“Hey… What are you thinking ‘bout?” Shane whispered again and she brought her arms closer.

“Nothing… Shane… I was really worried… that you decided not to come tonight.” Carmen said in a small voice as she leaned her head closer into Shane’s cheek.

“Hmm… I just went home to shower. So that I would come and stay here with you…” Shane smiled, though it didn’t quite meet her eyes. The thought of keeping a secret of such importance really didn’t sit well with her.

“Oh.” Carmen turned and brought her arms around Shane, immersing fully into a body fitting hug.

“I was worried too ya know, I got your missed call but when I called back you didn’t answer.” Shane embraced Carmen tighter as if to emphasize her fear of losing her, and Carmen buried her head into the nape of her neck.

“Oh.” Carmen said again, her voice muffled by the fabric of Shane’s blazer. They stayed this way for a long time, almost contented in the comfort of the embrace. Almost, because Shane was trying hard not to think about the full bosom pressed tightly against her. Her hands were spread on Carmen’s upper back, and as if they had a mind of their own, traveled downwards to right above Carmen’s ass.

Shane licked her lips and swallowed deeply, willing her hands to travel back upwards. And Carmen giggled, sensing Shane’s internal turmoil.

“What?” Shane asked in a slightly defensive tone.

“Nothing…” Carmen giggled again as she lifted away to look into Shane’s eyes.

When Shane’s raised an eyebrow, as if to say ‘right……..,’ Carmen chuckled and brought her lips up to Shane’s, letting Shane know that she felt the same way too. She shivered a little as Shane deepened the kiss and shivered a little more as their tongues intertwined.

When they both had to come up for air, Carmen lifted away once again so that she could look at her lover. But as soon as she did, she shivered again, this time it was because of the sudden drop in temperature. She wanted to lean back into Shane’s warm embrace, but Shane felt the shiver and was not about to let her darling catch a cold.

“Let’s go back in, peach.” Shane said as Carmen tried to pull into an embrace again. Carmen murmured a protest, eager to prolong the moment. But as much as Shane would love to, Carmen’s health was of top priority in her list.

“Come on, it’s getting cold and I’m sure the nurses at the ward are panicking because you disappeared.”

Shane pulled away and held Carmen’s hand firmly. She gave Carmen an understanding smile before planting a kiss softly on the back of Carmen’s hand. Then holding it close to her heart, Shane led Carmen back into the building.

Carmen’s pout turned into a soft blissful smile.
