is and you know it!”   She shouted at the top of her lungs.
    “Keep your damn voice down!”   He whispered loudly. “Are you trying to get me fired?”
    Her tears somehow quickly dried up.   “Maybe.   Then you wouldn’t be able to be around that bitch.”
    Anton was fed up at this point.   He held his head down and took a few steps back away from her.   “Dazzy, I can’t do it anymore.”
    “Can’t do what?”
    “This.   I can’t take your irrational and borderline-insane behavior anymore.”
    She tilted her head slightly.   “What are you trying to say?   Are you breaking up with me?”
    “Yes.   I think we need to go our separate ways, Dazzy.”
    “What about Angel?   You’re just going to desert your daughter?”
    “ Of course not !   We don’t have to be together for me to be a father to my baby!”
    “Oh, there is no fucking way you are going to be an in-and-out daddy!   Either you are with us , or not.”
    “Dazzy, you truly need medical attention if you think for one minute you are going to keep me from my daughter!”
    “She chuckled.   “Watch me.”
    Anton held his head down slightly as he giggled.   “You are one crazy bitch.   I should have listened when everyone, including my sister, warned me about you.   I said ‘no, I wanted to do the right thing’.   I can say one good thing came out of us getting together, and that is Angel.”
    Dazzy glared at him with burning, fury filled eyes.
    “I have to go.   I’m sure I have a lot of answering to do.   I will be by later to get my things.”
    Dazzy just stood staring at him filled with hatred and fury as she watched him walk out of the stairwell.
    “Is everything okay?” Colbey asked him once he entered the office.
    “Yeah.   Again, I’m sorry you had to deal with that, but it’s over now.”
    “What do you mean?   You broke up with her?”   Colbey felt somewhat liable, but happy he got rid of her.   “I feel so responsible.”
    “No, it’s not your fault.   This has been building for a long time.   I just finally got fed up enough to do it.”
    “Still, I feel really bad.”
    He touched her shoulder.   “Don’t, okay?   I am actually relieved that I’ve done away with her.”  
    “Okay, well, just let me know if I can do anything.”
    He smiled at her appreciatively as he walked into his office, shutting the door behind him.

    Anton sighed loudly as he switched off his computer. He knew he had to go back to the apartment and get his things.   He just wasn’t looking forward to it.   He wished he could have a police escort or something because although he would not admit it out loud, Dazzy kind of scared him.  
    “Hey heading out early?”   Romeo walked in to Anton’s office.
    “Yeah.   I need to attempt to go get my stuff.   Who knows what she has waiting for me.”   Anton sighed.
    “I still can’t believe she came up here and showed her ass like that!”
    “Me either.”   Anton shook his head.   “It was just the last straw for me.   I refuse to take any more of her shit.”
    “I feel ya.   I feel ya.   Hey, why don’t you come with me and a few other folks down to the bar downstairs for a few drinks.”
    Anton switched off the lamp on his desk.   “I don’t know.   I really need to just take this thing head on tonight.”
    “I know.   Just come with us and throw a few back before you go in to battle.”   Anton chuckled.  
    “I guess one drink won’t hurt.”   Anton smiled as he followed Anton out.
     

     
     
    Dazzy sat in the living room silent, furious.   “There is no way he is leaving us.”   She muttered.   She picked up the phone and dialed his office number.   The phone rang a few times and was picked up by his secretary.   “Dynex Security Consulting, how may I help you?”   She said in a very perky voice.
    “May I speak to Mr. Dennis, please?”   Dazzy asked in a very agitated tone.
    “I’m sorry he is gone
