“We all have toWrite!”
“Cheap shot Alice.” Jenny smiled at her antics.
“Guys, I didn’t even bring my lap top.” Carmen began to look around Jenny for any sign of writing devices.

“What’s this?!” Shane looked at Carmen amused who now held a note pad in her hands.
“A NOTEPAD?!” Jenny snatched it back laughing.

“It’s for my grocery list”
“Ok, ok let’s drop it. Enough of the writing jokes.” Shane tried to
come to her friend’s aid. Carmen sat back enjoying the rest of the
laugh with the girls. But when she began to look out her side of the
window she started to think of Freddy and shook her head in
disappointment. In the midst of turning her early morning into *****,
Shane caught her once again and kissed her on the neck.
“Hey you guys, settle down back there. Don’t make me pull over.” Alice commented.

“Hey Alice,” Dana began to whisper again, “maybe you and I can trade
spots with them next time we stop.” Alice looked at Dana in a ***** way
and mentioned that it’d be a good idea. The next time Alice checked her
rear view mirror, she noticed Carmen and Shane peacefully sleeping in
the back and decided to quiet down. It was the first time she had seen
Shane like this, so caught up in someone, so in love. And something
about that made her feel completely happy for Shane. She trusted Carmen
and knew that it was almost impossible to break what they had.

After the rest stop that had just passed, the
passengers rearranged seats. Carmen was now in the front driving with
Shane, Jenny in the middle once again, and Dana and Alice already
making out in the back seat. Carmen turned to take a quick glance then
looked at Shane who was driving.
“Doesn’t this feel like a road trip when you were younger?”
“ha-ha, yah your right.” Shane completely agreed with Carmen. It
was a while since Shane had a free feeling but she admitted to herself
it was only because Carmen was such an important part of her life. She
took a quick glimpse. Carmen noticed it and looked back.
“What’s up?”
“Nothing.”
“It’s always nothing with you.” She then mentioned something in
Spanish that only she could understand but Shane took the hint that she
was sick of hearing the same answer. So she built up enough courage to
look the Latina in the eye and tell her that she loved her. It was
spontaneous but completely overwhelming for Carmen.
“I love you too.” She gentle brushed the side of Shane’s face. Shane
put her hand on her leg and gently massaged it back and forth. Carmen
looked at her girlfriend a second time. This time with more intensity.
It was obvious that they wanted each other from that moment on but it
was difficult because Shane was driving the rest of the way. Jenny was
listening to Carmen’s ipod so Shane sparked some sexual conversation.
“So what do you wanna do when we get there?” Shane’s hand continued to go higher up Carmen’s leg.
“Hmm…” Carmen put in some thought but was only giving Shane a
hard time. They both knew what Shane’s intentions were with the
question.

“Ew, ok Dana, get off I feel claustrophobic.” Alice got up from lying down.
“I guess we’ll just have to wait till we get there.” Carmen mentioned.
