Demon Chemistry | Baxter x Niffty

Chapter 21: Alone at the Basement Pool

Artwork above by Neon Rxses on Instagram/Wattpad. Even tho I hate her communist ways, I always give credit. Her stupid commie mindset was why she ended up deleting all her stuff. But I got receipts. Because I focus on the artworks and not the artist.

The hallways of the hotel were quiet. Nothing out of the ordinary and nothing threatening.
"So where do I clean?" Niffty asked to break the silence.
"It's right here. Looks like someone left this window open." Vaggie pointed to the floor. Niffty took a close look at the footprints to figure out what substance was on the carpet so she could accurately clean it.
"Huh, there's tiny rocks and ash in these footprints. I can still smell some fire i think!" Niffty curiously said.
"These footprints are high heels, why would good shoes get caught up in..." Vaggie trailed off and stopped talking.
"In what? Vaggie what's wrong?" Niffty asked.
"Oh no...she's heree...she's HERRREE...!"
Vaggie whispered and gulped in anxiety. Staying stiff and looking around the corners of the room without turning her body or head. Her body tensed up and her hands wanted to cover her chest.
"Who's here? Ohh..." Niffty turned around. She then saw who she was talking about. Cherri stood behind her with a smug grin and her hands on her hips.
"She's behind me, isn't she?" Vaggie asked with her left thumb pointing towards the woman she is so worried to see. Niffty nods and Cherri responds, "Yeah, babygirl. We're gonna go out and have some fun." Cherri quickly picked her up bridal style and ran towards the closest window. "Wait! You weren't supposed to meet me like this! This is too sudden- AAAAAAAHHH-HMMMMFFF!!!" And a sound of high heels clanging the concrete stopped everything. "How do you do that with your high heels!?" Vaggie asked in the distance. Niffty quickly followed and hopped up to the window to see Cherri Bomb still carrying Vaggie and taking her down the block until she turned a corner. No longer seen.
"Did I just see a lesbian elopement? Huh, I was always trying to ship Vaggie and Angel, or that snake guy with that tall one-eyed girl. I wonder if she's my long lost sister...oh well, time to get to work!"

The footprints of Cherri were easy to sweep up, this wasn't something that she was expecting today. All Niffty wanted to do was write her friendfiction, Baxter being this kindhearted sea demon who had this amazing alpha male body that wasn't too buff to the point where he was ridiculous, but strong enough to lift her off her feet. But since she had already started cleaning, she still felt like getting back into the cleaning mood.
"Welp, my head can't always be in the gutters! Gotta clean it out! The hotel needs me." And down she worked. All the way down to the lobby. She was surprised about how much more trash was found, possible that more patrons are here to stay at the hotel.
"Wow, I guess Miss Charlie's Hotel is working! Or there's some girls trying to steal Baxter from me..." Niffty looked left and right to see if she was being followed. Not much know that the underground pool was functional, it was just Niffty and Baxter's secret.

She walked down the steps and heard something she never thought she would ever hear.
"Is Baxter swimming?!" Niffty whispered to herself. Niffty snuck around and peeked her head around the doorway of the entrance to the pool room. She didn't see him, he was probably underwater.
"Must be something interesting." She looked on eagerly while shifting her head in different angles of the pool to see if he submerges.
And he jumped out! Throwing his head back gracefully in the presence of Niffty!
