Well, Shane I think thats about it. When is the soonest you can start? Brooke asked.

Whenever, I can start now, tomorrow, or the next day.

Can you come in tomorrow at ten and get started? Shane had a huge smile on her face.

***** yeahI mean, yes I can. Brooke smiled and stood up from her seat. Shane stood up from her seat and shook her hand. They made eye contact which felt that lasted forever. Shane looked away and headed for the door.

Thanks Brooke. Thank you so much for this. Shane opened the door and headed out. She jumped into her jeep and headed home.

Jenny was writing in her book, while Carmen was watching TV. The door flew open, and they both looked up and saw Shane. Shane ran over to Carmen and jumped on the couch. She grabbed a hold of her and kissed her.

What are you so happy about? Carmen asked.

I got a job. A real job babe. I start tomorrow at ten. Carmen smiled at her girlfriend and hugged her.

Im so proud of you. Carmen kissed her again.

Alright, suit yourself. Shane got up and grabbed Carmens hand. Were out of here.
