Chapter Three
"And here we have the living room." said the broker, smiling.
Lucifer had kept his promise. He had acquired particulars, set up an account - with loads of money, although she didn't really need that much, but he had insisted (Well, not really, he'd just ignored her protests.) - and now they were searching for an apartment.
"What do you think?" Lucifer asked her quietly, eyeing the room.
"It's nice. I like it." she answered. And she really did. The apartment wasn't too big nor was it too small, like the others they had visited. And when you looked out the window you could see a small park.
"Do you want to take it, or would you like to visit another apartment?" he asked. She could see that he didn't really want to visit another, but he was a man who kept his promises, even if that meant searching for apartments.
"I'll take this one. When can I move in?" she asked, turning to the broker.
"Excellent choice. You can move in whenever you want to. The furniture is inclusive, but you can remove it, if you don't like it." replied the woman, still smiling.
"Oh, I think I'll keep it." said Alexiel.
"Very well. Now you just have to sign the lease and then you can move in."

It had been two months since her moving in. She was now on a shopping spree with her new friend, Himeko. Himeko had knocked on her door, saying that she lived right next door and just wanted to welcome her. Himeko had a bright and cheerful personality which Alexiel had liked almost instantly. To her, Himeko seemed so innocent, something she had never been able to be. Maybe that's just what had drawn her to the mortal girl.
"Hey Alex! Look at this!" called Himeko, standing in front of a shop's window. She had short black hair and wore a yellow summer dress.
"Dessous? Why do you want to buy dessous?" she asked, glancing at her friend.
"Not me, silly! You!" replied the short haired woman. "I don't think that those dessous would suit me anyway. Your figure is much better than mine."
Now she was a bit dumbfounded. "....Me? Why?"
"Well, I thought..." Himeko trailed off.
"Yes, you thought?"
"Your boyfriend---"
She silently groaned. Not again! "He is not my boyfriend. Just how many times do I have to tell you that?" she replied slightly annoyed.
"Would he say that too?" asked the short haired woman slyly.
"Himeko!" she warned.
"Hey! I have every right to believe that he is your boyfriend! Didn't he knock on your door two weeks ago and left only the next morning? You can't tell me that you two just talked!"
"I explained it already! It's because of his work! And yes, we did talk. And no, we did not sleep with each other!" Alexiel replied angryly.
"I get the point, okay? Still, he is really sexy, you should make a move." said Himeko.
"That's enough!" and with that she turned and stalked away.
"Hey wait, Alex! Alexiel! Please, wait!!"
Sighing, she slowed down. She normally wasn't that touchy...
"I'm sorry, Alex." Himeko apologized.
She sighed again. "It's okay. Just... Let's change the subject."
