Don't Let Go | Sequel to "Been Here All Along"

Chapter 5

We pulled up to the hotel on the outskirt of town and Mabel was still passed out on my shoulder. I unbuckled myself and shook her a little bit. 

"Mabel...we're here," I whispered. She slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them. 

"Ugh, what time is it?"

"It's only 2:30, Mabel," I laughed, helping her sit up. "I figured we would go check in and go check out a few places today? We can check out the rest tomorrow...they usually do Open House on Sundays," she smiled tiredly and nodded, easing herself up and out of the car. We unloaded the car and hauled our bags into the hotel, dropping them as we approached the check-in counter. 

"Reservation for Dipper Falls?" I asked, catching myself at the last minute. It's going to be hard to remember the new change in name. We were given our key and we headed off to our room. Situated on the third floor was Room 308, our oasis for the evening. The room was decorated in a color palette of black and gold. Black bedding and a black bed frame, adorned with gold pillows and other gold accents place throughout the room. I took Mabel's bag and placed them on the entryway shelf as we wandered over to the bed, falling back gracefully.

"Dipper do we really have to go tonight?" Mabel whined. 

"Mabel, you've been laying around and sleeping all day!" 

"But it's nice when we get away. We get to be together in any way we want without risk. I like being close to you," she said, pouting, pushing herself up. I put the last of the bag on the shelf and walked over to the bed, crawling on top of her. Her eyes locked with mine and I fell into her deep, hypnotizing gaze. I kissed her sweetly on the lips and rested my hands sweetly on her hips. 

"How about I propose a little deal? We go to at least three viewings today, and after that, we come back here, and do whatever we want for the rest of the night?" I said, winking down at her. She blushed, still pouting. 

"Fine," she grunted, pushing me off of her as she headed towards the front door. I followed behind her, and slapped her butt. She turned around and gave me a dirty look, before she broke out into a fight of laughter. I pulled her close and kissed her deeply. She ran her hands through my hair and she walked me back towards the bed, her lips not leaving mine. 

"We're not going anywhere tonight, are we?" I asked, breaking our lips for one moment. She kissed me once more before replying. 

"No, we most definitely are not."
