Untouchable - maya and carina

chapter 27 - mama

"One day," Maya says, looking at carina happily

"Well, it better be soon so Vic can stop asking me" I laugh

"maybe" she mutters

We don't do much all day; we just sit on the couch watching tv like usual. We're all piled on top of each other making it very hard to move but none of us minded as we loved being with each other.

"I need to pee, but I don't want to move" Maya groaned

"It's too comfortable here" carina added

"well, I don't particularly want any of you peeing on me so I think you should get up," I say

"Fine, I'm up," Maya said groaning

"Now be quick, it's getting cold," I say as she runs away quickly

"Sometimes I forget she's a gold medallist," carina said,

"she's a what?!" I say shooting up

"You don't know?" she asks laughing

"Know that my mom is an Olympic gold medallist? No, I didn't" I say as carina smiles

"What?" I ask

"I love that," she says grinning

"Love what?"

"Your mom the Olympic gold medallist," she says, quoting me

"Ok, don't change the subject, I want to know how despite how long I have known you, neither of you thought to mention it" I laughed

"Mention what?" Maya asked coming out of the bathroom

"That you're an Olympic gold medallist!"

"Oh yeah," she says quietly before sitting back down as I give carina a weird look

"it's a sensitive topic" she whispers so Maya wouldn't hear

"She got it for running" she adds as I remember what she told me about her dad forcing her to run track

"Why did you let me go crazy about it?" I ask feeling bad

"There was no stopping you, I think the whole street heard you shout it" she whispered while smiling

"Now I feel bad"

"don't worry, you can talk to her about it later if you want"

"yeah," I say as I turn my attention back to the tv

*****

"I'm going to have a shower, I feel gross," carina says after we finish lunch

"ok," I say as she goes into the bathroom and Maya and I sit on the couch again

"I'm sorry," I say breaking the silence

"Hm?" she says quietly

"I went crazy about the whole gold medallist thing"

"it's fine"

"No, it's not," I say as I sit night next to her and lean on her shoulder as she wraps her arms around me

"I didn't want the medal" she whispers

"because of your dad?" I ask

"Yeah, I never wanted to run competitively, I only did it so he would like me and then whenever I was sick or when I got hurt he would still make me run, he made me do extra to 'run it off as he said"

"He made you run when you were hurt?" I asked

"Yeah, I won the medal with a sprained ankle. I didn't want to run that day, in fact, I begged him not to but he wouldn't listen, he just beat me up and put me in more pain than before"

"You won an Olympic medal on a sprained ankle?" I asked softly

"It was only because I was so scared of what he would do to me if I didn't," she said as I saw a tear roll down her eye

"Come here," I say putting her head on my chest, something she always did for me

"I love you mom," I say

"I love you too" she whispers

We lay there together silently until carina comes out of the bathroom

'Is she ok?' she mouths to me as she sits next to us

'sad' I mouth simply

She cuddles up to us as we layed watching tv for the rest of the day. Maya eventually fell asleep as we continued talking about what happened

"Was she crying?" carina asked

"Yeah, she got upset about all the things her dad did"

"What did she say, I've always known it was something to do with her dad, but she never really said what?" she asked as I explained what she told me

"My poor Bambina," she says

"I know it's random, but do you think you're ever going to kiss?" I ask her

"I don't know, she lets me touch her face now and it's becoming a more normal thing though"

"Do you want to?" I ask

"of course, I do, I've wanted to kiss her from the moment I layed eyes on her, but I'll never do anything until she's ready"

"Do you love her?" I add

"I do" she smiles

"You know" she starts "this is probably one of the first times she has been able to talk about her dad and get upset about it without having an attack"

"Really?"

"Yeah, she usually has an attack or almost has one but this time she just let herself get upset without it going further"

"that's good," I say smiling

Maya's POV

Ava and carina went and layed down while I turned everything off before going to join them. I look at them from the doorway, seeing ava lying on carina, with her arms wrapped around her. It was I sight I didn't think I could ever get enough of.

I go and lay down next to them, smiling at carina who's holding onto ava with all her strength

"Night Bambina" carina whispered

"Night mama" ava said barely awake
