared at him as if he was crazy, but he sighed, handing the coin off to Loss. "I

  • The secrets between us   Pacing, heart racing

    The demons carry the bodies of Loss and Josie as they enter them into healing side of the castle, pressing hellfire stones on to their wound and skin. Their color is changing though at a quicker speed, looking more ash colored than anything. "The stones aren't working." one demon tells Lucifer, and he glares at the Enoch coin in his palm, a faint glow coming from it. "Those angels never know what's going on." Lucifer muttered, clenching the coin in his hand, as he ordered the other demons to bring in more hellstones, and to place it on all of the exposed skin they could. The demons nodded, placing them all over Loss, and Josie, and there was only a slight change in their ashy color. What are we going to do, Lucifer thought, these two were the only ones who had a chance to stop Asherah. Loss twitched in his sleep, his breathing becoming more labored. One demon placed his fingers just under his nostrils, trying to see if he could feel the

  • The secrets between us   Sudden movements

    They barrel towards me, and I spring up, my wings helping me dodge their so many hands. I concentrate on not getting taken, zig-zagging from one place to the other. Loss is fighting them off, blinking from one spot to the next, his weapon glowing black like midnight. The sword cuts the creatures in half, or they lose a limb, black flames engulfing them. Something latches on my back then, and I cry out, fingers wrapping around my throat as I'm dragged down. Nonononono More hands grab my arms and legs in place, as they yank me down. Loss is in front of me, slicing the arms off of me. He grabs me, and I grip on the coin tightly. The limbs of the creatures twitch as the black flames eat them away. I close my eyes, and take a deep breath, letting the demon of me awaken. My wings are bigger, and the scales on my skin shine like a polished snake's. I look around, my eyesight now one of accurate aura reading. I glare and target them two at a time, ripping out their throats with my claw

  • The secrets between us   The new species

    The things crawl out of the destroyed remains of the cabin, it's one eye blinking as it tries to sniff me and Loss out. I can feel my body freeze in place in shock, having never seen whatever this was. Loss curses, and I struggle to be freed of his arms, as I don't want to weigh him down. But Loss holds on, and flies forward, the thing screeching behind us. I steal a glance, seeing how extra limbs appear then disappear to help with it's movements, it's neck stretching like an iguana's tongue, the bulbous head shifting from side to side from the weight of the head, and the weak support of the neck. The skin of the creature is grayed and peeling, crakcs showing around the nostrils, and eyes, long teeth looking like splintered wood. Shivers rushed through me as it locked eyes with me, beady red eyes staring me down. "Loss let me go." I whispered, and Loss blinks us out of existence, the familiar crackle of flames surrounding us making the location known.We're back in hell.We place

  • The secrets between us   Breaking reality

    God is gone. Sealed away into a different part of the universe. But Asherah has escaped. And she is free. She knows exactly what she wants to do. We're up in the air, our wings tangled as we spin in slow circles. Loss has me against his bare chest, his warmth intermingling with my own. Music doesn't play, yet we continue to sway, and Loss kisses my temple, running a hand through my hair. I smile softly, leaning up to kiss his lips, and his arms around my waist tighten. Since the whole sealing-the-gods-away issue passed, it was just nothing but peace. The humans continuesd to worship their God, normalcy returned on earth. As thunder sounded, Loss looked into the distance. I wondered what he saw, or what he was thinking as his body tensed, and he held me away from the sky for a bit. "Loss." I said, cupping his face so he would look at me. He looked down, eyes tensed, mouth turned down. "It's okay. It's over." His gaze softens, and he presses h

  • The secrets between us   Temporary

    There is a staircase that leads the upper world to the underworld. It's different, it's something that both demons and angels use. A truce was drawn up by Lucifer and the leader of the angels, though I'm not really sure of it. Loss and I spend our time on earth, glamoured as humans. I don't try to go back to my old life, cutting my ties with my adoptive family. Although it hurt, I made sure to erase the memories of me from them as well. Loss was there, a hand placed between my shoulder blades. His touch was always welcomed, bringing comfort. Since we returned back to earth from the hidden realm in heaven, things were different. I was more aware of him, and he was more alert of me in case there was danger ready to start again. I noticed that the burnt marks on his chest, and upper stomach were healed over, just the smallest of scars covering it. We go wherever we want, not hearing from Lucifer as much. He's busy working on the truce not just between the angels and d
