Mercedes’ house

Carmen prepares herself for her date with Papi. Although she doesn’t feel ready to date somebody new, she thinks that it is a good step to move forward. She thinks about what Jenny and Alice told her last night. She doesn’t want to get involved into a relationship like the one she had with Shane before, but she never thought of a relationship with Papi. She just wants to have fun.

The bell rings and she hurries to open the door. Papi greets Carmen with a kiss on the cheek.

Papi: “Hi lady, are you ready to have some fun tonight?”

Carmen grins: “Yes, I am. Let’s go.”

Papi: “Your will is my command.”

They laugh and get into Papi’s limousine.

Jenny, Max and Shane’s house

Shane and Shay are in the living room watching a cartoon when Alice comes in.

Alice: “Hey you two. What are you guys doing?”

Shay: “Shush…We’re watching Sponge Bob.”

Alice looks at Shane with her eyes wide open: “Your little brother just shushed me!”

Shane laughs and gives her a sign to follow her into the kitchen.

Shane: “When he watches Sponge Bob and somebody disturbs him he shushes everybody, so don’t take it personally.”

Alice: “Oh ok…It’s the same with me when I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy.”

Shane: “Exactly!”

Alice giggles: “ So tell me…what’s going on with Carmen and you…and Paige.”

Shane shrugs: “There’s nothing going on with them. Well, Paige told me to clear things up with Carmen. She wants me to talk to her when I know what I want.”

Alice: “And do you know what you want?”

Shane: “Not really…Carmen came to WAX this afternoon…We nearly had sex in the restroom.”

Alice raised her eyebrows: “Oh my fucking god! Details, I want details!”

Shane: “We were kidding around and then I gave her a quick kiss on her lips. I apologized but she started to kiss me. We got into the restroom and suddenly she stopped and told me that she didn’t want to be a random girl I sleep with. She told me that she wants me to be a part of her life…as a friend.”
