“I’ve been good; I got hired as a designer for Fashion week. So here doing business.” Lauren says in a I’m-here-on-serious-business- tone. Lauren was a thin woman, in her early 30’s, with long blonde hair.

“So how have you been?” Lauren says with a smile.

“Amazing! I want you to meet my wife, Shane.” Carmen says finally looking back at Shane who had this strange look on her face.

“Congratulations, I knew you would find the one.” Lauren says with a wink. “Nice to meet you Shane.” Lauren looks over to Shane and smiles a genuine smile.

Shane quickly shakes her hand, “Nice meeting you too Lauren.”

“Well, what are you guys doing here?” Lauren asks, facing Carmen who now has her arm wrapped around Shane’s waist, with her head leaning on Shane’s chest.

“We’re here on our honeymoon; we got married 5 days ago.” Carmen says with a million watt smile.

“Wow, newlyweds huh, you two look like you’ve been married for ages.” Lauren says smiling. “Well, how much longer you staying here for?”

“We have 2 more nights before leaving in the early morning.” Shane says, not wanting to feel left out of the conversation.

“You guys have to come support me at the fashion show. C’mon you guys will have a blast I promise.” Lauren says with puppy eyes. ‘That’s my trick’ Shane thinks to herself.

“Okay, if you insist. It is your big day, and we haven’t seen each other in a long time.” Carmen says trying to remember the last time they saw each other. Drawing a blank, Carmen gives up.

“Okay, where are you staying?”

“The Westin Palace.” Shane says quietly still trying to analyze this woman.

“Okay, I’ll have your name put on the list, a driver sent to you and some clothes,” Lauren says, “This is a fashion show Hun, jeans and a T isn’t going to cut it.”

Carmen rolls her eyes, Lauren could be a bitch, but in a loving way.

Shane, Carmen and Lauren agree on a time and as the two lovers venture back to the hotel, it’s time to get ready.

The same man as before, Marco, drops off the clothes for the women. Shane and Carmen both get into their respective clothes. ‘Thank god Lauren didn’t get Shane a dress’ Carmen thought.
