Kensington slowly tilt his head up and stared at Shane; I think he was crying… he did. Not really cried… but real tears. “I… I treated you like my own daughter Shane… when your father and Uncle Sammy were away… I was the one who took care of you…” He said.

Nobody said anything… even Shane. Fuck… me… this is some family drama.

“….. and… and… Now; after some wrongs I did… this is how you treat me; this is not you Shane… I know you; your heart is as kind as the heavens above dear…” He said weakly.

“People change Jimmy… they change… three months… that is all…” Shane turned around connected with my eyes. She saw me; our eyes connected and I didn’t dare to move. She said to Jenny without taking her eyes off me. “Get him out of here… drive him back to his place…” She said. I saw Jenny and Escobar moved and picked Kensington up; Kensington never took his eyes off Shane… not believing this has happened to him.

I saw Smoky looking at Shane’s direction and he saw me too. He quickly stood up and walked up to me; I turned around and leaned back on the wall behind me.

“Miss Carmen…. this ain’t your spot to be at… c’mon now; I’ll bring you back to your room…” He said in that big Southern twang. I didn’t move as he took a step forward; he looked back to me. “C’mon miss… I wouldn’t wanna force ya…” He said seriously.

“It’s okay Smoky…” Shane said. She appeared suddenly next to me.

Smoky let go of my arms and stood awkwardly; looking at us. “I’m sorry boss… didn’t think I need to be in front of her room…. you know; I can do better stuff next to you…” He said; trying to explain him self… saying his much better off doing something else than guarding me; fair enough. I rolled my eyes at him.

“You can go now…” Shane said. He nodded and left the two of us alone. It was quiet again; we could hear laughter from the men outside.

“What did I tell you…?” Shane said and took a step closer to me. That suit she’s wearing is working their magic on me. I couldn’t take my eyes off her; she looks good… real good.
