Title is a song by Coheed and Cambria. Another short chapter sorry, next one or two should be longer if not better.
Jasper had finished getting ready for the day, putting away her dumbbells and mats for exercise to return the rugs to the floor. Stretching a little more with a faint yawn she sat on her bed waiting for the store down the road to open so she could feed her cat Beta. He had been a good boy for the last few days so she decided to spoil him with some cat nip, while she waited she smirked at her phone which contained all of her flirtatious messages between her and Garnet. She really liked Garnet and she would even sneak her out of her house to go for late night dates as to not disturb her room mates, pancakes and make out sessions made the hickey's they gave each other worth it. Thankfully no one noticed them in the slightest due to they're respected heights. Just as Jasper put on her running shoes her phone had begun to go off, why was Pearl calling her? Did something happen? Did Garnet need something?
"Hello?" she answered calmly yet full of curiosity.
"Hello and good morning Jasper! Sorry for the call at this hour but it would seem that one of my other clients would like a request and well, I will let HIM ask you himself!" a soft nervous laugh was heard and the other voice on the line coughed to clear themselves:
"Heya Jasper it's Ed!... Uhh... I was wondering if your free tonight would you mind helping me with a gig?"
"What gig and you gotta pay me as well."
"That won't be a problem, just a quick 3 or 4 set show. My Drummer E-Man busted his ankle and can't make it tonight so could you fill in on drums for him?" Jasper rolled her eyes and sighed quiet loudly making Ed gulp and let out a small breath of his own.
"I'm down. Send me your address and we can practice, now if you'll excuse me I've got a cat to spoil." before hanging up she heard Ed cheer and Pearl tell him to go away before he woke up the entire town. 'Let's see what this kid's got.' she thought to herself as she neared the empty store.
Lapis slowly opened her eyes and pulled the warm body in her arms closer, while simultaneously fondling the breasts of said person and squeezing their parts. Leaving soft kisses along her bed mate's neck she giggled and mumbled out: "Hey beautiful, sleep well?" she thought she heard Peridot moan causing her to laugh but upon further inspection her smile fell as she watched her lover whimper and shed a few tears in whatever nightmare she was currently having. Worried she softly tried to stir the blonde awake by gently pushing against her back. "Peri... Peri.. Baby what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry... I'll do better." the blonde spoke softly still terrified of the force in her dream. Lapis pulled her closer and hummed to her trying to rock the girl awake, after what felt like minutes the blonde began to wake and wiped her eyes clean. "Lapis?..."
"This stays between us boss, can't have them know I've slept with management." she joked making the blonde laugh softly before kissing the taller woman's chest. Lapis lifted Peridot's head and stroked her cheek: "Care to tell me about your dream?..." Peridot looked away quickly and shut her eyes.
"I uh... I have sort of..." Lapis kissed her forehead and pulled her face to her chest.
"You can tell me... I love you..." Peridot huffed and steadied herself before looking up with a hurt expression.
"I have an inferiority complex... I was never able to keep anyone happy... Not my parents, supposed friends, or even old bosses... So it kinda scares me to be with you at times cause-" her breath hitches and some tears spill but Lapis quickly brushes them away and gives her a reassuring smile. "...what if I fuck this up too?..."
"You won't babe, there's no way you could." Lapis reassured her kissing her over and over again. "I will go down as your lover, your friend. Give me your lips and with one kiss we begin. Are you afraid of being alone, Cause I am, I'm lost without you."(1) Peridot giggled and kissed the bluenette back with a happy sigh before being rolled onto her back. "Besides, you like it when I do this..." Lapis went quickly under the blanket.
"Like wha- OOOOOH..."
Jasper finished the run down of the song list with Ed's band, it wasn't soft yet it was just a bit of a heavier sound then her own band's. Ed cheered and put down his bass rubbing his shoulder and stretching.
"Thank you so much for this Jasper, you have no idea how much this means to us!" he exclaimed thanking her once more. The woman rolled her eyes but chuckled none the less.
"I'm digging your sound Ed, it feels good for my feet and kit. Maybe we can do a collab someday soon?" Ed's eyes lit up and he went on a triad about the different ideas he had just got out of nowhere. Jasper felt good making the guy happy and felt welcomed by his group of nerdy metal heads. She sent Garnet the location she was going to be playing at and she got a message back saying to keep an eye out for her.
Steven slept in a little more often as waiting for his call back made him a lot more anxious then usual. He cleaned up around the house and even ran errands if ever needed be but all in all he was basically the girl's personal chef all to which the complimented him every time for his marvelous meals, he enjoyed it but still didn't feel as if it were enough. Pearl noticed him looking a little sad and thought of asking him to help her tonight at Jasper's sudden gig, the boy agreed with a bright smile and started to prep for tonight's task making the woman sigh happily and hugging him tightly.
"So your parents split when you were young and your mother was very commanding?" Lapis asked softly stroking her girlfriend's cheek and straightening out her sex hair at the same time. Peridot nodded slowly and laced their fingers together. "That's tough hun... but." the bluenette pulled the blonde into one more kiss. "You've got the best girlfriend in the world and when we get married they aren't invited to the wedding ok?" Peridot couldn't contain her laugh this time and held Lapis close as the laughed together and rolled off the bed. They were happy, they were happy together and there was nothing that could pull them apart... Right?
