I get Jealous too

Summary: My sequel to "Of course I get Jealous". One month after they got together and things are going great between the two! Well they were until Steven starts avoiding Connie.

Chapter nine: The way you look tonight (it's a song! Go check it out)

(Connie's pov)

I woke up the next morning and I remembered about my date with Steven. I could feel the excitement and nervousness starting to set in.

I got out of bed and went through my closet to find a pair of jeans and a shirt to wear to school. I glance through to see if I could find something to wear for my date.

Not really seeing anything at first I went ahead and showered. After I decided to blow dry my hair instead of air drying it. Hoping that it would help it be easier to control when, I do something with it tonight.

I dress and went down stairs for breakfast. My mom was already in the kitchen cleaning out her medical bag. "Hey mom?" I started as I grabbed a box of pop tarts down.

"Yes Connie?" She glanced up at me to let me know she was listening.

"Can I go out with Steven tonight? He's taking me out on a date."

She smiled. "Do you know where?" I push the pop tarts in the toaster. She didn't sound suspicious like I thought she would. She sounded happy, maybe?

"No he said he wanted to surprise me." I acted aloof to see how she would respond.

"Oh that's sweet of him." I about drop the plate I was holding. Since when did my mom let me go anywhere without her knowing where I would be exactly?

"Mom are you feeling okay?" I asked. She smiled at me and nodded.

"Of course Connie. You and Steven have fun tonight. Me and your father are going out so we won't be here when you get back." She pick up her bag and purse and walk over to me a kiss my cheek then made her way to the door. "Oh and you should wear the red dress we got for your violin recital a few months ago." She called back.

I heard the door close. That was weird.

(At lunch)

I finish telling Peedee about the date. "So why are you nervous? You and Steven hang out all the time."

"We're not just hanging out. It's a date! Like its going to be romantic and sweet and I don't know what to do!" The closer it seem to get the more anxious I seem to get.

"Wow okay, calm down first. Look you don't know maybe this could be a simple date like, star gazing." Peedee reasoned.

I shook my head. "Peedee this is Steven he loves, love. He's going to try and do some grand amazing date and I have know idea how to even dress."

Peedee took in a deep breath. "Okay, okay. Here's what your going to do. Your going to go home, eat whatever the heck you want to and drink some hot tea to calm down. Then your going to put on whatever you feel like wearing. Cause yes, it is Steven and he's going to be blow away by what ever you decide to wear. Your going to fix you hair however you like and do your make up if you want. You'll meet Steven at his house. Leave and go wherever he plans on taking you. Your going to swept away by how thoughtful and sweet it is. He'll keep complimenting you and telling you all kinds of mush, that will have you weak at the knees. You two will kiss and talk about how much you love each other cause you haven't seen each other in over a week. He'll walk you home and tell you goodnight and boom date over."

I smiled at Peedee's idea of our date. He was right in theory. Everything will be fine and thinking that help calm me down. "Thanks Peedee. That helped a lot."

He shrugged. "What are friends for, and if your really that worried about what to wear just dress nicer than you normally do." I nodded.

(After school)

I came home to an empty house. I quickly made myself a snack and some hot tea and ran up to my room and looked at myself in the full length mirror. I took my glasses off and put them on my night stand. I took a deep breath. Okay, I can do this. It was 3:30 and I didn't have to be at Steven's until after 7 so that's plenty of time.

I took another shower to wash off any sweat or gunk that may have gotten on me at school. I made sure to shave my legs. I turn the water off and wrapped a towel around me. I walked into my room and put on my undergarments and put on my strawberry scented lotion and bathrobe.

I dried the access water off with my towel and started blow drying my hair. I looked at my reflection in the mirror as I did so. I never really wore make up often and never around Steven maybe concealer a few times when I had stayed up to late but never actual full face make up. I knew how to apply it since I usually wore it when I played the violin at recitals or when we went to take family pictures.

I move the dryer to the other side of my head. Maybe I could do a little make up and it wouldn't be too much.

I turn off the dryer and sprayed my hair with heat protected and brushed it through. I really did want to "Wow" Steven. I turn on my straightener and waited for it to get hot.

My complexion was fine so no need for foundation. I applied a rosy blush to the apples of my cheeks. I picked up my black eye liner and applied it along with some bronze eye shadow until my eyes had a pretty smokey look, then applied mascara. I was actually pretty proud of myself since I only used four Q-tips of eye make up remover. I finally put on a coral pink lipstick. That was a pick/tan shade with shimmer.

I glanced at the time to see it was only five o' clock. I felt my hair and notice that it was fully dry and I began straightening it until my normal curly and wavy locks fell straight and looked shiny and glossy.

I stood up and stretched my legs to get rid of any stiffness. I moved over to my closest and push outfit after outfit until I found the dress my mother suggest I wear.

It was gorgeous. The top was a sweetheart neckline that was trimmed with black silk ribbon along the top and bottom hems. It started out as a dark red at the top and darken into a deep maroon at the bottom until it met the black hem which hit perfectly at the knees. It was form fitting until my hips then the it flows off my hips me giving my legs room to walk with out having to touch. Which it nice since there was glitter on the dress to catch the light.

I had only wore it once to a violin recital so Steven never saw it. Since I wear blue or green dress because there my favorite color. I took my robe off and slipped my dress on.

I picked up a pair of black kitten heels and put them on. I pulled my straight hair out from underneath my dress and looked in the mirror. Holy smokes! I looked amazing! I smiled at myself. I pick up my small black purse and put my phone, glasses, and lip stick in it. I walked down stairs and check the time. Well it's now or never, I walked out the door and to Steven's house.

(Steven's pov)

It's times like this I really wish I had more options with my hair. It was its normal curliness which I liked but I would still like the option to change it.

I fixed the collar of my deep red button down dress shirt. Even though Connie has already seen me in it, I decide to take Garnet's advice and wear it anyways. I also took her advice and wore my black pants and jacket. I check to make sure my teeth were still clean. I left my bathroom and went down stairs with the gems.

Pearl walk over and began messing with my collar. "You made sure everything is ready, right?" I smiled at her. "Yup. Glow sticks, food, music the whole thing is ready."

Pearl moved and grabbed a camera and snapped a picture. "Peaaarrl." I groan as I rubbed my eyes. "Please don't make a big deal out of this." Amethyst laughed. "Ah dude your one to talk." She gesture to me and I felt my cheeks heat up.

"This is different it's our first date." I picked up the red tulips. Which were Connie's favorite. "Whatever man. We're not leaving."

Pearl snapped another picture. "Garnet please make them stop."

She was sitting on the couch smiling. "Sorry Steven it's either let them have their fun now or let them ask you all about it when you get home you choice." I groaned as I my cheeks heated up. "Besides your dad is going to want pictures." I knew she was right so I decide to give in to the pictures and the embarrassment.

I heard a knock on the door but before I could even turn to get to it Amethyst beat me to it. "Amethyst!"

She laughed a open the door. "Hey Con...nie?" She drift off and I heard Connie's voice through the door.

"Hello Amethyst. Is Steven ready?"

I looked at Pearl who had the camera ready and was shooing me to the door and Garnet's grin seem to get even bigger as she nodded her head. I tighten the grip I had on her flowers and walked over to the door where Amethyst was.

I nudge Amethyst out if the way trying to figure out why she was standing so still and not embarrassing us. "Yeah, sorry about the wait, Con..." I glance down at her and froze. My eyes widen and they move to look at her from head to toe.

"Steeeevvven, are you going to let me inside?" She asked smiling. I move my arm up for her to duck under, which she did. She push the door close in front of me then stood in front of me.

She looked sooo, beautiful. So gorgeous. I didn't feel like I was worth touching her, heck even looking at her.

"Wow Steven! You look amazing." She said sweetly. I heard giggling. "Connie I think you broke him." That was Amethyst. Wait have I really been standing here the whole time starring at Connie and not complimenting her.

I blinked hard and cough in my arm to cover my blush. "Thank you Connie."

I cleared my throat. "You look..." I drifted off before picking back up. "Your the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in this world or any other."

Her cheeks darken and I could feel a since of normal coming back. "These are for you by the way." I hand her the flowers. "Oh Steven their beautiful."

"They have nothing on your loveliness." I smiled softly at her and lean in closer to her.

"Aww Steven that's so thoughtful of you." Pearl said. I jump back. I forgot the gems were still here. Pearl began snapping pictures of us left and right.

After about a dozen photos later I spoke up. "Pearl we need to go. Before its too late. Bye."

"Okay you two have fun. Be safe." Pearl said to us as she put down the camera.

"Yeah Steven. What Pearl said." Amethyst said with a wink and I blushed. "Okay enough embarrassment for one night. I'll see you when I get home."

Connie looked up at me and her brown eyes were really intense looking tonight. I found myself capitative. "Can I leave my flowers and purse here?"

"Of course!" I rubbed the back of my neck. "Here I'll put them by the door." I sat them down and placed my arm around the small of Connie's back. "Bye guys don't wait up for me!" I lead Connie out the front door and to our date.
