two different worlds

chapter 7 : You just confirmed my sexual orientation

After a few minutes Flaca woke up to find Maritza's back instead of her face, she turned on her back her heart thudding in her chest, her cheeks beginning to redden as she started thinking, overthinking about the things that might have made Maritza uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she turned to the other side so she couldn't see her

she laid awake for a good hour thinking about this.

'maybe I was snoring? but I don't snore! maybe it was my breath? I washed my teeth! and I had my face crushed in her chest so what was it? oh my god, what if I grabbed her butt while I was asleep, or her chest?! what if I had a sex dream and I don't remember and I moaned while I was asleep? that would be so embarrassing I'd never even try to look at her again if that happened, what did you do Flaca what the hell did you do?'

'maybe I should just ask? yeah, I'll ask when I feel her toss or something. I can't lose the only friend I got, besides she helps me when it comes to daddy not being here, and she's cute and so so so beautiful! I have to work on that little surprise gosh please turn around I need to ask you something!!!'

Flaca went on talking in her head with her inner voice until she felt the Colombian woman stir next to her she takes a deep breath, ok she took numerous deep breaths before she even opened her mouth but she did talk at the end of the day

"Mari?"

she asks quietly hoping the girl was awake, her body tenses up when she receives a groan from the small girl meaning that Maritza was awake

"did I do something?"

Flaca asks her voice never raising, it was barely audible but Maritza understood every word

"what do you mean?"

Maritza asks now turning around facing Flaca to find her on her side with her hand supporting her head

"nothing, it's just you turned away did I do something?"

Flaca asks shyly

"no, I turned in my sleep don't worry"

Maritza chuckles  scooting closer to the younger woman as she placed her hand around Flaca's neck and the other one around her waist, she then laid her head on her chest making Flaca smile unintentionally, maybe it was cause Maritza was a good cuddler, or maybe the fact that Flaca was so innocent she had never been this close to such a beautiful woman, or any kind of woman for that matter. But Flaca felt like she wanted to stay there, in her arms. forever

Flaca relieved that she hadn't done anything wrong and also relieved that Maritza was back in her arms closes her eyes once more in attempt to fall asleep, but she couldn't, Something was bothering her, so Flaca being raised by a great father decided to speak her mind

"Mari, can I ask you one more question?"

"sure"

Maritza responds now elevating her head

"at the park, before your mother called. What was that? like what was going to happen? if your mother didn't call obviously"

Flaca stumbles on her own words feeling nervous

"what do you think was about to happen?"

Maritza says chuckling, Flaca gulps her spit trying her best to stay calm

"I think I was about to have my first kiss"

Flaca says her voice raspy and low

"hmm, if that is what would have happened. would you have pulled away? if my mom never called?"
