Part 27

Enzo

I was in the locker room changing when J.C rushed in.

"Yo man, you need to get out here,  quick! Your ole' lady and Natalie are fighting."

"What the fuck?"

I immediately ran out, pulling my shirt on as I rushed out the locker room and into the training room.

I rushed up and saw Erin on top of Natalie, she had a fist full of her hair, and her hands around her neck.

I ran up and yanked Erin off and Natalie began screaming putting her hands around her neck, coughing.

"She's a psycho, Enz. Great choice."

"Shut up!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Well why don't you ask your girlfriend, Natalie!" Erin screamed at me.

Great.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Baby, you don't have to lie. I already told her."

"Shut the fuck up Natalie before I let Erin go."

"She's not my girlfriend, Erin. She never was. Can we talk about this in private?"

"Ha. So just a random girl coming up to me asking me how long I will keep you for, calling you Enz, making eyes at you, that's why you were so distracted earlier."

I ran my hand through my hair and looked around, and saw everyone crowded around, the guys laughing and whispering to one another.

"Alright this shit's over, go mind your business elsewhere."

Everyone laughed and nodded, walking off.

"Natalie, I don't know what game you are playing, but knock it off, this shit's not funny. Now Erin and I are together, we're getting married, we have a child."

"Yeah, by another man."

I let go of Erin, and started stalking towards Natalie, full of anger.

I got up in her face, looking down at her.

"Now look here, don't come near us, don't ever talk to Erin again. Don't come near me. You are a miserable bitch. We were never together, and never will be. As for my daughter, she's mine. You speak about my child again and you will fucking regret it."

I spit off to the side, backing up, grabbed Erin's arm and stalked off with her.

We walked out the gym, and got into the truck.

"What the fuck is going on Enzo?"

"Erin I swear on everything in my life. I don't have anything to do with that girl. I remember waking up with her YEARS ago, after getting drunk one night. It was the night I found out you and Dean moved in together, and I was upset. I drank too fucking much, and I don't know what happened. I quickly got the fuck out of there, and I've avoided her ever since. She is psychotic, and has been dating different guys at the gym, and I always had to end up seeing her around. I've avoided her, I've told the guys she's crazy. I had to change my fucking number three times to avoid her. I did get distracted while I was fighting because I didn't know what she was up to up there talking to you. It worried me, because I didn't know what she was capable of. You're my love, my future wife, and I've only wanted you and will always will."

She looked at me, nodded, and leaned in and kissed me. 

"I'm sorry Enzo, I should've known better. I don't know what I keep doing. I keep thinking that everything in my life is going to be bad, and  I don't know how to accept that I can finally relax, and just enjoy my life. "

"Baby I promise you, everything will be perfect from now on."

She nodded, tears slipping out. I held her hand and started the truck.

"By the way, good job kicking her ass." I smiled.

"Oh, shut up."

"I'm serious, maybe you should jump in the ring." I winked at her.

"Oh yeah, I can see that." She rolled her eyes.

"For real though, I have the feeling you impressed a lot of the guys handling shit on your own. That's fucking awesome." 

"Yeah, well don't fuck with me, and I won't fuck with you." She smiled looking out the window.

My woman.

We got back to the apartments, and I unloaded the truck and we made our way up to our floor.

I couldn't help but smile, holding the love of my life's hand, going to our home, to go love on our baby. 

How did I get so lucky?

I unlocked the door and pushed it open.

"Cali! We're home. Where are you guys?" Erin yelled out.

We walked in more, and looked around. I didn't see them, and I began checking rooms.

"Maybe they went to the park?" I looked at her and she looked worried.

I checked all the rooms and found no sign of them.

We walked into the living room, and went to go call Cali.

The phone picked up.

"Cali? Hey where are you guys?" I said.

"Enzo, Enzo, Enzo." A voice came onto the line.

"Who is this! Where is Cali and Marci?"

"Oh don't worry about who this is. You'll figure that out soon enough. I believe you owe me something, I've already collected on half of it. Cute kid." The man's voice, deep and rough, scared me.

"Please don't hurt them." I felt my voice break.

"Oh no, Never. We aren't in the business of hurting women. They are how we make our money."

I felt sick to my stomach.

I looked up and Erin looked pale like she was going to be sick.

"What do you want me to do? I'll do anything for this to be okay. Just don't take my baby girl. Please that's my daughter and sister you have. Please, I'm begging you."

"You know you killed my brother, right? Only seem's fitting to repay that favor."

I couldn't help but cry.

I was strong, I was brave. But I was scared shitless right now.
