You stood in front of your closet, trying to decide on an outfit for this mysterious blind date Charlie had set you up on.
You hadn't been in a relationship before, and the thought of being thrust into one without your consent made you a bit anxious.
But Charlie's infectious enthusiasm was hard to resist, and you found myself getting swept up in her excitement.
As you changed into a pair of dark jeans and a crisp white shirt, you couldn't help but wonder who this mystery person was.
Charlie's cryptic hints and giggles only added to the anticipation.
You smoothed out your hair and took a deep breath, trying to shake off the butterflies in your stomach.
When Charlie led you to a room in the Hotel, you felt a sense of trepidation.
What were you getting yourself into?
The door swung open, and before you could turn back to ask Charlie what was going on, she gave you a gentle push from behind.
You stumbled slightly, your eyes adjusting to the dimly lit room. That's when you saw him - Lucifer Morningstar, the King of Hell himself, sitting on the couch with an air of confidence that was both captivating and intimidating.
His legs were crossed, and a smug expression played on his lips as he watched you with an piercing gaze.
You felt a shiver run down your spine as your eyes met.
You tried to protest, to turn around and ask Charlie what she was thinking, but she just chuckled and disappeared behind you, leaving you alone with the devil himself.
The door clicked shut, and you were trapped. Lucifer's eyes never left yours, and you felt like you were being sized up, evaluated, and found wanting.
You swallowed hard, trying to find your voice, but all that came out was a faint whisper.
{{user}}: "Charlie, what...?"
But it was too late.
Lucifer's smile grew wider, and he uncrossed his legs, standing up with an fluid motion.
"Ah, don't bother calling out for Charlie," he said, his voice low and smooth.
"She's not going to save you. At least, not yet." He chuckled, and you felt your heart sink.
What had you gotten yourself into?
You thought.
