Conflicts Occur (Human Steven x Human Spinel Gang AU)

Chp 18 (and it continues...)

   Spinel didn't know how to react, after all, she's never been on the receiving end before, especially from someone kissing her. Her mouth was opened partially, and remained still from shock as Steven moved his lips against hers. The words "oh god" replayed in her mind, soon the shock wore off and Spinel could feel her heart basically leaping out of her chest as Steven stepped closer to the female. His hands finding themselves becoming intertwined with Spinels hands, which made Spinel feel like she was about to melt at any time. She couldn't understand why she was feeling this way, and she couldn't understand why she felt disappointed when Steven pulled away. The semi-drunken male giggled a bit, "that was nice~" he chuckled before slumping forward a bit and resting his head against her shoulder. Spinel was at a loss for words, she tried to think about something else but that was hard to do since Stevens face was near her neck, and his hot breath tickled her sensitive skin. "S-Steven, are you ok?" Spinel asked gently, gripping his shoulders slightly and pushing him up a bit so she could look at his flushed face. "I wanna dance~" Steven giggled a little before he attempted to twirl Spinel in the parking lot, in which she wasn't prepared for at all. She accidentally stumbled a bit while being spun in place, but almost fell if Steven hadn't grabbed her hand while smiling. "Let's dance~" Steven smiled before pulling Spinel closer again, which made the female blush heavily. "St-Steven hold on a second you're drunk" Spinel began to state, honestly she's never seen him this playful before, or this giddy. "So? I am still light on my feet~" the males smile widened as he did a tipsy type of dance, in which Spinel couldn't help but chuckle a little at his attempted dance move. "I need to drive you home you goof~" Spinel chuckled before reaching for the male. "Nah I don't wanna go home" Steven whined as he tried to step away from Spinels reach. "C'mon your friends are probably going to worry about you if you're not home later~" The fuchsia hair colored female joked lightly, although her smile disappeared when she saw the male frown. "I just......want a break from everything. I want a break from anything gang related, I want a break from all of the confusion of my life.....just for one night...." He spoke softly, his sad brown eyes meeting the pink colored eyes of his friend. Spinel studied his eyes, and then she closed hers before sighing quietly, "ok Universe, I'll play along, and we can get a room for tonight so you could have that break you deserve" she stated. This made the drunken Steven smile brightly, "really?!?!" He asked excitedly, slurring his words a bit. "Yes really, but give me your keys and wallet ok? I don't want you losing them" Spinel stated as she held out her hand to the drunken male. "Aw yis good idea~" Steven giggled before fumbling around with his keys, he then dropped them before handing it to her, however he was able to hand his wallet to Spinel easily. The female grabbed Stevens wallet before bending down and grabbing the fallen keys, "ok, do you need help with walking? I saw an inn that's close by" She explained. Steven nodded in response, "yea, just hold my arm and walk me~" Steven giggled, he then grabbed Spinels hand while swaying in place a little on the pavement.

   
  After about a half hour, which really only should have taken about five minutes, the pair finally arrived at the inn that Spinel mentioned earlier. Honestly, the female figured it was probably faster if she carried Steven since he kept stopping to look at every little thing, but was ultimately relieved when they entered the lobby. The receptionist lady looked dead tired and a bit irritable, in which Spinel took notice. "A room for two for the night, do ya have a room available?" Spinel asked gently, still holding Stevens hand. "Cash or card?" The receptionist sighed, in which Spinel found a bit rude. "Cash...." Spinel replied, annoyance was hinted at in her voice as she spoke, "how much?" She asked, desperately wanting this conversation to end. "Eighty two dollars for a one night stay for you and your.....guy here" the receptionist answered, eyeing the drunken male that was leaning against the counter. Spinel glared a little, "what do you mean? He's my friend..." Spinel asked, slowly getting more pissed off as she pulled out some cash to pay for the room. "If....that's what you want to call it..." the receptionist shrugged before she yawned, waiting for Spinel to finish counting out the money. That comment, that one fatal comment, made Spinel snap as she lunged at the receptionist and grab her by her shirt collar. "Listen here ya arrogant bitch, I don't care if your tired because I'm to tired to deal with your bullshit. Now listen up, the first thing I do when I enter a room, I check to see if there's cameras. Unfortunately for you I don't see no cameras, so here is what's gonna happen so listen up, eyes looking right at me and nowhere else now! I don't appreciate you assuming what type of woman I am, nor do I appreciate the fucking fact that you assumed my friend here is into that type of shit. However I'm in a generous mood, so I will let this incident slide.....however if you tell your manager exactly what I'm doing to you right now, or even be rude to another patron like you were to me...." Spinel paused a little bit, her sneer turning into a maddening smile, "I won't hesitate to smash your skull against this counter until it's fully caved in~" she finished before letting go of the trembling receptionist's collar. The receptionist gulped before handing the key to Spinel, her hand trembled as she dropped the key into the maniacal female's hand. Spinel smirked as she gripped the key in her hand, her attention then turned back to the drunken Steven, "c'mon, let's go rest now~" she stated. "Ah ok~" Steven smiled, unaware of what had just transpired between Spinel and the terrified receptionist as he leaned against the side of his crazed female. Spinel chuckled a bit before wrapped her arms around Stevens left arm, she then helped him stumble along to the elevator. Steven chuckled a little as he and Spinel waited for the elevator, then a ding was audible when it arrived, in which Spinel helped the drunken male onto. "Heyyyyyyy, heyyyyy, hey Spinel?" Steven chimed while looking up Spinel, the elevator was a bit slow moving but it would soon reach the third floor. "yes Steven, What is it?" She asked before sighing softly, hoping that they'd reach their floor, and then their room. "Will you tell me a story before bedtime?" The brown eyed male looked up innocently at the pink colored orbs of the female. "Yea sure" Spinel replied, honestly it was just to humor him, she'd probably tell him a fairytale later. The elevator then arrived at their floor, and Spinel helped the tipsy Steven to their room, which was a couple doors on the left. As soon as Spinel was standing in front of the door, she used the key to unlock the door and helped Steven inside, then towards the bed. Steven then plopped onto the bed and snuggled under the covers after kicking off his flip flops, in which Spinel watched in amusement before sitting on the edge of the bed and removed her combat boots. "Will you tell me a story now? But not a fairytale, I've already heard and watched those movies a miiiiiiillion times already~" Steven whined playfully, which made the female look back at him. "A story?....." She bit the inside of her cheek, and ultimately decided that if she told him the story, he'd more in likely not remember it. Spinel sighed in defeat before turning to face Steven, "alright, let me tell you a story...." She answered while Steven looked up at her excitedly.
