. “Are you ready?” Shane yelled at Carmen from her
bedroom. She was busy with herself trying to see if she looked just
right for her girlfriend. She peered out the washroom and told Shane
she needed a couple of more minutes. Shane made her way to the washroom
to do her hair. The both of them stood there looking at themselves in
the mirror, doing themselves up. Shane was concentrated hard on her
hair but was easily distracted by Carmen who hadn’t noticed she had
been looking. Having Carmen like this, getting ready with her, wasn’t
such a bad feeling. Shane actually loved it. She began to get
frustrated with her shirt and turned to an already staring Shane to ask
her to fix it.
“Hey can you fix- what? Is something wrong? Do I have something on me?”
Shane couldn’t help it and took a step closer to Carmen and kissed her,
catching her off guard. A bottle of lip gloss fell from Carmen’s hand
only so she could run her fingers through Shane’s hair. She gently
pushed a willing Carmen against the bathroom wall. One of Carmen’s legs
wrapped around her waist and the other held her up. One of Shane’s
hands wandered down Carmen’s back until she hit her waist. And in the
midst of kissing, holding, caressing, and groping, they stopped.
“We, um, we have to get going. We’re going to be late.” Carmen
protested while Shane stood in front of her, still in the same
position.

“10 minutes. They can wait.”
 ”10 minutes? That’s all it would take for us to do this Shane?”
Carmen let out a smile and got one in return. She slowly kissed
Carmen’s neck, teasing her that it was worth staying. But eventually
Shane stopped.
 ”Fine. We should have done this earlier.” They got their act together and managed to leave the house.

     They walked into the planet with the biggest smiles on their faces.
 ”Hey I’ll grab the drinks, you go find the girls.” Shane insisted
and Carmen just let it go, she’d get her back with a drink later on
that night. Shane made her way to the bar as women glimpsed her way,
with only one question on their minds. Is here with someone? Shane
wasn’t alone, as her girlfriend made her way to the other end, heads
turned and hollered at her.

“Carmen! Over here!” Alice yelled from a corner.
