“We’re home.”

Her meditation is broken by Nicole’s voice.  She didn’t realize when the car stopped moving.

“Oh, hey here’s the baby.  I guess today lesson was tough, huh?”  Carmen tries not to show her concern.

 Nicole just smiles at her.  “Yes, it was.  He’s pooped.  I better put him in his cradle and…” she pauses for a second “…and I think you should get ready for what is coming tonight.”  She then gets closer to Carmen.  “You know if you think this is not a good idea…”

“No, I’m fine.” Carmen interrupts.

 “So, do you really feel okay with this?”

Carmen looks back at Nicole and smiles.  “Yes I do now, thanks to you.” she then gives Nicole a quick peck and goes inside the house.

It’s already 7 and Shane is in her room expecting Carmen.  Her future depends on what she’ll say and she knows it.  She paces the room looking at her watch every 5 seconds trying to find the right words to express to Carmen all she’s been keeping inside.  A loud knock on the door startles Shane.  Feeling the same anxiety she was feeling the day she met her mom, Shane opens the door…

One hour later Carmen is standing in front of Shane (who is on the edge of the bed) looking at the floor trying to process everything she just heard.

“I’m sorry.” Shane whispers with sincerity in her eyes.

Carmen, unable to hold her tears anymore, blurts out: “And you waited two years to tell me all this?  You waited for your mother to appear and die to finally have the courage to confront me?!  Huh?  And all the pain you put me through?  Am I supposed to forget it just like that?!  Do you have any idea how I felt?  Did you ever sit and think about it?  I wanted to die Shane!  Do you have any idea how many times I…?

“No I don’t!  I don’t!” Shane yells, interrupting her.  “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”  Shane sobs.  She moves towards Carmen and hugs her.  They start crying out loud.

After some time, Shane realizes that she has Carmen in her arms.  The smell of the Latina’s hair brings back all kinds of memories.  Her skin is so soft that it causes her desire to increase.  She pulls away a little, just enough to look into Carmen’s eyes.  The passion and love reflected there takes her breath away.  She wants nothing more than to kiss Carmen, but before her body follows her thoughts she feels Carmen’s lips on hers.  At first the kiss is tender and soft like they want to feel every moment of it, but rapidly grows passionate.  They devour each other’s mouths till the desire is so unbearable that both start moaning.
