Rogue was extremely satisfied when she saw Lucifer's face turned unnaturally dark. Serves you right. you want to bully me? Hahahaha dream on. She steadily stared at him as he visibly was restraining his temper. she knew he was about to blow his top. Rogue leaned her head on Ji's shoulder and he gently patted her hair.
Lucifer clenched his hands until he felt his nails digging into the palms of his hands, he slowly took small breaths until he slowly calmed down. "Even if you haven't agreed to marry me, you can't deny that there is an agreement between our families and we are expected to marry when we are old enough. In society's eyes we're as good as married already. Just imagine what people will say about you of it spreads out that you have a fiance and a boyfriend that you live with. The scandal would be huge!" Lucifer very sweetly smiled.
Rogue squeezes Ji hand hard and smiles back, "I'm sure people will realize that this engagement was forcefully imposed on me by your parents and my parents when we were just kids and they will realize that it should be broken. I'm pretty sure that they will be parading their daughter's in hopes of getting an engagement out of you." Lucifer snorts, "I already have a fiancee thank you very much. Unlike other people that I know, I'm a filial son. I'm an engaged man and I'm satisfied with my parents decision."
Rogue pales and her eyes got watery at his verbal jab about being a filial child to his parents. Lucifer saw her reaction and immediately regretted his words. Damn it, I forgot that the parents are a taboo subject for Rogue. "Rogue, I really want to discuss this only between us. We need to come to an agreement that will surely be beneficial for both of our families. Can you promise me that you will think about it?" Ji, Ron, Kimmy and Sam were giving him the stink eye after seeing how he hurt Rogue's feelings but kept quiet at the moment because it really was something between them and they didn't want to get into a big mess between the engaged couple. Leon and Rick were just stunned speechless with how insensitive and sarcastic Lucifer was towards Rogue. Leon whispered to Rick, " Shoot if I was Rogue, I would beat him bloody then kick him out. I think we should leave and take him with us asap." Rick shakes his head, "Nope, I'm not moving until he says he wants to go. I don't want to be his punching bag."
Rogue takes a deep calming breath, "Lucifer, I really don't want to marry you but I also don't want to go against my elders wishes and disrespect them. How about this. can we all calmly meet this weekend, your parents and my grandparents and discuss this?" Ji and Ron immediately glare at Lucifer and when he sees their dissatisfied faces it makes him feel warm and giddy inside. Yeah you bastards, try to take my angel away, in your dreams. Lucifer smirks at them and then gently smiles at a very nervous Rogue, "Sure. I think they are available this Saturday but I have a photo shoot early in the day and won't be available until after 4 PM. Since we're going to be friendly with each other how about you do me a favor?" Rogue thought about it for a moment and decided to try to keep him at least civil with her so she nodded yes. Lucifer grins, "Can you please come with me to the photo shoot? I know it's early but if the folks see that we're hanging out and being friendly they might be more relaxed and open to listen to us, hmm." Kimmy and Sam just snorts, yeah his trying to steal our girl and by the looks of it his going to succeed. Rogue tilts her head to the side and intently stares at Lucifer, "Why do I have the feeling that you're the big bad wolf and I'm little red riding hood? I'll go but step over the line once and i'll leave, understood?" Lucifer's wolfish grin gave everyone in the room chills down their backs. "Of course darling, whatever you say." The wolf was ready to eat this little girl, she looked mighty tasty to him.
