Sinful As Hell (The Demon Academy #1) - G. Bailey Page 0,52
that I almost ignore the teasing.
“For a teacher and an angel, you are a flipping tease. You know that?”
“Who said I am teasing?” he asks, letting me go, and I nearly fall over as I straighten up. The lights blast on in the room, forcing me to close my eyes, and when I open them, I’m alone. What the hell did he mean by that?
Chapter 21
Angels, demons, and Love Island
"So do explain to me why he is leaving her?" Amethyst asks as we sit watching Love Island on the laptop in my room. I don't really like it, but Amethyst is addicted to it, and she won't watch it alone because she is a pain like that. Not that she can get the laptop open and use her paws to get the shows on for her.
I'm pretty sure if she could, she would. I pull the page over in the book I’m reading, my eyes drawn to the painting on the one side of an angel with white wings wrapped around a woman with long dark hair, though her face is hidden in his chest. I move my eyes to the writing, though there isn’t much of it on this page. It is meant to be the history of hell and heaven, but like every book I’ve got out so far, it is nothing but vague sayings and painting of angels and demons. It’s like someone doesn’t want anyone to know about the past.
Angels are forbidden to enter hell, let alone fall for the firstborn daughter of hell: Lilith. Lucifer, first of his name, did not heed the rules. Love is forbidden, but it did not stop a romance which would last many years. Thousands upon thousands died in the war their love created, and until the day their children were born, their love was perfect.
"I wasn't watching, who left who?" I ask, getting to the end of the small amount of writing. I flip through the rest of the book, finding one more passage right at the end.
Lucifer was cursed to never walk on Earth or heaven ever again.
The curse is limited to only one counter.
When Lucifer finds his mate, he may walk wherever she walks.
Be it heaven, hell, or Earth.
Many suspect Lilith was his mate, for his deep love for her lasted so long. Lilith was cursed to never enter heaven or hell again after—
I rub my finger over the smudge in the ink, but I can’t make out the final two sentences. Poor Claus and Nikoli, whose parents caused so much pain. If they were bought up in foster care like everyone says, then there is no way Lilith was bringing them up. I really want to ask them about their parents, but I don’t know how to bring it up. It feels more like a girlfriend question, which is difficult when I am trying to keep us as just friends. Something neither of them seems to understand.
"Oh, never mind. This show breaks my heart. They are fools," Amethyst protests.
"But you still watch it every week," I remind her.
"Doesn't mean I don't want to know what happens next, Lexi," she chastises me, and I roll my eyes at her.
"I’m going to get something to drink," I tell her.
"If you find the catnip Sera is hiding from me, I wish for you to bring it back," she tells me.
"She hid it because it's a treat and you are addicted," I remind her.
"Remind me why I like you again?" she asks overdramatically, and I don't bother answering that one as I leave my room and head to the kitchen where there are some dim lights on. I pull the fridge open and grab the orange juice carton before shutting it, and seeing Javier standing right next to me. I jump, the orange juice carton leaving my hand, and Javier leans down, catching it well before it hits the floor.
"Good reflex’s, Batman," I say.
"I always preferred Superman," he tells me, and I smile as I take the orange juice back.
"Sera is sleeping," I tell him.
"I know. It's you I wanted to see," he tells me, and I raise an eyebrow at him. I didn’t expect that.
"Why?" I ask as he steps closer, crowding me into the counter and forcing me to breathe in his forest scent, and I’m pretty sure it’s jasmine that I smelling on him as well.
"Did you get my gift I sent?" he asks.
"Yes, and thank you. Why did you send them?" I reply.
"They are a symbol
