Chapter 3

A few hours later, Zo was hard at work on the song for Dana and Alice. She heard the front door open and smiled thinking of Carmen coming in with her arms full of groceries.

 “Hey, hot mama, get in here and help me out of these clothes.” Zo yelled playfully. She lay back on the bed and concentrated on making herself look as sexy as possible in her blue sports bra and torn jeans.

“Well, I don’t know if Carmen would like it, but I’m game if you are.” Shane said leaning against the doorframe. She crossed her arms over her chest and smirked, looking over Zo.

Zo’s eyes widened and then she glared at the tall brunette. “I forgot that you had a key.”

 “I didn’t need a key this time.” Shane started to laugh and Carmen peeked over Shane’s shoulder.

“Oh babe, I ran into Shane on the way up.” She chuckled and patted Shane on the ass. “So when you guys are done having an affair, you want to help me put the groceries away?”

Shane choked back another laugh as Carmen went back into the kitchen. Zo just sat back on the bed staring at Shane.

 “Hot mama?” Shane growled low.

“Look, I know it’s not as original as Batman and Robin.” Zo grinned and hopped out of the bed.

“Shane get that sexy lady of mine into the kitchen to help me. I got her those sweet pickles she likes.” Carmen yelled from the kitchen.

“Woo hoo, sweet pickles! Uh oh, Batman, I think that the bat phone is blinking.” The blonde smirked and tried to get passed Shane, but the tall girl got Zo into a headlock and dragged her into the kitchen.

Carmen smiled when the two friends appeared in the kitchen. Shane let Zo out of her grip when she saw the bottles of beer that Carmen was unpacking.

Zo stood up straight and looked at Shane. “You know, it’s like your eyes gloss over when you see beer.” Zo pulled out some bread from a bag.

“Really? Hmmm, that’s strange.” Shane smiled and twisted off the cap of the bottle. Carmen laughed and placed some eggs in the fridge. Zo shook her head and grabbed a beer.
