Carmen: “I know you didn’t kill my cousin, Shane! But you did in in the dream. Actually it was like Romeo and Juliet. I was Juliet and you were Romeo…and our families hated each other and they didn’t knew that we were together and then you had a fight with Carlos and he killed Alice and then you shot him. We’ve spent the night together and then…Shane, you fell into this pool and you looked like you were dead.”

She shaked while she told be about her nightmare. I took her into my arms and patted her bag to reassure her.

Shane: “Hey…it was just a bad dream…Carlos is not Tybalt, Alice is not Mercution, I am not Romeo and you are not Juliet, okay? You look so much better than Claire Danes.”

Carmen: “Really?”

Shane: “Yeah, of course. Nodody looks better than you. Okay maybe Jessica Alba, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Vanessa Hudgens, Heidi Klum and Scarlett Johansson…Ouch!”

She slapped me on my arm pretending to be insulted to death, which made me laugh.

Shane: “I am kidding, babe. You are the most sexy and beautiful woman on this Planet. If I wanted to have them I wouldn’t be laying here with you…Ouch”

I got another one.

Carmen: “You are damn cocky, Shane McCutcheon.”

I grinned at her stealing a little kiss.

Shane: “That’s one of the reasons why you love me, right?”

Carmen didn’t say anything but just shook her head smiling. That was a sufficient answer for me.

Shane: “I told you, we should have watched Pulp Fiction. You were the one who insisted on watching Romeo and Juliet.”

Carmen: “Because Baz Luhrmann’s version of Romeo and Juliet is just perfect. The music, the way he uses the camera, everything!!”

Shane: “Okay I have to admit, Mr Luhrmann did a great movie.”

Carmen: “Thank you.”

I grinned at her laying down on the bed pulling her onto me.

Shane: “I love you…”

Carmen: “I love you, too babe…”

She was laying in between my legs with her head on my shoulder and her arm on my stomach, enjoying the silent moment.

Carmen: “Shane?”

Shane: “Yeah?”

Carmen: “I know it was just a dream, but it concerns me. I think it’s time for us to talk to my mom.”

I didn’t say anything, so she lifted her head to look at me concerned. I was afraid that the day would come when I had to meet Carmen’s family, especially her mother again to apologize. Of course I thought about it several times, but still I am aware of the fact that I’ve betrayed her trust. After Carmen accepted my proposal I talked to Mercedes and asked for her permission. She told me that she trusted me that I would never break her daughter’s heart. I failed.

Carmen: “Baby, are you okay?”

Shane: “What? Yeah…yeah I’m okay.”

Carmen: “So what do you think about talking to my mom about us?”

Shane: “Yeah…we should do it.”

She smiled at me giving me a kiss on my forehead.

Carmen: “Thank you…”

Sooo…I reaaaaally love Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet !! As you may have realized I’ve changed the scenes and the dialogue a bit. And I simplified the Elizabethan English. I have a lot of respect for Shakespeare and contemplated a lot before deciding to write it down. I really hope that you like the result. Leave comments and tell me what you think about it ^^

P.S: Hey catseye, so was my first sex scene that dirty? Or are you referring to the sex toys? Haha… Cause, when you are reading this you know that I didn’t write a scene including them. So I hope I still have my clean reputation =p
