A month later

Shane was sitting on the couch, watching tv. She took the last drag of her cigarette and put it out. She was tired of sitting inside of the house without having a steady job. Carmen walked into the house and saw her sulking girlfriend. She walked over to the couch and sat next to her.

Whats wrong babe? Carmen wrapped her arms around Shanes shoulders.

I cant take this anymore, laying around the house. I dont have a regular job, and I dont have any money. I dont want to sit here and rot. Carmen looked at Shane and felt bad.

Wellhave you ever though of getting off your lazy ***** and finding a job? Carmen tried to light things up, but it wasnt working. She stopped joking around and started to take Shane seriously.

Babe, why dont you get up and go out to different salons and see if you can get yourself a job. How about me and you go job hunting? Shane looked at Carmen and nodded her head. Sostop mopping around and lets go out. The day isnt over yet. Shane smiled faintly at her love and got off the couch. She grabbed Carmens hand and headed out the door.

Jenny was at The Planet, sitting alone. She was writing in her journal and drinking her coffee. Marina walked into The Planet, her first day as co-owner. She came in and saw Kit behind the bar.

Good morning Kit. She gave her a hug.

Hey, why you doing girl?

Im fine.

Are you ready to get back into your groove here? Kit did a little shimmy, and Marina smiled.

Im ready. Kit gave Marina a little pat on the back and walked away. Marina was looking around the caf and spotted Jenny. Marina slowly made her way over to her ex and stood next to the table.

Is this seat taken?

No, go ahead. Jenny never looked up to see who it was. Marina sat down and looked at the petite woman. Jenny put on her pen and looked up. Her heart skipped a beat and her mouth dropped.

What are you doing here Marina?

I work here now, Im co-owner.

I thought you were just visiting.
