《Yours Faithfully》Chapter 18

Maisie
I'm nervous. I'm so so damn nervous. It's still noon and I have time to relax my mind but the thoughts about tonight's dinner, make my stomach roll in panic.
Lucifer didn't wanted to go to work but I requested him to go. He had already missed so many days on work and I don't want some more to add as my guilt.
'But I miss him' my inner self said immediately.
I took my phone and decided to call Bella. Since Ethan and Anna already left the city, I was feeling lonely but they promised they will return soon.
I talked to Bella on the phone. I told her about tonight's dinner and my panic attacks. I've already told her about Mr and Mrs Salvatore before and she clearly hate them. Then she told me about her and Sebastian's date tonight. I wished her all the best and vise versa before hanging up.
I dressed up formally as it was getting dark outside and they can be here any minute. I tied my hair into a classic bun and went downstairs. Lucifer arrived exactly at 5 pm and dismissed all staff members. Amy told me everything was cooked and went away. Now it's only me and my husband.
After Lucifer freshen up, we watched TV. We talked with exchanging few kisses here and there. After some time, Lucifer's phone rang and the guard informed us that Salvatores have arrived.
I immediately tensed up a bit. I tried my best to hide any signs of discomfort. The guards escorted them to living room. I was about to go to them and take Mrs Salvatore's coat but Lucifer tighten his grip on my waist, stopping me. I looked up at him in confusion but his face was rigid and blank. He was watching our guests keenly with zero expression in his face.

"Let's get done with this" he said with a bitter voice and made his way towards the dining hall, tugging me by my waist.
Once we all reached dining hall, we took our respective seats. Mr Salvatore was as rigid as Lucifer. Their faces were expressionless. On the other hand, Mrs Salvatore was glaring at me with eyes full of hatred and anger.
Just then I realized I've to serve them. I was getting up when Lucifer placed a hand on my thigh and stopped me. I again look at him. This time he said.
"They can serve themselves, love. The food is here, so are they" he snapped quickly, in a mocking tone.
Before I could say anything, Mrs Salvatore said, "But this isn't a way to treat guests".
"You are no guests. You two are just some unwanted people, who came to seek some attention" he scoffed.
"Lucifer it's-" she was cut off when Lucifer raised one eyebrow, daring her to finish her sentence. She gulped loudly and look away. Meanwhile, Mr Salvatore was not really watching the show. He was thinking something so hard, that frown lines were appearing on his forehead. Despite of the insults, he seemed unaffected.
"Now use your hands and serve yourself. Just eat and get out" my husband hissed menacingly. My sweet mother in law hurried and served herself food.
Unconsciously, one giggle left my mouth. I covered my mouth quickly in fear and shame. Lucifer watched me amused by my sudden laugh, whereas Mr Salvatore looked shocked. But Mrs Salvatore, Sofia, was another story. If before she was angry, now she was fuming. Raging with anger. I averted my eyes from her glare and looked down in fear.
It was calm. Dangerously calm
Deja vu
The hall was silent. There was no sound besides the clinking of spoons and forks on the plate. No one dared to say anything. The air was tensed. It was heavy.

There was a huge awkward tension in the air. And it was nearly suffocating me. But I didn't dare to say anything. Neither I looked up. I just put my whole concentration on my plate, eating my food.
Once the dinner was finished, I got up and cleaned everything. Thankfully he didn't stopped me this time but he helped me cleaning. When we were inside the kitchen, suddenly Mr Salvatore, Eric, came inside. He asked Lucifer about some stuff which were out of league and then went outside. Lucifer said he had something to discuss with his father and left to his study but not before pulling me into a heartwarming kiss.
I resumed my work and placed the leftovers inside the fridge. Just as I entered the living room Sofia came in front of me, with a wine glass at her right hand.
"I have something to talk with you" she snapped suddenly, Making me jump.
'Oh god, please save me'

Ephemeral Cycle
Mature +18[?]------Hiatus notice, I'll be rewriting this story heavily over the coming weeks. It isn't going where I wanted it to, bare with me for awhile. Ideally, a months time, but time will tell.------Andrew Marks, among over a million, 'players,' is forcibly recruited into a game where the reality and fiction interlace. Where the slightest error will spell death. For yourself, for your new found allies, or the world. 'Choices have consequences,' is a lesson the Corporation wishes to remind people. In this new world where many fall each and every day, a man simply tries to avoid it all, yet the world isn't so kind as to let him off so easily.--------Chapters do tend to be on the longer side, well, in comparison to other fictions I've read on this site. Typically anywhere from 2500-4500 words depending on my mood at the time.In addition chapter releases are largely dependent on my mood so it should have at least two chapter released a week, however, I'll be busy for the next bit so it will be subject to change. --------Anyways, please bare in mind this is the first creative writing piece I have created with the exception of a novel I started writing just prior to this one. I'd appreciate any help or guidance you may give me to better my writing. Be it characters, background or setting, I'm quite sure there are a few loopholes.This is intended for a mature audience, viewers discretion is advised. I digress, enjoy, rate, comment, and let me know how it's treating you so far! I'll take any help I can get!
