Chapter 3

                Helena took another shot as Shane took a seat at the bar. She rested her hand on the counter and scratched her head. She smiled at Helena and swallowed.

“Umm—are you okay?”

Helena nodded. “Never better,” she went to grab another shot glass, but Shane grabbed it from her.

“I think that’s it for tonight.” Helena sighed, and Shane smiled.

“I haven’t drank t-that much,” her words were slurred, and Shane shook her head.

“You’ve been drinking before we got here—before we even left Alice’s tonight.” Helena rested her hand on her face, and Shane laughed softly.

“How about I took you home?”

“We just got here,” Shane shook her head.

“C’mon, I’m taking you home.”

“What about Papi and her date?” Shane helped Helena up.

“They’ll find a ride home.” They both walked out of the Planet and walked towards Shane’s jeep.

                Shane parked the jeep and got out. She walked around and opened the door for Helena. Helena got out of the jeep, and Shane grabbed her hand. They started to walk up the steps, and Helena moaned.

“How much did I drink?”

“I don’t know, but I think you had enough. You need to sleep.”

Helena shook her head. “I don’t need to sleep.”

“Yes you do,” Shane opened the door and got Helena inside. They walked towards Alice’s apartment door, and Helena sighed. She stood up slowly and reached in her purse.

“Here it is,” she smiled as she held the key in her hand. She put in the keyhole and turned it. The door opened, and Helena grabbed the knob. She licked her lips and flung her hair over her shoulder. “Would you like to come in?”

Shane shook her head and rubbed the back of her neck. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. It’s late, and Alice and Tasha are probably sleeping. You need to go to—,” Helena leaned over and kissed Shane softly. She pulled away, and Shane blinked twice. “I’m sorry, I-I didn’t mean to—,” Shane pulled Helena into a kiss and held her close to her. Helena placed her hands on Shane’s shoulders, and Shane pushed them inside of the apartment. Helena bumped into the wall as Shane kissed her passionately. They began to move down the hallway and bumped into the small table. They smiled as they made their way to the couch. Helena put her hand out as she tried to find the couch. She found the couch and went over it. Shane looked down at Helena as she laughed. Shane walked around the couch and helped Helena up.
