"Alejandro," Nina pushed him back carefully, "it's not a good time of the month." She had to cover up for her shaved pussy, so she had told everyone her period came early. Her sisters had mocked her, asking if it was because of the crazy white bitches that she was spending so much time with. After all, the four of them had identical menstruation cycles. But Nina complained of cramps and feeling nauseous, and then the snide comments changed to disparaging insults about her getting knocked up.
Something Alejandro wasn't opposed to at all. "But maybe you have a baby in there already," he suggested with his hands digging at her waistband. "I can check and see... and maybe help make one for you." He tried harder when Nina smacked him, but then he froze when she scratched at his arms. "What is wrong with you, girl? Is it true? Have you been hanging with those bitches?"
Angry, Nina pulled herself out of her boyfriend's reach. "It doesn't matter who I spend time with. I'm not feeling good, and you're not listening." She pouted at him.
"What do you expect me to do? Get you some chicken soup?" He was pissed off, too. He didn't come all the way over to Nina's to leave unsatisfied. "It doesn't look like your arms are broken. Maybe you can put those hands to good use."
Nina blushed bright red, mentally picturing what putting her hands to good use now meant, and then feigned turning slightly green. "I'm gonna be sick," she groaned and ran to the bathroom. The sound of fake retching was over the top, but Alejandro got the point. He left without saying anything, letting one of Nina's sisters smack his ass on the way out, and gave up on it. He'd hook up after some beers and get off with someone else.
Nina texted Alice from the toilet. The response, "Ok, be right over, xoxo," made her smile. She went straight from the bathroom to her bedroom, packed her work outfit for the next day, and grabbed her bag of dirty clothes.
When Nina pushed past her sisters, she muttered, "I might as well get laundry done if I'm going to be sick." They knew she was faking and dodging a date with Alejandro, but there was no point in breaking with appearances. Two of her sisters started making fun of her, but Nina shrugged off their juvenile comments. She was out the door and down the street with her bag tossed over her shoulder. She just had to wait for Alice to pick her up. Each step carried her closer to her special friend, and her relief was plain for anyone to see.
Back at Alice's place, they sorted her laundry and then took it down to the apartment complex machines. When they returned to the living room, Nina curled up on the couch and Alice went back to her silly phone games. They didn't need to talk. Now and again, Alice would touch Nina's ankle. Once in a while, Nina would look up and brush Alice's hair back from her face. It was a quiet sort of thing.
When they swapped the first load from the washer to the dryer and started the second load, Alice finally asked, "Was it because you shaved?" She was worried about her sexy Latina girlfriend.
Nina blushed. "They don't know yet. I... I pretended that I was bleeding early. But Alejandro was almost in my panties. I had to get out of there." It was a big deal. Her sisters considered any deviation from drunk, horny, and get married to boyfriend sex to be a sign of becoming a whore or worse. Hanging her head low, she asked, "How long will it take to grow back?"
"Oh, sweetie," Alice rushed to her friend's arms and gave her a big boobie shaking hug. Then she looked at the laundry machines suspiciously. "You know, I think the dryers aren't working right. So you'll have to air out your clothes here so they can hang dry. It could take days..." She didn't have the heart to tell Nina how much her regrowth would itch and how long it would take for fresh pubic hair to cover her sexy pussy.
Understanding Alice's offer, Nina hugged her back. "I don't want to... well, I'll help you clean up and stuff, right?" She was sure Alice would love to have her apartment organized and cleaned. It was something her Mistress struggled with given her long work hours and bouts of excessive pain from her injured leg.
Alice nodded and kissed Nina's cheek. "I would really appreciate that." She was being honest. Her apartment was too cozy and small for a full time roommate, but it would be nice to have company.
Company became more than that though. That evening Nina went into the bathroom, feeling a bit lonely and depressed, and hung out with Alice while her Mistress was in the bath. One thing led to another, there were giggles and a bit of soap suds, and then Nina was commandeered into washing Mistress Alice's back. It wasn't long before Nina was stripped naked and in the tub as well, slowly petting and lathering Alice's long hair, and enjoying more intimate girl time. Once Nina was done washing Alice, her Mistress took advantage of the Latina's sexy naked body.
"Come here, pretty," Alice murmured while rinsing off in the shower spray. Water was draining from around their ankles, and the tub was a bit slippery, so Nina moved cautiously to give Alice a hug.
Toasty warm in the water spray, and feeling lusty and relaxed from the way Nina had thoroughly washed her breasts over and over again, Alice gave her lover an extra squeeze. "Did I do ok?" Nina wasn't sure. She hadn't washed with another woman since she was a teenager, and she was certain quick showers with her sisters to save time and hot water didn't count.
