Shane’s POV

When I opened my eyes I immediately looked for Carmen. She was still asleep like an angel. The most beautiful ever. Today was my lucky day. Finally after 7 weeks I was going to get rid of the plaster. I had an appointment at the hospital at 10 a.m. I looked at the watch and saw that it was only 7a.m. I tried to fall asleep again but couldn’t so I got up trying not to wake Carmen up. It seems like nobody was awake so I decided to surprise my roommates by preparing a breakfast for them. Jenny was the first to wake up. She was surprised to see me awake and a big breakfast at the table.

“Good morning. Is that for Carmen?”

“Morning. It’s for Max, Carmen and you.”

“Wow. Are we celebrating something?”

“Kind of. I’ll get rid of my best friend today. My plaster.”

“Oh yeah, right. Do you want me to give you a ride to the hospital?”

“No thanks. Carmen will come with me.”

“So…everything is alright between you two?”

“Yeah….I think so…”

Jenny grinned patting me. We were joined by Max who had his notebook under his arm, ready for work.

“Morning. I prepared a breakfast for all of us. I hope you’ll stay with us.”

“You prepared breakfast? When get up? 5a.m.?”

“Hahaa, very funny. You know very well that I’m a pro now. I bet I’m still faster than you.”

“Okay, okay. I have to admit you’re doing well. Where’s Carmen?”

“Here. Shane, you could have waken me up.”

“Well if I did so it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore.”

“You did this on your own?”

“Yeah.”

Carmen came over and gave me a little kiss smiling. I smiled at her and kissed her back until Max cleared his throat.

“Ah yeah right. Uh… Well…those last 7 weeks were not easy for me, but I know that they were not easy for you as well. Because of my little handycap I was often in a bad mood and you had to bear those moods. Well and without you I guess I would never have been able to get out of the house, so I just wanted thank you guys for supporting me during those weeks and celebrate the liberation of my food today. Cheers!”
