Shane walked up to Carmens door, holding a single rose. Shane, what the ***** are you doing? Shane thought to herself as Carmen came to the door.
Shane? Carmen smiled, looking at the rose. Ok, Im confused. You told me you dont do relationships. Carmen said, running her fingertips over the rose.
Well, I missed you, Shane looked up, then back down at the rose, I mean, I missed our date last night, and I thought that we could pick that up now. You know, go on with our original plan. Shane wiggled her eyebrows.
Well, the rose defiantly earns you brownie points, Carmen took the rose and inhaled its scent. Ill even forgive you for going off with that bartender last night.
Carmen, Shane paused licking her lips as she walked into Carmens house, I told you, I dont do relationshipslast night was just, me having a good time.
So, you come over here with a rose, just to have a good time? Carmen asked pointedly.
I dont know what this is with you. I just know this, she pulled Carmen into her arms, touching her hips, I can be this close to you, she let her lips linger gently against Carmens, I can let my lips touch yours, just like this. And for some reason, Im going crazy. She opened her eyes, looking straight into Carmens, You make me wild
Maybe youre falling in love? Carmen asked as she kissed Shane softly.

Candace Tina repeated angrily. What the ***** do you think youre doing here?
Im sorryI didnt realize that you were back in Bettes life so soon. Candace said, shuffling her feet on the front porch. Is Bette here? I really want to talk to her.
No, shes not, she went out for a while. And honestly, Candace, thats none of your damn business. You need to leave her alone. You need to stay out of her life. Our life.
I know. Shes been avoiding me, not returning my calls or my emails. But I decided to come by here and give her this. She can do whatever she sees fit to do with them. Candace stopped handed Tina an envelope. Ill leave her alone from now on, if thats what she really wants. Before she turned around to leave, she turned back towards Tina, Im truly sorry about what happened, Tina
No, youre not, Tina whispered. If you were really sorry, it would have never happened.
