Chp 15 (apology accepted?)

   "Hey Steven, are you alright man? You've barely touched your fries...." A voice spoke from Stevens left. Steven looked to his left to meet the face of one of his closest friends, the blonde colored dreadlocks could only belong to Peedee. "Sorry Peedee, I know you invited me to this bar to hang out but I haven't been in the best mood lately...." Steven mumbled gently, stirring his fry in ketchup as he confessed. Peedee frowned a little, "do you want to talk about it?" He asked gently before sipping a bit from his beer bottle. "It's just..... This girl that's been kinda stalking me, which I know I've told you before, had crossed the line for the last time...." He began to explain, his gaze glanced at the half empty beer bottle that Peedee was holding. Peedee hadn't noticed it at first as he gave Steven a nudge with his elbow, "go on, what'd she do this time?" He asked gently. "She forged a note that I thought was from Connie, lured me to the lighthouse in which I had to look for a key since she purposely locked us both inside, and the key was in her very short skirt pocket in which I had to grab myself. Then I told her that I was done with the game, her game in which she wanted me to submit to her, and that lead to a fistfight between us. Then the next thing I know, her lips connected with mine when she slipped into me, and I swear to the stars I saw hearts in those crazy pink eyes of her as she continued to kiss me....." Steven rested his head in his arms on the bar counter as he continued his explanation. Peedee listened intently, his eyes wide from shock as Steven explained his story, "it seems like something else happened besides that...." He stated while clutching his beer bottle. "Um, well after a little bit, I get a call about my friends being in the hospital, which you already know about. But a question continued to cycle through my head, why did she lure me out to the lighthouse? Was she bored? Or was it something else? I couldn't make the connection until I arrived at the hospital, and it was then that I realized that the reason she lured me out to the lighthouse was so I couldn't help my friends, I couldn't be there to help them fight or protect them because of her!" Steven shouted that last part, slamming his fists onto the bar counter out of frustration. Peedee was taken aback from his sudden outburst, he had never seen his friend so worked up before, he looked at his beer bottle before slowly scooting it closer to the angered male. Steven sighed softly before looking at the bottle, "Peedee you know I don't drink..." He spoke softly while glancing at his friend. Peedee gave a shrug, "it's not a solution but it might help you feel a little better about talking about your problems...." He explained softly, "one sip wouldn't hurt would it?" He suggested. Steven frowned a little before eyeing the bottle, and then he decided to give a try. As the alcoholic liquid touched his taste buds, he immediately grimaced out of disgust and spit the drink back into its bottle, "ugh, oh stars....how can you drink this stuff???" Steven asked while coughing. Peedee have another shrug, "it's not the best,

   

    "The Diamonds aren't happy you know? You messed with the plans and are on thin ice" Aquamarine spoke, eyeing the fuchsia colored haired female that we as sitting across from her, "and all because you couldn't keep yourself from wanting to lift your skirt up for that guy" she chuckled. Spinel only grumbled in response, her arm was still hurting from being punished by the Diamonds, her trio of bosses had punished her harshly. "I still can't believe you compromised the plan. Anyone that was supposed to be in that club was supposed to die, and by your hand, and what's worse is that it was you that changed the structure of the attack on purpose just so you could have fun with him. You're just lucky that the bosses didn't serve your head on a platter." Aquamarine stated, "why did you do it anyways?" She asked, her British accent clear as ever. Spinel stayed quiet for about a minute, not even looking at the blue haired female that sat across from her, "I don't know, for some reason just the thought of killing him made me sick to my stomach, and I couldn't stand the thought of having him watch as I kill his friends.....I think I'm going soft....." Spinel admitted, looking at her shot glass that she had barely touched. "That seems about right, another act out like that and it won't end well for you, and you know this. Either you fix this little problem of yours, or the Diamonds will deal with the situation for you" Aquamarine explained, taking a shot of her jack Daniels, "what is it with you and that Steven guy, I don't get what is making you crazy over him anyways" she shrugged. Spinel sighed in response, "I don't even know, there's something about him that's driving me wild, he's definitely nothing like all of the other guys I've had to intimidate....." She explained softly, "I just can't put my finger on it...." She finished before downing her shot of vodka. "Hmph, well whatever it is, figure it out. I know he's upset because of what you did, I know you keep glancing at him since he's right there with his friend, and it seems like he hasn't noticed you at all. Whatever it is, go talk to him, but don't let it affect your duties next time." Aquamarine commanded, leisurely pointing to the two males that were sitting at the bar counter, she then gave a chuckle as she saw Steven trying a taste of his friends beer.

    "I have to use the restroom, I'll be back" Peedee explained while he stood up from his bar stool, he then made his way to the bathroom. Steven sighed, he stared at his food for a bit before he noticed that someone had slinked onto the same barstool that his friend was sitting at, "hey that seats taken" he simply stated while he played with his food a bit. "I think what I have to say is a bit more important than a mere seat" a familiar voice spoke, which made Steven look up quickly. Spinel wore a small frown on her face as she stared at the exhausted male, her pink hair still hanging down past her shoulders, "will you hear me out?" She asked softly. Steven sighed softly, he wasn't in the mood for another one of her tricks, but he always have everyone a second chance, "ok, what is it?" He asked gently, looking back at his fries. "I-I wanted....to say....that I'm... Fuck. I wanted to apologize to you" Spinel admitted, which made the brown eyes male look up at her with shock. She's.... apologizing? To me? Steven asked himself, still in shock from Spinels words. Spinel noticed his reaction and gave a sigh, "I'm sorry about the game, I'm sorry about using you as a plaything, and I have a motion that you feel used and betrayed....." She began to apologize, "and to be honest, luring you out to the lighthouse wasn't the original idea, but I'm not going to tell you what the original idea was..." She finished. Steven had no words, this crazy, psychotic, mafia woman, was apologizing to him, he knew he wasn't ready to forgive her for what she did, but like always, he was ready to give anyone a second chance. Steven gave a small sigh, "listen, I don't know why you wanted to play around with me like that, and I'm not ready to forgive you for luring away from my friends that were in danger. But....." He paused, which made Spinel raise her eyebrow, "I know there's good in you, I've seen it on rare occasions, so.....I'm willing to give you one last chance. But on certain conditions" he stated. Spinel clicked her tongue a bit before responding, "alright, what are your demands?~" she joked. "No more of this stalking, if you want to talk or anything, give me a heads-up please! Second, don't involve me with your work, because I'm definitely not ready to lose my life because I was "in the way" so to speak. Third, stop teasing me the way you do, I don't know how much more my brain can handle it, and I certainly don't want to lose control like I did. If you can agree to what I said, me and you can start over again as friends, and not just a cat chasing a mouse" he finished. Spinel only had an issue with that last condition, however she smirked before giving the male a reply, "I won't tease you as much, and when I do, it won't be as intense unless you want it, other than that I agree with your terms~" she replied. Steven stayed quiet, listening to the background noises that were happening all around him, "very well, but no one can know about this. Because deep down, I know it won't end well for me, or for you...." He admitted before holding out his hand to her. Spinel looked at his hand before grinning, her hand that was wearing her fingerless gloves grabbed his hand, in which she pulled him closer to her while smirking. "I accept,  however, this means I get to visit you more at home~" she purred, her face a couple inches from hers before she let go of his hand, stood up from the barstool, and left the bar with Aquamarine following after her.
