Jenny: Thanks, I’ll see you in the morning then.

Jenny opened the door to her room but stopped.

Jenny: Wait Carmen, can you come in here later? I want to talk to you. Like old times.

Carmen hesitated, but it was Jenny, she couldn’t refuse her best friend.

Carmen: Uh, yeah. I’ll come by.

Carmen got Shane into bed and tucked her in.

Shane: I feel like a kid.

Carmen: You’re naughty like one.

Shane: You’re not going to sleep?

Carmen: No, I’ll just be in the other room. Having a little chat with Jenny. I’ll be back, don’t worry.

Shane: Get back soon, cause you know I can’t fall asleep without you.

Carmen: Yes you can.

Shane looked at her with big puppy dog eyes.

Carmen: Fine fine, I’ll be back. You gotta stop doing that, it’s working too well.

Carmen kissed her on the forehead and closed the door quietly. She knocked on Jenny’s.

Jenny: Come in.

Carmen opened the door and found Jenny sitting in her bed. Carmen went over and sat down on the bed too.

Carmen: What’d you want to talk about?

Jenny: No talk, just this.

Jenny flipped over and pinned Carmen down and kissed her.

Carmen: Mmmf!

Her eyes opened wide as she struggled for breath. Her hands clutched the bed sheets. Carmen’s body was reacting to Jenny. Her body yearned for her touch. Jenny let go of Carmen’s hands. She let her hands cup Jenny’s face. Jenny was Carmen’s first love, the way Jenny touched her made her feel great. It had been two years since they’ve broken up since Jenny went to New York to further her writing career. Jenny slipped the straps off of Carmen’s shoulder. Jenny kissed her collar bone and then stopped right above her heart.

Jenny: I missed you. I missed holding onto you. I have so many sleepless nights without you.

Carmen’s eyes snapped open. She nearly threw Jenny off the bed. Carmen covered up with the covers. The silence overcame the room. Jenny it up a cigarette.

Carmen: You and me… That just never happened…

Jenny: You still love me.

Carmen: No, that was a mistake. All just a misunderstanding. I love Shane.
