She loves me, She loves me for sure

chapter 33: Don't care

after a lot of complaining and arguing with Maritza, Juliana had agreed to let Flaca do her massaging every 2 hours, Maritza left the bedroom door almost closed and headed downstairs to find a busy Flaca hovering all over the kitchen, cooking, cleaning and doing laundry all at once

"need some help?"

Maritza offers seeing the younger Latina, busy, but handling it well

"no, I'm ok"

Flaca responds quickly as she heads to the laundry room to take the load of clothes out 

"mkay, uhm- I talked to Juliana, she's fine with it. She says thank you"

Maritza follows cautiously behind her slipping her hands into her back pockets, feeling guilty and as if she was the one causing Flaca's sadness. She knew it was mainly because of how Juliana was treating her but she knew that she wasn't treating her with respect either, maybe it wasn't as bad but she was still letting her feelings regarding Juliana and Flaca's relationship get between her romantic relationship with her 

"she did not say thank you, you don't have to lie Mar, I can imagine how excited she is to have me helping her, fuck's sake she didn't even eat her cereal cause I made it"

Flaca responds scoffing, Maritza stops in her tracks shocked, it was happening again. Flaca was shutting down on her, her pet name was gone already. she can't let this happen again

"well I'm thankful that you're doing it, and thankful for everything you do with her, and with me"

Maritza says hugging her from behind, resting the side of her face onto her back as the tall woman stood straight with the laundry basket in her hands, she feels Flaca take a long, deep breath upsetting her as she realizes in how much pain her partner was 

"thanks"

Flaca lets out her voice barely audible, laced in sadness as she supressed a sob, she feels Maritza's embrace tightening around her, grounding her.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been treating you right"

Maritza says refusing to let go of her

"it's fine, you have a lot on your plate I un-"

"so do you, we're dealing with this together and you're worried just as much as me. you already have a lot on your plate with her being a massive bitch and the last thing you need is me being a massive bitch to you as well, so I'm sorry"

Maritza continues

"apology accepted princesa, now can you go check the food since you locked me in one spot?"

Flaca scoffs gently snaking her hand behind her to hold her lover for a second, she smiles softly feeling Maritza leave a kiss on her back

"yeah, I'll go do that"

Maritza says breaking off the hug and starting to back up slowly her eyes looking at Flaca in awe as she saw her putting the clothes into the tumble dryer. The girl really had no evil in her unless it came to protecting someone she loved, she's just a big ass baby

"By the way my mom is coming over, she wants to check on Juliana so I invited Mac too and we're all having dinner together"

Flaca says walking to the kitchen to find Maritza carefully putting fried in the chip-pan and running away at the slightest sound, Flaca giggles at her lover's actions and helps her out with the fries

"Maybe you should take care of the food, I'll set the table and get Juliana's things ready yeah? the doctor called to check up on her she told me it's better if you do the therapy during bath time, it's less painful"
