So how long have you and Cameron been together?

Its Carmen, and we been seeing each other for a while, but started dating last night.

Oh, wellI just wanted to see you and tell you that Im back in town.

Well thats great, but I dont want to see you again. So dont come back alright. You can leave now. Shane leaned against the couch and waited for Cherie to leave.

Alright, I guess its time for me to leave. Cherie turned herself around and walked out of the house. Shane sighed and walked back to her room. Carmen was sitting there in bed with her legs to her chest. Shane crawled back into bed and wrapped her arms around Carmen.

Whats the matter? Carmen turned to Shane and faced her.

Who was she really? I know shes not just a friend.

She was a former lover.

What happened?

6 months ago, I was working on having my own salon. The guy who gave it to me was her husband. She was one of my best customers. And I did her hair and a lot more. But they had a daughter who had feelings for me. I told her I didnt want to be with her, and she knew about me and her mother. Her husband thought me and his daughter had a thing and said he could ruin my career. Cherie stayed away from me, and I wouldstalk her and wait to see her. One night, I finally seen her, and I wanted to tell her I felt for her. But she told me that there were no feelings, and she never wanted to see me again. I was completely heartbroken, and I went down to *****. Shane wiped her eyes and lowered her head. Carmen lifted up her face.

Dont hide from me. Im glad you told me the truth. I know its hard to tell somebody about this since it wasnt so long ago. You were still tearing up inside. Shane sniffed and wiped her nose.

But it doesnt matter now. I have you, and I wanna be with you and only you. Shane smiled at Carmen and kissed her. She put her hand on Carmens face and kissed her passionately. Carmen laid her hand on Shanes, and they slowly fall back on the bed.
