Chapter 277: A Bet
"Come on out."
Evangeline hesitated for a moment, her gaze fixed on the message that Lucien had sent. It was unexpected for him to suggest going out when she had imagined something very different... But even as her face flushed about her imagination, she was secretly relieved. She liked Lucifer and he claimed he liked her but she felt they might be moving too quickly.
She wanted him and yet she did not want to want him. "But, you wanted him to come here, tonight, didn’t you? And now you are disappointed that he’s come like he promised but you won’t be able to have him... What relieved... You cannot lie to yourself." Her inner voice taunted her making her shake her head.
"I’ll be there in a moment.", she messaged him, trying to distract herself from what he might have to say about delaying their night together. Where would he take her tonight?
Grabbing a jacket for the wind, she quickly put it on and raced outside. Unexpectedly, he’d come in a car tonight..."
As she sat inside, she smiled at him brightly, "Hi! I thought you were taking me for a race again!"
Lucien smiled at her," Really? Is that what we planned?"
Evangeline shut her mouth at that. She wasn’t the one who’d changed the course of the evening. Then why was he questioning her? Did he want her to be the one to initiate everything? Like hel* she would be the one to say it.
Putting on her most innocent expression, she sighed," It wasn’t? Ahh, I don’t really remember what it was about." Turning her head, she looked outside and quickly changed the topic, " So, where are we going?"
