Forever yours. Ch6.

Carmen gently knocked on the door. “Coming!” they hear Tina’s voice from inside the house. Tina answers the door, “Hey guys glad you’re here, the rest of the gang is coming, come in.”

They hear some noise from the kitchen, and Bette comes in from the kitchen, “Hey Shane, Carmen.” Giving them both hugs. “How you been?” “Horrible, I think I’m having a Latin food hangover.”

Carmen laughs, “I’m sorry baby, I just want to see you fatten up a bit.” Carmen says, while discretely squeezing Shane’s ass. Carmen and Shane had been like this all day, showing their affection for one another, since Shane’s last words the night before.

Tina and Bette looked at each other, knowing how they were in this part of their relationship, smiling.

They hear another knock on the door, then Alice let’s herself in with the rest of the gang.

“What was the point of knocking?” Bette asks sarcastically.

“Well Porter what happened to, mi casa es tu casa?” Alice says as the rest of the gang gives each other hugs.

“Oh Alice, mi casa is mi casa.” Bette says with a grin, hugging the blonde. Alice rolls her eyes, hugging back her friend. “Okay,” Tina says doing her role as the hostess, “Dinner shall be served in a little, Carmen you mind helping me set the table?”

Carmen follows Tina, into the kitchen. Carmen takes the plates Tina offers her and places them appropriately.

“So, you and Shane, I can tell.” Tina says matter-of-factly.

“Were not sure when, but soon, you and Bette will be first to know.”

“If you or Shane needs any info, on a donor or anything, we’ll let you know.”

“Thanks Tina.” Carmen says to the motherly woman.

They finish up with the table, put the food where it belongs and call over the family.

They all took their seats, Shane next to Carmen, next to Alice, next to Tasha, next to Papi, next to Jenny, next to Max, next to Helena, next to Bette, next to Tina, next to Shane.

They all eat, talking about simple nothings. Dinner goes by quickly, with nothing extraordinary happening except Alice choking on her food, while Tasha urgently hit her back trying to get her to spit it out, but that’s Alice. Until half way through dinner Carmen wants some fun.
