Shane was by now losing all her patience. Carmen had been pushing her away the past couple of days, she didn’t know why, but it was very frustrating and she might do the unthinkable anytime.

She looked deep into Carmen’s tired brown eyes, searching for the reasons behind all the tension. When she couldn’t find any, she grimly said, ” I just thought I’ll treat you. Would you like me to go instead?”

Carmen looked defiantly at Shane.

The corner of Shane’s mouth twitched a little and she balled her hands. Not wanting the tension to escalate further, Shane stood up and turned towards the door.

‘What have I done!’ Carmen hung her head in shame, she knew Shane was being loving but she couldn’t stop herself from being a ***** and venting her anger. ‘I’m gonna lose her!’

Terrified at the thought, Carmen called out to her love before she made it to the door, before it was too late.

“Shane! Don’t go.” Carmen started tearing, she dropped her head back to the tub, not daring to face her girlfriend.

Shane had every reason to be angry and if she walked out, Carmen knew it was all her fault.

But Shane didn’t go, she paused at the door and contemplated her next move. In the end, love triumphed above all and she walked back to the tub.

She ran her fingers softly across Carmen’s cheeks to wipe away the tears. Grateful, Carmen pulled Shane in for a hug.

They held on for a long time, Shane’s shirt soaked up the water from the tub and her collar got wet with Carmen’s tears.

Shane pulled away gently and without words passing between them, Carmen helped her out of her clothes and she climbed into the tub behind Carmen.

Shane lathered the sponge and gently scrubbed her girlfriend’s back before pulling her back to lay on her chest while she ran the sponge across the front of Carmen’s body.

Carmen closed her eyes and relaxed as the strokes on her body created a rhythm that eased the tension in her veins away.

Feeling contentment, Carmen let out a little purr and smiled, probably one of the first genuine smile that day.
