Carmen’s POV

I am smiling down at my engagement ring, it’s a beautiful round classic style diamond ring.  Simple yet elegant.  I cannot believe that I am engaged, and above all, to my best friend whom I am going to share the rest of my life with.  Being with him is comfortable, my mum once told me that it is this kind of love that will last forever, passion always dies, but love will survive.

“You know, I am so jealous of you!” My best friend, Jenny says.

“I am just lucky.”  I say modestly, thinking that she doesn’t know my biggest problem. 

“You really are, Steve is handsome, successful and adores you to death.” Jenny says envily.

I decided not to tell her about my reservations about Steve, not wanting her to think that I am either an ungrateful bitch or a show-off bitch moaning about how my perfect life is not so prefect.

“Where is the hair dresser?  Isn’t she supposed to be here 10 minutes ago?”  I ask Jenny.

She looks at her watch and says, “I will take care of it.  Don’t worry, you have plenty of time to prepare for the engagement party.” 

She turns to make a phone call. 

“Good and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”  Jenny asks.

“Bad.”

“Your hairdresser crashed her car.  She is in hospital right now!”

“What’s the good news?” I try to stay optimistic despite the circumstances.

“Her replacement is going be here any minute now.”  Jenny says happily.  I let out a deep breath.

Shane’s POV

“Hi, I am Shane.  Kelly got into a car accident and called me to replace her.” I finally arrived at Morales mansion.

“Oh my God, is she alright?”  This girl introduces as Jenny says, covering her mouth with her hands.

“She will live.  The paramedics wanted her to take a few x-rays to make sure that everything is not broken.”  I smile charmingly.

“Good, Carmen is so worried about her and of course, I am worried about her hair.  Not that I am not worried about Kelly!  This is Carmen.  Carmen, this is Shane.”  Jenny is brushing my arm as she guides me to a beautiful latina.  Jenny is so flirting with me!
