‘We better go now or..’ Shane murmured. ‘Yeah, or we won’t go at all, right?’ Carmen said, finishing the sentence for her. ‘Right,’ Shane said and she dropped another kiss to Carmen’s lips. ‘Stop teasing then!’ Carmen said out loud and she pushed Shane back onto the couch. While looking in Shane’s eyes she slipped her right and left leg around Shane’s waist. Her face was only inches from Shane’s and she teasingly nuzzled Shane’s nose. ‘You’re awful’ Shane said trying to not look happy about it. But the twinkle in her eyes deceived her. ‘I’m just gonna get my bag,’ Carmen whispered and she got up quickly, but still smiling at Shane. Shane mouthed the word ‘Okay’ at her and winked. Carmen threw her a wink back over her shoulder as she walked out the room.

‘Should I turn right?’ Shane asked peering through the window, her slender body leaned over the steering wheel. Carmen looked confused for a moment and bit her lip. ‘I have no fucking idea,’ she said. Shane chuckled. ‘Well, that’s just great. If we get lost I can totally blame you.’ Carmen turned her face to Shane. ‘Hey that’s so unfair! It was your idea to go to the beach so you’re the one who should know how to drive to it!’ Carmen said half offended half laughing. Shane smiled, shaking her head. She turned right and focused on the road again. ‘It can’t be far anymore.. Ah see! There’s a street sign,’ Carmen said excited, bouncing up and down in her seat. Shane looked amused at her girl for a few seconds. Carmen could be so excited and happy about everything, about the smallest things. The way her bright smile and the sweet sparkle in her eyes could light up every room, it was amazing. Her cuteness and enthusiastic were boundless. It made Shane smile, cause when Carmen had no worries then most of the time she didn’t have them either and it made her feel carefree. In love.

Shane parked the truck just a minute walking from the beach and together they got out. ‘Don’t forget to lock the door,’ Carmen said, poking her tongue out to Shane. Shane chuckled and said: ‘I won’t.’ When Shane had locked the door, Carmen had already began walking. ‘Hey, wait for me!’  Shane yelled after her and she walked quickly up to Carmen. Carmen had already stopped, standing there with her back to Shane, her face to the sea. Shane came to stand next to her and winded an arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer to her. ‘There’s kind of a strong wind,’ Carmen said and she kissed Shane’s cheek. Shane nodded and smiled at her. ‘Come on, shorty,’ she said and she started walking towards the sea, grabbing Carmen by her hand to make her follow. ‘Alright, alright, not so fast!’ Carmen chuckled as she caught up with her.
