Carmen: Do you still live in the same place
Alice: Yeah, actually I do
Carmen: okay, well I will see you later.
Alice: okay, we will be there. (They proceed to give each other a hug, when papi looks out the window)
Papi: What sup? It’s past ten minutes
Tasha: we are coming
Papi: Bring your friend too
Carmen: Hi, papi
Papi: Oh, Hi Carmencita (smiling)

Alice: Okay then! See you at my house, Yes
Carmen: (laughing) I will be there.

Tasha was amazed that Shane left Carmen at the alter, Tasha thought to herself why would someone do that, Carmen was pretty, dark hair and eyes, a fine body, but Tasha had Alice, she was into her, and Alice loved her Tasha.

Upstairs in Papi house

Alice: Hey, papi
Papi: Hey, Alice
Tasha: oh, I don’t get a welcome home
Papi: (laughing) you have to save the best for last
(Everyone laughing)
Papi: Hey, why didn’t Carmen come up?
Alice: she said she had to go; she was shopping for her mom
Papi: (wondering of into space) how do you know Carmen?
Alice: It is a long story
Tasha: So what’s up? How have you been?
Papi: nothing-same old thing
Alice: so how do you know Carmen?
Papi :( smirking) we went to school together, let us just say we studied together
.
Alice and Tasha at the same time “OH”
Alice: well are you coming to the planet tonight
Papi: Probably not, I have to work in the morning you know (sipping her beer)

Alice and Tasha did not stay very long at Papi’s. Tasha had explained everything to Papi about what was going on with her and the military, she asked papi, that if anyone called to question her mentions nothing of her sexual life. Papi agreed. Papi was the only real friend Tasha had and vice versa.

Paige and Shane

While Shane was working at the wax, Paige was unpacking some of the things that she and Shane had moved from Shane’s house. While she was moving one of Shane’s boxes, she came across a picture book that was buried at the bottom of the box.
Paige began to look at the pictures. She saw pictures of Shane and Shay, Alice, kit, jenny,
Angelica when she was born, Bette and Tina when they where happy, there were five pages of Dana before she passed. At the end of the picture book Shane had numerous pictures of her and Carmen; it was titled on one page “to my only true love. I will love you always” love Shane
Paige began to become furious. She didn’t have a clue as to who was this Carmen chick, Shane never discussed her passed with anyone, not even with Paige.

Paige: (calling Shane) Hey, babe! What time are you getting home?
Shane: well, I was going to go home and change. Remember we are supposed to go to the planet tonight.
Paige: why are we going there again?
Shane: Because, Kit and Bette want us there, they want us to meet someone that is very close to them, I think it’s a cousin or something.
Paige: how many clients do you have left?
Shane: I’m up to my last one
Paige: Oh k, well let me call the babysitter for Jared, Do you want me to get you anything to wear?
Shane: uh…the usual, white shirt w/tie black as a matter of fact with my rip jeans
Paige: God, how many rip jeans do you owe?
Shane: (smiling) I have Lots!
Shane: Ok, I will see in 30 mins maybe we can you know…
Paige: What, Play! (Looking at her self in the mirror)
Shane: maybe, you should wear something sexy …I’m around all these hot women all day, it gets me worked up sometimes you know
Paige: (laughing) you better watch that, Im the only you have to be worked up for, I’ll see you in 30.Love you
Shane: (paused)
Paige: Shane
Shane: Huh (fluffing up her customer’s hair)
Paige: (disappointed) you can’t say, it can you
Shane: Say, What Paige
Paige: That you Love Me
Shane: Not now Paige, I have to get back to work.

Paige hung up the phone in disbelief. She realized that she might never hear those words from Shane ever.
Shane couldn’t believe what Paige had said to her on the phone. Shane realized a while ago she could never love anyone again, especially the way she loved her Carmen. Carmen was the only one she let into her heart and she herself could not forgive herself for what she did to her. Shane shook her thoughts away and focused on her client.
