Short Stories - Flaritza

Panty dropper part 5

she arrived to their cube to find Maritza curled up under her blanket as close the wall as possible, holding her pillow close to her for some self-comfort. Flaca takes a deep breath in and lets it out slowly before entering the cube.

'what now?' she thinks to herself as she stood in the middle of the cube facing the small, shaking girl not knowing what her next step should be. After a few minutes of just looking at the girl curled up under the checked blanket  She slowly makes her way towards the bunk and tries her best to not make much sound, slides in and puts an arm around Maritza's waist making her flinch instinctively

"it's ok, it's me Mari"

Flaca says scooting closer to the girl who was now crying even harder hearing her pet name leave Flaca's mouth, The Dominican who had noticed what had happened left a peck on the other's temple and pulled her closer

"I don't want any trouble with your girlfriend, Maybe you should go"

Maritza says her voice barely audible, Flaca stares blankly at the wall for a few seconds

"I thought you'd want to talk"

she admits quietly her voice showing how hurt she was by Maritza's suggestion

"I don't make you feel safe no more do I?"

Flaca says her voice laced in sadness, making Maritza gulp in nervousness

"I didn't say that, I just don't want any trouble with her"

Maritza says

"Mari she's harmless"

"yeah you keep saying that yet you don't realize how she manipulates your stupid head and makes you think you're happy and that she's the love of your life"

she adds and then turns to face the ceiling

"you can't love someone that fast, love takes time"

"shit I had no idea"

Flaca says sarcastically

"I don't love her! I've been dating her for less than a week, before it was just. you know, you actually think I'm going to fall in love with someone in less than a week?"

Flaca asks, Maritza gives her no response making the tall woman sigh

"tell me what happened?"

"dad was driving, Juliana was in the backseat. they were at a red light so my dad stopped, and some asshole was drunk and drove into them, dad is ok thanks to the airbag but Juliana needs a blood transfusion as she lost a fuck lot of blood, she is O+ meaning she can only receive blood from either O- or O+, an they can't find anyone"

Maritza says her voice clear and kind of strong even if it was shaky at some points

"what happens if they don't find the blood they need?"

Flaca asks quietly

"she dies, just a switch, the machine turns off and she's gone forever"

Maritza says now sobbing, Flaca pulls her in her warm embrace making Maritza cry louder into her chest

"it's ok, we'll find the blood and she'll be just fine mama. no switches are being turned off, no way that type of blood might not be common but you'll still find"

Flaca soothes her giving her numerous kisses on her forehead, after a few minutes Maritza is feeling better still wrapped up in Flaca's warm embrace she say with a muffled voice

"dad says she was talking about you"

"she was? so your dad is not in the hospital?"

Flaca asks her eyes watering
