After their talk in that hotel room Shane and Carmen has gotten closer…..they have taken up the typical "couple habits" like calling each other ‘hun’ or ‘babe’ although Shane is not the kind of person to call someone by those names with Carmen…everything is easier, but the the sexual tension seems to be building between them. But Shane doesn’t want to take advantage of Carmen, since she still sometimes feels that Carmen likes her around because she sees JOrdan in Shane…’afterall she did marry Jordan’ is Shane’s excuse. As for Carmen, she doesn’t want to get physical right now…a lot has happened in her life…and she just likes the warm and fuzzy feeling of being near Shane all the time, and she’s glad that Shane, in spite of being the number one player of LA is being respectful of her and didn’t even hint to take advantage of her miserable state. It has always stopped in that almost kiss, almost touch stage. 

 and for Carmen it just feels like the most natural thing on earth. Shane has completely recovered except for she still limps a little while walking. 

 Today is the day they have to go back to Texas to Carmen’s family house and they are supposed to spend a week with Carmen’s family and then head back to LA with Marco, Rosita and Abuela. 

 "Oh my God Carm another plane ride…this is unfuckingbelievable" by now Carmen is very well aware of Shane’s acrophobia, but she knows how to calm Shane down as well. 

 Shane is on the window seat and Carmen is sitting beside her and the seat beside them is empty. 

 "Shane sweetheart I want to you concentrate on me…" with that Carmen cups Shane’s face…and makes her look into her eyes. "now think about something good….some nice dream…and in no time the plane with be on air and you will feel better." Shane closed her eyes and took a deep breath….and Carmen saw that Shane’s lips were tugging into a smile….She wondered what thought made Shane soo happy. She wished it included herself and Shane….she desparately wanted to ask Shane, but then again she didn’t want to break Shane’s thought chain….because then she would start fidgeting again. So she decided against it.
