When she got home she found that it was empty, no kids, no Bette or Tina, and definitely No Carmen. So she had the best idea ever, this was just perfect. She grabbed her cell and dialed Alice’s number.

            – Al? –

            – Yeah, what up?-

            – Is Carmen with you? – Oh this was gonna be great.

            – Yes, do you want me to get her on the phone?-

            – No, I need you to hold her back, you have to do something, I don’t know what, but you guys can’t come home now.-

            – What? Why? What the fuck are you doing? –

            – Just trust me Alice, please. Keep everyone away from the house ‘till I call you again.- With that she hung up the phone, and started to think through and figuring out how to make this work.

            As soon as she could she ran to the nearest Flower store she could find, she got tons of white and red roses, and lilies and sunflowers. Then she went to the candy store and bought lots and lots of chocolate in all its shapes and flavors, after that she went over to get some balloons, red and white heart shaped balloons. She knew this wasn’t something she would normally do, so she had the surprise factor down, and besides she knew Carmen would love this. Once she had everything she needed she went back to the house and into the back yard. It was there that she started to get everything settled for Carmen to see. She grabbed one of the bags that was filled with red roses and started to tear the petals away from the rest of the flower and throwing them into the pool, she did this ‘till the pool was filled with rose petals in the top, then she proceed to make a little petal carpet from the backdoor to the table next to the pool, and proceed to sprang a few petals in the table. Then placed some chocolate boxes in the table, all the chocolate boxes looked a bit like a ring case. Other detail she had brought was some floating candles; she placed them in the pool forming some meaningful words. When all the work was done she went and took a quick shower, and then dressed herself up a bit. When everything was set and she was ready she called Alice.
