"Yeah I’ll go with you" Shane offered. "I’ll be back okay" Carmen knodded as she watched Shane walk away, she glanced around looking for Kevyn and Alice. It seemed that they had disappeared also, Carmen smiled at the dirty thought that ran through her mind.

"Hello Ms Morales" Carmen thought she was hearing things when she heard the familiar voice but felt all the realness from the touch of the warm hand gliding across her neck. Carmen closed her eyes in attempt to savour that familiar touch and that same feeling she got everytime Papi touched her like that. "I missed you mamacita" Papi began to feel wanted so she got bolder with her touching.

"Stop" Carmen said just as Papi’s hand began to travel further south and her nature began to rise. She didn’t know that Papi would still have that effect on her and Carmen had been sure that those feelings she’d had before were gone. But now at this very moment she was doubting everything, even her previous reaction to her long lost lover’s touch.

"Wanna go back to the party" Kevyn offered as they walked casually along the sidewalk.

"Nah…I’m not in much of a party mood" Alice answered, "I only went to support my…Dana" she didn’t know what to make of their relationship after everything that had happened. "Besides I want to know about the mysterious and illusive Kevyn" Alice joked as she elbowed Kevyn.

"Why didn’t you just look me up on Our Chart" Kevyn replied slyly as they continued to walk down the street.

"I did and you’re not on it" Alice said feeling ashamed for her Nancy Drew ways, "aw come on just spill the beans already…".

"Well I’m a graduate student at CU, 24, no kids, single, one brother. I’m a dancer…I’m really not good at this bio thing. I mean once you get to know me, I’m like an open book" Kevyn glanced over at Alice who knodded in agreement.

"Okay" Alice stated.

"So is Dana like your ex girlfriend…" Kevyn blurted out, not knowing whether she was treading in dangerous territory or not but she could sense there was something going on.

"How did you…" Alice’s cellphone rang interrupting the what Alice was about to say. "Hey Shane…yeah she was really drunk…no don’t worry about it Kevyn and I took her home…she’s right here…no we’re just talking…what kind of girl do you think I am…okay don’t answer that…bye" Alice ended the call and turned to Kevyn.

"I’m sorry about before…it’s just…well let’s just change the subject" And they wandered about the streets of LA…just talking.

"Yeah like why you didn’t tell me you knew Papi" Kevyn sighed because she knew that this would come up.

"Long story…" she drifted off.

"You don’t want me to stop do you" Papi whispered and Carmen was about to succumb to her desires.

"Hey baby…Bette was drunk so Alice and Kevyn to her home" Just like clockwork Shane was there to keep Carmen from making a big mistake. She looked over at Carmen and then at Papi wondering just who she might be…a friend she thought.

"Uh baby this is…" Carmen began nervously, her voice quivering just a little.

"Papi" She began mentally comparing herself to Shane, thinking that she was the better choice for Carmen, "I’m an old friend of Carmen’s".

"We went to high school together" Carmen gulped, swallowing her because of the dryness in her throat.

"Yeah we go way way back" Papi eyed Carmen seductively and she turned away from the heat radiating between them, "I’ll be seeing you around Carmen". Papi touched Carmen’s arm, she shivered from the touch as she watched Papi get lost in the crowd. Carmen thought about what Papi said, she wasn’t at all opposed to seeing Papi again.
