smiled.   “Everything is just fine.”
    Dazzy smiled victoriously as he hugged her.

 
    Chapter 6
     
    Anton was glad to get back to work after being home for two weeks with Dazzy and Angel.   He loved being with them, but he was also happy to get away from poopy diapers for a while.   Besides, Dazzy was a little hard to be around at times.   He was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt and attribute her behavior to hormones, but that was starting to get harder and harder to do.   They spend a lot of his time at home arguing.   Dazzy wanted to get married almost immediately.   It struck him as a little odd, but he just went along with it.  
    “Hey welcome back buddy!   Romeo said as he came in behind him.
    “Hey what’s up, man?   Glad to be back.”   Anton said in an unexcited tone.
    “Damn, why the long face?”
    “Man, I have had the worst week ever.   Dazzy and I argued over just about anything and I haven’t talked to Jamelah since she left the hospital.”
    “I’m sure Jamelah is fine.   You know how stubborn she is.   She’s call you as soon she’s finished pouting.”
    Anton sat down behind his desk.   “I know.   I just wonder if I was too hard on her.”  
    “Personally, I think you both are right.   She was wrong for doing shit behind your back, but you also need to get that test, man.”
    “Hold on.”   Anton said as he reached for his ringing phone.   “Dynex Security Consulting, Anton Jennings speaking, how can I help you?”  
    “So, you just left without saying goodbye to me?”   Dazzy’s angry voice came through the phone.
    “Dazzy, I don’t have time for this.”  
    “What do you mean, ‘You don’t have time for this?’”
    “Just what I said, Dazzy, I’m at work.”
    “I don’t give a fuck where you are!   You will listen to me, Anton!”
    “No, I won’t as long as you are acting like this.   What is wrong with you lately?”
    “You are what’s wrong with me!”  
    “Okay, well get off the phone then.”   He hung up.
    “Oh shit, dog!   You weren’t playing?”   Romeo chuckled.
    Anton shook his head as his phone rang again.   “Man, I don’t know what to say!   She has been like this since we got back home.   I can’t do anything right.”
    “See, that’s why I enjoy the single life man.   I’ll catch you later.”   He stood up and left.  
    Anton held his head in his hands as his phone continued to ring.   “This can’t be happening.”   He murmured.   “Dazzy, what is your problem?”   He said exasperated.
    “Baby, I’m sorry.   I have just been really tired lately.   Forgive me?”
    “Yeah, sure, whatever.   I’ll call you later.”  
    “You forgive me?”  
    “Yes, Dazzy.   Can I go?   I have work to get to.”
    “Okay.”   She said sounding like nothing had even happened.   “I’ll talk to you later.   I love you.”
    “Yeah, I love you too.”   He hung up and sighed loudly.
     

     
     
    Romeo sat down at his desk and took a deep breath before he picked up his phone receiver.   He had no idea why he was feeling this way.   He usually had nerves of steel when it came to women, so why in the hell was he feeling this way when it came to Krystal?   He just could not stop thinking about her.   Unlike other women he had dealt with, he wanted to know more about her and actually spend time with her.   He tapped his pen on his desk as he waited for her to pick up.
    “Hello?”   Krystal answered.
    “Hey Krystal.   This is Romeo.”
    “Hey Romeo, how are you?”
    “I’m fine.   How about you let me take you out for dinner?”
    “Romeo, how many times have we been through this?”
    “No, wait, before you shoot me down again, I’m not trying to get in your pants.   I just want to go out and have a nice time.   No strings attached.”
    “Yeah, right.”   Krystal chuckled.
    “I’m dead serious!   Are you willing to give me the chance to be a gentleman?”
    The phone was
