Score: Biscuit 2 Berry 2
Steven couldn't think as Connie impishly closed the door to her room, telling him to wait for her downstairs. Steven nodded in dumbfounded agreement before turning towards the stairs, a simple thing.

The problem was he couldn't get a footing on the floor. He had to push wall to wall to move forward, and even then...He literally couldn't get downstairs...So he floated in contemplation at the fact that Connie Maheswaran....Made him float instinctively.

"That little minx...That was sooo."

Steven growled and quivered, a rose quartz blush on his face as he licked his lips as the memory of what just happened to pass through.

"Unfairly exciting."

*6 minutes ago.*

Steven had just pulled up in the Dondai into the Maheswarans driveway. Doug and Priyanka were gone for the month celebrating their wedding anniversary (’20 years strong’), so Connie had the place to herself...Meaning more time to hang out alone...Meaning more time to tease her...He must admit he was on a kick since the blackout,

Seeing the indomitable Connie Maheswaran squirm so. The look in her eyes...Those dazzling eyes...That bit lip...That seductive innocence. It was a rush for the usual nice guy to be dominant...Especially to her, his strong-willed and stubborn Berry. His impish tease of a best friend. His super bright and usually cool, Connie.

As he stood up, he heard music playing from her room on the top floor, Connie’s room, and recognized the song instantly as an English cover of ‘Love Dramatic.’ 

  Oh love me Mister, Oh Mister! 
  Let me hear how you feel, show that you're for real!

  Hey Mister, c'mon Mister !
  Stop the tease, make-believe; there's no need to be mean!

The second thing he noticed with a smile was Connie was singing along...

‘She’s such a weeb..a sweet one, though.’

He chuckled as a plan formed with the thought. This was a perfect opportunity to start the visit with a tease...It was only fitting.

So with a slightly sinister smile, The young man whipped out his smartphone and leaped to her window silently, ready to catch her...He set his phone to record. 

And his face reddened.

His mouth dried.
His jaw dropped.
His lip quivered.

  You won't know and won't tell how you drive me wild 
  (Your) Piercing gaze, charming smile is enough to tell 
  In this game played by two, I for sure will not lose 
  Love is war! Love is war! Love is war!  

Connie Maheswaren, dressed in a forest string tee with sea-foam frills across the chest that stopped just above her naval and baby blue mid-thigh overalls that fit her like a glove, wasn’t just singing...She was performing.

And what a performance it was. 

  Let's dance till dawn hits and 
  Feel the heat of love and ecstasy!

  This ain't just a "thing." 
Shivers go down your spine, imagining!

He watched as she twirled with her partner, a giant pink stuffed lion which she somehow got into one of his old red shirts. Her hair flowed with each spin, each step she took, her voice in perfect tune with the song. It shook him through his heart and gem.

  You'd be mine 
  Thinking ahead of time 
  That our future's looking bright, intertwined in mine

How she dipped and tossed the toy around as she serenaded it.

Each sway of her waist. Rhythmic.
Each twitch of her hips. Mesmerizing.
Her freed, wild passion mixed with her natural body control, art in motion.

  Eight whole words I want to hear from you!

  "I love you with all of my heart" ("I love you with all of my heart") 

  and I'll assure you that we won't fall apart! 

"You're unbelievable, Ni'."

His eyes widened as she looked straight at him and vice versa, the chorus playing in the background. His face grew even darker as he moved from his eyes from the phone.. and looked at the real thing.

He expected her to freeze, scream even.. or at least blush…

Once again, Connie proved to be more than expected. Her eyes..those dazzling, half-lidded, black eyes, were now burning not with anger but with another feeling. One that sent shockwaves of excitement throughout his body.

With a teasing lick of her lips and a dangerous smirk, she stepped slowly, one foot slightly crossing the other, accentuating her tone, strong curves with each step, like a lioness in her den. 

  Mislead by interest; your charming act won't be enough, pretend! 

(It's) Both players intend: Getting their way 'til one of them will break! 

All while singing along, never missing a beat.  
She got close enough to gently place the phone on her desk near her bed, pointing the camera towards the center of the room, catching the whole area. 

  There's no need, to write a "happy end." 

'Cus our love is so much more, and I wouldn't want it to end! 

She led him to the room center, her melodic voice and gentle movements putting him in a trance-like state. Stroking his temple and chin as she guided him to the center of the room, in the camera sight. 

  I'll take all - even your deepest lies..

  Embrace me and hold me tight! (Embrace me and hold me tight)

She hooked her left leg behind his thigh and his right hand at the curve of her back before leaning back, pulling him down with her, their faces only a centimeter apart. 

  While I make sure your facade's breaking tonight!

  Oh love me Mister, Oh Mister!

As the chorus began again, she moved closer to sing it straight in his ear. That, plus the smell of lily and chai...Her scent...made his knees buckle for a second.
"YYYesss"

  When I see you give in, I know that I could WIN!

Hey Mister, c'mon Mister!

There's much more 'hind this smile, yet I can't make out why! 

He didn't mean to say yes out loud, to answer the question so eagerly and readily, but he did. Luckily, it seemed that the music drowned out his submission.

  You won't know and won't tell that I know you too well!

  Handsome face, brown-ish eyes, is your bulletproof disguise!

She bit her lip, and he was second from tasting her as well before she released herself from his grasp and untangled him, showing how long and well built her legs were. He actually whimpered just a bit as she turned away from him though he gulped when he found himself being led to the wall.

Draw me in, bet away, let's see who's gonna win!

Love is war! Love is war! Love is war! 

"It's heartshaped."

He blushed red, realizing what he had just said and what he was referring to.  He looked upwards and saw her grinning mischievously before placing him between said wall and her back.

He trembled, trying to catch his breath and stop the heart attack he felt coming on as she placed his hands between her waist and upper thigh, making him tap to the song's beat. Her right foot on the wall kept Steven in place.

  When will you ever let me see,
  that you're feeling the same as me.

  Hear me out; I can't take it anymore!

  I'm begging you!

She, on the other hand, swayed her hips waved her body, slightly rubbing against him with her movements..but enough to realize she melted..and hardened him. As she sang the bridge with a breathy, almost purr-like tone in his ear, emitting a snarl from her beastly Biscuit. As she played with his locks a bit, she gave him a slight nerve-tingling blow upon his neck, making him growl and pressing her against himself.

"Woo.. can I just live here. You, me, and this wall behind us?"

His delirious request made her giggle heartedly, and it was the perfect signal to end the performance on. 

  Please, love me!~

  Oh love me Mister, Oh Mister!

  Let me hear how you feel, show that you're for real!

  Hey Mister, c'mon Mister!

  Tell me please, make-believe, show me we're meant to be! 

She turned towards him and started guiding him to the floor, sitting him down before straddling his lap—arms around shoulders, lips just an inch apart.

  I'll give in just for you - I won't hold back this time! 

  (Your) Gentle lips, teasing eyes, make me weak for a while! 

  In this game played by two, I doubt that you would lose! 

Love is war! Love is war! Love is war! 

As she sang the song seductively and adorably, Steven found his hands resting on her thighs and nothing else.  She entranced him to do nothing but follow her lead..

  Love is war! Love is war! Love is war!  

When she kissed his forehead, he smiled.

  Love is war! Love is war! Love is war!  

His nose...He smiled.

Oh Mister~ Oh Mister~

When Connie moved to his lips, giving him a hungry look, he parted them and closed his eyes in anticipation…Only to feel her fingertips.

"Songs over."

Steven's mind shut down as she removed her fingers from his lips..and kissed them. She slowly and teasingly stood up before helping her bae-friend to his feet and holding his hands down as she gave him his phone(after tinkering with a bit) and led him out of her room as gently as possible. Steven, finally getting his motor function back, turned around only to meet her fingertips.

"I'll be with you soon, try to handle that...You've been floating since verse two."

Steven looked down 4and realized that he indeed wasn't on solid ground. He was about to say something when she did something unexpected. She gave him a quick peck on his lips and a teasing lick, getting a reaction out of him..floating slightly higher. 

"We can discuss living arrangements some other time, 'Mister.' Now, wait downstairs. let me freshen up." 

With that, she closed the door on him."

*Present*

" Sheesh, She beat me; flawlessly. I couldn't even mount a defense. "

Steven floated as a smile cane his face. He lost, but damn, it felt good to lose. That was when he heard his phone vibrate. He opened his phone and almost hit the ceiling...literally.

Two photos:  One with her blowing on his neck..which looked more like she was necking with the tagline: love you too, Mister!😄

The second one was a picture she took of herself still in her outfit, her back to the mirror slightly bent overlooking over her shoulder with the tagline: Officially Heart Shaped(for your eyes only Biscuit)😉😘😎

Steven snarled as he saved the pictures before smirking. He floated in thought as he tried to think of a plan to get her back...but all he could think about was what happened..and if he was honest. He loved it.  Soon those thoughts went from making Connie melt and squirm to making Connie his, Indefinitely.

Score Biscuit: 2 Berry:3

Bonus:

As Connie closed the door on her Jam bud, she slowly slumped to the floor..a brilliant smile on her red face. She was in love, and she loved it.

She loved it. All of it.

She loved dancing with him, always did even when they were more innocent and he was less bold, and she loved her body less...but that..That.

Having him all to herself like that.
Having him touch her like that.
Look at her like that.

It was too much if he took control for a second...She would have slumped, given in entirely.  She will never forget this...

The mixture of wanting and loving in his eyes...The beach sand smell of his sweat...The feel of his hands, his body on hers…

“Oh my stars, I did THAT to him.”

She couldn’t help but feel proud..and a little worried that maybe she had taken it too far.
Until she heard him call her a minx...Which meant that despite everything. He was still all in. She stood up and  pulled down her overall straps when she saw herself in the mirror, her stance and the seats of the overalls.

“Heart-shaped.”

That's what Steven called it. Her butt. Her face flared at the thought but so did her mischievous side as she got her phone and took the picture.

“Extra points.”
