caught Angela sharing another man’s bed. No, I couldn’t have Topaz moving on with a possible marriage material type guy.
     
    I pulled into a park. I could see Topaz and this guy sitting at a table for two near the window. This guy was wearing a fire department t-shirt, sporting blond hair from what I could tell, broad shoulders, broader than mine, and a smile on his face that seemed to be sparking up my woman’s eyes. I didn’t like it at all.
     
    I didn’t stop at the door. I grabbed a chair from a table and carried it over to the table they sat at. I tucked it in the tight space so that my back was now facing the window and blocking their view. Topaz had a shocked look of confusion on her face and this guy, this fire guy, was now looking more like my enemy than before. Blue eyes, why did he have to have blue eyes?
     
    “What are you doing here?” Topaz voice held an audible confused near shriek.
     
    “Checking out the new guy. I’m making sure he’s good enough for you. I’m sure he’s not.” I pointed my words at this new guy. He wasn’t backing down. He wasn’t afraid of what I had to say. In fact, he looked as if he were ready to go to war with me just to prove in some caveman way that he was good enough. Thankfully, my father had trained me in the martial arts so if this guy wanted to go to war caveman style I could do it and win.
     
    “Arashi,” she sighed. “I’m on a date. Go away.”
     
    I leaned back in my chair and picked the menu that was in front of her up from the table. “So how many women have you slept with?” I looked at him to let him know I was talking to him. I hadn’t asked his name because I didn’t care.
     
    “Arashi!” Her voice was low, but that didn’t stop the emphasis she placed on my name. That didn’t stop me from my questioning either.
     
    “Are you a man whore? Because this woman deserves better than that.”
     
    “Oh my God,” she mumbled and shook her head.
     
    “It’s really none of your business.”
     
    “I’m making it my business. If you’ll stick your dick in anything with two legs and a vagina you don’t deserve her.”
     
    “Arashi!” She stood up and tossed the cloth napkin that was in her lap onto the table. “Outside,” she glared at me. “Now.”
     
    I didn’t move. “So, how many women have you sunk your dick into?”
     
    “Oh my God. I am so sorry.” She looked at this fire guy. “I am so, so sorry. I’ll be right back.” She took hold of my hand and tugged until I lifted my butt out the chair and then she dragged me, with much effort, outside.
     
    “Go home.”
     
    “I’m just looking out for you, Topaz.”
     
    “Go home!” She stormed away from me and I watched her go. I was going to go back in there, but something made me carry my feet back to my car. Perhaps it was the knowledge that I had thrown a wrench in their afternoon date. Yes, I could see the tension rolling off both of them and I didn’t care. I didn’t want her with him. I wanted her with me.
     
    I got home around the same time my parents arrived back at my place. I wasn’t even there for a full hour when the doorbell started firing off in rapid succession. Hina was the one to get the door and when I saw Topaz angrily stomp into the sitting area I knew all hell was about to break loose.
     
    I stood up. I was ready to defend myself, my actions; but what could I say? Realistically speaking I had been the world’s biggest jerk. And I wasn’t ashamed of it; I wasn’t sorry for it; I wouldn’t apologize for it.
     
    We argued, or more like she did. I remember her last words; “You had no right! Don’t you ever! Ever do that to me again!” And she had turned, left me standing there nearly mentally knocked out from the force of her anger. I was angry, angry at myself, angry for losing her, maybe more angry that my actions had no doubt just drove her into that man’s arms.
     
    I heard her car leave.
     
    “Go after her,” Hina had said.
