Short Stories - Flaritza

Bandaid part 1

I THINK- I THINK THIS WILL BE PRETTY SHORT

Update: nvm🤡

Flaca laid wide awake in her bunk, she looked over to the clock on her cupboard and saw that it was 3.55. she smiles knowing that Maritza was probably on her way back to their bunk after her 8 hour long night shift.

Flaca always waited for her, they wouldn't talk much since Maritza would always be beaten from all the work in the kitchen, but it was kind of their thing. Flaca waits for her, Maritza crawls tiredly next to her they exchange a few words and next thing you know Flaca is smiling at the ceiling hearing Maritza's silent snores. She'd give a few minutes and then calls her name, when the girl doesn't respond in any way Flaca would speak to her silently, let her on some secrets, share some thoughts with the sleeping girl.

Usually it was just Flaca bitching about something Maritza would've done during the day, Flaca would've kept her mouth shut so they wouldn't fight, this was the way Flaca won an argument with Maritza. While she was sleeping

Tonight was different however, the younger girl was feeling really down, she was lost in her thought and didn't see Maritza get back from the kitchen. Maritza looks at the other girl with her eyebrows furrowed knowing that usually she was greeted with a "hey you, I missed you" and one of Flaca's warm smiles that made Maritza's insides melt

She observes the girl who was lost in thought, she looked upset, worried. Maybe even hurt. With that Maritza crawls into bed feeling Flaca tense for a moment before realizing that it was just her

"Hey you"

She lets out her tone off, Maritza tried to brush it off. Maybe she was just having a bad day
The short girl lets herself fall over Flaca's body her face finding the crook of Flaca's neck and her arm naturally curling around Flaca's waist.

Maritza waits in silence, but Flaca doesn't say anything, Maritza uses her elbows for leverage and looks down at Flaca who looked like she had been crying for hours

"I missed you"

Maritza says failing to keep eye contact as she felt her cheeks turning crimson, usually Flaca said it first. She was the one with the confidence to say pick up lines and compliment the other, while Maritza would get shy, blush and quietly say "you too" with a shy smile on her face.

Something was definitely off and Maritza could tell

"I missed you too, pretty"

Flaca says putting an arm around Maritza and squeezing her tightly

"Are you okay?"

Maritza asks back in her laying position, half spooning the other girl

"Yeah, yeah. Just a little distracted, how was work mama?"

Flaca says trying to lighten up her tone, but it still sounded dull and forced to Maritza

"wack as always I'm so tired"

Maritza says crawling on top of the other woman and burying her face between Flaca's bosom

"Get some rest then, goodnight Mari. I'll wake you up for lunch"
