Carmen placed the phone back on the dock. She snuggled next to Shane whose jaw had dropped.

Shane: Why would you do that? I have work tomorrow.

Carmen: I’ll tell Bette to let you off.

Shane: You know who did it, don’t you.

Carmen: Maybe.

Carmen scurried to get under the covers.

Shane grabbed her by the leg and flipped her over and got on top of her.

Shane: Carmen de la Pica Morales, spill it.

Carmen closed her eyes pretending to sleep. Shane tickled her and she laughed rolling around asking for mercy.

Shane: Tell me.

Carmen was giggling and talking at the same time.

Carmen: It was Bette and them, they wanted to see how far you’d get.

Shane: I’m not doing it.

Shane got off of Carmen and laid on her pillow.

Carmen: Why not?

Now it was her turn to get on top of Shane.

Shane: Because it’s stupid.

Carmen: Common, it’ll be fun. I’ll go with you and watch.

Shane: Carmen.

Carmen: Please just once Shane, just this once.

Carmen begged with her puppy dog eyes. Shane ruffled her hair groaning.

Shane; Dammit, fine!

Carmen: Yes!

Carmen could sense Shane’s distress so she took it upon herself to relieve her of any worries. Shane liked it quite a lot savoring the moment. Though the next morning, Carmen pulled her up at 7. She sat there on bed like a rag doll while Carmen dressed her. She walked out the door wearing a pair of black converse, dark vintage blue jeans and a black t-shirt with a menacing eagle on it.

Carmen: Common Shane, we’re going to be late!

Shane was still in mid sleep as Carmen pushed her out the door and into the car. She was more excited than Shane was. They got on set of the photo shoot. Charlie Crews came to greet them, Shane still wasn’t away. She needed her coffee.

Charlie: Carmen! Shane! Nice to see you!

They shook hands while the sleepy Shane was dragged around by Carmen.

Charlie: Today, we’re jut hoping she’d do a shoot with this underwear.
