The whole group was laughing there ass off, Alice was mortified.

   “Then…then,” Jenny was laughing to hard to say anything. Finally she took a deep breath, “then she looked exactly like she does now. Ha-ha… and she said in this high pitched voice ‘Mrs. Morales, hey how are you? Is Shane there?’” that just made them laugh harder.

   “Yeah ha-ha, very funny. I didn’t expect her to answer and I really wanted to know what the hell Shane was up to.” she was getting really pissed, and she was six shades past red. “So come on you ass tell me what happened.”

   “Nothing you need to know, just that me and Carmen have talked things out.” she really hated lying to her friends, but Carmen wanted to wait to tell them. Shane hated it, she could keep a secrete no problem she just didn’t want to lie.

   “Yeah right, you fucking liar. I can tell that something happened,” she sipped her coffee. “So you said that you Carmen patched things up. So you would be cool hanging out with her.” with that she pointed to the door.

     Carmen walked in, Shane froze, and she was breathless. She watched Carmen walk over to the counter and hug Kit. She looked her over, staring at her long tan legs. She almost lost it when she pushed her hair out of her face.

   “Hey you okay.” Alice was snapping her fingers in Shane’s face, trying to get her attention.

   “Uh… Oh yeah I’ll be fine.” she turned back to look, she was extraordinarily happy to see Carmen looking over at the group. Carmen gave her a small smile that made Shane want to maul her, she let out long sigh.

   “So how’s your new story going Jenny?” Helena turned to her friend, she saw Shane staring at Carmen and thought she could distract the rest.

   “It’s going great, yeah um… I’ve been writing non stop for the past couple days.”

   “Hey guys. What’s up?” Carmen walked over.

   “Hey,” everyone but Shane yelled out. She just smiled at her and nodded her head. Carmen smiled back; they stared for a few seconds.

   “So what are you guy’s talking about?” Carmen asked as she pulled over a chair, she sat next to Bette across the table from Shane.
