Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

“As expected of a vixen!” The older woman sneered in disdain.

Natalie, who was in the process of pulling out a chair, paused briefly while her brows furrowed.

Then, she regained her composure and continued her motion. Sitting down in the chair, she smiled and replied, “Thanks for the compliment, Ma’am.”

“When did I compliment you?” A puzzled look appeared on the older woman’s face.

Natalie tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Just now. You said I was a vixen, right? Everyone knows that’s another way of saying someone is incredibly beautiful. It’s no longer meant to be an insult, didn’t you know? You really should keep up with the times, Ma’am. The internet is a wonderful place that one can learn many things from.”

The middle-aged woman scowled. She had obviously understood the hidden insult in Natalie’s words – that she was an old woman who did not even know how to use the internet and keep up with the times.

Infuriated, she slammed her palm down on the table. “Watch your tongue! You should show some respect to your elders! I honestly have no idea why my son is interested in a woman like you!”

“Huh?” was the eloquent response from Natalie. “Your son is interested in me? Ma’am, just who is your son?”

The older woman’s nostrils flared as she pursed her lips. “Sean Thompson. I’m his mother.”
