Carmen: "yeah its a small world. but make a note I am definitely coming on Wednesday" I can’t wait to see Shane on a horse. 

 Shane: "Woah guys! Carmen don’t you have cheering thing on Wednesday?"

 Carmen: "No not this wednesday" I lie…and she shrugs. 

 Jordan: " So what are you guys here for?" 

 Carmen: "Grocery shopping"

 Jordan: "Shane and grocery shopping???" Jordan raises an eyebrow…

 Shane: "Woah Jo no need to be too harsh. Carm here decided to cook and I am just assisting.."

 I am kinda getting used to this whole "Carm" thing. 

 Jordan: "Wait Shane, Juan called and said he has your phone…and he was asking if you’re okay!"

 Shane: "Just tell’m I am good and tell’m to hold on to my phone"

 Are they talking about Juan meaning my brother Juan…how does Shane know him…I mean he never brought her up. 

 So we do the shopping and load the stuff in the trunk of the car, and head home when its almost 2…

       Back in the Jaffe’s house:

 I am making arroz con pollo for Shane and she’s just running to and from trying very hard to help me out. I was checking if the rice was done, suddenly I feel Shane’s arm around my waist lifting me up and twirling me in the air. 

 Carmen: "AAAAAW….Shane put me down" I slap her forearm….and she sits me on the stool standing behind me, still her arms around me as she whispers in my ears

 Shane: " You’re working too hard Carm. I feel bad. You care of me and you are making food for me..I didn’t even get started with the english project"  I feel a chill run through my spine. Her lips almost touching my ears. 

  I pull Shane in front of me and cup her face in my hands, and immediately she looks down.

 Carmen: "Shane, now look at me. I see how hard you work for Cherie. I don’t know what’s up with all that and I won’t force you. But what I see is that you are a really good person Shane. And you deserve better." 

 Shane looks at me right int the eyes, probably trying to figure if I meant what I said. And I try my best to say that I do!
