It’s the way she knows Jacob is the one next to her without even looking at him, among so many other things, that reminds him he is a lucky man to have Carmen by his side, in spite of all his flaws. And the danger attached to his name. An amused smirk plays at his lips when he hears Carmen’s words wanting to pull her to him right there and then – but if she wanted to delay that, he’d play along. “It’s only for a night. Would it make it better if I told you I’d make it up to you?” He says, taking one strand of her dark hair and tucking it behind her ear, taking in every inch of her profile. 

“Are you having fun? Anyone giving you trouble?”

     Her plan to continue playing hard to get was short lived as she wasted no time finally turning towards her boyfriend before moving in close to wrap her arms around his neck. "Maybe, I'll have to think about it." The brunette shrugged at the latter posed question, not really feeling as if her last encounters too big of a deal. "I wouldn't necessarily call it trouble, just a few wishful thinkers wasting their time, nothing I can't handle." Luckily, kindly rejecting the offers went over well with said patrons and Carmen didn't have to worry about the night turning into an impromptu lesson on how to take no for an answer, courtesy of specific individuals who knew who Carmen was. "And yes, I am having a really good time and I promise it has nothing to do with my free drinks." she laughed. 

"Honestly I still can't believe how it all turned out, it's incredible." The look of fascination never left her features as she took in her surroundings for the nth time that night. Bringing her attention back to Jacob, the woman went silent for a moment as a thought crossed her mind. "So does this mean, you're mine for the rest of the night or do you have, other business to handle..."

It almost felt weird to be out of her scrubs, considering she’d worked the last eight days in a row before she’d been given a night off. She was still learning the protocols of the new hospital she was working at, still learning new doctors and other nurses - while it was all generally the same idea, it was just enough new to have her on her toes. A night off was nice, and her mother had insisted that Ximena actually take a night off and that she would watch Mariposa (I’m well enough to watch my own grandbaby, she’d insisted as she snuggled the sleepy toddler on her lap). She was trying to avoid wild nights out, trying to continue to keep herself reigned in, but it was hard to say no to the event. So, she decided to go, promising herself it would be an early night and that she wouldn’t drink too much. She was outside, struggling with the lighter in her hand, and she sighed when it continued to fail to produce a flame. She looked up, noticing someone else outside of Wonderland, and decided to try: “Hey, do you happen to have a light?” The cigarette between red painted lips bounced slightly as she spoke. “Mine’s dead.”

     Despite having her fair share of nightlife activities, there were still times when Carmen just needed a quick breather, usually finding solace outside for a minute or two. Now wasn't any different, especially with it being opening night, the woman was for sure that the place was quickly reaching its max capacity which essentially was a good thing, just not one Carmen could handle too much of. Checking her phone as she cooled off, her attention was pulled towards the familiar voice beside her, the current sight of Ximena pulled the brunette’s lips into a small smirk. "I might..." she teased as she playfully cut her eyes at the young woman. Rummaging through her purse, she finally handed the silver engraved zippo over once she found it. The lighter had been a gift back when Carmen lived in California but ever since she moved back, she didn't have too much of a use for it. "Hasn’t anyone told you that smoking’s bad for you Nurse Sanchez."

For as long as she could remember, Carmen never failed to put her family first, a trait she learned from her mother ever since they moved to Lancaster. Carmen was only six, her brother a bit older, when their mother left their father and took the two with her back to her hometown in Arizona. Growing up, Carmen never understood her mother’s decision but, she could recall her mother often saying everything she did, she did for her family. As kids, Carmen and her brother were seemingly attached to the hip, often in their own little world, never leaving one without the other by their side, and as they got older and expanded their social circle, their closeness never waned. Although as she got older, Carmen became popular amongst her peers and others. If she wasn’t participating in school activities, she was helping out at her mom’s shop or lending a hand to another one of her family members or a neighbor. However, her brother, she noticed, began to have a sort of fascination with the local mc that had apparently been in town for years.

Their mother had often warned them about the club and Carmen never went without hearing no-so-good rumors about the group but, it never swayed her brother’s interest. This left a bad taste in Carmen’s mouth and it was often the topic of discussion between them that often led to full on arguing. She was only trying to look out for him the way he did for her for so many years but, it often fell upon deaf ears. It all came to a head when after her brother graduated high school, he started spending more and more time outside of town and coming back home late at night and if that wasn’t enough, he never failed to keep where he was and what he was doing a secret. For years, Carmen pushed her brother to tell her the truth but, he never budged and eventually, both her and her mother essentially gave up. Unable to take anymore, Carmen decided to pack up and leave Lancaster. She didn’t know if she’d be gone for good but she had to see if there was something else outside of what she grew to know. And there was; She met back up with her father in California where she met his wife and their children.

During her stay there, she quickly realized why exactly her mother left; Her father was a very influential member of his community and had power that didn’t really sit right with Carmen but, he was still her father in the end. Her visit didn’t turn out to be a permanent one for a few years later, she got a call from her aunt that her mother was sick and she did not hesitate to make her way back home. Upon her arrival, she found out that her brother had become a member of a different mc and from there, tensions between her and her brother were on high and they usually found themselves arguing at every little thing, especially when it came to their mother. It was clear that her leaving and his life choices had become a sore spot for them both but whether her brother liked it or not, she wasn’t going anywhere and whether she liked it or not, it was his decision to make. Thankfully their mother and their relationship soon got better and it was then that Carmen had to make a choice; Leave and risk losing her family again, or stick around no matter how hard things got.

     It was a surreal feeling for Carmen to see the club in it's full glory after seeing it being built from the ground up. She had been there for most of the club's development and finally seeing it open and filled with bodies dancing, drinking, amongst other things, seemed unreal. Anyone who's known Carmen for a while would expect to see her living it up in one of the VIP areas, instead the woman decided to trek throughout the entirety of the club, wanting to take in how different everything looked in the night versus its unfinished state during the day. Seeing all there was to see (on the main level anyhow), Carmen later retreated to the bar where she politely declined what had been the third offer to buy her a drink. Truly only a handful of people knew that the efforts were futile but, she didn't bother to hold it against them. Ready for the next refusal routine, just in case, but the approaching presence was all too familiar to her, one she had been used to for the last several years. A slight grin stretched along her lips as her attention remained on her drink, not yet giving him the satisfaction of facing him quite just yet.

"Y'know, when you first told me about this, you didn't tell me I was going to have to share you all night..."
