Alice: “What did you tell her?”

Shane: “ I told her that I’m ok with that.”

Alice: “Are you?”

Shane: “Yeah…I think so.”

Alice: “Does that mean that you’ll get back with Paige?”

Shane: “No…at least not yet. I don’t know. I like her…a lot. But it doesn’t feel right when I’m with her, you know? And I don’t want to hurt her by pretending that I have the same feelings for her.”

Alice: “I can’t wait to see Carmen and you trying not to jump on each other.”

Shane laughs: “Don’t worry, Al. I think we are able to do that. I invited her to have lunch with me, so that I can introduce Shay to her.”

Papi’s limousine

Papi: “So, how was your family dinner?”

Carmen: “ Oh let’s not talk about it. It was just awful.”

Papi giggles: “Was is that awful? I love those family dinners. I like hanging around with my family.”

Carmen: “ I don’t hate them. And I love my family, but sometimes they get on my nerves talking about boring stuff like…Oh my god !”

Carmen sees the huge ad of Shane’s Hugo Boss underwear. She couldn’t believe what her eyes. She likes the picture of Shane, but she didn’t like the fact that everybody could see it.

Papi: “ What? Oh, Vanilla. “

Carmen: “Who?”

Papi: “Vanilla, that’s how I call her.”

Carmen: “Oh, so you know her.”

Papi: “Well, we don’t talk a lot, but yes. I know her. Is she a friend of yours?”

Carmen: “Uh…yes. She is…”

Papi: “Oh look. Here we are.”

Carmen is glad that they arrived. She’s not in the mood to explain her complicated relationship to Shane. They get out of the limo and enter the club.

At the Planet, the next day

Shane and Shay enter the Planet and are greeted by Kit.

Kit: “So what do you guys want to eat?”

Shane: “Uhm…we’d like to order later. We’re waiting for Carmen.”

Kit’s eyebrows raise: “ Really?…That’s good.”

Carmen enters the Planet. She looks around and sees Shane sitting at a table with Kit and a boy, she doesn’t know. Nevertheless he seems familiar to her. She waves hello to them and joins them. Shane gets up and hugs her.
