do shoot the fucker?"
    "Didn't see him; not there and not at his house."
    "He had to know you were gonna come after him after pulling
that stunt; asshole's probably hiding under a bed somewhere."
    "How is she?"
    "She's cool; didn't say anything about it to us but she's
being a little quiet; take it easy on her man."
    "Don't go there bro."
    He held up his hands and stepped back out of my space.
    "No disrespect brother."
    "I know that Jared I also know what she means to you, thanks
for sitting on her for me."
    "No
problem I'll just grab my girl and be out."
       They were gone
five minutes later; I found her in the den looking through channels and doing
her best to pretend I wasn't there.
    "Something you want to tell me Katarina?"
    "What you already know." She said that shit all testy.
    "Watch your fucking mouth you’re already in enough trouble as
it is; try not to make shit harder on yourself."
    "Everything was fine, nothing happened."
    "Yeah but what did I say?"
    "Colton if I'd told you you would never let me out of this
house alone again as it is you don't even trust me to be home alone...."
    "Is that what you think; that I don't trust you to be home
alone you can't be that fucking obtuse Kat. The reason I don't want you home
alone in this big as fuck house is because the last time that happened shit
went south and yes I still have a hard time leaving you alone while I'm off
handling somebody else's shit so fucking sue me; and we're not talking about
that right now; right now we're discussing the fact that that fucker put hands
on you and you didn't follow procedure."
    "I didn't have time; my phone was in my bag at the
table..."
    "Fuck that what did you do after?" She took a minute to
answer but she knew better than to lie to me or it would be her ass.
    "I went back to the table and told Carol I wanted to
leave."
    "First mistake; when you got back to the table you should've taken
your phone and called me not make plans to head to the fucking movies. I told
you about this sick fuck what are you not understanding here?"
    "Why are you yelling at me?"
    "I'm yelling Katarina because you're not getting it; I need
you to get what I'm saying you told me you did but obviously you didn't."
    She decided to go the sulking route; too fucking bad. I just ended
a motherfucker for fucking around with her; had three more on the hook and she
wasn't getting it.
    "I'm not a kid Colton."
     I had to take a deep breath and pray for strength; am I
being difficult here am I putting too much pressure on her; expecting too much?
The fuck I know. I've never felt for anyone what she makes me feel; am I not
supposed to want to protect her, keep her safe; is it so hard to understand my
fears in this situation? She’s so fucking innocent and sweet and everything
that I’m not and it fucking burns me up that he got anywhere near her.
    I found myself pulling her up from her chair and into the comfort
of my arms. Reality is that she'd been accosted tonight; with her history that
can't be a small thing so with all my anger and yes I'm still angry, I have to
take everything into consideration.
    "Are you okay?"
     She relaxed against me at my soft inquiry nodding her head
against my chest.
    "Baby look at me.” I raised her chin with my fingers and
kissed her brow.
    "I'm mad because you were in danger no other reason; I don't
want anything happening to you; if I could I would keep you with me always but
there'll be times when that's not going to be possible I just need to know that
you're going to be safe. I can't do anything if I'm always worried about you;
sometimes I have to go out of town I'll try to take you with me as often as
possible but those times when I can't just for my peace of mind I might ask you
to stay at my parents or have someone come here to be with you. It's not lack
of trust; it's my own personal fear okay I'm afraid to leave you alone when I'm
far away. I don't know how long that fear will last or if I'll ever outgrow it
but I'm
