leave. “Why don’t you stay and meet my daughter. Dazzy should be here to pick me up any minute now.”
“Oh, okay. I’d love to! Where’s your car?”
‘”Umm…it’s in the shop.” He scoffed.
“Oh, ok.” She smiled.
“Here they are.” He said as he walked toward the car as it pulled up. “Hey Dazzy, I wanted you to meet an old friend of mine, Colbey. Colbey, this is Dazzy, and back there is my little Angel.”
“Hi Dazzy, Nice to meet you. I’ve heard so much about you!” She said bending over looking through the window.
“Have you, now?” Dazzy said with a straight face.
“Aww! Hi Angel! She is absolutely beautiful!” She smiled as she looked in the backseat.
“Thanks.” Dazzy replied curtly. “Anton are you ready to go?”
Anton mouthed “sorry” to her from Dazzy’s rude behavior. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Colbey smiled. “Dazzy, it was nice meeting you.”
“Yeah.” Dazzy answered in a very agitated tone.
Anton was furious as he sat down in the front seat. “What the hell is wrong with you?”
“What’s wrong with me? You bring some little bitch down here to the car, smiling in my face and you have the nerve to ask what’s wrong with me?”
“Dazzy, there was no reason for you to be rude like that. I just wanted her to meet you and Angel. That’s it.”
“Yeah right. What did you mean an ‘old friend’, anyway? What type of friend was she?”
“We dated for a while, yes, but she is just a friend now. Nothing more.”
“You guys dated? For how long?”
“Why is that important? I’m with you, for now .”
Dazzy’s eyes got big. “What the hell do you mean, ‘ for now ?”
“Honestly Dazzy, if you keep on acting the way you do, I don’t know how much longer I’ll be around.” He shook his head as he looked out the window.
“How could you say that to me? You would leave your daughter for some bitch?”
“Whoa.” He said putting his hand up. “I never said I would leave Angel. I said I would leave you.”
Dazzy’s lips tightened with anger as she started to grip the wheel tightly.
“Wow. Silence. That’s first.” He turned and reached in the back seat to give a fretting Angel her pacifier. While he was turned slightly, Dazzy took her fist and slammed it down on his crotch.
“What the fuck is wrong with you!” He said bend over holding himself.
“Don’t you ever speak to me like that again! You will not leave your family for some trick bitch! You got that?”
“I never said…”
“Shut up!” She interrupted screaming at the top of her lungs.
Angel started crying from the commotion.
Anton gathered himself, still in pain, and reached back and held Angel’s hand. “It’s okay, baby.” He looked over at Dazzy staring straight ahead. “You’re crazy, you know that?”
“Don’t you say that to me!” She shouted banging the wheel. “I’m not crazy! You are just trying to put me down so I’ll feel bad and you can leave us! I’m not crazy!”
Anton just looked at her in amazement. Frankly, He was afraid to respond. He looked in the back at Angel sucking her pacifier and holding his finger.
“I have to get us out of this.” He thought to himself.
Chapter 10
Romeo and Krystal arrived back at her house after dropping her friend Reina off at her hotel.
“So, you had a good time, tonight?” Krystal asked digging in her purse for her keys. “Reina is crazy isn’t she?”
“Yeah, she’s something else.”
She unlocked the door and walked inside. “I’m glad you guys hit it off. It’s important to me that the two people I care about the most like one another.” She closed the door behind him once he entered.
“Well, I better get out of here; I have an early meeting in the
