Shane’s POV


It’s five in the morning and Carmen is bouncing around like a nine year old at Christmas. While I’m still half asleep and driving her to the gym for her yoga class…..Driving while tired must of been one of the dangers that Mr. M. left out.

“Ok, we’re here! Hurry up let’s go”


I park the car and walk with Carmen into the fittness club.. We walk up to the counter and she asks about her class and then starts to order some stupid spa treatment for herself….and me?

“Carmen I don’t do that kind of thing. So yeah I’ll just sit and watch or something.”

“Shane you need to relax. So lets go!”


She grabs my hand and pulls me towards the locker room to get ready for her yoga class…This should be fun to watch.

“Here change into this.” She pulls a set of clothes out of her bag that look way too tight and just not for me.

“No way Carmen. I am not doing yoga. No. I will take your little spa treatment but no yoga!”

“Well if you want to protect me you have be where ever I am.”

“And I will. I’ll be on the side watching.”

“I bet you’d like that.” She says as she walks over to me and gets so close I can smell her shampoo.

“Well, I might like it a little.”

“Oh yeah, well your also gonna like doing it. Not watching it. So put these on.” She presses the clothes into my chest and walks away to get dressed….I think she likes messing with me.




The Yoga Room

Carmen’s POV


Me and Shane walk into my yoga class and imediatly her face goes from “I don’t wanna do this” to “I really don’t wanna do this”.


“Carmen I really don’t wanna do this.”

“haha stop whinning. It won’t that bad I promise.”

“Hello ladies are you ready join us?” The instructor is ready and so am I! So drag Shane out to our mats and we get started…..




Pool Side

Shane’s POV


Okay so maybe yoga isn’t all that bad. I actually had fun. But Carmen? Not so much. I think me getting hit on by the instructor kind of pissed her off. So now we’re just relaxing by the pool with cutts of vegtables on our eye lids. This spa stuff is weird but I deffinatly can get used to this. Sitting pool side listening to my ipod and not having any dis….

“Come on! We’re done here. Let’s go!”

“Fine. Where to next my lady.” I say as I stand up and make a small bow.

“Your a dork…..we’re going to meet my friends for lunch. So come on we need to shower off.”


We walk off towards the showers and when we get there, all the showers are taken….but one.

“You can go ahead Carm, I can wait.”

“Don’t be silly we can both fit. And we have to hurry up and meet my friends so lets go.”

Carmen once again grabs my hand and she pulls me to the shower stall and we get in. She starts to take of the bathing suit that she had on…

“Umm Carmen, I would feel a lot better if I just waited outside til your done.”

“Shane we’ve showerd together before. It’s no big deal. I really don’t mind.”

“Those weren’t showers. They were baths. And we were like six!”

“Still don’t see your point.” She slips her bathing suit off completely and starts to shower as if I’m not even standing here. So I turn around and wait for her to finish.

“Shane you can’t get clean if your not standing in the water.”

She pulls me into her and we’re standing face to face. I can’t help but look down and see how perfect her body is….damn, I wanna kiss her so bad it hurts…..but she has a boyfriend. And doesn’t think of me that way. And we’re friends…just friends….who happen to be showering together……. she leans in futher and whispers in my ear…

“I’m all done.”

And with that she smiles and walks out…..she’s gotta stop fucking with me.

I quickly wash my hair and get out. I walk over to where Carmen had our clothes in a locker.

“Here’s your clothes.”

She hands me my clothes and I don’t say a word. She really has me upset. She’s playing games with me and she doesn’t even know what she’s doing.

We finish dressing and we walk out to the car, get in, and head off to meet up with her friends.


We pull up to the resturaunt and I open her door.

“Thank you.” She says it in a tone that says I’m sorry for earlier….but I’m not buying it.

We walk in and she sees her friends and waves.

“Okay I shouldn’t be too long. You can sit here and order what ever you want.”

She walks off to her friends table and I sit down at the counter and I look up at the menu to see if I want something.


Carmen’s POV

I haven’t seen my friends in who knows how long and when I get to the tabel all they want to know is who I came with?!

“So what’s her name?”

“……her name’s Shane.”

“I thought you were seeing what’s his name?”

“I am. She’s just my bodyguard.”

“She can do more to my body then just guard it…”

“Oh shut up jess, your not even gay.”

“Well I am now….call her over here!”

“No.”

“Carmen come on!”

“Yeah, just call her over”

“Fine”



Shane’s POV

Carmen’s calling me over to the table and I don’t wanna go over there but she looks kind of upset about it. So I’ll go……cause two can play this little game of hers.

“Did you need something?” I ask her with a shit eating grin on my face. Knowing full well that she doesn’t need me over here.

“No she doesn’t. But we do!”

“Sit down with us Shane”

The look in Carmen’s eyes says she’s totally pissed.

“Ok sure.”

“So Shane what’s it like being a bodyguard??”

“Well today’s only my first day of doing this. But umm I’m a DJ normally”

“Oh my gosh that’s so cool!”

“Yeah, that’s really cool Shane.”

“I bet your a really good at it.”

“Well I don’t know ladies….”

“I bet your good at everything!”

“Fuck, I can’t take this.”

Carmen gets up and walks out. And yeah I wanted to make her mad but I didn’t want her to be this mad.

“Umm excuse me ladies I’ve gotta go.”

“Bye Shane!!”



I run outside and look around. Then I see Carmen walking off towards no where.

“Carmen where are you going? The car is this way.”

“I know that Shane.”

“Well then where are you going.”

“Home.”

“Carmen stop!” I raise my voice a little but she keeps walking. So I run up to her and grab her and turn her so she could face me.

“What’s your deal?”

“What’s my deal?! You’re my deal Shane! You and your fancy suit! And they way you have to make everyone I know hit on you! I don’t need to be protected so just leave me alone.”

“What? No one was hitting on me.” I play dumb hoping she’ll just drop it.

“Are you serious? My yoga instructor! Everyone in the class! And my friends!”

“I didn’t notice.”

“You didn’t notice?”

“No…”

She pulls away from me and stars to walk off.

“Okay so maybe I noticed, but it’s not my fault Carmen!”

She stops and turns around to look at me.

“Do you think I like wearing this suit. Do you think I like following you around and getting toyed with?”

“I’m not toying with you.”

“Bullshit Carm.”

She gets mad again and storms off. She steps off the sidewalk to cross the street and I see a very familiar black SUV driving up real fast. So I run towards Carmen and pull her back onto the sidewalk just as the SUV passes her…..that was way too close.



“You okay?”

“Yeah.”

“Carmen they didn’t even hit the brakes.”

“I know…….Shane you can’t tell my dad.”

“Carmen you know I have to.”

“I don’t want him to worry…..Shane please.”

“Alright Carm….I won’t say anything.”

“Thank you.”

“Yeah….wouldn’t want your dad to worry….or your boyfriend.”

This time I grab her hand and I lead her to the car with me so I can take her home.
