The ringing of the doorbell interrupts them.
"Shit," Garnet curses as she abruptly pulls away from Jasper.
"Who's that?" Jasper questions as she watches Garnet throw on her robe.
"Pearl and Bismuth. We're supposed to be going out. I completely forgot," Garnet says as she tightens the strings around her waist and quickly heads out the room.
Jasper can hear Garnet's footsteps as they rush down the steps and the sound of the door opening.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot," Garnet apologizes.
"It's fine. I just hope you don't mind that I invited Amethyst," Pearl's voice can be heard.
"That's fine. Jasper's here, so they'll have each other. Just give me a moment to get ready."
Jasper hears the door shut and lock and then Garnet's feet coming back up the steps.
"You gone stay there or you gone get ready?" Garnet questions as she makes her way to the bathroom, dropping her robe along the way.
Jasper takes a moment before she quickly gets out the bed and follows Garnet inti the bathroom.
..
"Again, I am so sorry," Garnet apologizes as she and Jasper appear in the doorway of her living room, dressed and ready to go.
"I bet you are," Amethyst murmers and winks at Jasper and Garnet both.
"Get your head out the gutters Ame," Jasper retorts back with a scowl on her face.
"Are we ready?" Bismuth interrupts.
"Yeah, let's go before I change my mind," Amethyst says.
"Amethyst," Pearl berrates.
Amethyst rolls her eyes. "I'm just saying."
Garnet smiles and opens the door for everyone to leave before closing and locking it behind her.
..
"So you still gone tell me nothing happened between y'all?" Amethyst questions Jasper as they trail behind Pearl, Garnet and Bismuth.
"It ain't gone change a thing. She still won't date me," Jasper says as she watches the distance between Garnet and Bismuth shorten. Jasper grimaces.
"She bothers you," Amethyst states more than asks, referring to Bismuth.
"Garnet says they never did anything and she knows about her feelings for her. But yes, she bothers me."
They're quiet for a moment as Jasper hears Garnet laugh and Bismuth whispering something to Garnet and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"I used to feel the same way at first. When I came around Pearl was always with Bismuth. But then I told her how I felt and she stopped." Jasper raises a brow at Amethyst. "Okay, well she didn't stop but she cut down on her time with her. Did you tell Garnet how you felt?"
Jasper lets out a huff. "Garnet knows. But we are not together, so she feels she doesn't have too. Plus, I don't want to go back to that. That's one of the reasons we broke up in the first place. I tried to control her."
"Damn. That's deep."
Jasper just nods her head and watches as Garnet whispers something to Bismuth and the latter removes her arm from around Garnet's waist.
"But y'all love each other, right?" Amethyst questions after a while.
"Yeah. I mean, I told her that I am in love with her. She says she still loves me but I can't understand why she refuses to date me again," Jasper responds.
"Did you ask?"
"I've been asking sonce we broke up 5 years ago. It's either no answer or the same answer."
The group stops in front of a restaurant and Bismuth opens the door for them all to enter.
