The following weeks

The next few days were more or less the same. Carina would get up in the morning. They took their shower together.

Carina watched Maya's bruises turn yellow after turning purple.
Maya took homeopathy to make the bruises disappear as soon as possible. However, swelling persisted here and there and made small bumps under her skin.

Carina would then prepare their breakfast. Occasionally Carina would eat breakfast alone so that Maya could spend some time with Andy who was on her way home from shift or sleeping in.

Two weeks after the accident, the blonde knew Netflix, Prime video, Disney+, hulu, and so many others by heart. Sometimes she spent more time searching for a movie than actually paying attention to it.

In reality she was just waiting for Sam or Vic or anyone else to come visit or ask her out. Her favorite time of day was 5:10 pm when Carina came home from work.

After two weeks, the bruise on her jaw was almost gone. The healing process had started well, and she had a constant urge to scratch herself.
The second degree burn on her head was already healing. She had moisturized it well and being a firefighter was used to this kind of situation.

She looked in the mirror every morning and evening and began to recognize herself again.

It was at the end of the second week that she was able to eat properly again. Her jaw no longer hurt. Her scar was the result of a cut from a sharp object during the explosion. It was deep enough to require stitches but not so deep that it broke her jaw.

Two weeks was all it took for Maya to open her mouth without screaming in pain.
And if life offered them even that, they would take it.

The previous two weeks had been torture. But not an exquisite torture just before they made love, no a real torture. Seeing themselves naked, kissing each other chastely. They felt like they were reliving their moments before the third date over and over again. Dates that they had made both times in less than a week.

Two weeks and Maya had been proud to show off her exploits at tonight's meal they had made with Vic, Ripley and Andy, an unconventional way to spend Valentine's Day but they didn't want to with Vic, leave Andy alone tonight.

They were now in their beds.
Carina had given up on the onesie idea after three days. Even without touching Maya, sleeping with her was hot. So she slept in a simple nightie. Maya was in shorts and a t-shirt.

- "you looked rather proud of your jaw tonight my love"

-"I was still in a little pain yesterday, but it didn't hurt all day, it's really nice. I can even touch the scar and it's fine."

- "so..." She passed her lower lip between her teeth, while looking at the lips of the one she was madly in love with.

- "So," Maya said before moistening her lips. "Come here. We can't know if we don't try."

Maya was sitting in the bed with her legs extended. Carina was straddling her with one leg on each side. She was just paying attention to Maya's arm that was against her body between them. She had at least 4 more weeks to go.

Even though Maya had said she was no longer in pain, Carina had opted to place her hand on Maya's neck on the left side and her right side on her cheek.

Maya she had her hand in the nape of the Italian's neck.
She was hesitant. She was dying for it. To kiss her full in the mouth. To explore her mouth with her tongue and that she does the same.

The blonde was the first to draw the brunette towards her. She couldn't wait any longer.

The contact was warm and soft. They knew they didn't need to hold back. It seemed that Maya was no longer in pain and they had to take advantage of it, because that's about all they could do for the moment.
