Rose's room...

Pearl POV...

It was an open mouth kiss and it was magical! What was only 15 seconds felt like hours, & I wanted it to last forever.

But Steven had to breath. So I broke the kiss. We stared at each other, blushing.

I began to stammer

"Steven...I-I..." I began the cry, struggling for the words.

"It's okay. Stop crying Pearl."

"I'm sorry." She sniffled before continuing her sentence. "It's just that, I was afraid that you were going to hate for do that."

"Pearl." Steven stood up, grabbed my hands, & pulled me up. Then he Hugged me tightly. "I could never hate you."

I began to cry in his embrace. Steven was right. Nothing I could would make him hate me. He always knows what to say to cheer me up.

"Thank you."

2 days later...

I was drinking wine while reading a romantic novel called Last Dance. I was middle of a love scene when I started to hear arguing from outside. I went to check it out. It was Steven and Connie.

"You didn't have to beat the guy up!"

"Well he shouldn't started hitting on you!"

" I don't care! We were in a fancy restaurant."

"So I'm suppose to letting this guy make goo goo eyes at you?! The guy was on a date himself!"

"No! That's not what I'm saying. Know what, talk to me when you learn to control your temper!"

She walked off. I see Steven punching the wall then walking in. I rush back to the couch.

Steven talked to me in a sort of monotone voice

"Oh, yeah Pearl."

I act has if I didn't know. "What's wrong?"

"Connie & I broke up." He flops on the couch. I scoot closer to him.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I really wasn't. I was kind of happy of that. "Tell what happened."

"First." He grabbed the bottle of wine & poured into one of the cup on the table.

"Cheers to Friday."he said in a sarcastic voice

"You know Garnet kill you if she found out."

"Oh stop 'wine'-ing. Because she ain't going to find out. Right?"

He was right. He knew I wouldn't tell. "Right." I said as i sighed deeply while we clinked out glasses
