Zurena

A jealousy scene

Maca's POV
The next day we decided that we would have a party that night so Zule and I drove to town to get the drinks and the food as Saray and Rizos were in charge of cleaning the house and preparing a dance floor.
"You ok?" Zulema asks me as we are driving back to the desert.
"Yes. I just miss the city life you know?"
"No, not really" Zule answers.
"My whole life was in the city, I was always busy. In jail I was always busy. I'm just not the type to sit around looking at the desert sky all day.." I say.
Zule doesn't say anything, just keeps driving.
I turn the radio on and lay back my seat to enjoy the ride.

Zulema's POV
Maca's not happy. She's free but she doesn't feel at peace and that keeps bugging me.
The rest of the drive home I think of ways that I can give her the sense of freedom she deserves until I come up with the best one.
Two weeks in bora bora. I know a guy that has a boat, I could drive it there and then back, that way we wouldn't be caught on any boarders and we could enjoy the freedom of the beach and the sand and the paradise, just us two.
As we get to the house Maca goes to help the other two with the party preparations and I walk inside to make some phone calls.
I get it all arranged and print one image of a bungalow in Bora Bora and write a note on the back of it. Then I grab a random piece of paper and put it inside of it. I write "Maca" on the outside and put it under my pillow to give it to her later.

Maca's POV
The rest of the day passed by quickly as we kept laughing at Saray's and Rizo's silliness with the preparations for our little party.
As the sun started to set, we took turns showering and got dressed up, in actual dresses, all of us except Zule who changed to washed pants and a shirt but refused to put on a dress.
We each did our make up and I was the last one to walk outside.
As I open the door of the trailer to come down all eyes were on me and Saray even whistled.
"you look so beautiful Rubia!" Rizos stood up and came to kiss me on the cheek and then put her hands on my waist and looked at me.
"You're so beautiful!!" She says and all I can do is smile before Saray comes up to us and puts herself between Rizos and I.
"Yes yes she's very beautiful but she's got a girlfriend and to remind you, so do you so let's go. Maca what do you want to drink?" Saray asks before turning her back to me and grabbing Rizos's hand to pull her with her as she walks back to the chair she was sitting on before and sits down.
"You just sit down" I joke and I walk to the drinks table to pour myself a margarita and walk to the circle the girls are sitting on to go sit on Zulema's lap.
She sits up as I sit on to of her and gives me a kiss on my neck before whispering "you're beautiful."
I blush and take a drink of my glass to cover it up.
"So what's with the music? No one is going to turn it on?" I ask.
"I am" Rizos says and stands up to turn the radio on.
"Come on, let's dance!" She says to us already dancing alone near the radio.
I give my drink to Zulema and give her a peck on the lips.
"Hold my glass, and do not drink it all before I'm back!" I say before giving her another peck and swaying to the dance floor to dance with Rizos.
Saray joins us and the whole time I dance alone, sometimes making eye contact with Zulema to tease her, others just dancing free and not thinking about it.
A few minutes have past when I feel a set of arms rounding my waist from behind and before I can turn, I feel her smell and I smile knowing it's her and that I'm safe.
Zulema lays a kiss under my ear and I push myself more against her making us sway together.
We dance like that for a while before I turn and put my arms around her neck, our noses being only inches apart.
"You're beautiful!" I tell her.
Zulema laughs and I speak again.
"I'm serious. You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen Zu".
Zulema laughs again and for some reason I feel it's a fake laugh.
"What?" I say stepping out of her arms.
"Shouldn't you say that to Rizos?" She asks me.
"What the hell? Why would I say that to Rizos?" I ask her getting annoyed with her sudden outburst.
"Well, you're the one giving her hugs and smiles all in love with her.." she says.
"What?" I ask getting even more annoyed.
"You know what? Never mind, this was a bad idea.." she says before turning to walk away.
"No!" I grab her hand before she can walk away. She looks at me with a "seriously?" look and she turns to look at Saray and Rizos who are standing just a few feet away from us and are hearing our hole conversation.
"I don't give a fuck about them being here or us not being alone. We're having this conversation. What did you mean when you told me what you did?" I ask her.
"Seriously? Fine!" She says getting closed to me and putting her face in my face. I don't back down. In fact, I even stand a little straighter and wait for her to continue.
When she doesn't I encourage her.
"What was a bad idea?" I ask her.
"This, us apparently.." she says.
"What? Why are you saying that?" I ask her feeling a little sad now.
"I care about you, you know that. But APPARENTLY you care about Cabila overthere!" Zulema yells and points to Rizos to make a point.
"I do not! I care about you! You! I love you!" I scream and I can see by the corner of my eyes that both Saray and Rizos were surprised with what I said.
"Don't say what you don't mean Maca!" Zule says.
"Shut up!" I say. "I meant what I said and you know I do. I'm with you, it's you I pay attention to, not anyone else. I don't get why you're doubting me all of the sudden..." I say and look down.
"Because you came down and all you did was look at Rizos and you let her hug your waist and you smiled at her like you were in love.." Zule says.
"I looked at you. I came down and looked at you but you were talking to Saray and then Rizos stood up and you didn't and I paid attention to her as a friend, nothing more" I tell her.
"She hugged your waist.." Zule says.
"She tries. You know how she is. But I only have eyes for you, I don't want anyone else touching me but you. Because you're my home.." I tell her.
Zule looks up and I nod at her. "You are, and that's why I haven't left, because I can't. Because I can't find a home if I'm not with you because home for me, it's you, and nothing more.." I tell her.
Zulema gives me a kiss on the cheek and hugs me super tight. I hug her tighter and wait for her to let go.
She smiles at me before turning away. She starts walking away and only turns back to tell me "don't move!".
She walks inside the trailer and comes right out with a paper in her hands.
She hands it to me. I grab it and I notice it says "Maca" on the front.
"What's this?" I ask her.
"Open it!" She says.
I open it and smile.
