Cleo had been about to walk over to him hearing the glass break but stopped when she saw Katelyn over there. She finished the last of her water, choking slightly when he mentioned he was about to rip someone's head off. The feeling of his head against her shoulder, had her chuckling slightly while she patted his head gently. "Awwww, you wanted to keep me all to yourself? And a club is the last place I would think a couple could have a peaceful time at." Her heart jumped when he mentioned having a peaceful night with her. Does that mean there is the start of feelings for Lucifer? Why am I excited about the fact he wanted time with just me?

She set down her glass and looked over at Katelyn offering her free drink to her. "Here, I don't need this drink." Her eyes watched the other woman and she crossed her legs before lowering her voice. "Am I detecting a hint of jealousy coming from you my love? I haven't seen you this upset before." She rested her head against his for a moment before she stood and took his hand heading to the dancefloor. "Why don't we dance then?" She sidestepped Katelyn as they headed to the floor disappearing into the small crowd. After pausing for a moment, she spun and placed his hands on her hips before her arms wrapped around his neck.

"Well now you have me all to yourself? Which if this is what you wanted, why aren't we doing this at home where I could be cuddled up in my chair with my book and in sweats...way more attractive than this outfit." Even though there weren't very many people in the club, Cleo was still bumped into Lucifer by another person. Her body pressed up against his, but instead of pulling away like she normally would, Cleo rested her head on his shoulder closing her eyes. Why was the motion feeling more and more natural with him? Granted she did start this job with the secondary plot of getting Lucifer to gain his feelings but maybe she was getting a little more attached herself.

She had also gotten in contact with Selene just to give some updates and order some other dummies for her training. Thankfully the delivery men didn't ask many questions when they would leave the packages while she was at home or why she always looked like she was just getting out of a fight. At that moment though her mind wasn't worried about if anyone was trying to harm them or even what she needed to do in the next couple of weeks, it was focusing on the man in front of her. Cleo slowly lifted her head and searched Lucifer's face. "Do you want me to step back?"

She would have been lying to herself if she didn't admit that she enjoyed hearing him compliment her. She raised an eyebrow when he stopped himself and gently placed a hand on his cheek. Her eyes searching his face trying to see what he had been trying to say. "But I will say that I wouldn't have agreed to come out if I had mascara under my eyes." His comment about being possibly jealous cause a small chuckle as her fingers gently moved into his hair before resting on his shoulders.

Something about the way he was holding her felt as though they were two puzzle pieces that were fitting together perfectly. She scolded herself in her mind trying to remind herself not to let her own emotions wreak havoc on her choices or forget what she was really meant to be doing. Her job was to protect Lucifer with the side assignment of trying to have him show some emotions towards anyone other than just Selene. "Is everything alright?" Yes she noted that they called each other love and darling probably more than they needed to, but it seemed that each time it was spoken there was more feeling behind the words.

On a normal outing with her friends, Cleo probably would have gone for a body con dress and a pair of heels just to see how many free drinks she could get without talking to too many people. Many times she would flirt with some of the guys but ever since she started this assignment, she didn't feel the need to dress up or really try flirting with anyone else. Even though she wasn't really married to Lucifer, it still felt like she was cheating on him when it happened. There were times at the office though where she had been mistaken for flirting when she was just trying to be nice and help a couple of the other coworkers out. It was only after she had spoken with Gary and Lauren that she learned that two of the guys had been faking that they didn't know what to do or where to look.

She was about to speak again when a waitress walked over to them offering a remake of the drink that Lucifer had been drinking before their dance. "The lady at your table wanted me to deliver it to you. She also says your welcome." Cleo narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked towards Katelyn and noticed the smug look on her face. She did wait until the waitress was gone before muttering. "I wish I could remove that smug look from her face...it isn't a flattering look for her."

Her gaze had drifted back to Lucifer and missed Gary walk over to stand by Katelyn, leaning against the table as he whispered to her trying to look uninterested in what was happening. "Were you able to put the drug into his drink?" His gaze was on his own drink trying to appear like he was just waiting at the table for Cleo to return so he could sneak her away to talk. From the outside it would appear as though the two at the table were waiting for their partners to return from the floor rather than skeming to get rid of the female in Lucifer's arms to get at him.

For some reason it didn't feel like that had been what he was going to say but she didn't want to push the subject. His comment about her being jealous caused her to roll her eyes with a snort. "Me jealous? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?" At the end of the song, she pulled away slipping her hands into her pockets. Why was she feeling jealous? It wasn't like the two of them were really married or even together. Yet she still found herself annoyed with the fact that Katelyn had gotten him a drink when she was supposed to be the one covering them.

It did cross her mind that she should have let Lucious take this assignment instead of her when they were first joking around about the secondary assignment. She began to walk back to the table but was stopped by someone grabbing her arm pulling her back onto the dance floor. She jerked her arm back landing a hand against the man's cheek and walked towards the bar finding an open seat. She sat down with her arms folded anger rolling off of her as the bartender set down a glass of water in front of her.

Gary nodded. "You want to get back at him don't you? Make him feel the same pain that you felt when he left you?" He raised an eyebrow at the sound of a slap and shook his head chuckling. "Though she might be a bit more of a handful than we originally thought...we have to see if your drug works. But if they leave together, we will have to be patient and wiggle are way in a little more forcefully." He then stood up and walked over to sit by Cleo leaning his back against the bar.

"Did you really have to slap him? I am sure it was a simple mistake Lynne. But good on you not letting someone walk over you." Cleo looked over at Gary and shook her head with a sigh. "Why do guys think they can just pull people into dancing with them if it looks like they are leaving? My whole body is exhausted from working out earlier." A spark lit in his eyes and he chanced a glance to Katelyn as he made a note of Cleo's words.

"Well I can be your personal bodyguard for the rest of the night if needed. I mean what are friends for?" He gently took one of her hands in his own and gave it a friendly squeeze before lifting it to his lips to press a kiss against the soft skin. Even with all of the training and work she did with her hands, her skin was always silky soft and smelled faintly of vanilla and cherry blossoms. "Gary you are too nice of a friend for me. I don't know what I would do without you." Even if his actions appeared to be flirting to those around them, Cleo seemed oblivious to that fact. She was taking it as harmless banter instead of someone trying to capture her attention.

Gary playfully pouted when Lucifer walked away. Cleo watched him walk away before pushing Gary's shoulder. The pair had been talking when Lucifer stumbled back up to her. It was unsettling to see the puppy dog eyes and she stepped down from her seat. "Okay, love." Her eyes noticed his shiver and glanced to Katelyn narrowing her eyes. She wrapped an arm around his shoulders as they walked stepping out of Gary's reach as he tried to pull her back to him. "You both have a good night. My husband and I need to get home."

She held the door open for Lucifer and stepped out after him using her free hand to reach into his pocket to pull out the keys. "Are you sure we don't need to go somewhere else?" Worry filled her words as they walked up to the car. She unlocked the door and held open the passenger door. Even though she was worried about him, her movements were precise. Her hand rested on his lower back as she helped him climb into the car.

Once he was settled, she went over to the driver's side and climbed in turning on the car. "You know I would love to make some jokes but now is not the time." Something was not right and she was trying to go over in her mind who may have tampered with his drink or if the stories about his drinking ability had been more fallacy than truth. As she turned down the road that led to their home, she looked over at Lucifer and shook her head chuckling. "On the one night that we end up going out, you get drunk...Maybe I am not a very lucky charm for you."

She pulled into their drive and turned off the car pocketing the keys before she stepped out and moved over to help him. Seeing how unsteady he had been in the club, she offered her hand to him as she opened the door. "Are you ready my princess? Your humble abode waits." The light of the street lamp danced across her features as she smiled waiting for him to give her his hand. "I did have fun tonight love, even with having to cut it short. Honestly seeing you lighten up even just the smallest made it worth it for me."

The notion to say that she still owes him drinks crossed her mind but maybe if she didn't broach the subject, it might get forgotten and she wouldn't have to pay for even more. Goosebumps covered her arms as a shiver ran down her spine from the cool night breeze. "Also as much as I love waiting on you hand and foot, I would rather not freeze my hiney off out here."

As adorable as it was when she watched him hit his head and then have a childlike adoration at the window and lights, she was mentally spinning as he kissed her against the door. Her body instinctually leaned into the kiss as her arms wrapped around his neck. There was something about the truthfulness in his words and the intoxicating kiss that was blurring the line between work and play. One of her hands danced from behind his neck to his chest beginning to undo the top buttons of his shirt. There was an electricity flowing through her at his touch, that even though her mind was screaming to push him away and stop, her heart was practically screaming to keep going. She did push him away slightly once her hand finished with the buttons and while looking at him through her lashes, took a few shaky breaths.

“Lucifer...I could never truly hate anyone let alone you.” A huskier tone lined her words as she rested her head back against the door. “We should get you up to bed…” It was more of a murmur than a statement as she stepped away from the door keeping an arm around his shoulders as she began walking to the stairs. Outwardly there was a light dusting of pink on her cheeks but internally she was battling between her what her mind was saying and what her heart was feeling. As much as she wanted to feel his lips against hers again, she was trying to refrain from overstepping a line that she wasn’t sure she would be able to come back from.

She paused for a moment outside his door narrowing her brows in thought before pulling herself away from him. “Let me make sure no one has decided to sneak in. If someone did put something in your drink, maybe they had something planned for tonight…” Her training and logic finally winning the battle as she began to open his door slowly. Her eyes scanned the room looking for anything that would appear to be out of place.

Cleo was the opposite compared to Lucifer and how many times she had been in his room. Of course she knew what it was supposed to look like but she wasn’t a frequent flier. Once she had double checked every little hiding area in his room, she walked back over to him and wrapped her arm around his waist. “Time for bed for you...before we both do something we may regret.” His words about wanting her to be his and only his poked at the barricade that she was trying to build in her mind which caused another round of goosebumps to cover her skin, though these were not from a cool night breeze.

She turned Lucifer so that his back was to his bed before she made him sit down on the edge as she knelt down scanning his face with her eyes. One hand moved up to rest against his forehead double checking if he was running a fever. Her eyes kept moving to his lips even as she kept mentally saying she needed to look somewhere else...anywhere else lest he get the idea that she was wanting to kiss him. While she was getting lost in her thoughts, her hand had moved from his forehead to brush through his hair as her body leaned closer, her free hand on his knee to balance. “Also in answer to your question about the car shrinking on you, I will say that no I didn’t see it shrink and we have met before. It was only in passing a few times as I brought demons back to you or if I was looking for someone specific. We never talked or really acknowledged each other. Mainly I just tried to stay out of your way.”
