Peridot and Amethyst enjoyed this kiss immensely.
For the first time, neither of them had any worry, any obligation.
Peridot is kissing her old friend from her orphanage, a friend she thought she had lost forever. When she found that friend, she was ecstatic, only to realize that her friend didn't remember her at all. But now that friend was her girlfriend, her memories returned to her, her love unbound.
Amethyst is kissing someone who was a complete stranger to her less than twenty four hours ago. This rich girl came into her life and hired her as a prostitute, wanting to lose her virginity. Amethyst thought nothing of it, as it was her job, but when she realized that she actually knew the rich girl who stooped so low as to hire a whore, she felt absolutely terrible. She wanted to do everything to remember this girl, to remember what they shared together in the orphanage. Then she remembered, reminiscing about their old antics as they sat in her cell.
These two girls allowed themselves to get lost in passion. Lord knows they deserve it.
Peridot pulled away from Amethyst, her breath heavy even though the couple really hasn't done anything yet. She was still new to this 'sex' thing, if that is what's happening. She stared down at Amethyst, who's eyes were full of love and patience. The ex-prostitute cupped Peridot's cheek in her hand.
"You alright?" Amethyst asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Peridot nodded. In reality, she's been more alright than she's ever been, at least since leaving the orphanage. "Never better.. Just hard to breathe when we do that."
"You're breathing through your nose, right?" Amethyst asked, her lips curled up into a smirk.
"You can do that while kissing?" The laugh that followed Peridot's question caused the blonde's face to heat up in a blush. She sat up, straddling Amethyst as she yelled, hands on her hips. "Don't laugh at me, you're my first kiss!"
Amethyst struggled to get her laughter under control, but when she finally did, she apologized, wiping a tear from her eyes. "S-sorry, babe." She said through light chuckles. "You're just so cute!"
"I am so not cute." Peridot denied, crossing her arms in a huff. This only furthered Amethyst's point. Giggling, the ex-prostitute began to rub her hands up and down Peridot's sides, slipping her thumbs under the hem of the sweater she wore.
"You know.." Amethyst started, her voice lower, sultry. She pulled up the purple sweater just enough for Peridot to realize what she was doing."..I think I want my sweater back."
Peridot couldn't help but smirk down at her girlfriend. She uncrossed her arms and removed her glasses, first of all. Handing them to Amethyst, who reached to the side and set them on her nightstand, Peridot crossed her arms in front of her and removed Amethyst's sweater. Peridot tossed the fabric to the side of the bed, now just in a black tee shirt as a top.
Joking aside, the blonde girl leaned forward on her girlfriend once again to resume their make out session. Tongue quickly came into play, both the girls' moans drowning each other out. Amethyst's hands climbed up the back of Peridot's shirt to play with her bare back, sending shivers up the blonde's spine. Peridot returned the favor, going so far as to stimulate the silver haired girl's breasts through her bra.
This pleasure, however, was extremely short lived.
Amethyst pulled Peridot's face away from hers, letting out a groan of annoyance. "God fucking dammit.."
The blonde looked at Amethyst with a confused expression, worried even. Had she done something wrong? "..You okay?" She asked timidly.
"Yeah, I'm fine.." Amethyst sighed and gently pushed Peridot from on top of her. She stood from the bed, rubbing the back of her head, other hand at her hip. "I forgot I was on my fucking period."
"Oh.. Yeah, I heard that was a mood killer." Peridot almost laughed. She was worried because she thought she had done something to kill Amethyst's sex drive.
"Yeah, real tragic, right Peri?" Amethyst groaned again and made her way to the bathroom. Peridot watched her go, sorry that the only time Amethyst would be able to enjoy physical pleasure for almost two months was ruined by Mother Nature.
"Need me to grab you some underwear?" Peridot called from the room. Amethyst yelled back in reply.
"Nah, it ain't that bad. Thanks though!"
It was odd, Peridot thought. That things could change so.. Quickly. One second, the rich girl was on the phone with her maid and chauffeur, another second and she's making out with her girlfriend, and now that girlfriend of hers is looking for something to stop the blood from between her legs.
As Peridot pondered how quickly time could really pass by, her phone began to buzz yet again. She took the device from her pocket, and looking at the contact, answered the phone with a smile.
"Hello mother." She greeted with a cheery tone, her legs crossed under her on the bed.
"You sound happier than usual." Yellow Diamond commented, her own voice low, tired.
Peridot could barely contain her excitement. "I am. I took your advice, and.. Amethyst and I are together." Amethyst returned to the room, still looking pissed, but seeing Peridot on the phone with such a smile brought one to her own face. She sat beside her girlfriend, kissing her cheek as she wrapped and arm around her waist. Other than that, Amethyst didn't say a word.
"I told you everything would work out. I should hope she's not still putting herself out for strangers."
"No, she quit all of that." Peridot quickly brushed her mother's fears aside.
"So yours will be the only bed she occupies?"
Peridot could feel her face heating up at the question. It may just be her overactive imagination, but did her mother really ask if they were going to have sex? "Well if it comes to that.. Yes."
"Good. Is she there with you at the moment?"
"Well, yes, bu-"
"Let me speak with her." It wasn't a request.
With a sigh and slightly shaky hands, Peridot held the phone from her ear, for her girlfriend to take. "It's my mom.." She explained, holding her thumb over the receiver. "Please try to be professional."
"Of course." Amethyst agreed. Though, as she took the phone, she just couldn't possibly resist a certain temptation. She stood from the bed, standing more than arm's length away from Peridot so as she couldn't take the phone away, and spoke. "Yello?"
Peridot's world almost shattered. Staring up at Amethyst, who was grinning ear to ear, she couldn't believe that her girlfriend would make such a stupid joke after specifically being told not to do so. She hid her face in her hands, falling backwards on the bed. There was no way that her mother was going to approve of Amethyst now.
Amethyst ignored Peridot's despair and continued speaking into the phone after Yellow Diamond's reply. "Yeah, I thought that would be a good ice breaker."
Peridot groaned. Her mother must have asked if Amethyst's greeting was a quip to her name. And Amethyst confirmed it! She could already feel the rage that is Yellow Diamond.
Something loud did come from the phone, but it didn't sound like angry yelling. In fact, the sound was repetitive, and high pitched. Peridot dared to peek through her fingers, and was surprised to find Amethyst still smiling, giving her a thumbs up. It was impossible.. Did Amethyst's idiotic banter actually entertain the wealthy aristocrat? Was Yellow Diamond laughing?
"Sure, just a sec." Amethyst's attention was turned toward the phone again. She held the device away from her head, staring dumbly at the screen.
"What are you doing?" Peridot asked in a whisper.
"Trying to figure out how to turn the speaker on." Amethyst relied just as quietly, sticking out her tongue in concentration. Peridot sighed and stood from the bed. She came to stand beside her girlfriend and pressed the button on the screen in the shape of a microphone.
"You're on speaker, mom." She informed her mother, returning to her seat on the bed.
"Did your friend not know how?"
"A whore's salary really isn't the best, Ms. D." Amethyst commented, taking a seat beside her girlfriend, who feel into yet further despair at Amethyst's casual dialogue with her mother. The ex-prostitute held the phone in front of her so that both she and Peridot could talk into it without any trouble. "I don't own a phone. I'm gonna be getting an actual job, though, so I'll be able to afford one comfortably in the next couple of months."
"I wouldn't mind loaning you a few thousand, you know."
Peridot chuckled dryly. "You're wasting your breath. The only way Amethyst will ever take money that she didn't earn is if it's forced down her throat."
"Well that's certainly a good mindset." The woman on the phone commented. "It seems like my daughter's in good hands."
"What, that's it?" Peridot asked, surprised that her mother didn't press Amethyst any further for information.
"I don't think so." Amethyst answered for Yellow Diamond. Then she addressed a question to the woman herself. "Is it, Ms. D?"
"No." The woman confirmed. "I would like to ask you more questions about what you intend to do with my daughter, to make sure you're safe, but it's barely dawn here in Italy, and I must get ready for a meeting. For now, I'll trust you. When I return to New York, I'll want to talk to you face to face."
"Well I still have a couple of months of jail time. You'll find me in the police department on Plaza Path. Know where it is?"
"I'm sure my driver knows the area. And Peridot?"
"Yes?" The blonde was surprised that things were going this well so far. She almost pissed herself when directly addressed by her mother.
"I love you."
Peridot smiled. She could barely contain her relief, let alone her growing adoration for her foster mother. Yellow Diamond, ruthless business woman and cunning aristocrat, really came through when she needed to. "Love you too, mom." Then the line was cut, the dial tone sounding throughout Amethyst's bedroom.
"Well she's nice." Amethyst commented, handing Peridot's phone back to her. The blonde practically snatched the phone away from her girlfriend, yelling at her in pent up frustration while pushing her with her other hand.
"I told you to be professional! What the fuck did you think you were doing?!"
"I couldn't help myself, Peri!" Amethyst laughed in reply. She knew Peridot wasn't going to stay mad at her. "She seemed to like it."
"You got lucky!" Peridot was smiling now, unable to hide her amusement passed her anger. "My mom was just in a good mood. Any other time and she would've banned you from being within a hundred feet of me."
Amethyst's laughter died down as she lay back on her bed. She found it hard to believe that Peridot's mother could be as uptight as the blonde made her out to be. "Have you ever actually asked her for anything?"
"Yeah.." Peridot thought, putting a finger to her chin. "I asked her to keep the microwave, and to keep my room as simple as possible, and.." Her voice trailed off.
Peridot realized that she really never did ask for anything. When she was told to attempt to prove Fermat's Last Theorem, she got to work without a second thought, even after failing multiple times. When she was told to learn and play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata from memory, she did so within a week without rest, and without complaint. Everything Peridot has done was without question, without a hint of disobedience, as if she were a well oiled machine.
Why was this? Why did she allow herself to be put through so much stuff that she didn't want to do? Peridot lay beside Amethyst, staring at the ceiling. If she had once said 'No' to her mother during her education with her, would she have allowed Peridot her freedom? Was it Peridot's fault for not being able to live the life of a normal teenager?
"I don't blame you.." Amethyst whispered, as if she read her girlfriend's mind. Peridot turned her head to see Amethyst with her hands clasped together over her stomach, also staring at the ceiling. "I mean, if you were really as attached to me back then, when you left.. It would have crushed you as much as it crushed me when you left."
"It did hurt." Peridot confirmed. "I... I watched the orphanage through the window of the limo I was taken in. I tried to see you through the window, see if you were watching me leave, but you weren't there."
Amethyst chuckled, though she was obviously not in the mood to do so. It was dry, forced. "I'm sorry.."
"For what?" Peridot asked, turning her body so that she was laying on her side, using her arm as a makeshift pillow.
"I forgot about you as soon as you walked out the door." Amethyst admitted, stealing a glance at Peridot to find a reaction. There wasn't one. Amethyst continued, looking at the ceiling again. "When you hugged me, I couldn't breathe. I was just so.. broken. My best friend was leaving me, the only person I really got along with like a sister.. Like a crush."
This little bit of information did catch a reaction from the blonde.
"You had a crush on me back then?"
"You were either really dumb or I was really good at hiding it." Amethyst confirmed. She turned on her side as well, facing Peridot. Seeing her girlfriend listen to her with such interest and no scorn whatsoever felt good. "I think it started when you helped me study English when Alex couldn't get through to me."
"We just had to find the right system for you." Peridot commented. Amethyst grinned, mimicking Peridot and her arm pillow.
"Yeah, it was a pretty stupid reason to start liking you, now that I think about it.. Maybe if I didn't like you, if I didn't forget you, I'd be somewhere else in the world."
"Then I really would have never seen you again." Peridot inched closer to Amethyst, slowly closing the distance between them. As Peridot got closer, Amethyst put a hand on her girlfriend's waist. She nodded in agreement with Peridot's words.
"All thing's considering, we're in a pretty good spot."
"It'll be an even better spot when you get out of jail."
"You know I was gonna let you pop my cherry tonight. Damn Mother Nature got in the way, though."Amethyst commented.
Peridot got a little smirk on her face, cupping Amethyst's cheek in her hand. "Are you serious? With all you told me about being the Santa Clause of sex, it's kinda hard to believe you'd let me do that so easily."
"Peri, I lost the few greatest years of my life when I forgot you existed." Amethyst pulled Peridot closer to her, their bodies touching now. "Getting that back with all the stuff you've done for me this past week.. I'd let you do everything to me if you wanted to."
Peridot was the first to close the distance between their lips. Only small kisses, innocent. But it was good enough for the both of them. Staring in each other's eyes was just as good as any amount of making out.
"I love you.." Peridot whispered afterward, burying her face in the crook of Amethyst's neck.
"I love you too, Dottie." Amethyst replied, closing her eyes with Peridot in her arms.
No more words were said that night. Before Amethyst would go back to her cell the next morning, these girls want to enjoy the time they have left to just enjoy each others hold. The next month and a half was going to be torture for the couple.
Author's Note: If you follow my story "Love Is Weird", then you must think I'm a dirty dirty liar. I'm sorry for not getting this chapter out when I said I would. I've decided to not put time stamps to my stories, because I don't know when my plans are going to change.
Anyway, I liked writing this chapter. I hope you guys liked reading it. Be on the lookout for the next chapter of "When Love Has Come to Fruition", where Lapis is going to make her first appearance! There will be a time skip sort of thing, much like I did when I introduced Peridot to the story. I hope I leave you all in great anticipation. So long for now.
