Lapis Love

Chapter two: The Girl

Hey, thanks to everyone that reviewed and please keep reviewing!

Please!

After a brief stroll, Pearl had reached her destination. Walking into the little, busy pizza shop, Pearl looked around, trying to spot Lapis. She quickly spotted her at a small round table in the back. Seconds later, Pearl was pulling up a seat next to the blue gem.

"Glad to see you didn't bail on little ol' me." Lapis told her date. "You look pretty. You didn't have to get all fancy for this."

"Well, one does try their best. And I didn't want to disappoint." Pearl replied. The pale gem had phased on a white dress, not super fancy, but definitely more dressed up than her blue gem companion, who was just wearing a blue t-shirt and khakis.

"Oh trust me, you didn't disappoint." Lapis purred. "Now, what do you want to get?"

"Hmmmm, how about a medium meat lovers?" Pearl questioned

"Sounds delightful. I'll go order. By the way, it's good to know to know you like lots of meat." Lapis said to her date as she got up and left to go order, leaving Pear blushing like crazy.

"Hey, who do think you are?" a new voice called over to Pearl.

"Excuse me?" asked a very confused Pearl. Soon a very beautiful, green and very imitating gem was walking over to Pearl. She had long, curly green hair, a big chest, and a dark green shirt and jeans on. A green, faceted gem was on her left shoulder.

"I said, 'Who do you think you are'?" the scary gem repeated

"I'm Pearl." the nervous gem answered. "And you are?"

"Emerald. Lapis's ex. And I don't appreciate a little bitch like your self thinking that you're a 'thing'." Emerald told Pearl.

"Oh, this is just a misunderstanding. This is just a date. Harmless." Pearl said, sweating a little.

"If you think that's going to work you must be-"

"Emerald!" someone shouted. Emerald turned around and suddenly paled. Pearl looked past her, and saw Lapis standing there, holding their food.

"Hey now Lapis. No need to get angry." Emerald quickly said, holding up her hands defensively.

"Cut the shit, you green cunt." Lapis replied while walking over to the table. "You better leave before I make you leave."

"But-"

"No, no buts. You had your chance and you blew it. Now leave."

"Fine. But this isn't over." Emerald hissed, glaring at Pearl, before quickly leaving the little store.

"Are you OK?" Lapis asked, concerned that maybe Emerald had done something to her friend.

"I'm fine. Just a little shaken." Pearl said, still disbelieving what had just happened. "What was that all about?"

"Emerald and I used to date back in high school. Actually, for most of high school really. But near the end of our senior year, I caught Emerald cheating. I was hurt, but forgave her." the blue gem told Pearl, while digging into some delicious pizza. "But nearly two weeks later, I caught her cheating again. By that point, I said forget it. So I broke up with her sorry green ass. And ever since then, she has been trying to get me back."

"Obsessive much? And should I be worried about her? Like, she won't come after me will she?"

Pearl asked, a little concerned.

"No, you should be fine. But if she does do any thing to you, come find me and I'll take care of it." Lapis answered the concerned gem, reaching over and grabbing her hand.

"Thanks. I really feel better." Pearl sincerely said, blushing, thinking about how this gem was willing to defend her. Even if they had just met.

'No probs. Now eat some pizza. I really want to see how you handle that meat."

In front of Pearl's apartment.

"You didn't need to walk me home." Pearl told Lapis, still a little shaken from Emerald.

"It's the least I could do. See you tomorrow, gorgeous." Lapis said, kissing Pearl on the cheek, then walking off.

"Good bye!" Pearl shouted back, face red from the kiss. "Ooo, someone has a crush."

"Ah! Amethyst, don't startle me like that." Pearl said angrily.

"Ha! You're not denying it, so it must be true!" Amethyst told the pale gem, whose face was on fire.

"Leave Pearl alone, Amethyst." Garnet said, coming up from behind the purple gem.

"Yeah, leave poor little me alone." Pearl replied, agreeing with Garnet.

"Man, you guys aren't any fun. Well, you sure missed a party, P'. We had clouds for dinner, then played a hardcore game of zombies." the party gem said excitingly.

"That sure sounded fun. Well, I'm off to bed. Night!" Pearl told her room mates.

"Night!" they both responded, not know that Pearl was going to be up for another hour, playing with her favorite vibrator.
