Chapter Fifty Two


    Several days had passed since the incident with Vi and Lucifer was searching for ways to apologize to her for his unruly behavior. Lucifer knew he shouldn’t have just kissed her like that but he was caught up in her eye. Although Vi may be pissed at him, he knew for sure that what they shared would be in her memory till date.


    Standing before her room,  Lucifer sighed a bit before knocking on the door. He waited for sometime and head ruffling inside the room before it was finally opened.


    The moment Vi set her eyes on Lucifer, she wanted to close the door on him immediately but he prevented her.


    “Please Vi, hear me out” He pleaded trying to match up her strength as she tried pulling the door.


    “Let go Lucifer, I don’t want to hear any of it” She replied.


    “Look, I am sorry for the other day. I know what I did was inappropriate and I really need you to forgive me” He said still gazing at her, regardless of the fact that she wasn’t looking back.


    “I want to make it up to you Vi, please I beg you” Lucifer’s voice had gone soft and hoped that she was considerate enough judging from her sudden calm gesture.


    “Lucifer, you made Dave call me names. I thought you should know that we were dating” Lucifer stared at her in disbelief. Dave and Vi were saying? He thought to himself. He remembered there was a certain time when Vi had made mentioned of the fact that she didn’t date men, she killed them.


    “You both dated?” Lucifer asked in disbelief.


    “Yes and though I didn’t tell you, I still have feelings for him. After what he saw in the kitchen, he hated me and each time I tried to beg him, he keeps shunning me out” Lucifer could read the emotions in her voice as she spoke. He needed to take that sad countenance away. An Idea came to his head


    “You may consider me as a jerk, but I don’t think you should be this moody. That is why I am begging you to give me the opportunity of taking you out” Vi looked at him for a second. As much as she didn’t want to have anything to do with Lucifer again, she couldn’t deny that the sudden found chemistry is making her wants to ept his offer.


    “And where should we be headed to?” She asked folding her arms with the same gaze of curiosity in him..


    “I don’t know how you feel about clubbing” He rubbed the back of his head hoping to get positive reply. Part of him knew that getting a positive reply from Vi was going to beplicated but he could only try his luck..


    “Are you being serious Lucifer? Aa club? Not even a treat but a club” Vi asked in disbelief.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    “I am a wild person and though you would deny it, you are like me in numerous ways, the wild and savage Vi” She smiled inwardly at thement as it truly reflect her character.


    One thing Vi had to admit to was the fact that Giovanni happened to be the only one who could understand her alot. Dave may be close to the perfection of gentleman, she could not deny that she needed someone who was wild and since Lucifer was such person, their chemistry was all that matter.


    “Alright, I will go with you” Lucifer smiled happily before allowing the door free.


    “Will pick you up by eight” he said before leaving.


    **********


    When they arrived at one of Russia’s best clubs, Vi felt in another world entirely. The st of music from the speakers caused lots of people move their hips in rhythm to the beat. She already felt like dancing on her own part but resisted the urge. Lucifer took her to the counter which was far away from the dance hall. The bar man served them ss of vodka and Vi wasted no time in gulping down the substance.


    Lucifer was certain he hadn’t been this part of her before. He watched as she ordered for another bottle after finishing up the first bottle on the table.


    “Are you really trying to get yourself drunk?” He asked her as she poured half bottle into the ss and waited for the gas to ferment before gulping it.


    “You may not understand but I have a thing for parties; before signing the contract that made me Leo’s escort, I used to go clubbing literally every week” Lucifer smiled as he watched on. She was certainly trying to loosen herself. He had to admit that she certainly needed it after all she had gone through today and previous days with the silent treatment from Dave.


    “I feel like dancing” She stated, getting off the chair.


    “Hold up a bit there” She pouted her lips as Lucifer got hold of her. He noticed she was already intoxicated and knowing the fact that these Russian men here were  perverts, they could take advantage of her.


    “I will dance with you” He said with a smile.


    Vi couldn’t understand all she was doing, she felt her legs failing her but she tried topose herself as she dancing to the Afro dance hall songs sting from the speaker.


    “Which song is this” She shouted out to Lucifer.


    “I don’t know but I think it should be Nigerian, I have heard this song before on tiktok. It is a sensation” Vi nodded and though she didn’t know the song, she sang along to the hook, moving and swaying her hips. Lucifer held her waist and to his surprise, she didn’t push him away and infact gave him ap dance.


    After twenty minutes of dancing, she felt the room suffocating her and grabbed Lucifer who looked at her with a questioning look and head outside the dance floor.


    “It’s way too hot in there” Vimented as she came out, staggering a bit. Lucifer was still sober; he didn’t wanted to have excess drink like Vi had so they could arrive their apartment safely.


    “Why don’t we leave this ce, it’s bing rather tiring” Lucifer suggested. It was actually a lie; he didn’t want Vi going to the dance floor and having to drain all her energy.


    “Can I get a bottle of Vodka before we go?” Vi asked as she hupped a bit. Lucifer sighed to himself wondering why he had even made the suggestion that theye for clubbing in the first instance.


    “Stay right here, I will be back” He said before hurrying back into the club and searching his way down to the counter where he was rather lucky to purchase thest bottle. Moving outside the club, he was shocked to see a stranger trying to take advantage of Vi in her drunk state.


    “Get your filthy hands off her” Lucifer said with greeted teeths. The Russian didn’t budge as he fondled her hair while Vi looked on like she was a statue.


    “She is beautiful I know but I met her here first and so, she is mine to keep” He said, holding her waist closer to himself. Before Lucifer could retaliate, he watched in amazement as Vi flipped the Russian over like a piece of paper.


    “That you should teach you a lesson on how to treat women” She was definitely intoxicated but still had her sense of pride and logic even though they were wavy.


    “You bitch” As the Russian stood up to attack her once more, Vi brought out her gun, aimed it at him causing him to stop in his tracks and raising his hands up in defeat.


    “One more step from you and I won’t hesitate to blow your brains out” Lucifer stood there star strucked at the event that unfolded before his eyes.


    “Now scram!” The Russian fled away causing Lucifer tough at the way the Russian ran out; like a chicken in heat.


    “You thought I was fully intoxicated didn’t you” Vi asked putting the gun away.


    “I actually thought of it that way” He admitted.


    “Got the bottle of Vodka?” She asked as they head towards the road in search of a cab.


    “Yes I did” He smiled as she held unto his hands.


    When Lucifer and Vi arrived at their apartment, Dave was seated at the living room watching Netflix. Once he noticed theme in, he was surprised to see Vi was really drunk. This caused him to be pissed and approached the duo


    “Where the fuck did you take her to?” Dave asked Lucifer as he tried to aid her up the stairs.


    “We went partying!” She eximed.


    “Fuck Vi, you are drunk” Dave replied holding his nose at the stench of alcohol.


    “Yea I know but I don’t care” She said almost staggering but was held up tight by Lucifer.


    “This is not you Vi” She steadied herself up and approached Dave as Lucifer bwatched closely as the duo shared intense eye contact.


    “I don’t care what the world thinks Dave and I certainly do not care what you have to say. I cannot change because of you nor anyone. This is who I am and If you don’t like me, I will advise you fuck off my life” Dave on the other hand looked shocked. Vi had never talked back at him and he tried to me it on the alcohol.


    “This new act of yours could ruin our rtionship” Viughed at hisment causing Dave to stare at her in confusion.


    “Rtionship? The same rtionship that we had years back that almost ruined my life?” Lucifer had folded his arms as he watched on.


    “Ruined your life Vi? You admitted to me that I was the best man you had evere acrossed”


    “I lied! I couldn’t deny the fact that you were caring but you weren’t my type. I wanted to be wild and every time I see you, I couldn’t unleash that part of me that is hidden” Dave tried as much as possible to console himself with the fact that she was certainly intoxicated but the saying that we speak out how we feel when we are drunk made him believe that everything Vi was saying were poured out of her emotions.


    “You know what Dave, I don’t think we arepatible. And I really want to apologize for ever hurting your feelings the day I kissed Lucifer but the truth remains that we cannot date. I thought we could work, I tried everything to make this work but it couldn’t work” Lucifer who had been watching the entire time decided it was time he stepped in and aided her up the stairs. As they climbed the stairs slowly because of Vi’s drunk state, Dave called her name once more.


    “So this is it? You are practically saying we are no longer an item?” Lucifer could see the hurt in his eyes.


    “Am sorry Dave but its true. Love cannot be forced, it flows naturally” She said and Lucifer carried her carefully up till she was in her room.


    Considering how drunk she was, Lucifer knew that she could doze off immediately she touched the bed and so, thought it would be better to bathe her and change her into something befitting for her to sleep.


    He undressed her gently and was surprised that she let him do it. He tried to avoid having to lust on her beautiful body and took her to the bathroom. He bathe her ordingly, scrubbing every part of her body and aftermath wrapping a big towel around her body to dry off the waters.


    Once he was done, he searched through her wardrobe for pyjamas and luckily founc one and dressed her into them and aided her to the bed gently. He used the duvet to cover her gently and as he watched her sleep peacefully, he smiled to himself. He couldn’t have asked for anything more than to be with Vi.


    As he slowly tiptoed out of the room not to wake her up, he heard her mumble some words that made him turn in disbelief before concluding that she was probably still intoxicated. Regardless, those words resonated in his ears. They were just three words, one that he had always hoped she will say to him one day.


    “I love you”
