Cafe.

The duo rode the bus together, Crimson propped herself on her knees and looked through the window, easily distracted by the passing cars and buildings. Meanwhile Random sighed relief that she hadn’t caused any trouble. What felt like forever the bus finally made its way into town and dropped the two of them off.

Random walked ahead and the creature forward. “Morningstar.” Crimson read the sign of the small café they ended up at. “Now that’s cute,” she said sarcastically.

The boy couldn’t help but laugh at the irony. “Yeah, this town has a habit of naming buildings after mythological figures.” He explained out of habit himself, from talking to his friends online. “I always thought it was an attempt to make these boring places sound exciting and…”

“Mouse, I don’t care.” She cut him off before he could finish, bruising his ego.

“Right… Well, if I remember this is where I fell asleep that night…”

“And you ended up in my clutches.” She finished his sentence but with her own little twist. “Aren’t you a little young to be falling asleep in a shithole like this?” She gave him a false display of worry and expressed her opinion.

“I'm a good friend with the owner he doesn’t mind, but I wouldn’t say that to his face.” Words he hoped he wouldn’t regret.

They walked into the empty cafe and took a seat at the counter. The manager had his back to them before Random reached out and tugged on his shirt. “Hey, Alistair?” The man jumped at his name being used and turned around. A blonde man in his late twenties with green eyes, that spoke in an Irish accent.

“Yer tryin' ter give me a 'eartattack?! Ah, it's yer 'handsome lad, years last seen yer and who is yisser wee lass 'ere.” He spoke cheerfully.

“Well aren't you a cute one.” Crimson faced Alistair as she slipped one smooth leg over the other and her tail sprung free, swaying slowly to the man’s voice.

“This is my...” The young man stared at her, disgust filling his mind with their next words. “She’s my sister, my little sister. Dad got her in the divorce.” Crimson broke out of her hunger for the manager and looked at Random, surprised by how easy the lie spilled from his lips. "And laying the accent on thick today aren't you?”

“Ha, you got me gorgeous just testing yer that’s all.” The older man replied and so did my demon friend

“And not trying to impress me?” Crimson said

He turned to Crimson “Yer got a sharp tongue miss I can tell we’re going to be good friends.” Alister’s interest didn’t linger on the creature for long before turning back to his favourite costumer. “Why dedn't yer bring her de other day? Yer practically fell asleep lad. Bored out yer god damn fooking mind, a sad sight indeed.” A colourful retelling on what happened. “So now what yer be having?”

“You know what I usually have and how I like.” He spoke in a straight forward manner not wanting to be embarrassed in front of the ‘Snake’.

“Ah tea is it? Never would’ve guess dat, you had tea yesterday, the day before that and the day before that, not to forget the day before that.”

“JUST MAKE THE TEA?!” He shouted at the Irishmen who loved taking the piss out of his friend before he turned to the 'Snake’ with a smile on her face and with new material to work with. “Fuck!”

Crimson’s voice in my head “Never understand why you humans drink the same thing over and over; what do you get out of it?”

He looked at her like they’d asked him what the meaning of life was. Strange but it did give him an idea. “Hey, Al do you still make a good milkshake? My sis. She has a crazy sweet tooth.”

A little peeved she didn’t get an answer but stilled humoured her human. “This better be good or I’m burning this shithole to the ground.”

“Yer bet your sweet ass I do.” A few minutes passed and the man returned with their refreshments leaving them in peace.

“Oh my Hell this is good.” Crimson broke the silence with her sultry tone and orgasmic smile.

“So I take it you're not going to burn down the place?”

“I didn’t say anything yet,” She said cheerfully before changing the subject. “That Alister, he wants to fuck you.” Random spat, almost **** on his drink from the comment. “That hot bastard always kept his eyes on you and paying no attention to me.”

However, this did provide a chance to get some answers. “He's not the only one it seems, I appreciate the blow job from last night.”

The demon acted human and choked on her own drink. “You were awake for that weren’t you?”

“Just a bit, care to tell me what that was about?”

“I don’t have to tell you anything!” Enraged she stormed off before Random could get a chance to respond.

“I’ll wait for you outside then?” He paid the bill before heading to the exit.

A minute turned to twenty and impatience got to the young man before he decided enough was enough and left, but not after catching a figure in the corner of his eye.
