I used y only genderbender nation and I have no regrets. Thanks to Op and Anon for the wonderful comments it's always interesting to play a little with women position and gender issue. And for this chapter I'm sorry for the pairing that is kind of a rarepairing but akes a lot of sense in context also for once, tasty notes at teh end. Enjoy.
Back when Cuba was catholic, before she learnt religion is the opium of the people, she thought that those bastards had a strange pact with God. For a long time she couldn’t find another explanation for their power. Spain, England, Netherlands, France had a halo of supremacy and shining success. For her – for all of them in those days- Europe had everything one could ever desire: money and power, jewels and white skin, women and weapons.
Now she knows that they paid with blood every centiliter of power they had. She learnt that power is volatile and money is useless if your people can’t eat every day. But she also learnt that while you have power over money and fire you also have power over souls and history. That why she can easily understands why America is practically a harem owner. While he’s the world superpower these girls will be throwing themselves at him. And she couldn’t even call them a bunch of filthy hijas de su madre because she’d been here too. In fact she was last time and that disgust her.
She would like to know if Alfred even likes this attention. Not the USA does he like the women that much or is only something related to power. She look at her reflect in the mirror. Is small bathroom mirror, she can only she her face and a part or her shoulder. Not pretty. Can’t be pretty for many reasons the more evident is Doña Gloria that will tell everybody in the neighborhood she was wearing pretty dressed for a Spanish gentleman with all the unfortunate implications. And because it’s useless. Spain will come anyway and will kiss her pretty or not. Only to prove that she is still being his historical partner, his friend with benefit, su amiga y nunca su mujer, his friend and never her woman.
Make sense, she like it that way, nobody wants to belong to her former colonial warder. She look normal in her uniform, tall and strong. Ready for action. Well to a nice dinner she normally can’t afford, a nice discotheque frequented by tourists only and then action. Maybe she should wear jeans and a tank top.
She remembers Alfred for him she used to wear nice dressed. He was the last one because Russia didn’t care about those. With him she only had to be loyal an passionate which was very good or at least not too bad. Ivan was a good lover, she wouldn’t mind seeing him again. But it can’t be. She wonders if USA’s girls keep wearing make up and dressed and pretty skirts for him doing so.
Maybe Colombia, playing the Spicy Latina act and because she’s a beautiful feminine girl that likes to dress up when she’s doing her savior her dollars giving and weapons selling Charming prince.
Panama…Panama? Is Alfred with Panama? God, she’s been alone for too long. Is he with Panama, and what about Taiwan? She sure wear dressed. Natalya also does a magnificent dress for a magnificent beauty but Cuba doubts she would ever return to America.
Israel wouldn’t, maybe one of the Arabs girls she can’t distinguish that are neither Algeria nor Libya.
And Mexico, she would never dress up to him and it was made her special. She wasn’t Alfred’s equal because she was more poor, more needy, more aggressive and demanding that other girls. In the other hand she was the only one that Alfred treated different. Not like and ally or a subordinate.
That was Mexico power being able to see Alfred. The real Alfred not the superpower but the country of freedom and frail bases and insecurities. Alfred treats her in consequently not like an important country, but like an important woman, not sure if he likes or dislikes this power her quasi-sister has.
She looks to her face for the last time, leaves the house and takes a taxi to the airport keeping Mexico in her mind.
Mexico, pretty and dear Mexico with her gorgeous hips and foul mouths and strong will. She always had her way to get men while being strong Cuba doesn’t know how but her violence is arousing and her wisdom is sensual according to men, two in fact: Spain and the Unites States.
Spain loved her, so very mucho, maybe more than Arthur loved Alfred. England had the nurturing and caring love of brothers, Spain the passionate and crazy love of lovers. England let his boy get freedom whit a broken heart. Spain only let resignation take him after ten years of war. And then, he would cry. Drunk, wine bottles and broken voice he would call their name, Peru, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador, Venezuela, Ecuador and Mexico, Mexico, Mexico…
His favorite, the one Antonio made his as soon as she became a woman. His child lover that carried the wisdom of Mayan and Aztec in the eyes and the wide smile of a growing culture in the lips. The girl that came to hate him because she wanted to belong to herself. Like Alfred.
Spain was not longer and Empire and he only had Cuba, Puerto Rico and Philippines left. Only then she became his princess. His sweet sugarcane. Not his lover. That came later because unlike Mexico she wasn’t around when Spain arrived to America she was born when the first Spanish and African slaves arrived.
-Here we are, señorita- Says the taxi driver.
-Gracias.
Stop thinking about that she tells herself. After all Spain is not looking for nostalgia and neither is she. She has lust and Spain too, they are good for each other because she won’t ask for exclusivity and he won’t criticize the evil communism.
He won’t be picturing Mexico while kissing her.
She breaths.
And Spain smile to the beautiful, tall girl in front of him of him her dark skin shining for sweat and the shining white lights of the airport. He think Antonio, you must be lucky to still sleeping with this kind of women after all the things he did and all those fights. He’s right.
1) Hijas de su madre: polite way to say daughter of a b***t without really saying it 2) Cuba and Spain: Cubas was a Spanish possesion alost since Colonization day 1 but it really became important after Spain lost all American colonies byt eh end of the XVIII century in the XIX the only had Cuba, Puerto Rico and Philippines. Cuba becae independent in 1902 but Spain and the island have good relations now. 3) Spain and Mexico: A little of Loli is headcanon but the ten years independence war is real from 1810 to 1821.
I really like your girl Cuba as well as all the Latin American chicks, because I really like seeing those on the meme. Good job on properly shipping SpainxCuba, I really found it believable.
