"We made some muffins and brownies for you, Shane."

"Wow. I think I should end up in hospital more often."

Carmen slapped my arm playfully.

"Don’t you dare."

"Okay I promise that I won’t be back there, too soon. But only if you bake me some muffins and brownies regularly."

"Ha, you got her.", Max said.

"Deal!", Carmen sticking her tongue out at Max.

I laughed and wanted to give Carmen a little kiss but she turned away quickly so that I couldn’t kiss her. I looked at her confused. She acted like nothing happened and started to talk to Alice and Tasha. Alice looked at me suspiciously.

I thought that maybe I understood something wrong. Maybe we were not back together again. But why did she kiss me in the hospital again?

"Shane, what are you thinking about? Come on have a seat. You have to taste the muffins and the brownies."

"What? Ah, yeah. Of course."

The door bell rang and Jenny opened up. Kit, Bette and Jodie joined us. They all gave me a hug and once again I realized how lucky I was having such carring friends.

We were eating, talking and laughing all night long. Finally one by one they left. Carmen still acted strangely. She avoided any contact and hardly talked to me.

Suddenly Alice grabbed my arm at told me to go into my room so we could talk privately. I followed her.

"So…Shaney, tell me. Are you two back together?"

"What?"

"Carmen and you. Are you two dating again?"

"I really…"

Before I could answer Carmen joined us.

"Hey you two! We were looking for you. What are you guys doing in here?"

"Talking. Carmen, you are interrupting a very deep conversation."

"Oh I’m sorry. But the doctor told me that Shane has to go to sleep at 11 p.m every day. She needs her rest now. You can give her a call tomorrow."

Alice furrowed her brows and looked at me to see if Carmen said the truth. Carmen looked at giving me a sign to nod. I didn’t get her behaviour anyway, so I just did what she told me to do. I nodded which made Alice pout. Although she seemed to be pissed she gave me a hug.

"Nighty night, Yoda. Love you."

"Night, Al. I love you, too."

When Alice closed the door I looked at Carmen who was grinning.

"What the hell was that about? And why are you acting so strange?"

"Okay, okay let me explain it to you. Remember when we had our little date and you didn’t want to sleep with me and I left? Well I was really mad and disappointed. I told Alice what happened. She just said that I shouldn’t panic because she was sure that we would get back together within two weeks. When I told her that this would never happen she said that she’d even bet 100 bucks on it. So we had a bet. Believe me I wanted to kiss you during all the evening, but I don’t want Alice to know that she was right."

I just pouted and acted like I was mad at her. She got on the bed next to me and kissed me softly.

"Oh…don’t be mad at me. Come here. I’m going to do whatever you want me to do for the rest of the day, okay?"

"Alright. But that means that we are back together, right?"

"Yes we are…"

She kissed me again and I wanted to open up her jeans but she grabbed my hand to stop me.

"We can’t. You’re not allowed to have sex for two weeks."

"What? Why?"

"The doctor told me that you should avoid things like sport, heavy work and sex because it’s not good for your wound."

I let myself fall on the bed putting the pillow on my head pouting. Carmen laughed and joined me giving me soft kisses. We talked until we finally fell asleep.
Damn that doctor.
