Garnet ran a hand in her temples feeling a slight annoyance.
Who is it? ... By whom Pearl is in love?
She sat next to the gem that was lost in thought and writing quickly on a piece of paper.
She didn't notice my presence ... Just ...
What's going on with you, damn it!
She faintly inhaled the air and looked at her.
- Pearl...
She felt the woman get surprised and turned at her with open eyes.
Her hair precisely tidy was in disarray, some stuck strands of hair in her temples. The eyelids were reddened, the pale and wet lips.
She had never seen her friend like that
Pearl was lost. The time freeze inside the room, all she could see was Garnet in front of her so close that if extended her hand could touch her.
She panted in the sudden speeding up of the uncontrolled heart inside her chest, her entire body seemed to tingle.
The gem wasn't feeling her extremities, It was like her brain had suffered a shutdown.
She tried to swallow and realized that her mouth became dry, the throat stuck preventing her voice and the air to flow through her system.
What was she doing here? How she entered?
- G-g-g-g-Garnet!
She managed to expel the words quickly rising up and stumbling over her own feet.
The leader was fast enough to hold her in herarms.
When realize that she was wrapped in the arms of Garnet she experienced an emotion that she had never known before.
Some kind of shiver, but Pearl knew that wasn't it. Internally , her body was producing indescribable sensations. Like a cold impression that was expanding throughout her torso, humans described the sensation as "feeling butterflies."
At the moment she had not understood the expression and thought it must be some kind of misunderstanding, but now she understood. The feeling was so tenuous and light that looked like the sweet beating of wings of a butterfly.
She tried not to stick to the fact that she was with the face against the chest of her passion, the smell of the skin penetrating her nostrils and drugging as an addictive substance.
Oh my goodness ... She's so warm!
She thought at feel the cozy warmth emanating from the body before her.
The captain stepped back and looked at her friend.
-Are you okay ?
The voice was steady, gentle and worried. Pearl felt a seething anxiety inside.
- Y-Yes ... What are you doing here !?
The leader glanced around staring at the room again.
-'I've been here for a while, Pearl.
Her mouth opened in surprise and fear. How she didn't feel or see Garnet there?
- What were you so focused on?
Said the woman moving toward her again.
She felt her face flush with the proximity.
- Oh ... Just reading ... Y-you know how I'm curious about things.
She smiled turning her back and walked to the lowest floor of the room.
She looked at the door while the other walked silently toward her
The fragile gem felt the body close to her, just a few centimeters of pure nothing separating them.
Automatically her breathing became shallow, her heart fast and troubled at feel the sudden approach.
It was amazing how Garnet could make her pass through a roller coaster of feelings without even noticing.
Oh no ... No Garnet, do not come any closer ... Please ...
She was fighting with her own desires that were crazily screaming to throw herself into the arms of the other woman.
The closeness worried her, leaving her speechless. It made her thoughts scramble inside her head. But she knew that somehow her body desperately craved it every time they were alone.
- Pearl ... We need to talk.
She lowered her face closing her eyes. The husky and deep voice reverberating through the silent room, by her overheated form.
It was very difficult to control herself in the presence of her leader. She had been hiding, fled to the solitude of her room so wouldn't need face these strange situations.
And yet, here she was pleading with her senses, crying out for the reason not fade away face at to whirlwind of emotions.
She didn't respond, she couldn't answer. All of her attention should be directed to the struggle that was happing internally , she needed to keep the composure.
- Pearl, look at me.
The gem knew she couldn't no longer ignore the requests of her colleague, she sighed and turned away avoiding looking at her.
Garnet watched her, it was more complicated than she feared. Pearl was in love, deeply in love and avoided everyone for some reason.
But by whom?
The captain decided to be direct.
- I already know everything.
The eyes of the delicate woman widened in terror, the emotions confusing her even more.
She Wanted to cry and to rip of the chest such swirl of feelings.
She brought her right hand to the chest and tightened the clothes feeling affliction.
How? How she found out?
She cannot have discovered ... It's impossible! ...
I've been keeping distance, paying attention to the small movements that I do.
She cannot have found out!...Oh no…
She turned her back on the tall gem again and sighed. The tears coming up at the corner of the eyes.
Stay calm Pearl ...
She cannot know ... Right?
…She has not... She can not….
She sighed again shutting her eyes, trying to keep the posture.
And if she knows?
The thought came back to haunt her, she couldn't get rid of fear.
And if she see behind my mask?
She coughed low, feeling her throat close in despair.
Without looking at her friend replied.
- What do you know?... What you think you know?
The disturbance was evident in her voice that came out shaky.
Garnet sighed.
Why is she so afraid to let me know what's going on?
- I saw your texts on the floor ...
Pearl felt her body freeze, her existence waver as her face gained a strong blush .
She withdrew her hand from the chest and landed in left arm, squeezing it she realized it was cold.
- I know you're in love ...
Pearl didn't answer. The world spun before her eyes, the fear consuming her, devouring, while the silence cut her like a thin and serrated knife.
Oh my Goodness! I don't want to confess!
I don't want to betray your trust in me!
She knew that reveal her feelings would imply a complete change in their routines.
Even if her whole being screamed into revealing her passion, a weak certainty said Garnet was never going to love her, that she would hurt even more and would lose the only person she ever wanted so fervently.
-Who is,Pearl? ... Please ... Tell me.
Her voice was so kind and so gentle that broke all the resolution she had. Her heart gave in to want, to love.
She turned quickly, her body talking faster than the methodical brain. The face stained with deep blue, the red lips soaked in desire.
The leader was surprised, the image of women in front of her was that of a person who she had never known.
She contemplated her eyes, so blue that looked like small replicas of the sea, teary, glassy eyes. The stained face, painted in a deep blush.
She had never seen her colleague like that. In all her thousands of years together, in all her battles and moments shared, never saw her so awakened, raw and beautiful as right now.
The two were silent, her eyes venerating. The tallest gem decreased the space that separated them, her torso touching her.
Garnet felt her heart racing, her mind no longer managing to process the information.
She needed to know more, she wanted to know more.
Pearl realized the distance decrease, becoming zero, their bodies in a tenuous contact.
Her physical form radiated an inordinate heat.
She wanted to remove the sunglasses of Garnet and drown in her beautiful eyes, but dared not move.
Everything was new, in all these months never felt a desire so ferocious like that.
She felt her body in flames, the attraction slowly burning and the sweat running down by her face.
It was no longer scientifically logical those symptoms, that madness.
- Pearl...- Garnet spoke again still looking at the flushed gem - Who made you like this?
She moved feeling the cold wall against her back, she couldn't run away, she had nowhere to go. She dug her nails against the concrete, her legs were shaking.
The leader stood firm, walking closer from the other until their bodies were back in touch
- Pearl ... Tell me ...
The pale woman bit her lips and stared at the floor breaking the exchange of glances.
Maybe I should say now ...
If I say it may be that this hurricane inside my chest cease, lose its strength...
Who know I actually have a chance and she says she wants me too…
She could see their legs together, her torso touching her.
The heat in the room was becoming insupportable, she breathed softly and bit her lower lip.
She wanted to feel her, she wanted to feel Garnet now. The body alive, warm and pulsating against her. Their bodies fusing, the bare skins touching, the lips melting one inside the other.
I want you …Oh, how I desire for you!
Pearl was losing control. Her entire being screamed to embrace the gem.
The heat, ah, the heat was unreal as magma burning in the middle of her breasts, filling her body of uncontrollable chills.
She turned her head to the side trying to think, trying to be rational. Struggling to maintain control of her body that was exploding in lust.
How could she do this to me?
In one minute I feel paralyzed and now I'm...
I'm feeling crazy, desperate, built of voluptuousness.
The captain wanted to see her eyes again, wanted to look what those crystalline eyes could tell.
She put her left hand on the shoulder of the pale silhouette and with the right lifted her chin to look at pearl.
That was it, she could no longer control herself and surrendered to the passion.
With the parted lips, panting, she directed her eyes to Garnet and grabbed the wrist holding her chin.
The other gem glanced at the hand that was holding her strong, nails digging into the skin.
Pearl felt the heat sprouting through the pores, sliding through the skin, wetting the neck and the tips of her hair.
The shirt, which was always aligned with the body, now slipped loose by right shoulder.
The leader blinked behind her glasses feeling her heart beating fast again, shaking inside with heat.
What ... Damn ... This ...
Garnet couldn't think straight, her friend, her fellow gem was staring at her with eyes full of desire, red lips trembling slightly as if trying speak, explode.
Noticed the sweat on the temples of the other and frowned .
She removed her left hand of Pearl's shoulder touching her forehead.
She felt the soft skin, wet with sweat beneath her fingertips
She's so warm ...
Damn, what's going on here?
Pearl narrowed her eyes at the touch. Her body shuddering at the contact that was light, gentle and yet, felt hot, incredibly and unbearably hot.
She held in the mouth a little sigh pressing her lips against her teeth, nails pressing the wrist of the other.
The tall woman withdrew her hand and came across a gem that almost couldn't breathe.
Then she understood. Her understanding unexpected coming, waking her from the drunkenness.
A thought which passed quickly over her head like a breeze blowing and cease slight, leaving only the trail of freshness.
... It's like she's in love with me ...
The weight and shock of the resolution hit her hard. She stepped back and took some distance.
Pearl opened her eyes unsure of what was happening around her.
She saw Garnet in front of her, parted lips, the bewildered face , perhaps a little flushed.
- G-Garnet?
She was able to form the words, but before shecould continue the other walked to the door.
-W- What happened?
- I'm... I'm sorry, Pearl ...
Garnet left leaving her alone in the room unsure of what had happened.
... She ... She's in love with me ...
