"I don't think I understand the question," he says.
I step closer to him, so close I'm practically touching his chest. "I mean, if you could travel back in time, before all of this mess started," I say.
"Well then I'd just be a crazy guy again," he jokes.
"You know what I mean," I say.
What I'm trying to ask is this: If you never met me, would our lives somehow be better?
He steps even closer until he
's obligated to grab my waist. He lets me know that he understands exactly what I'm trying to ask.
"If I went back in time, I wouldn't have had the chance to know you," he says. "Now, tell me. What kind of a life is that?"
He kisses me. It's not the rushed and sloppy kiss we had in the privacy of Odin's living room. It's the kind of kiss that takes its time. The kind of kiss that allows us to love one another, despite the risks of what we can't know and solve.
That's when it really hits me. I'm in love with someone. For the first time in my life, I have found the man I've been waiting for.
It's terrifying. It's like standing on the edge of a cliff.
It's real, and I just have to trust him. If he says he doesn't know Lucifer, I have to accept that.
Slowly, I press my mouth around his. A huge smile distracts the end of our kiss. "Ash Crowley, you know exactly what a girl wants to hear."
He grins and glances at the key-reader on the door to my room. "I have a fun idea," he says.
I arch my tongue against my teeth. "Yeah?"
"Apparently, there's a mini bar in every room," he says.
"How luxurious."
Smugly, he nods. "It's been days since we've been able to feel like humans again. I say we raid it. We get mad drunk. And we have the wildest sex known to mankind. What do you say?"
"I'd say you just read my mind," I whisper.
One more kiss before I'm hurriedly sliding that key inside its slot.
Tomorrow is another day wrought with strife. We've got Lucifer, the undead, and the devil himself searching every corner of the entire state for us. And somehow, I'm not even worried.
The angels are out there. We just have to find them. When we do, we'll win this war.
For now, I have one chance to follow my heart. One night with the man I love.
One night with the only person I trust.
Another bottle of cheap wine. Another beer. Another travel-sized shot. Down the hatch.
I'm feeling warm and fuzzy. He's laughing and touching me every chance he gets. I'm seeing flashbacks of a better world, and I just wish we could be back at my condo.
In a way, this is more exciting. So I soak it up and enjoy it. I tune all of the darkness out.
We deserve this. We deserve each other. We deserve every ounce of happiness that comes our way.
Tonight is our night.
"You know, I never thought I'd have so much fun with an investment banker," he says.
