As Shane looked up the bathroom wasn’t so bright anymore. Candles were standing in front of her and off the counter.

They illuminated the bathroom in a warm shine.

She felt Carmen joining her in the tub.

Carmen embraced Shane from behind and took her hands.

“Relax, baby”, Carmen whispered softly and held her girlfriend close.

Shane leaned back into Carmen and stretched her aching body.

She felt Carmens warm body, she can’t remember the last time she felt so safe.

Carmen felt Shane letting go and stroked gently over her stomach.

Her stomach felt finally warm again.

“Are you feeling better, baby?”, Carmen asked quietly.

Shane was just whispering something that Carmen didnt understand but it told her that Shane was drifting into sleep.

“Okay, I got it. Let’s get you out of the tub”, Carmen smiled with loving eyes down at her tried girl friend.

“Nofive minutes”, Shane mumbled and pressed her head against Carmens chest in protest.

“You’ll be in bed in five minutes”, Carmen replied laughing and helped Shane out of the tube.

She wrapped Shane and herself  in a towel and grabbed a bottle with some fluid out of the cupboard as she left the bathroom with Shane.

She closed the door behind her and leaded Shane to her bed.

“Now let me take a look at your head”, Carmen said and sat down next to Shane.

She put some liquid which was in the bottle at a small cosmetic pad.

“This will burn a little bit”, she considered and laid her other hand in Shanes neck.

Shane jerked a little as Carmen cleaned up her wound.

“That was it”, Carmen said and took a last checking look at Shanes wound but drifted over to her beautiful eyes.

“What?”, Shane asked.

“Nothing.youre just so beautiful”, Carmen answered stunned and stroke with one finger over Shanes lower lip.

Shane leaned closer to her girlfriend and kissed her tenderly. Carmen let out a silent moan as Shanes lips toughed hers.

“I missed this”, Carmen said with a bright smile.

“Yeah?”, Shane asked.

“Yeah and you know this. Now get your ***** under the blanket before I need to defrost you again”, Carmen laughed.

“I wouldn’t mind”, Shane grinned crawled under the blanket.

“So you liked the bath?”, Carmen replied and pressed her naked body against Shanes.

Shane nodded with a thankful look and laid her head down on Carmens chest.

“Where did you go afteryou know?”, Carmen asked and stroke softly Shanes hair out of her face.

“UhhjustI don’t know. I just walked”, Shane answered.

“Im so happy that Kit found you. I would never forgive myself if something had happened to you”, Carmen spoke silently.

“Why? You didnt do anything”, Shane asked and lifted her head to see Carmens face.

“II didnt say a word after this guy told me that”, Carmen spoke guilty and turned her head away from Shane.

“Why didnt you say a word?” , Shane asked and forced Carmen to look at her.

“I don’t know. I just..what he said. First I couldn’t believe it, but as I thought about it.in my mind I just saw you as teenager at the street..giving some old guy a hand job”, Carmen answered sniffing, close to tears.

Shane looked away and sat up.

“Shane, don’t go away again. I didnt care about what you have done in the past. So please don’t hide away from me”, Carmen begged, sat up and laid a hand on Shanes shoulder blade.

“I love you Shane and nothing will ever change this”, she said and embraced Shane from behind.

“I love you, too”, Shane said and turned her head.

Shane was crying silently. Tears flowing down her cheek.

“Baby.come here”, Carmen said worried and took Shane in a deep embrace.

Shane started sobbing uncontrollably. It seemed like she cried for everything bad that had ever happened to her.

Carmen held her and stroked gently over Shanes back to calm her down. She never wanted to let this women go again.
