Shane was busy at Wax rearranging her hair cutting supplies at her station when she felt two soft hands brush against her hips lifting up the hem of her shirt a bit. She turned around to find Carmen with a quiet smirk on her face.

She waited for Carmen to say something, but started to get uncomfortable with the ongoing silence. With a questioning look she slowly and softly asked “What?” Carmen tilted her head to the side and bashfully replied with “Nothing. I was just close by and couldn’t resist coming in to see you”

Shane took this opportunity to move forward and passionately, yet subtly kiss her girlfriend. “And I was hoping, you would do.that” Carmen stated with a cheeky smile spreading across her face as she pressed her forehead into Shane’s neck and shoulder.

They stepped apart, and Carmen, with a sad puppy look in her eyes said “I have to go, uhhh! I really have to go. I was on my way to a job at that studio off of Palm. I have to go” quietly “I don’t want to go.”

Shane bit her lip and stepped forward, grabbed Carmen’s hand and started leaving. She turned her head to Carmen as she was walking and said reassuringly “Come on, I’ll walk you out. And I promise, I will see you as soon as I get off work, and we can continue..that.”

As they reached the fence, Carmen started to open the gate; Shane spun her around and fervently kissed her. She broke the kiss, but their lips continued to linger close to one another’s. Shane closed her eyes and with a sigh said “Now go.”

Carmen obeyed and went out to her car. Shane stayed at the gate for a bit watching her girlfriend walk down the street. As Shane turned around, coming out of her coma like stare, she saw a girl she’d never seen before talking to the skate park manager Chris.

As Shane made her way over to the two, she took note of this young girl. She was tall and thin, almost to an unhealthy point, she had messy blond hair that seemed to be bothering her because she kept fidgeting with it, her clothes were very worn out and looked like they could use some mending and possibly even a washing.
