This week's writing challenge from Five Sentence Fiction ( Lillie McFerrin Writes ) is based upon the prompt: Misunderstanding

What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week Lillie posts one word for inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word.

Save The Last Dance

    "Misunderstanding, my ass," she said as a faint whiff of smoke rose from the end of the barrel. "You could dance with her just fine, but with me you wouldn't even try!" 
    As she opened the door to leave, she met face to face with the woman she despised, the one she saw with her man in that very room just a week before, and was so enraged she yelled, "What the hell do you think you're doing here?"
     "Uh—I'm here to give Mr. Wilson his next dancing lesson. I really hope he's available because he wants to surprise his girlfriend soon—and he's already paid."

Yes, my friends, he has already paid...
