Carmen held her hand, and put one hand behind Sloan neck and massaged it. “Sloan, can we talk” Carmen asked.

    Sloan kept watching the movie ignoring Carmen’s’ request. Carmen sat there waiting for a response, playing with her finger nails. She went to ask again. “Umm”…. Clearing her throat, after 3 seconds she snatched the remote from the table and shut the movie off.

Sloan: why did you do that for? I was watching a movie. She didn’t look at Carmen.

Carmen: I want to talk

Sloan: about what? There is nothing to say, she scratches her eyebrow.

Carmen: something’s bothering you. Grabbing her chin making Sloan look at her

       Sloan shakes her head slightly, “No”, Carmen said. “So you’re telling me there is nothing bothering you”. Carmen replied.

       Sloan looking at Carmen

Carmen: you haven’t said very much to me since I came home. Sloan got up and walk towards the bar leaving Carmen sitting on the couch.

Sloan: Okay. Taking a deep breath, what you want me to say? You run away to your mom’s; but whine up with Shane; and you want to talk about it? I’m confused Carmen; what is this?

Carmen: what is what?

Sloan: I mean this, moving her hand rapidly in between them, “me and you”. Pouring a shot of tequila into a glass and slamming down the back of her throat.

           Carmen waved her hand “me and you baby, that’s it”

Sloan made a face as the tequila rushed and burned down her throat “How can I be so sure? How can you be so sure? How do I know you want this and not Shane? I don’t know Carmen I think what we did was a mistake; I think it messed everything up between us.

Carmen: why are you so, confused? She got up and walked over to the bar, where Sloan was. “Baby, this is real.” She placed her hands on her cheeks.  How do you think I feel about you and Chloe? You were with her weren’t you?

Sloan: not for a month and a half, she only stayed with me the night of the club. I don’t call her, she texted me but I never answer.
