Bette was already there when I got out of the hospital. I got into a car and sighed heavily.

Bette: “Was it that bad?”

Shane: “Nah…it was okay, I guess. But I can’t wait to be able to walk normally again.”

Bette: “Don’t worry, Shane. Just take this seriously and in a few weeks you’ll be able to do whatever you want.”

Shane: “Yeah…Wow, you got the roses.”

Bette: “Yeah, they’re beautiful, aren’t they? Too bad we have to kill them.”

Shane: “Yeah, but Carmen will love it.”

Bette: “I bet she will.”

Carmen’s POV

After spending two hours with Alice in a sex shop where she tought me how the toys were used I decided to buy handcuffs and a strap-on. The latter was because of Alice, she practically forced me to take it. I found it rather embarassing but I have to admit that it turned me on imagining Shane using it on me.

I arrived at Shane’s house and saw that she must be at home since the lights were on. I hoped that Shane was in the bathroom taking a shower so that I could hide the sex toys in the closet, so I tried not to make any noise when I came into the house. To my surprise I smelled cheese and I could hear Shane swearing in the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen and saw Shane sucking on her finger which she must have burned. The stove was open and I could see a noddle soufflé. I put one and one together and realized that Shane made something to eat and burned herself trying to take it out of the stove. I smiled brightly and when she saw me she tried to hide the food.

Shane: “Carmen! You’re already back? I thought we’d meet at the Planet?”

Carmen: “Yeah, I…uh wanted to check on you. What is this?”

Shane: “I…well…okay I wanted to surprise you with this. I made a noodle soufflé! Okay, Bette helped me, but still…I did it.”

She grinned proudly. How sweet could she be? I walked over to her and put my hand on her cheek looking into her eyes.
