Carlos and I have been dating for 3 weeks now, and it was all going good until today when one of my skips tried to shot me. So of course when Tank told Carlos, he freaked out. It's not like it hasn't happened before. I know that he got upset with it in the past, but just because we are dating, doesn't mean that it's going to stop.
We are in his apartment fighting about what happened. Then he goes and says that he wants to keep me locked up in here until he catches the guy. Me being me, told him that I wont go for that. I mean come on, when have I ever just agreed to stay put and let the men take care of it. Never that's right. That's not who I am, and I thought he knew that better than anyone.
"Well if you don't like it, you could always go back to Joe" I step back feeling like I've just been slapped in the face. I can tell that Carlos is regretting what he just said, but it's to late for him to take it back now.
"Babe, I didn't…"
"I don't want to hear it batman. I cant believe you just said that" I shake my head on the verge of tears, I wont let him see me cry. I don't want to deal with this right now.
"I've got a skip to catch, so I'll see you later" I start to walk out of the apartment and call back over my shoulder "maybe"
Since the skip did try to kill me, I'm not stupid enough to go after him again, at least not alone. So I call my new best friend Jer. We have gotten really close these past few weeks.
"What's up Angel. I heard about your close call today. Are you ok" of course he heard about it, who hasn't. Sometimes I hate my life.
"I'm fine" I hear him sigh before he speaks again
"don't lie to me, I can tell something is wrong. Why do you sound like you're about to cry if you're fine" he knows me to well
"Just something that happened with Ranger" I couldn't stop my tears from spilling over now
"Uh-oh, it cant be good, if you're calling him Ranger. Do you want to talk about what happened. I can be at your place in ten, and I'll bring Pino's" I smile at that. For some reason I can always talk to him, even when I cant talk to Lula or Connie.
"Ya, that sounds great, I'll see you soon"
"ok Angel, see you in ten"
