'It's not today its tomorrow I tell you'

'Today'

'Tommorrow'

'I have had enough of you, can you just get lost'

'You get lost'

Billy stuck two fingers in the air and walked in the direction of the nearest bar.

Sally pouted and stuck her chest out, flirting with a passer by, who stopped and looked her up and down, 'you ok love?'

'I am now you are here'

He laughed, began to move on, then paused and turned towards her again, 'Don't I know you from somewhere?'

'You may do, I have been to most places around here' she laughed.

'You want to go for a drink?'

'Oh yes ' in that bar will be just fine'

Billy's face was like thunder as she walked into the bar, leaning on the new bloke, and throwing daggers in his direction as she moved.

'Will vodka do you?'

'Make it a double and you'll see me right' Sally propped up the bar turning her back on Billy, giving the barman a little flirt just to add to the fun. 'So what do they call you?' she asked of the newcomer, gazing at him directly with half open eyes.

'I'm Joe, and you are?' he felt some tension between them, she passed her thigh close to his as he spoke.

'Jezabel, but you get to call me Jez'

He laughed, 'You sure about that?'

'As sure as can be honey, and she leaned in close to his face.

He could smell the alcohol on her breath, the sweet warmth drew him in. He licked his lips in expectation, then pressed his lips against hers, within seconds she was forcing her tongue deep into his mouth, their chests tight together, her legs twisted around his'.

'Fucking Bitch, BASTARD'¦....' Billy tore at Joe and before he saw what was coming Joe was on the floor taking a beating, Billy kicked him hard in the groin, then grabbed hold of the screaming Sally and dragged her out of the bar, pulling the glass out of her hand and smashing it against the floor as he went.

The barman shouted after them but he was too late, they were both running now, and when they slowed down around the block Sally started laughing uncontrollably as Billy creased over himself to be sick.

She patted his back, laughing still, 'Tommorrow I said'
'Ok, Ok you win'.
