Don't Touch Her

"Don't worry baby... it won't happen again. They will not touch you.." ————————————————————————"CARLOS! HEY!"

"Ohh.. look.. Mr. Big shot cop. What's up, Torres?"

"You think you're fucking funny?!" Dante snapped as he approach the large man. "You think you can fucking threaten my girl?!"

"I don't know what you're talking about.."

"You're fucking sick. I already told you, she is OFF LIMITS. You got beef? It's with ME, never her. If I find out you even LOOK at her again, the LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS will be the Chicago Police Department.."

"Whoa.. Dante, I thought we were cool bro."

"No.. we haven't ran together since I was a teenager, and that was... you know what that was for. And I've been out of the game for 15 years! We live near each other, we ain't 'good' for any other reason. And we never will be again if you keep threatening my girl!"

"I didn't threaten that fine ass white girl, homie. Just told her what was up... we know she looks good on her bac...." Before Carlos could finish his sentence, Dante was in his face.

"Watch your mouth! If you ever even speak to her again, and I hear about it.... Like I said before," Dante stepped closer to Carlos. "The Chicago PD will be the LEAST of your worries."

"Alright man... chill.."

"I'm deadass, homie. Don't touch her, don't look at her, and we won't have an issue."

"Baby?"

"Hey Dante! I'm back here!"

"Damn... you look good..." Dante smiled as he approached Amelia in the kitchen.

Amelia giggled, "awh thanks baby! Where'd you run off to this morning?"

"Back to the old neighborhood.."

"Oh. How come?!"

"Went to talk to Carlos and his crew.."

"Oh shit! Why?!"

"To remind them that they are not to speak to or look at you."

"Don't you think that'll make it worse?!"

"It better fucking not! And if it does, I ask that you please tell me, immediately. Okay?"

"Of course.."

"And also, baby?"

"Yes, my love?" Amelia turned around with a shy smile.

"God, you are so beautiful." Dante smiled as he wrapped her in his arms. "Don't go to my mom's house alone anymore.."

"But what if she needs help?!"

"If she calls in distress, call 911 for her, okay? And if she can wait a little, try to get a hold of me.."

"Okay baby. I will."

"Thank you my love."

"Of course.. like I said, I'm sorry I went in the first place, but I just wanted to make sure she was okay..."

Dante kissed her forehead, "I know baby. And I appreciate that so much! Just try not to do that anymore, please..."

"Okay baby. You got it. You and 911 only.." Amelia smiled.
