“I don’t think so. She takes all her dates to the playhouse and fucks their brains out,” Jake said.
 
 Anton chuckled. “I think a lot of the guys you spoke to about her are lying. Bianca isn’t a slut. Remember I went to school with her? She’s a nerd. The only things she’s fucking are her books and that laptop.”
 
 I loved that my woman was a nerd.
 
 “Nerds are freaks, Anton. I’m getting my piece of pussy.”
 
 Boy, was he wrong.
 
 I milled around behind the shop for another hour. Eventually, I broke into the circuit breaker box and cut the wires, killing their power.
 
 I heard Anton and Jake discuss the power outage. They made the conscious decision to close early. Anton asked Jake to lock up. He was taking off.
 
 Ten minutes later, I glanced in the window and noticed Anton peeling out of the parking lot. Casually, I strolled into the mechanic area.
 
 “Excuse me, I’d like to pick up my car,” I stated as I ambled toward Jake.
 
 His brown eyes widened. “Shit, man, where did you come from?”
 
 “The back parking lot.” I stabbed a thumb over my shoulder. “I was just taking a look at my car.”
 
 He shrugged as his brows rose on his almond complected face. “Sorry man, I can’t get into the computers. We lost power.”
 
 “That answer is unacceptable,” I snarled as I reached under my dark t-shirt and pulled the Glock from the waist holster.
 
 He was taller than me, but lanky. About six-five. But there was something about a person pushing a gun into your spine. Pretty sure this guy didn’t want to die.
 
 “Let’s take a walk.” I pointed the gun at the back door.
 
 “Come on, man. All this over a car?” he whined as he strolled outside.
 
 Gripping his shoulder, I pushed the barrel into his back as we walked deeper into the yard.
 
 “You asked my woman out on a date. And for whatever reason, she agreed. I’ll handle her.”
 
 “What?” he asked, confusion laced his words.
 
 “Yes, my woman Bianca came to pick up a van. You asked her on a date. You ain’t getting anywhere near my woman.”
 
 “Hey, man. Fine, I’ll ignore her call.”
 
 A chuckle rattled in my throat. “She was never going to fucking call you.”
 
 I squeezed his shoulder, stopping his steps at the driver's side door of the Buick.
 
 “Pop the hood and the trunk,” I ordered.
 
 He did as he was told.
 
 “Walk toward the trunk,” I bit out.
 
 “You thought you’d fuck my woman?”
 
 He rambled on about how he wouldn’t talk to her.
 
 “And to think she thought I was being absurd, because I considered killing any man who looked at her ass.”
 
 Jake gasped. “Hey, man, what are you talking about?” He glanced around.
