“Carm… you are my best friend… my better half… you’re, you’re my soul mate… and you are the love of my life… and I want to spend every single seconds, minutes and hours with you… as my wife…” Shane said to Carmen who couldn’t control her tears anymore and had her hands wiping her tears away.

“Carmen… will you marry me?” Shane said as a tear rolled down her face.

“ohh Shane!! Baby… Of course… YES!! Yes yes yes!!…” Carmen shouted happily as she cupped Shane’s face and gave her a deep kiss. Shane took the ring from the case and hold Carmen’s right hand and placed the ring on Carmen’s finger.

“I love you baby… with all of my heart… I love you…” Carmen said.

“I love you too Carm…” Shane said.

ABOUT ONE HOUR EARLIER…

Carmen was watching TV peacefully until she heard knock on her door. She wondered who it was because normally her friends wouldn’t meet her at the apartment. Carmen looked through the peek hole but didn’t recognize who it was, the person was standing her back towards the door.

Carmen opened the door slightly making a little squeak. The person turned around to look at Carmen.

“Tasha?…. Oh my god… Tasha Jones?” Carmen said as she opened the door fully.

“Yeah that’s me…” Tasha said as she smiled at Carmen.

“Come on in… I didn’t know you were in New York… how are you??” Tasha walked into the apartment and proceeds to go to the living room with Carmen.

“Yeah I’m here for the Gucci Spring Show… uhm, I’m good I guess… I’ve been better though…” Tasha said looked at Carmen who is sitting next to her.

“Why… what’s up?” Carmen said to her friend. “Oh before you start… you want something to drink?” Carmen asked politely to her guest.

“Uhm yes… I wouldn’t mind… just water, if that’s okay…” Tasha said.

“Yeah sure…” Moments later Carmen came back into the living with two glasses of water in her hands and put them of the coffee table.

“So anyway… what’s up…”

“Carmen… you know the last show we did together in London about eight months ago…”

“Oh shit, she’s gonna bring that up…mmm hmm….”

“At the after party, do you still remember that night? What I’ve said to you after…”

“I do… but Tasha… you have to kno….”

“No Carmen… I need to let this out, I’ve been thinking about you day and night… it’s been driving me crazy… I’m so fucking hung up on you, I should’ve made you stay in London…” Tasha confessed to Carmen, who looked down with a guilty face.

“Tasha… you know I’m already with someone… and that night, it was… it was a mistake Tasha…” Carmen said.

“No, no no… I’m not hearing that from you, you know there was something there Carmen. We both felt it… we… felt it and don’t you dare deny it…” Tasha said leaving a quiet Carmen to think.

Carmen have looked down for a about two minutes now, she couldn’t face the woman that she cheated Shane with. Carmen felt a hand under her chin; slowly lift it up to face Tasha, who was now faced with a teary eyed Carmen.

“I can’t Tasha… I can’t… I love Shane… I love her…”

Tasha nodded, thinking that it’s not the end between the two of them.

“Huh… I thought I would get a slightly different answer than that…”

“I’m sorry…”

“Don’t be… hey, at least I tried… uhm, I guess I should head out now…”

Carmen could only nod.

“I’ll wait for you though… even if it takes a lifetime…I’ll be there Carmen, just give me a call…”

“HEY BABY… I’M HOME…
