The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 55

•As Erza Was Passing Out Room Keys; Levy's POV•

Erza handed Gajeel and I our room key as I watched Lu-chan and Natsu walk up the set of stairs to the second floor.

"Have a good night." Erza smiled at us as she went over to Wendy, Romeo, Happy, Carla, and Lily, who had told us he was going with them.

I glanced down at the metal key in my hand. There were little swirl designs at the top of it, surrounding the number 162.

   "Shrimp, we on the first floor?" Gajeel asked, looking down at me.

   "Yeah, I guess. We're in room 162." I replied, returning his glance as I readjusted my backpack.

   "Let's go this way then." Gajeel pointed to his right, at a little sign on the wall. In gold, fine print, it had an arrow with something that read: Rooms 100-185. I smiled and began walking down the finely lit hallway with Gajeel next to me.

As we made our way further down the long hall, I began to look at the room numbers as we passed by them, looking closely for 162.

158, 160... 162!

I stopped my commute, fiddling with the key in my hand until I pushed it in the lock, twisting and opening the white door. I took the key out of the lock, throwing it on the dark brown, leather love seat along with my black bag. I heard Gajeel shut the white wooden door, and he then threw his bag on the couch where mine was.

"What should we do now? It's only around six.." Gajeel suddenly cupped my face in his hands, stopping my sentence. The next thing I know, he pulls me in for a kiss. Gajeel's lips meet mine and his hands slide down to my mid-back, whilst I stand on my tippy toes.

The kiss began to grow more passionate as I felt his tongue trace my bottom lip, almost as if he was asking for an entrance. I obliged and opened my mouth slightly, feeling his tongue slide into my mouth. Our tongues danced, both of us fighting for dominance until Gajeel pulled back, ending the kiss.

In all of this, his hands ended up on my butt, and mine were tangled in his soft black locks.

"N-Not to complain... But what was that for?" I panted, moving my hands from his hair to then rest them on his shoulders.

"Just.. Meet me at the back of the hotel in ten minutes." Gajeel answered quickly, removing his hands from my butt. I took my hands off of his shoulders and began to think. Why did he want to meet at the back of the hotel? Is something wrong? Suddenly, someone else's thoughts invaded mine.

No, nothing's wrong.. Just meet me there.

I nodded and smiled at him. He gave me one more quick kiss on the lips and then he walked towards the door, opening it slowly. Gajeel gave me one last look before he left and shut the door behind him.

I sighed. What's this all about? Is it good? Bad? Hm, well, maybe I'll go fix up my outfit a little and do my make up. He made it sound like it's important.

•Gajeel's POV•

Good. The shrimp doesn't know what's going on. I ran down the hall, to room 137. Once I was there, I hurriedly knocked on the door, only to come face to face with Rain Woman. You see, I asked Ice Pop to give me his room number so we can do 'The Plan.'

"Gajeel-kun! What are you doing here?" Juvia exclaimed with a smile. Ice Princess then appeared behind her with a large bag in his arms.

"You ready to head to the back? I've got everything right here. The hotel had stuff from their last party, so they leant everything to me." Gray replied. I nodded and stepped to the side, allowing Ice Queen to pass. Juvia looked confused.
