Lapis' Pov
When Peri left, I decided to take a bath to take my mind off of things...
While bathing, I thought of the fact that I might be leaving this room. If my beloved was also attending the school.
I smiled at the thought of me not leaving yet, but I suddenly frowned.
What if Peridot's mate is in this academy too? All hope is almost lost.
I heard the door outside open, meaning that Peridot came back already or there's someone sneaking in.
I wrap my body in a towel and opened the door slowly, peeking out of the small opening.
I saw someone bending over to get something out of the cabinet, someone with blonde hair. Okay it confirmed that it is Peridot.
"Hey, what are you doing back there?" I said, closing the door behind me.
I heard her yelp and stumble.
She almost dropped something from her hands, but she quickly hid it in the drawer.
"Hey! Uh, I wasn't doing anything. Just looking for some things ehehehe umm." She said, sweat dropping. She was looking everywhere but me.
"Okay, but I would like you to turn around again please, I need to put on my clothes first." I said, smirking.
Her face became red and she turned around instantly, her hands fidgeting.
I bursted out laughing and tried to change my clothes.
I could hear her growl in annoyance as she taps her foot repeatedly at the floor.
"Okay okay, I'm almost finished, no need to get you panties in a twist." I tried to cover up my laughter.
She just yelped again and clenched her fists.
"I'm done, you can turn around now, tsk tsk. So impatient." I said, shaking my head.
She scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Aww, is wittle Pewi mad at me?" I cooed. Like a mother talking to her baby.
"Gyah! Stay away from me woman!" She said, climbing up her bed and pointing her pillow at me.
As if that'll do anything hahaha. I could easily tear it to pieces.
I laughed, snorting in the process. I covered half of my face, blushing of out of embaressment.
Peridot laughed at me and clutched her stomach.
I frowned, her laughing at me made me more embarassed.
She stopped laughing when she saw my face.
"Hey, don't be embarassed, I didn't mean to laugh that hard you know." She said, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"I can't help but feel embarassed though." I said, lowering my head.
Her hand cupped my cheek and that made me look at her.
"Well, if it makes you feel better... It was pretty darn cute." She looked at me in the eyes and smiled at me.
That same feeling of tingles in my heart, made it beat, very very slowly.
I was shocked to feel my heart beat, mostly because I believed that vampires don't have heartbeats.
But here it is, beating and pumping blood all around my body.
My cheeks flushed a bright red. Blushing, not from embarassment this time.
Glancing down, I looked at her smiling lips, feeling entranced by it.
I looked at her eyes, they were still staring at me.
Emerald green eyes, they seem to sparkle everytime I see them.
We were still sitting down on my bed. My hand gripping the sheets. My other free hand went to touch her hand that was cupping my cheek, pressing it towards my face in a caressing way.
I leaned on the touch, closing my eyes and feeling the comfort that made my body sway just a little bit.
The electricity coursing through our touching skin, making me feel alive.
A satisfied sigh escaped my mouth, feeling Peridot's warm breath in front of me.
"You know, I wish we could spend our time like this the rest of the night... That way, I'll be ready when you meet your beloved tomorrow..." She whispered, eyes drooping as they stared me down.
I sighed, my eyes dropping back to her lips, feeling her warm breath made my cheeks warm up again.
My other hand gripped the sheets tighter until my knuckles were white.
I can't help but feel happy at this moment..
I was inching closer to her face as my hand gripped hers. She was leaning in too...
Our breaths were mixing as we were only centimeters apart... My breath hitched.
This was it, our first and final intimate moment together...
When our lips brushed, she stopped. She pulled back slowly...
"I-I can't..." She whispered, dropping her hand.. I sucked in a large amount of air and turned away from her...
I chuckled darkly, "Heh, I knew you wouldn't. I just hoped you did. You're to loyal..." I whispered the last part.
"Listen Lapis, don't think of it as a bad thing okay? I like you and all... But if it weren't for me having a mate... I'd be with you... But I can't have the thought of being with my mate, yet here I am kissing you..." She said, her face turning into a frown.
I just nodded and went to laid down my bed...
The back of my eyes stinging, but I won't let the tears fall.
I'm not that weak.
I just hope that she still likes me after I meet my beloved tomorrow. And the next day she'll meet her mate, how convinient.
Is it a coincidence that our birthdays were next to each other? I hope not.
I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Please, don't hate me for being loyal to my mate, I like you, I really do... And even if I meet my mate I would still like you." She said, touching my knee.
I just held her hand, even though it hurts me. I could still feel the tingles. I just have to rest so that I could face whatever's gonna happen tomorrow...
She sighed and went to the door.
"Look, I have some thing to get, so, if you feel sleepy... Don't wait for me okay? See ya." She said, closing the door behind her. I stared at the place she was standing on a few seconds ago.
I wish she was just my beloved instead..
It might be weird, having two women become beloveds or mates...
How would the other get pregnant with their child? Maybe the werewolves have answers for these kinds of questions...
Whoever my beloved was, I have to accept them, even if it hurts to leave my friend behind.
I turned to face the wall, closing my eyes again to prepare myself to sleep.
It had been almost 20 minutes or so since Peridot left. I wonder what she was doing outside at this time.
She might get hurt.
A sigh escaped my lips as I fell slowly into sleep, hearing the opening and closing of our door and then it was black.
