What a Feeling

Chapter Two

“…yes, I understand but you have to understand also that the service is already paid for and if I don’t get my paintings by tomorrow morning then I’m going down there and shoving your excuses down your fucking throat, you ingrate little man!

Suddenly she heard the familiar tune and quickly pressed the button again to settle on that station. She turned the volume higher as a huge smile appeared on her mouth, it wasn’t her choice of music but the song brought back images of the beautiful blonde she hadn’t been able to forget. Unbelievably Bette began to sing along.
