Behind The Scenes Chapter 15: Date Night
Rose and Greg were getting ready for a night out, they hadn't had one in almost a month. Garnet was going to watch their son while they went out in LA.
Garnet wanted to get Steven out of the house so they could do something. And that was what they were doing.
"Are you ready, Steven?"
Steven nods, grabs his jacket, and walks out the door with her. Steven went into her car. Garnet saw him struggling. "Do you need help?" she asked.
"No," he said, gripping the seat and getting into the back seat. Steven buckled himself in, Garnet pushed the door closed and got into the driver's seat.
"Thanks, Garnet!" he said, she smiled and started up her car, She and Steven were going to a restaurant together, and then they were going bowling in LA so, they wouldn't be cooped up in the house.
Garnet starts up her car and they drive out of Calabasas.
"This is nice. Greg." Rose said, looking into his blue eyes. Greg smiles and wraps his arms around his wife, they are sitting on the grass, overlooking Los Angeles, the city is beautiful as seen from afar. They both loved it here.
Greg felt someone lay on his lap. Rose had her head on him, he smiled as they enjoyed each other's company. "Hey, Greg…" Rose said, Greg looks at her.
"Yeah, Rose. Something on your mind?"
"No… Well, I don't know," she said, Greg was confused by this.
"Um, do you want to talk about it?"
"I… I feel bad still." Rose said Greg knew what she was talking about. He gave his wife a tight embrace.
"It's okay to feel bad, Rose. I'm here if you need support…" Greg put an arm around her and moved his hand up and down, rubbing her arm to make her feel better about the situation.
"I hope that's not going to happen again… That scared me, Rose." Rose nods and hugs her husband.
"I love you, you know that?" Greg said. Rose just nods. He kisses her on the lips, Rose smiles and hugs him.
"I love you too, Greg." he smiled as they went down to go back to Garnet's house.
They were in the back of the house, Garnet had a jacuzzi in the back, Both of them stepped inside.
"This is nice," Greg said. Rose leaned on his chest, and Greg perked up. Rose looked up at him. He stood up.
"I'll be right back," he said, plugging his phone into the audio jack connected to the speaker and turning it on, Greg picked out a song.
From the first chords of the acoustic guitar, she knew exactly what this song was. Greg went back in, Rose laid her head back on his chest, They listened to the song. But, Greg began to sing.
"What day is it
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up, and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you."
Greg looked into his wife's eyes as he sang, Rose had stars in her big black eyes and he smiled as he continued, not thinking of anything else at that moment. She was lost in his voice.
"What are the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right?
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
That I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive"
Rose and Greg both kissed passionately. Greg smiled as he put a hand in Rose's hand and they continued.
Rose broke it and smiled. "I love you…" Rose smiled. Greg smiled back and looked into her eyes again lovingly, He took his hand and combed his fingers through her already soaking wet hair. Greg kissed her cheek.
Rose smiled and brought her hand to his cheek "You're so pretty, Mrs Quartz Universe…"
"And you're handsome, Mr. Universe." she giggled then, Greg laid his head on her chest. Rose giggles and smiles, looking at the darkness currently surrounding the house
"It looks prettier during the day," Greg said, Rose nodded in agreement.
"Yeah…" she said, kissing her husband again. Greg put his hands softly on her shoulders. Rose put her hands on his sides, the man smiled and put his fingers in her hair again.
Rose puts some of his hair behind his ears, seeing his placings. "You look so handsome with your piercings, Greg."
He chuckled. "And you're so so pretty. I love everything about you. And we have an amazing son."
"We do…" Rose said, kissing him again.
They were in the living room, watching a movie. They were watching The Lion King on a Disney DVD.
Rose watched the part where Muffassa fell off the cliff and Simba was screaming for his dad to get up. Greg noticed and he saw her crying, he paused the movie. No words were exchanged, he hugged her and rubbed her back, he knew that that certain scene always made her and Steven cry.
a long silence was in the air. Greg pulled away and gave her a nod, signifying that she was okay. Rose nodded back. He unpaused the movie, Rose leaned on her husband as they both watched the movie.
Garnet and Steven arrive home a few minutes later. Garnet was carrying Steven in her arms, the seven-year-old was out like a light.
Rose was asleep on Greg's lap, He was watching Nickelodeon. The male human gave a note to Garnet, Garnet nodded back and went upstairs to put the half-boy to bed.
Greg turned to his wife and shook her awake. "Rose," he whispered. She groans and opened her eyes.
"Yeah?" she yawned.
"Let's go up," he said. Rose sat up and stretched out, She got up and they both walked upstairs and got ready for bed.
