“You little slut,” Kirowled “He likes actresses Is that what you are? So actress ants to ar daddy to fund her career?”
“Is that why you married him?” Jessie shot back The whole diner took in an audible breath at the same time, and from one of the counter's barstools a kid who appeared to be in his late teens let out an, “Oh, snap!”
“How dare you?” Ki hard not to spill the soup, her hands tre from the unexpected confrontation “You just keep out of hetto whore I saw the pictures you posted You're trash, and if John had anything to do with you it was purely physical and it ” into Jessie's face
Just like that, Kie In a testaht was to deliver the tls of soup she was holding but the unsettling incident had rattled her so badly shetable
“We didn't order this,” theacross fro to understand and forgive the mix-up
“If that's the chicken soup,” someone called across the diner, “you can take it back I'm sure it's cold by now, and I also don't want Kimberly Harwood's spit in it – even if she is hot”
The diner burst out in laugher, the silence broken by the younghysterically at the cash register Burt, on the other hand, did not find the incident so funny and his face was red with anger Beckoning with his finger for Jessie to follow hih the kitchen and into the alleyway out back
“Burt, this has nothing to do with me,” Jessie said before Burt could even open his mouth “I don't know that woman, and I've never met her husband in my life”
“How can you say that?” Melanie's voice chimed in from behind them Not one to miss out on dra on doorhile holding up her cell phone
“Back off, Melanie,” Jessie snarled on her “This has nothing to do with you”
“Well, it's got everything to do with the rest of the world, girl Do you have any idea how es to your boyfriend on Twitter?” Melanie waved the phone in her hand “You know, you really gotta' be careful about what you tweet These things have a way of getting back to wives and getting them all sorts of pissed”
Jessie stepped towards Melanie and grabbed for her cell, but Melanie quickly pulled it out of her reach
“What is that? Let me see,” Jessie demanded
Melanie held her phone in front of Jessie's face, and Burt leaned in to look at it as well There were streams of tweets, all made by Jessie, directed at the Twitter account of John Harwood In each of them, her tweets told the story of how they met, how Jessie was madly in love with him, and how she couldn't wait for the day he'd leave his wife — just like John had promised
“This is bullshit!” Jessie said, finally grabbing the cell phone out of Melanie's hand “I don't even have a Twitter account!”
“Well, that's your picture, isn't it?” Burt de to make out the photo on the small screen
“It is, but so to find out who!” Jessie could see quite plainly that the picture was indeed of her It was a rather salacious one of her in very scant underwear that left little to the iination It had been taken by an ex-boyfriend two years earlier during a weekend away, and she had no idea how anyone could have gotten hold of it
“Stop ogling this picture, Burt,” Jessie fumed as she handed the phone back to Melanie “This is someone's idea of a sick joke, and whoever it is better take the profile down”
“Whoever it is?” Burt replied incredulously, still visibly upset “Whoever it is better watch out they don't lose their job by doing crazy stuff like this and causing a co again, Jessie You fly off the handle in front of customers, you coot wo you of adultery”
