everyone knows they're in love, except them.
Maritza Ramos and Marisol "Flaca" Gonzales have been friends since the day they met at Litchfield. something changed when the 2 shared a drunken kiss on Valentine's day a couple of months before being sep...
"You ok there mami?" Gloria asks with a small smile on her face "what happened?" she asks now curious about Flaca's burst.
Flaca looked at Maritza's bunk still standing outside their cube.
"He was in our bunks... and Maritza is here, I swear to god Gloria if he gets anywhere near her I'll rip his fuckin head off, both of them"
Flaca says with fear and anger that were clearly visible in her voice while pacing out of the cube with tears starting to form in her eyes and panicking that he had done something to her other half.
"ok, ok hey just calm down mija it's ok your babygirl is in there sound asleep and she's fine"
Gloria says while grabbing the taller girl's shoulders to calm her down while giving her a reassuring smile.
"we don't know what went on in there ok mami? maybe nothing happened. I mean she wouldn't be sleeping if he had done something for sure, right? and you know she sleeps early when there's a storm" Gloria tells Flaca trying to reason with her.
"that's the thing, can't you see ? Gloria she's not fuckin asleep, and no she doesn't fall asleep early because she's fuckin scared of storms and she waits for me every time so that she can just snuggle up with me" Flaca says with her voice now breaking and tears starting to make their way down her face leaving a trail behind them.
"you're so fucking in love with that girl it's adorable"
Gloria says with her facial expression going from worried and confused to relaxed and calm.
"whaaat??? I'm not in love with my best friend..."
Flaca stutters as she looks at the floor and then back into Gloria's eyes
Gloria raises her left eyebrow and a grin forms on her face.
"can we just focus on Maritza? you know how much she means to me"
Flaca says trying to change the subject and still panicking cause she has no fucking idea of what to do
"please, Gloria?"
"fine fine. look you can see her there ok ? she's fine for now Flaca, if you're that worried about her just keep a closer eye on her I'll help you with that if you want. but look at her, seriously look at her she's asleep"
Gloria points out to Maritza and Flaca's eyes follow her hand until they meet a small figure curled up under a thin blanket. Flaca can't help but smile at the sight of her best friend even if all she was seeing was a blanket, the thought that Maritza was under that blanket made her smile so damn wide. she turns back to Gloria and her smile disappears and panic starts showing all over her face once more.
"Gloria she's not fuckin sleeping, she never sleeps like that. look, she never puts the blanket that close to her face because she's scared she might get an infection or some other shit from the fucked up material that blanket is made of. And look, look at her figure, her breath isn't even Gloria that means she has been crying. I know her Gloria and that is not a sleeping fucking beauty" she whisper yells to Gloria.
"awhh you think she's a beauty?"
Gloria says as if that was the only part she heard.
"of course i think she's a beauty did you see that woman? can you PLEASE just focus for a moment?"
Flaca begs Gloria as tears threaten to fall down once more from her eyes.
"look honey, just get give her some time she trusts you and you know she'll tell you anything ok mami? if she doesn't then you talk to her about it. but for now just go back to your bunk and make sure she's fine and if her breath doesn't even out in the next 20 minutes then you try talking to her ok?"
Gloria says while grabbing the taller Latina's hands in hers and squeezing them.
"What if he hurt her Gloria"
Flaca says with fear laced in her voice still not sure if she should give Maritza space.
"then we'll fuck his face up like we did to his brother okay mija? just go be there for her she needs you to be there right now ok? And if you ever get to keep that girl. You better hold her tight Flaca."
Gloria tells her while raising her eyebrow for Flaca to understand what she was referring to.
"ughh Gloria for the millionth time. I Marisol 'Flaca' Gonzales am NOT in love with my best friend Maritza Ramos"
Flaca says with an exhausted expression forming on her face but going red from blushing, as a small smile forms on her face which Gloria catches a glimpse of as Flaca tries to hide it.
Gloria scoffs as she sees Flaca's small smile which meant a lot of things, and they both knew that,
"sure have it your way then, I just hope that one day you'll realize how in love you two are with each other"
"goodbye Gloria"
Flaca says with an annoyed face while giving a quick hug and thanking the older woman who was like her mother in there and then making her way into the cube and sitting on the bed Indian style waiting for any sign coming from Maritza.
