Connie's POV

I giggled as Steven exclaimed about only having twenty minutes left of the drive. Then I remembered we were talking so much we didn't even eat the snacks I packed.

"We forgot the snacks!" I faked an exaggerated gasping noise.

"The horror, " Steven said In a monotone voice and smirked.

"You won't be laughing when I tell you It was cheddar popcorn, " I stuck my tongue out jokingly.

"That's a sin not to eat cheddar popcorn, Connie how could you, " he exclaimed.

"You were too cute, I got distracted!" I joked back, my attempt at flirting was awful. I pulled the bag of popcorn that was stuffed in my purse.

"Apology accepted I guess, " he snickered, causing me to laugh as well. I opened the bag and we both had some.

I could never stop smiling when I was around Steven, he always had such a positive energy that just made me feel happy. He made me feel listened to and appreciated, I just hope I make him feel the same. I'm the happiest I've been in a long time, my cheeks felt tired from smiling and laughing so much. I was so In love It was crazy, and by the way Steven acted, I know he felt the same way.

"Hey, " Steven turned onto a gravel road, still following the van. "I just wanted to thank you for that advice, It really helped, " he stated, a small smile of his lips.

"I'm glad, you seemed so suffocated, " I added, relieved to hear that my advice helped.

"It really helped, the gems knock before coming In my room now, " he laughed.

"Ugh, I know how that feels. I had to put a chair In front of my door every time I needed to get changed since my door doesn't have a lock, " I grumbled, recalling how frustrating It was.

"I'm sorry, " he apologized. I loved how empathetic he was but I hated to see how to take everything so seriously.

"Stop apologizing, you were not the idiot designer how made a door without a lock." I leaned over and kissed his cheek, blushing In the process.

"I missed your kisses so much, " Steven said In a husky voice.

I blushed harder, not expecting his reaction. The sound of his voice made me shudder, the way he looked at me caused my heart to race. The butterflies in my stomach were going wild.

"S-same, " I stuttered, immediately embarrassed at how flustered I was just from his voice.

He smirked at my reaction, causing my face to become more red then It already was. He stopped the car, parking in the gravel driveway of the cabin, behind the van. Steven took out the keys and leaned closer to me, our faces only inches apart. My lips curled into a small smile as he placed a hand on my cheek. His warm exhale brushing against my skin, my heart skipped a beat as his lips softly pressed against mine. I placed a hand on his shoulder as he tilted his head slowly.

I jumped when I heard a bang on the window behind me, practically scaring the life out of me. Our kiss sadly broke when we both jumped from the noise. I turned around quickly to see the cause, I blushed seeing It was Amethyst, who was laughing hysterically. I looked back at Steven, his face was painted with blush as well.

He smiled awkwardly, "I didn't know everybody would be watching, " he pointed at Lapis and Peridot whispering to each other, Pearl and Greg trying to call off Amethyst. Bismuth and Garnet were carrying bags, they just smirked. If my face wasn't red before, It defiantly was now.

"Sorry, " Steven said noticing my embarrassed state.

I smiled softly, "It's fine, I always feel like nobody's watching when I'm with you," I stated and inched forward, quickly giving him a peck on the lips. He smiled in response.

"I feel the same, " he beamed.

"Let's go before Amethyst breaks down the door, " I laughed softly, Amethyst was still knocking on the window trying to get our attention.

I slung my purse over my shoulder, opening the door and stepping out. Steven shut the driver's side door behind him and opened the trunk, grabbing our bags. I walked over and opened the backseat, hugging the mane of the large pink feline that was napping.

"I missed you, Lion!" I exclaimed while continuing to hug his fluffy light pink mane. He awoke and started licking my face, excited to see me. I giggled as Lion tickled my face with his affection.

"Lion, I already said I had dibs, " Steven joked, shutting the trunk and walking over to me. I snickered at his remark and wiped my face of the small wet patch on my cheek from lion.

I stepped back and Lion came out of the red vehicle, I shut both back and passenger side door and caught up with Steven who was carrying luggage to the cabin. Amethyst was already Inside the cabin, she obviously moved on from teasing us when she saw we didn't react. Lion sluggishly followed us and laid down the porch. Steven somehow managed to hold the door for me even with both his hands full. I thanked him and smiled, I offered to carry a bag but he insisted that he did. I blushed at how sweet he was being.

I walked inside the cabin looking around at how pretty It was. Dark green furniture and white curtains complemented the dark oak beams perfectly. The black granite countertops looked perfect with the dark cabinets that looked handcrafted. The shag carpet was faded to be a light cream colored brown, lamps hung from the walls that looked like old fashioned lanterns.

"I think over here Is where we are sleeping, " Steven said as he walked towards the hallway, turning the copper handle of the dark green door.

I quickly followed, wondering where we'd be sleeping. We walked into the room, two twin-sized beds side by side, separated by a wooden nightstand and a cute lamp in the shape of a lantern resting on top. A rug spread on the floor, with a dream catcher hung on the ceiling. The open window caused the door behind us to be blown shut, Steven and I both jumped a little, laughter shortly following.

I had a small smile that we'd be sleeping in the same room, then blushing trying to push other thoughts from my mind. Steven set down our bags next to the door. I walked over to one of the beds, plopping down on It. I was surprised at how comfortable It was.

"This bed is so soft, " I exclaimed, sinking into the mattress.

I looked down at Steven, confused to see him on the floor looking under the beds. I sat up quickly making sure my legs were closed since I was In somewhat of a short sundress.

"Alright, we're clear, " he said with a smile, standing up from the floor. "No snakes, " he added. My eyes widened at his last remark.

"Snakes?" I questioned, worried that I'd see one.

"Yeah, they like the warmth inside the cabin. They are just little gardener snakes though, nothing to worry about, " he assured. I felt more at ease knowing they weren't poisonous.

"That's a relief, " I laid back down on the bed, enjoying the softness. I giggled as Steven plopped down beside me.

"I missed your laugh too, " he stated, In that same voice that caused my heart to race.

I tried to control the blush rushing to my cheeks but It failed, "Steven, it's been a day since we last saw each other, " I explained, my lips curling into a small smile.

"That's too long, " he added, a small laugh shortly arose.

"Your gonna give me diabetes, Steven. " I giggled again at how silly he was being.

"I'll just have to heal you then, " Steven smirked and turned to face me from his seated position beside me. He leaned down and started attacking me with kisses.

I laughed at how he tickled me and tried to push his head away, but that only made things worse because his hands started to tickle my sides.

"S-stop!" I shrieked unable to stop laughing. He started kissing my neck again, his position changed to on top of me.

I was trying to stop his hands from tickling me so he had access to my neck. I giggled more as he started laughing as well. Our laughs shortly faded as Steven stopped moving his hands, I blushed profusely as he started lightly sucking at a spot on my neck. I tried to control my heavy breathing as his hands moved from my sides to my waist, pulling me closer to him. Steven continued to kiss and suck at my neck, I put my hands up, holding onto his shoulders as he was on top of me. The butterflies In my stomach started back up again, the way he kissed me made my heart race. His warm exhale on my skin made my eyes shut, all I could do was lay there and enjoy the way he touched me.

His grip on my waist tighten causing my breathing to hitch slightly, I felt his lips curl into a smirk mid-kiss. What he did next caused me to shudder, he left a trail of kisses down my neck, going lower. He kissed me along my collarbone and dipped lower to where my red dress started. He trailed along the fabric, the butterflies in my stomach were going insane, my heart going a mile a minute. He slowly kissed the small amount of cleavage that was showing revealed from his pulling on my dress. I shivered as he continued to do this, my eyelids felt heavy, my grip on his shoulders tightened up, my body tensed. The feeling was new to me, but I already loved It. It was surprising that I didn't feel nervous at the moment, I felt eager and happy at the presence of this new side to Steven. As he started pulling on my dress more, exposing my bra strap my breathing hitched.

"S-steven, " I hummed, feeling flustered at the way his touch affected me.

"I'm sorry, " he said softly, coming up from my chest to my eye level. "Am I moving too fast?" He questioned, looking concerned.

"No, that wasn't, " I laughed softly, he couldn't tell the difference between a moan and me just saying his name. "Nevermind, " I smiled and kissed him, he was too cute.

He kissed back, he tilted his head once more. I hummed into the kiss, enjoying the moment. We continued to kiss, Steven on top of me with his hands on my waist. I had a hand on his shoulder, another on the back of his neck, halfway In his hair. Steven's tongue traced my bottom lip, causing me to shiver to run up my spine. He moved a hand from my waist to my cheek, softly stroking my face, his touch was so gentle. He lightly grazed his teeth on my bottom lip, this was almost too much. I felt like I was In a haze I felt weirdly desperate for more.

Our bodies grew closer, Steven burying his face into my neck once more, attacking me with kisses. I tried to control my heavy breathing as he started moving lower once more. My fingers tangled in his hair and my toes curled as he softly kissed my upper chest.

We were both interrupted as the door swung open.
