the woman you stayed the night with , but, oh hey, it’s cool because Alfonzo loves his wife . You said you loved me but you lied every time you kissed a woman . I never lied. I loved you and respected you and would never hurt you. But , then I got tired of being lonely and wondering if I were enough to keep you faithful ! ” She held one finger in the air, “Once, I admit I screwed-up. Not with random people, not like some dog in a back alley, I had an affair with Nico ! My friend and someone who’s been there for me when I cried over you, when I thought you were my life and without you I’d die. Nico was there when you weren’t . I didn’ t lie when I made love to him. I cared about him and he cared about me. I didn’t cheat; I played your game, except I wasn’t a master player like you . You can screw around without discretion and not even justify it. You’re a man , it’s expected. A woman makes a choice and does it once…yes…even once, she’s a trick , an adulterer , ostracized and her whore husband in his righteous indignation can ’t forgive her. I got pregnant and you thr ew me away like garbage and move d on to the next soft hole.” She took a step toward him unafraid and tilt her chin like a sergeant eye-balling a private, “Admit it. What irks you love of my life is, it wasn’t a one-night jump-off like the whores you’ve banged, you’re upset because Nico and I made love and we cared about each other and I got pregnant and kept his kids . Isn’t that the truth and what you can’t swallow, you fucking hypocrite ? ”
Alfonzo’s hand twitched forward , but big ass Lou instantly seized it, and put him in a tight bear hug. Crazy Nicky snatched Selange off her feet and swung her around behind him out of harm’s way. The damn woman went too far. His body was a barrier between the irate man and the woman with the sword of a mouth . Didn’t she know she’d slain him already?
Alfonzo was furious and pulling Lou forward, advancing with such rage, Crazy Nicky feared he’d kill the woman where she stood. His hand went out in front of Alfonzo’s chest to halt his progression. Lou had Alfonzo’s arm but the kid was still coming and that wasn’t good. Crazy Nicky’s voice was calm, trying to diffuse the situation. He was an animal trainer confronting a deadly lion. “Alfonzo, hey…simmer down. This is the mother of your kids. You guys loved each other once and it’s obvious you’re both hurtin ’ but you can’t start hurtin ’ each other. Think about Allie and Sal . Stop before it escalates. Don’t let the words cause you to h arm their mother. You gotta ’ walk away…cool down… y’hear me kid? ”
Alfonzo thought about Domingo and what one strike in anger cost him in dignity. He wouldn’t strike his ex- wife. Damn, he wanted to slap the shit out of her for the trash pouring out of her loose mouth, but Nicky wasn’t crazy after-all. The man made a helluva lot of sense. If he touched Selange, he’d kill her. His ang er was too great. His eyes bore into his ex-wife, wondering how the hell they got here and saddened by the fact she believed she wasn’t enough, when she ’d been that and more. “Get her the hell out of here Nicky!” He thrust the glittery purse with the gun inside at the man, “ Take her and my trouble-making cousin home!” He hissed, then shouldered out of Lou’s hold and hurried inside the restaurant. He had to get far away from Selange right now, she was nothing but poison disguised as a n innocent drink.
CHAPTER FOUR
Three hours in a toy store. How the hell can you do that? Nico glanced at his watch then over to his tall son’s jockeying for another chance at sampling the latest video game. Whatever, the heck they were nowadays. There were other boys around the console, probably the same age, but his boys hovered over them like beanstalks. The ir dark complexions and even darker hair caus ed them to stand out
