haven’t returned my calls.” He was so sure of himself. His muscles shined with sweat from dancing.
A part of me wanted to punch him in his arrogant mouth, but I restrained myself. “I’ve been busy.”
“Hello.” My date tried to introduce himself.
“ Baby, I was trying to call you.” He was blatantly ignoring my date.
“ I know.” This was the last thing I wanted. My ex-boyfriend was coming up to me when I was with my new lover. I don’t know why I felt embarrassed.
“ I wanted to say that I broke up with Tiffany.” He grinned at me harder, if that was even possible. “I’m back, baby.”
I didn’t quite understand what he was saying at first. When it finally registered I was struck by a sick stomach and a feeling of revulsion. “Not with me.”
“What do you mean, baby? We were so good together.”
“ Yeah, until you screwed it up.”
“ Excuse me.” William tried to butt in, but was ignored again.
“ It was a mistake, baby.” He was trying to smooth-talk me. The problem was, that unlike all of the other times, it wasn’t working now.
“ What happened did she leave you?” I baited him. I knew what I was doing, but I wanted to wipe that smug smile off his face.
His grin disappeared. “No, baby, I left her for you.” He was trying to back pedal out of the corner he had gotten himself into.
“I don’t want anything to do with you.”
“ Why not, baby? We were so good together. You’ll never meet another guy like me.”
“ Oh God, I hope not.”
“ You’re here alone anyway, let’s dance.” He was still blatantly ignoring my date.
William squeezed around me until he was next to John. He calmly sized him up, looking up and down his body and tapped him on the shoulder. “Excuse me, she’s with me.” He was so calm about this. He didn’t appear to be intimidated or scared of the monster of a man in front of him.
John turned to my new lover. “Doesn’t matter, you won’t last long. You’re kind can’t handle black women.” He reached out and grabbed my arm. “Don’t worry, baby, you’ll be with a real man again.” He told me, with that arrogant grin back on his face.
“ Stop it.” I was trying to fight him. “You bastard! I don’t want to be with you anymore. You’re a useless bastard. Let me go.” I slapped him.
My lover stepped up. Even though John was a head taller and a foot wider than my English date, William was unafraid. “Let her go.” He spoke with an unshakable tone.
“What are you going to do about it, little man?” John sneered and spat as he spoke.
William wiped the spittle from his face. He still didn’t show a lot of emotion. “I will make you let her go. This is your chance to step away from the lady.”
“This bitch ain’t no lady.” John scoffed at him.
An emotion finally crossed my lovers face. What I saw was rage. He had been pushed far enough and was finished with this encounter. His fist balls up and John laughs at him. “You can’t hurt me.”
William didn’t say a word. He reared back and uppercut John. John let go of my arm and stood there in shock looking at my lover. His friends started to close on my lover and knew that this was going to end in a fight.
There was no way that we could stand up to all five of the men. He was more then out numbered.
As we say in America, they would “ kick his ass ”.

“ Apparently I am girlfriend material.”
William
I grabbed William’s arm. He seemed like he wanted to stay and stand up for himself, but then the gravity of the situation dawned on him. We rushed out of the club and I didn’t see my friends. Once we got out of the door I pulled my smart phone out of my purse. “Call Ada.” I told it.
“Hey, girl, how’s it going?” She asked me.
“ Are you guys still in the club?” I asked, slightly breathless from running out of the club.
“ Yeah, what’s up?” She asked.
“ We had to leave.”
“ What, why?” The shock was
