Shane’s POV

It was 7 a.m now and we were sitting here for 2 hours now. I looked over to Carmen who smiled at me happily. She leaned forward and kissed me softly. She pulled back only a few inches so that the gap between us was so small that I could still feel her breath. This time I leaned forward to her and gave her a kiss. It was impossible for me to resist. It was like holding up to fingers vis-à-vis and trying to avoid that the fingers close the gap. I really don’t know how to explain why it seems to be impossible, but it is. Well at least I can explain why I can’t resist Carmen.

Carmen: “It’s not that I don’t like to spend time with you…”

Shane: “But?”

I looked at her with my puppy dog eyes because I knew that they always made her melt.

Carmen: “Aww, come on, babe. Don’t look at me like that.”

Shane: “What? I’m not doing anything.”

I continued to look at her like a puppy that just has been kicked. To defend herself she put her hands on her eyes so that my gaze couldn’t influence her anymore, which made me chuckle. Suddenly she gave me a severe look which muted me immediately.

Carmen: “Shane, baby, you have an appointement in 45 minutes, you should get dressed and I’ll make you some pancakes, okay?”

Shane: “I just had breakfast.”

Carmen: “That was two hours ago. Come on, you need to eat something. You can’t go to the physiotherapy with nothing in your stomach.”

Shane: “I just ate a bowl of cereals and fruits.”

This time she was the one giving me a pitiful pleading look.

Shane: “Hey! You’re using my tactic!”

Carmen: “Does it work?”

I looked at her again and had to admit that my own tactic works pretty well on me, too. You just can’t resist you lover’s pleading gaze.

Shane: “It worked.”

She grinned and gave me a quick kiss before she stood up and helped me up.
