chapter 4

   Carmen pulls off at her apartment to get her stuff leaving the sleeping kids in the back of the car. She didn’t notice that Shane also came up behind her. 

 Shane:"Nice apartment"

 Carmen:"Yeah you can call me a neat-freak…I really hate to see stuff out of place"

 Shane:"You done?"

 Carmen:"Yeah let’s go"

 They quickly go to Shane’s hotel to get her stuff as well. 

 They pull up at their family house just in time for dinner. 

 Abuela is amused to see Shane’s evil androgyny. The truth is Carmen was amazed by Shane as well. Shane came along as sharp, smart, friendly, businesslike, hot and somewhat devilish with that crooked smile of hers and her green eyes.  Marco and Rosita totally loves her. Shane is given the guest room and Carmen sleeps in her own room beside the guest room. Shane is using the bathroom that Carmen uses. Shane was in her room unpacking her clothes, when she sees Carmen walking out of the bathroom with only a towel on. It flared Shane’s wild carnal desire. She followed Carmen and found her door ajar and her changing inside. Everyone else in the house is asleep. So Shane calls for her luck and enters the room. Carmen feels that someone is standing behind her, but she’s too afraid to look behind her. But then she does and she sees a pair of intense green eyes in the dark and light and she yells or rather squeals at the top of her voice. Shane jumps at this. Whatever it was that she expected, Carmen yelling was definitely not one of those. So she just quickly left the room and went to her own. Carmen realized after a while that it was only Shane.  

         She thought whether she should go to Shane and apologize for yelling like that. But she thought better of it and went to bed. Then she heard a creak outside her room and got out of the bed to see what’s going on! She comes out and hears that someone is opening the fridge. So she heads toward the kitchen and finds Shane looking inside the fridge.

 Carmen:"HUngry?"

 Shane:"Kinda"

 Carmen:"Here let me warm up some food for you"

 Shane:"I think I can handle this! You don’t have to worry about it. I have been doing this since I was a child. You know foster parents don’t really care what you eat"

 Carmen’s heart sank! 

 Carmen:"You were in foster care?"

 "yeah" Shane replied grimly. 

 "I went to school from my foster home and then I ran away and lived in the streets, but then I came around and went to college, until my best friend turned me out for drug."

 Shane wiped her face although Carmen didn’t see the tear falling she could feel that Shane’s heart broke. 

 Carmen:"were you ever in a relationship" 

 here goes the big question…..
