Short Stories - Flaritza

You make me nervous part 3

before you start reading - I thought it would be a short part but it ended up being the longest one I- sorry👁️👄👁️

the two Latinas laid both on their sides, a small space between them, Flaca had her hands to herself even if she wanted to hold Maritza until the girl stopped crying, but she just couldn't

after a few minutes of silence, Maritza looking at Flaca her eyes filled with fear she spoke up 

"you could've told me that you had a twin you know"

Maritza says her voice barely audible 

"I don't see her as my sister, or as a person"

Flaca responded her eyes looking everywhere besides into Maritza's own

"then you could've told me you had a twin sister that you don't want to speak about who is fucking psycho, that way I would've known that there's a chance that it wasn't you earlier this morning"

Maritza says leaning her head closer to Flaca's own, god she just wanted to fall asleep in her warm embrace and kiss her stupid lips

"you really thought it was me?"

"yes, not cause I wanted to but there was no other explanation. I didn't know a crazy person looking exactly like you existed so. I mean I'm not saying that if I knew you had a twin sister I would've been oh that's not Flaca right away, but I would've had an idea of why Flaca was acting like that you know?"

Maritza tries to explain, it was hard to word the message she was trying to send out

"yeah, I know it's my fault, I'm sorry"

Flaca says lowering her head burying it into her own chest as she felt like she needed to shrink, it was all her fault

"no it wasn't, you didn't know she'd be here come on. I'm fine now"

Maritza assures her fighting herself to keep her own hands to herself 

"did she hurt you?"

Flaca asks after a few seconds of silence, Maritza's heart aches at the tenderness in Flaca's voice. this woman really had nothing more than love and cuteness to give to this world

"no, no she didn't"

Maritza answers her voice softly feeling a small tugging on her lips as she sees Flaca silently breathing a sigh of relief

"can I ask you something?"

she speaks again, her voice still quiet and shy, Maritza hums in response

"how could-uh-"

she says getting distracted as she locked eyes with the other girl 

"how could you not tell that it wasn't me?"

she says starting over biting her bottom lip before looking away again

"cause like I said I didn't know there was an identical person with the opposite character, in my eyes I saw Flaca in that bathroom cause I didn't know about Natalia-"

"yeah but- she was acting differently from the start of it all, right? you said she gave you a compliment?"

"yeah- I mean I asked her like 4 times if she was okay because I knew it wasn't something you'd do-"

Maritza replies but is cut off by a nervous Flaca

"and even now, when you were sleeping on her, her hands- they were like- not even your waist, love handles or even lower I-I play with your hair when you nap"
