The cold winter night was peaceful for once. It had been raining for a whole week straight, that had made traffic horribly unbearable for Bette. Tina could always find her way to the studio without the use of the main city streets. She’s crazy, Bette doesn’t really know how she figured it out. The night was relatively quiet, at last. She could actually hear the sounds around them. The soft chirping of the crickets outside. The sounds of cars driving by and alrms going off in the city below. The water running in the shower of where Tina was cleaning off the stress of a long chilly day.

Bette sighed contentedly at the peace around her and took out her book. The book was called, “My Sweet Audrina” by V.C. Andrews. It was quite rivoting and it was exceedingly difficult to try to pull her focus away from the enticing book. Every page was more intense than the last and she found herself reading one page after another, desperate to find out what happened to Audrina. Will she get over the trauma of being raped, will she escape the evil of her cousin Vera who is out to destroy her life, will she be able to raise her mentally challenged sister Sylvia after her mother died, will she actually be able to sleep with the man she loves, Arden, without having flashbacks of that horrible day?

See why she can’t put the book down?

Bette didn’t even notice when Tina entered the room, dressed in her jammies, fresh out of the shower. That’s why when she spoke, the book almost flew out of her hands. She giggled at Bette’s reaction and repeated, “wanna watch a movie?”

“This is better than a movie!” Bette said waving the book at her.

She rolled her eyes, “Bette, you’ve read it four times!”

“And everytime I read it, it’s like I never read it before,” Bette grinned.

“What movie do you wanna watch?” Tina said waving her hand dismissively.

“Hey, you should read this,” Bette said handing her the book.

She looked at the cover then turned it around to read the brief summary on the back cover. “Hmm, sounds interesting.”

“Good,” the brunette jumped off the bed with a grin, “let’s watch ’50 First Dates.’”
