Short Stories - Flaritza

coming out

"I love doing this with you"

Maritza says drawing figures of 8 on the tall girl's body while they laid down on the floor of the storage room

"sex?"

Flaca asks holding Maritza's petite body close to her looking at the ceiling, smiling to herself as her mind was still seeing Maritza's naked figure straddling her

"No! well yes, I love that part too, but this. When we just lay here and just talk or do anything at all really, I love it"

Maritza says nuzzling her  freezing nose in Flaca's neck making Flaca flinch at the contact and suck in air

"ahhh, you're fricking nose girl!"

Flaca says slightly pulling away from her

"I mean we are in a fucking freezer"

Maritza says scooting closer to her secret girlfriend

"yeah, we should probably get outta here, Gloria will be up in about 30 minutes"

Flaca reasons, Maritza pulls away to give Flaca space so she can get up and help her get up. When Flaca helps Maritza up the girl has no hesitation to push Flaca against a wall placing both her hands on each side of the tall girl's face.... shoulders she can't reach that high unless she's on her tip toes, and her body pressed against her

"I'm really getting tired of this you know?"

Maritza says not making eye contact with the tall woman who was dumbfounded

"tired of us?"

Flaca asks quietly after a few seconds of silence looking down at her hopefully still secret girlfriend

"NO! this Flaca I'm tired of hiding you! I'm tired of checking the whole block before I can hold your hand or kiss you I'm tired of sleeping in my own bunk just in case someone passes by! I'm tired of only having sex in a freezer, I mean sure it's soundproof BUT IT'S A DAMN FREEZER"

Maritza says her voice still soft even when she 'yelled'

"I know"

Flaca says rubbing her creased forehead and letting out a sigh of relief

"I know that you know, you told me that we'll come out after seeing how this goes so we agreed on 2 months, baby it's been 7 and as far as I know our relationship is pretty good"

Maritza says now looking at the tall woman with glistened eyes realizing that she wasn't the only one upset by the situation, Maritza feels bad for bringing it up

"just forget it, I don't know what got in me. let's just head back into our bunks"

Maritza says with a sad tone but a small smile visible on her face

"you know that it's only cause the family wouldn't accept us, especially us!"

Flaca says not wanting the small girl to think that she didn't want to claim her or something

"why especially us? what do we have different?"

Maritza asks trying to understand Flaca's thoughts

"because we look the straightest, we act the straightest"

Flaca says

"EXACTLY! we act, it ain't who we are"

Maritza jumps to prove her point, Flaca sighs and runs a hand in frustration through her hair not wanting to disappoint her girlfriend but on the other hand not wanting to lose her family as that would mean no protection for her girlfriend and herself.
