She wiped her eyes trying to act normal; she went in hiding the letter. She found Carmen half awake sitting on the couch. Shane went and put her smoke away and sat down next to Carmen, she sat completely quiet.

   “What are you doing up?” Carmen pushed hair out of Shane’s face. “Did Shay wake up?”

     Shane just shook her head no; she didn’t trust her voice at the moment. She sat with her head in her hands, trying to think about what to do. She looked over at the clock, 3:15 a.m she started to wonder where Carla was. Her eyes were burning with the need for sleep, looked over at Carmen, who was starting to fall asleep sitting up.

   “Let’s go to bed.” she grabbed Carmen’s hand and led her to Carla’s room.

    “Why are we in here?” Carmen asked she sat on the bed undressing. Shane stared at her, watching her every move. She was unable to move, to think, she just watched. All the thoughts from earlier were entering her mind, she couldn’t take any more of it.

   “Shane?” she looked over at her, with a knowing look.

   “Uh… Carla’s not back yet so I want to stay close to Shay.” she walked over to Carmen, leaning in for a kiss. It was a light brush of her lips that made Shane the craziest. She deepened the kiss, crushing her lips against hers, swirling her tongue in causing Carmen to moan.

   “We can’t …not here.” Carmen pushed her away breathlessly, and unconvincingly. Shane just started in on her neck, which was splayed in front of her.

     She gently bit her ear, and licked her neck in little circles. She could feel Carmen giving in, and she took advantage of it. She crawled up on to the bed, running her hands over Carmen’s body. She loved the little sound’s that were coming from her, the sounds that filled the air. It was music to her ears, a song that she couldn’t and refused to forget. She worked her magic, extracting it from Carmen; she loved every little moan, sigh and more than anything, her name.

   “Shaaaaane.” a low murmur from Carmen giving Shane everything she needed. She kissed her, taunting her, running her hand up her leg and around her stomach. She turned her attention to her breast, taking one then the other in her mouth. She ran her tongue lightly over her nipples, she never actually touch them.
