Us Against All Odds (En)

The cancellation

I have come to believe that in the existence of each of us, there is an undeniable moment when everything changes, a chain of circumstances that suddenly disrupts everything.

As the days passed, the two women saw each other regularly. The firefighters of the 19 continued to come to see Maya, but now they had made it a habit to let her know when they arrived. Indeed, on several occasions, they had found themselves having to look for her in the hospital.

The blonde often made sure to come at times when she knew Carina was available. Since they talked a lot together, she kept an eye on every detail of her schedule. Only births were difficult to anticipate.

It still happened to Maya to dream about the Italian. And the more she learned about her, the more the dreams came true, new details came in, like a nickname, or a tic of language, a way of smiling, or an affectionate gesture.

Obviously for her they were only dreams, but the reality was quite different, they were memories. The captain didn't even remember them when she woke up, just a vague memory of having dreamed of the beautiful Carina.

But she couldn't stop herself from wanting to see her. She was aware of what she had said to Travis and tried to convince herself of it, but deep down she knew she had fallen for Carina. Really fallen for her.

/Dream - Flashback/

It had only been a few hours since Carina had forgiven Maya.
After that visit to the hospital, the brunette had to go back to work and the blonde had asked her to come by her house afterwards.

The Italian had thus arrived on the blow of 18 hours. She had rung the intercom and the captain had opened the two doors, the one downstairs and the one of her apartment.

-"Maya, I..." She had walked in and come face to face with her girlfriend

- "do you like it?"

Leaving the hospital and leaving Carina to work, Maya had gone to the hairdresser to even out her hair, she had taken the opportunity to make her hair platinum blonde.

- "You are too beautiful" she had said this sentence as if it came out of her brain, but she had not necessarily wanted to say it out loud. She stared at the firefighter.

She then dropped her bag and approached Maya, both hands on her cheeks to kiss her.
This last one passed her two hands on the sides of the Italian, to tighten their embrace, but Carina moved back.

- "we need to talk"

- "really?! ... Finally I ..."

-"Maya, it can't be that simple. Yes I have forgiven you... Partly, but you hurt me..." She grabbed the blonde's face again to kiss her fiercely. Before pulling back again. "You're fucking distracting me... I'm never going to finish my sentence. So I said... You hurt my feelings and I don't think we should sleep together right now... We're together, don't go anywhere, but I need some time"

- "okay...how long?"

- "I don't know."

- "and I can kiss you or touch you...?"

- "I'd rather you let me handle this part and be satisfied with what I'll give you"

- "as long as I'm with you..."

- "you are sublime... Did I tell you?" She asked before coming to kiss her again, this time more sensually.

Maya's hands had come to rest on the Italian's waist, trying to pull her back to the bedroom.
