Short Stories - Flaritza

you're coming home: part 2

After a long flight of the three of them cranked up in one position. Juliana asleep on Cindy's shoulder while Cindy tries her best to get shots for their vlog without waking her up.

"What's the plan?"

Cindy says
Flaca simply shakes the box containing Maritza's ring

"Marry the girl, she'll get citizenship as long as we're together like that"

"You think they'll believe you?"

"What makes you think I'm lying, is it fast? Yes. Am i mainly doing it to keep her with us? Also yes. But it was my plan all along. The second i talked to her in there, i wanted to marry her. I knew i would, she just made it harder acting all straight and shit like fuck just let me treat you right"

Flaca says rolling her eyes to the back of her head, smiling as she reminisced the old days, eating slop next to the love of her life. Cindy lets out a loud scoff

"In the ghetto, we always though you two was fucking not gonna lie"

She chuckles

"Wish we were"
Flaca says before letting out a loud scoff.

After they check out of the airport Flaca looks at her phone again

"Fla?"
"Can you text me soon please?"

"We're here chica, just left the airport. Can you share your location with me?"

Flaca waits patiently and shortly after she receives a link. She looks at the small blue dot on her screen. That's her girl

"Are you actually coming for me?"

"Yes love it says we're 4hrs away, is the guy still there?"

"Uhm no he left"

"Okay good, just wait for us then okay? I love you"

"Okay. I love you too. A lot"

"The most"

Flaca replies before slipping her phone back into her back pocket. They gently lay Juliana in the backseat and start their journey to Maritza.

*Time Lapse cuz i can*

Flaca takes a deep breath and let's go of Juliana's hand, they exchange a look and knock on the door together, all 3 holding their breath. They hear footsteps, approaching slowly. Almost as if whoever was behind the door was scared of them. Scared that it's not them. Flaca catches a glimpse of an eye, she smiles sadly she'd recognize that eyeliner anywhere, her eyes look so sad and dull though. The door flings open and Maritza flies out, Flaca catches her and they lock into an embrace for a few seconds, Maritza reaches her hand down and grabs Juliana's hand holding it tightly. Flaca gently puts the latina down and allows them a few seconds

"Oh you've gotten so big baby"

Maritza cries her face in Juliana's chest, the little girl holds her fragile mother tightly, sobbing. After a few seconds Maritza pulls away and makes her way to the camera

"Black Cindy"
She chokes out, she gives her a tight hug and then looks back to the two now behind her

"I can't believe you actually came for me"

She says hurrying back to Flaca, taking her face in her hands and gently caressing it with her thumb, she tilts her head slightly, lost in Flaca's eyes as her own fill up with tears and her vision get blurry.
Flaca smiles back at her pulling her closer to her by wrapping one arm around her waist and kisses her forehead
