Shane was in bed, catching up on some of her sleep. Carmen was sitting on the floor in front of the bed, going through her records. She wrote a few songs on a paper now and then, not really making a playlist but just writing some down in case she would forget them. She glanced over at the bed and smiled at the sight of Shane, who was sleeping on her stomach in her white briefs en wifebeater. She always slept on her stomach, except when she was holding Carmen. Carmen stopped herself from staring at her, it felt like she was intriguing but she just loved the little facts about Shane that she had gotten to know in the time they had spent together. Each detail she’d got to know about her was a gift to Carmen, which she cherished in her heart. And there was yet so much to be found out..

She got out of her daze when someone knocked on the bedroomdoor. ‘Hey, lovebirdies?!’ Jenny said loudly. Carmen quickly got up from the floor and went over to open the door. ‘Hey,’ Carmen whispered. ‘Oh, I’m sorry. Is she sleeping?’ Jenny asked, her eyes big, as she pointed to Shane. Carmen nodded and gestured for Jenny to come in. ‘I was wondering if you guys want to order some takeout or I can cook..’ Jenny said, trying to keep her voice down. ‘Oh, I can help you! Lemme just finish this okay, I’ll be in the kitchen to help you in a sec,’ Carmen said. ‘Okay, thank you Carmen,’ Jenny said politely and she smiled at Shane and then back at her. ‘I was right, you guys really are good together,’ she said and she left the room. Carmen chuckled softly and started to put her records back in her bag. When she was finished she gathered her other stuff around Shane’s room. She looked around the room for her jacket and found it next to Shane on the sheets. She grabbed it and put it in her bag as well. When she was done she knelt down by the bed and looked at Shane’s face. She leaned over and kissed her shoulder softly. ‘God, I can’t believe I will be leaving in three days,’ she thought and only the thought of it made her feel miserable. She hoped Shane would be allright without her. Not that she felt like Shane couldn’t manage on her own, because she knew Shane was strong and had been a loner for so long, but she also knew that Shane would miss her, just as much she herself would miss Shane. She stood up and left the room, to go help Jenny in the kitchen.
