Shane! Carmen called. Shane poked her head around the bathroom door. Yeah?

Carmen looked up and smiled innocently, hugging her drawn up knees. Big tub, small girl, Carmen hinted playfully. Oh, Shane chuckled bashfully. She got out of her clothes and lowered herself in the water behind Carmen, pulling Carmen against her front body. Carmen hummed appreciatively. Better? Shane asked, her lips moving against Carmens shoulder as she spoke. She squeezed Carmens biceps gently and pressed a kiss to her shoulder. Much better, Carmen replied and she closed her eyes, enjoying relaxing together with Shane.

Julian and Laura look a lot like you.

They do, dont they?

Yeah. You have a beautiful family.

Carmen grinned.

Do you think they noticed anything?

What do you mean?

Well, I didnt kiss you but we were practically all over each other.

Oh.. well they might have thought it was a little weird, but Laura has absolutely no idea, she wont be like: Oh now I get it, Carmens gay!, no way. For her, thats something that doesnt even exists. She thinks were just friends, who are happy to see each other, Carmen babbled.

And Julian?

Hes just a guy. They dont notice stuff like that.

Youre such a sexist! Shane teased.

Carmen laughed. I was just kidding. I dont know what Julian thinks. And I dont really care right now.

Hmm Shane said and she wrapped her arms tighter around Carmen, her mouth settling on Carmens neck. I love you, she said. Carmen smiled and intertwined her long and slender fingers with her own. She looked at their hands for awhile, the contrast of skincolor was still intriguing to her. She brought Shanes hand to her mouth and kissed her open palm, then she closed her eyes again. Are you tired? Shane asked, smoothing a hand down the length of Carmens arm. Carmen nodded, Im exhausted. Shane kissed her cheek and got out off the tub, grabbing two towels from the cabinet. Carmen rested her head on her drawn up knees while she watched Shane drying herself off. Carmen smiled peacefully when Shane caught her looking. Shane held her hand out to her and gave her some help with lifting up from the bathtub. She grabbed the other towel and wrapped it around Carmen. Carmen chuckled while Shane dried her off, but allowed Shane to take care of her. She really was tired. She could feel her headache coming back again, and couldnt wait to get some sleep. She slid under the covers and smiled sweetly at Shane. Shane tucked her in and kissed her softly, before she stood up. Carmen sighed and closed her eyes. You make me very happy, you know that? she whispered drowsily, sleep already washing over her. Ssht, just sleep, Shane said softly. So happy.. Carmen whispered.
