Chapter 297: So beautiful
Evana stepped into the bubble bath, slowly sitting down, letting the warm bath pull away the tension inside her. She sighed contentedly and leaned back her head as the stress melted away.
She smiled softly with her head leaning against the edge as she thought of the romantic proposal she had just witnessed. Never could she have imagined that the man known as
Demon would have such a soft side to him. When Lucien had whisked her away, just before midnight, telling her that he had something better to show than fireworks, she’d been amused.
And when those words had lit up... she shook her head at her own foolishness. Thank goodness she’d frozen for a moment, giving the others a chance to get there or she would have said yes. And that worried her. She wanted to say yes. If he really asked, she would jump at the chance.
This worried her even more so than before. Each minute that she spent with him, she wanted to hold onto as if it was the last. Soon, it would be time for him to return. What would she do then? Would he want a long-distance relationship? Would she?
Her inexperience worried her. Tomorrow, on the first day of the new year, she would ask him. She needed to stop burying her head in the sand and discuss the future. He’d already told her he liked her so how far did this liking stretch?
As the warm water-cooled, Evana reluctantly decided it was time to come out. She reached for a plush towel hanging on the side. As she tied the towel in a firm knot enjoying the immediate warmth it provided as she stepped out, only to hear her phone ringing in the distance.
Hurriedly, she raced outside and the caller id had her grinning widely. "Lucifer." Quickly, she answered the call, placed the phone on the dresser, and prepared to change into her nightwear as she spoke to him. It would be good to get into bed with his voice in her ear.
Quickly,she skipped towards the dresser, to grab her clothes when she heard a sharp intake of breath and Lucifer’s voice as he cursed. Surprised, she turned back only to notice his face on the screen, peering at her intently.
