“I’m coming, I’m coming.” she called as she picked up her pace. She unlocked the deadbolt and opened the door revealing Shane, soaking wet, dripping from head to toe and smiling broadly.

“What the ***** are you doing?” Carmen asked as she pulled Shane into the warmth of the apartment.

“I came to see you.” Shane replied lightly kissing her on the cheek.

“Shane, it’s pouring down out there you gonna catch pneumonia.”

“I’ll be fine.” Shane said casually waving her hand. She turned her attention to the kitchen.

“What smells so good?”

“You’ve got to get out of these.” Carmen replied already pulling the denim jacket Shane was wearing off. Shane lightly tugged on her jacket.

“Not so fast sweetie, I’m not that kind of girl.” Carmen smiled and rolled her eyes still continuing to take the jacket off. Shane let her hold of the fabric go, as she playfully pouted.

“What I don’t get a “You like pretty” or a “Let me take you to dinner.” No it’s just rip my clothes off as fast as you can.”

“Shut up, Shane.” Carmen said as she threw the jacket onto the couch.

“But I don’t want to shut up, Carmen.” Shane said pulling Carmen in closer. She dropped her voice to a whisper, putting her mouth closer to Carmems ear.

“I actually feel like screaming.” Carmen closed her eyes as the warmth of Shanes peppermint scented breath danced over her skin.

“You’re getting me wet, Shane” Carmen whispered, Shane chuckled softly in the other girls ear. “That’s the point, Carmen.” Carmen laughed loudly, pulling away from Shane.

“No, I mean you’re actually getting me wet. Go look in my closet and find something to change into.” Shanes jaw went slack making Carmen laughed even louder.

“I thought you weren’t that kind of girl?” Carmen asked as she headed back into the kitchen.

Now dry and dressed in some of Carmens clothes, Shane came into the kitchen drying her hair off with a towel. She sat across from Carmen who was eating at the table.

“Hungry?” Carmen asked twirling some of the noodles around her fork.

“No. I’m fine. I practically ate everything in the house today.”

“Boredom got to you?” Carmen asked smiling.
