I wrote a new scene last night, and though it is a tiny piece of the book, I wanted to share it with all of you, especially since readership has gone up by about 400% within the past week! So, here it is:
Sneak Peak Scene #402
Bailey clocked in to work at 9:01am. She had woke up that morning with terrible pain, chills, and sweat soaking the collar of her shirt.
"Hey Trinity, how's it been so far?" She asked, hoping for an easy day at work.
Trinity rolled her eyes. "Same ol', same ol'", she replied, a disgusted look on her face.
"Damn, I can't wait to get a better job. Has Thomas been in yet?" Bailey hoped he wouldn't be there at all today.
"He's at table 7 bitching about his coffee being too hot and his food being too cold. He's all yours, girl", Trinity smirked.
Bailey did a mental eye roll. He must be out of pills. She sauntered over to his table, where he was sitting with his ever-present sidekick Chris, talking about motorcycles and strippers.
"How's your meal today, guys?" Bailey asked in her best waitress voice.
"I'll have one of you to go." Replied Thomas.
"Babe, you know I have to work today. I can't take off. We're already short one girl." Bailey knew the whole mood was about to change.
"Fuck this place!"
"This place pays me money so I can give it to you!" Bailey felt a rush of heat from her toes to her head. She slammed down the check on the solid oak dining table. "I think you should leave now." She walked away, and after a few seconds, she was smiling from ear to ear because this was the first time she'd ever got the last word when it came to him.
Within five minutes, Tom and Chris were gone, leaving empty beer bottles and shot glasses covering the entire tabletop. Whatever, Bailey thought to herself. I'm just glad hes gone. For now.
It never failed that Bailey would come home from a long day's work, only to find Tom in his boxer shorts sitting on her couch watching "Steve Wilkos" with a tall can of Bud Light in his hand.
