Spinel the Great Umbrella Thief

Chapter 15

Spinel and Pink Pearl lived happily together as girlfriends in their tiny one-bedroom apartment. Some days were rougher than others but it was okay because they were both there for each other.

One day when Spinel got home from work, Pink Pearl pulled her aside for a second.

"Honey I have something to tell you."

Spinel couldn't read her expression and she got worried for a second.

"Did something happen?"

"Yes...but please promise you won't freak out."

"Pinky...should I be nervous?"

"I got a job interview."

"OH MY GOSH...wait a minute are you pulling my leg?"

"Nooope."

"When did you...how did you...WOW. THAT'S GREAT!"

"I have my secrets," Pink Pearl chimed in mischievously.

It had taken Pink Pearl several months but she had finally started going outside on her own. She would sneak away while Spinel was gone and she had been keeping it a secret for a little while. She wanted to surprise her girlfriend when the news came.

When Spinel heard the news she grinned from ear to ear.

"I'm so proud of you!" Spinel threw her arms around her girlfriend and squeezed her tightly.

Pink Pearl had come so far. They were baby steps but she was healing and nothing made Spinel happier than seeing her girlfriend make progress.She loved her so much and she only wanted for her to be healthy and happy. Spinel cried tears of joy and twirled Pink Pearl around.

"I'm going to start paying for my own things now," Pink Pearl started.

"Aw you don't have to do that."

"No. You don't make a lot of money as it is. I don't want to drain your bank account forever. Also I'm taking you on a date this time. And we're going to go someplace special."

"I love you so much," Spinel nuzzled Pink Pearl's nose.

"I love you more," Pink Pearl retorted.

"Oh shut up. You don't even know how much I love you. And you never will!Hahahahaha!"

"Just kiss me, you goof."

"Don't mind if I do," Spinel made a playful smirk and stretched her limbs until she was standing at her girlfriend's level. Then she kissed her gently.

"I'm so glad I met you..." Pink Pearl stared into Spinel's eyes in adoration. "You've done so much for me. I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you. For everything."

"No, thank you...You make me so incredibly happy. And that's not honestly an easy thing to do so..." Spinel looked down shyly.

"Thank you for taking a chance on someone like me. I love you, babydoll."

Pink Pearl felt herself go weak and all she could do was stare at Spinel with a dishonest glare on her face.

"Haha who's blushing now?

"You are" Pink Pearl pouted and proceeded to squish Spinel's cheeks. This caused Spinel to produce a loud uncontrollable squeak and her whole face turned a deep shade of red.

"H-hey...no fair! That's cheating!" Spinel stuttered in a fluster.

"You're so cute," Pink Pearl kissed Spinel's face.

"Hahahaha..." Spinel blushed brightly.

The room was silent for a second and the two stared into each other's eyes lovingly.

They felt so comfortable in each other's embrace that they didn't even notice when they transformed into she.

Bixbite opened her eyes "Wha-?! Oh! Hehe how embarrassing," she muttered to herself bashfully.

She threw her arms around herself and smiled giddily. "I love you...I love me... I love us," she whispered as a single tear dripped down her cheek.
