Carmen stood staring out her window
Carmen um Ive never done this before but I think Im supposed to get an answer? Shane touched her arm gently and Carmen turned to face her.
Shane, do you know what youre asking me?
I believe I said would you marry me and then um popped out a ring, what you wanted me on one knee? I mean I can do one knee if you want.

Carmen smiled Shane it was only 3 days ago you were with some else. Weve never been in a relationship, weve never been on a date and all of a sudden you want to get married?
I wouldnt say all of a sudden… Shane sat back down
Carmen, I know this probably feels random, or something, but I think, I know that we belong together. Just you and me, no one else.

Carmen looked at Shane. Never before had she said anything like that, maybe she was really for real?
Shane stood up and put her hands on Carmens shoulders

You are special, youre precious to me, I know I ***** up, I know I dont show it, but you, you are really something else, and if I let you go Ill be loosing out on my once shot at having a soul mate.
Carmen giggled
Shane, you dont believe in soul mates, you believe in ***** buddies.
Shane looked at her annoyed

Carmen you have a favourite record right?
Carmen looked confused but agreed Yeah, I guess I do. Shane nodded

And you play that record as often as possible, but you still play other records, cause youre afraid of overplaying a record and getting bored of it right? Youre afraid of it losing its magic. But then one day you finally realise that you dont need to play any other record because you have the best record in the world and you could put it on repeat and it would never become any less special, so you chuck all your other records out and youre ready to spend your night, with the same record, playing over again and again.

Carmen looked at Shane, this was not the first time shed tried to compare girls to records, thinking that Carmen only understood things when they were explained in a DJ way. It was cute.
