Previously…

Shane:  “Carmen, it’s my fault last night but listen to me please.  I am crazy about you – totally and utterly crazy about you.  But I can’t tell the paparazzi…  they write the gossip column.  And I guess I didn’t want to tell them who you are because I want to keep you to myself for as long as possible.  It’s selfish of me and I hurt you in the process.”

Shane to Carmen:  “I am sorry for being so stupid.  Tell me how I can make everything right again.  Just tell me and I will do it.”

Carmen to Shane:   “I am crazy about you too…but… we belong to different worlds.  I am just a normal working class girl trying to make something out of my life.  You are born in the world where you can achieve anything you want and everyone wants to be you or be with you.”

Shane to Bette:  “Yes, you work at the LAPD, Detective Porter.” 

Dana to Shane:  “Tell us how you two met?"

Ch8

Me or her?  And what am I going to tell them?

“Are you sure you want them to know?  You don’t look good in THAT story.” I confirm it with Shane.

“Carm, whatever you decide to tell them, I am all ears.”  She gives me a quick peck on the cheek.

“Ok, you asked me too!  Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”  An evil thought flashes across my mind.

“Cut the sexual tension you two!  Tell us the story already!”  Dana voice fills with impatience.

“Alright, it was three months ago, you remembered the time when my car broke down for a week and I had to take a bus to work.”  I wait for Dana and Tina to nod before I continue.

“Well, one of those nights I…”

“On a Wednesday night.”  Shane interrupts.  Wow, she remembers when it was…  I smile shyly at her and continue…

“On a Wednesday night, I was walking across the park near my place to get home and I saw this lanky figure walking in front of me.  Well. I was minding my own business, feeling pretty tired after work.  Suddenly, I heard her swearing non-stop to the sky.”  I couldn’t help but laugh at what fib I am about to tell them.  Oh Shane will kill me for this… definitely.
