Shane Awakes Chapter 9
Carmen yawned, stretched, and sat up on the edge of her bed. She turned a moment and let her eyes wander over a sleeping Shane. No sleeping wasn’t the word, comatose was more like it. When Shane slept, she slept hard, and she did not want to be woken. Carmen reset the alarm, cranked up the volume, and made her way to the bathroom. She had to smile to herself, she’d never been a morning person, but Shane took hatred of mornings to a whole new level. Shane was quiet and grumpy every morning, without fail. If there was one thing Carmen had learned in the last few weeks, it was to steer clear of her until she’d had some coffee. Somehow, Carmen had gotten used to it, she’d even begun to find Shane’s angry pout adorable. Besides, she loved the moment, after Shane had woken up a bit. When Carmen would dare a quick kiss or caress, and watch as Shane’s face melted into a smile. Then Shane would get that little sparkle in her eyes and give Carmen a real good morning kiss.
There was something to be said for anticipation.
Carmen climbed into the shower, and let the hot water run over her face. She tried to convince herself, that the days they spent apart were the same way. That anticipation made it sweeter to see each other again. She shook her head, ‘am I becoming all clingy and needy?’ She’d never been one to need constant companionship, she loved time to herself. But there was something so abrupt about it all. They’d spend every waking moment together for days at a time, then suddenly without warning, nothing. Shane just stopped calling. And when Carmen did talk to her, Shane was just ‘busy.’ But it wasn’t so much what Shane said, as her tone: distant, guarded. It was subtle, so much so, that Carmen couldn’t help but wonder if she was imagining it. ‘Everyone needs to be alone once in a while, maybe Shane just needs it more than most… Or maybe she’s not alone at all.’ After all, they were just ‘dating’, and though Carmen knew she was the only girl Shane dated, that didn’t mean she was the only one visiting Shane’s bed. Carmen rubbed her eyes and tried to wipe the image of Shane with some random woman out of her head. She hated that she thought like this every time they spent a few days apart. She didn’t know how much longer she could take the weird roller-coaster ride that was dating Shane McCutcheon.

Oh my goodness, I missed this story so much! It’s unbelievable. I’ve always loved it. It’s so fresh to see Sharmen taking it slow in the beginning for a change (remember? Waaay back then?). But for all the holding out that Carmen did, Shane still got some on the first date. LOL! God, see? I totally missed this story. It’s awesome to see Shane growing as a person. She’s giving this relationship a chance, because she sees that’s it’s worth it, even if it scares her. Love the update. Absolutely love it.
Great! Your story is back. Yikes! on the girlfriend slip, but glad Shane didn’t outwardly freak.
Yay, she’s going inside. For a second there I thought she was going to drive away.
