Gardening

Zulema's Pov

We woke up at around 8am the next day, in order to get started on the garden. I couldn't say I was exactly exciting to do it, but if that made Maca happy, that I was at least willing to learn. She made Saray help us as well, which made the task slightly less dull.

"Saray, you simply have to use the shovel to take some of the soil for us to plant the things, it isn't that hard. Stop using your hands!! For god's sake Saray." Maca starts yelling as she hands Saray one of the shovels. Turns out I was wrong, this would be fun.

Maca made us wear rain boots as well as hats, even though it wasn't raining and during the rest of the day, we plant some vegetables and plants. The afternoon arrives and I feel blisters in my hands and a few mosquito bites on my arms, but it was worth it.

I could see in Maca's eyes that she felt incredibly proud of the work we had done throughout the whole day, and even though it wasn't my all time favorite activity, it felt nice to finally do something for us, and not expecting a favor or to pay one, like in we had to do in prison. It was still inevitable to do that kind of comparisons, now that we had this much liberty.

Once we get back inside the house, as I'm getting ready to take a shower, I hear my phone ringing in the living room, and run to pick it up. It was the doctor confirming the appointment I had scheduled for Maca a few days ago. Today was sunday and the appointment would be next friday, and I still hadn't told her I had already scheduled it.

"You have a doctors appointment next friday to see if everything is okay with the baby." I tell her as she approaches the kitchen.

"Good, I thought you hadn't been able to schedule an appointment. Do you think they'll be able to tell me the sex of the baby already?"

"I don't think so, from what I've read they're only able to tell that kind of information around the twelveth or fourteenth week of the pregnancy."

"Oh so you've been searching stuff about pregnancy?" She asks smiling with surprise.

"Yeah of course! I just want to be prepared if anything ever happens and we're here all alone."

"That's really sweet of you, thank you." She walks towards me and hugs me, making me wrap my arms around her back, leaning my head down and burying my face in her neck.

Maca's Pov

"I think I'm gonna take a shower now. I feel like I have soil all over my body" Zulema says as she's breaking the hug.

"Do you want company?" I ask with a grin.

"Of course."

As the water is getting warmer, we take each other's clothes and leave them on the bathroom floor. As enter the box, I feel Zulema's weight against my body as she pushes me into one of the walls inside of the shower. The hot water starts falling on top of both of our bodies, as Zulema grabs my waist as a way to keep our bodies closer, leaving a small bite on the nape of my neck. With one hand still holding on to my waist, she gets her own body lower in order to reach one of my nipples with her mouth, making me growl fiercely. One of my hands goes into her dark hair as my other one reaches for the shower, grabbing it tightly to give me some balance.

As I close my eyes, I start to feel her mouth getting lower and lower until it reaches the area between my legs. The burning hot water mixed with the fast and agile movements of her tongue gives me a sensation like i'm completely out of breath and in desperation, but in the best way possible. She continues the movements with her tongue as I pull her harder and harder as I feel myself reaching the orgasm. And then that's it, and during those few seconds, Zulema gets back on her feet and gazes at my face, like she's appreciating that moment as much as me, and I bet she was.

We get out of the shower and after getting dressed we go back into the living room, where Saray is using Zulema's phone to talk to someone.

"Estrella, you better be careful and tell that boyfriend of yours that if he tries anything with you I'll personally deal with him myself like we took care of people back in prison. You tell him that." Both Zulema and I laugh as we listen to that conversation. That has always been Saray's way to prove her love to someone, threaten anyone near that person, and in a very crazy way, it was sweet.

When she notices Zulema's and my presence in the room, she walks towards us and holds on to Zule's arm.

"Talk to her." Saray tells says handing her the phone.

"What? Why? I don't even know her."

"But I want you to. Zulema you're one of the most important people in my life, I want you to have a conversation with her at least once. Please, do it for me." Zulema takes the cellphone from Saray's hand, without being able to properly disguise how nervous she was. I understood how important it was for Saray for Zulema to talk to Estrella, the same reason why I wanted Zulema to be presented in the education of my own child, because she mattered to me. She was so important to me, that I wanted a part of her reflected on my own kid.

Zulema places her phone on her right ear, looking at Saray as if she's asking her "What am I going to say?".

"Uhm... hello?" Zulema says quietly.

"Yes, that's me. It's nice to me you too." Unfortunately we can't quite listen to the conversation. But it looked like it was going well.

"Yes she told me a lot of good things about you too, obviously. You don't remember but I held you in my arms when you were still a little baby. You looked exactly like your mother. You know, I hope you realize how marvelous your mother truly is, and how much she did for you throughout these years. You are lucky to have her as a mother. Yes, one day I'll find a way to visit you and your mothers, I promise."

I quickly glance at Saray to find her eyes slowly tearing. It was really a beautiful moment, and one incredibly important in their friendship, I imagined. I step back a few steps and watch them, as I smile.
