Mr. Devil

5) Oops

A couple of weeks pass, and I'm actually starting to like it here, in...hell...

Andrew introduced me to the servants, and I'm getting close with him and Tara.

I walk down the hall, and knock on Andrew's door. "Hey, do you think you could show me around...umm...hell?" I ask with a laugh. "Show you around?" he asks, tilting his computer screen down so I can see his face. I see his hair is wet, and hanging partially over his face, and he's wearing narrow black reading glasses, which make him look gorgeous, and older, in a way.

"Hey," I say, walking over to the bed, and sitting up next to him. "I never thought about this 'til now...but how old are you?" I ask curiously, looking up at him. "Uhh..." he hesitates. "Please?" I ask. "A couple...centuries old..." he says. "What?!" I ask in shock. "Yeah..."

"How is that possible?" I ask. "Well...I age slower. How do you think it's possible that we made a deal, I won, and now you're in a bed in hell?" he asks with a laugh. "Next to me?" he adds, smiling and raising an eyebrow.

"Perv." I roll my eyes, smiling, and rest my head on his chest, tucking my legs up into a ball.

Our relationship is kinda weird, at this point. It's somewhere between friends and dating, though leaning more towards dating. But we haven't kissed yet...

"I've been stuck here for two weeks... Will you please take me out? " I ask quietly, looking up at him. "Sure, baby. Just let me finish this." he says, typing something on the computer. "Okay." I wrap my arms around his waist, and close my eyes, in an attempt to nap.

"Wake up, puppy."

I crack one of my eyes open, and I see Andrew next to me, holding his head up with his hand. "W-what?" I ask in confusion. "You slept for a bit. Do you still wanna go out?" he asks, folding his arms and resting his head on them, looking me in the eyes.

"Yeah... I gotta get ready, though." I say, rolling over onto my back. "Okay. I got you a bunch of new clothes." he points to the wall closet on the right, which is slightly open, revealing lots of beautiful clothes. "Wow...thanks..." I say in amazement.

I got dressed in a blue sundress, and he wore a white t-shirt with blue jeans. We walk to the door, and he opens it slowly. I've never been outside here before... I look out, and it's all red... Like a cave, with stalactites and stalagmites, but...red...

"It's...wow..." I say, looking around. There's no sky, just more red. The only change in color being the black of the shadows. There are a few buildings around the place, and nobody for miles. "Don't like it? I know it's a bit weird to get used to..." he says. "Whoa! Watch it!" he grabs me by the waist, and pulls me close to him. As I'm about to ask why, I see I almost stepped into a huge hole. "Whoops."

He laughs and lets me go, leading me in another direction. "Is this better?" he snaps his fingers, and the ceiling turns to a sky, with a sun. The floor turns into green grass, and the holes patch up. "Wow!" I say in amazement. I look back to the mansion, which has now taken a modern wood/stone design.

He takes my hand and leads me down behind a brick building, where there are trees and flower bushes. "It's beautiful..." I say, looking around. "And you can make this anything you want?"

"Pretty much." he snaps his fingers, and it gets stormy, with lightning and thunder. He snaps them again, and back to sunny.

As I'm looking around, he grabs my other hand, and pushes me back up against the wall. After getting over the shock of his quick movement, I come to my senses. He presses his lips against mine, pinning me up against the wall. Almost against my will, I feel myself kissing back. His hands trail down my sides, and down to my lower back. I run my fingers up his neck and through his hair, and he groans quietly, holding me tighter.

We pull away for a breath, and he rests his forehead on mine, with his hands still on my hips. "I wish you had come along sooner..." he says softly.
