“We’re just dancing!”

“That’s right,” says Davey. “We’re just dancing.”

“If you’re just dancing, why you got your hand on my girlfriend’s tit?!”

Davey shrugs. “I’m not the only one with my hand on your girlfriend’s tit.”

I reach out for Oscar’s shoulder, but he takes a step forward.

He says to Davey, “What the fuck did you say?!”

“You heard me,” Davey responds.

The homeless woman suddenly appears at the far end of the parking lot and screams toward me, “Nash, Nash, Nash!”

I glance at the woman, who’s pointing a long, dirty finger at me, but I quickly move my attention back to the tense scene before me.

Blanca, sensing that Oscar is about to do something, exclaims, “Oscar!”

Oscar lunges for Davey.

Victor and I both spring into action.

Oscar lands one solid punch to Davey’s nose before Victor and I pull Oscar away.

“Nash, Nash, Nash!” the homeless woman continues.

Victor and I have a solid grip around Oscar’s upper body, but he kicks his legs, trying to reach Davey, who has moved several steps back, holding his bleeding nose.

“I thought we were bros, bro!” Oscar continues to kick, his eyes still fixed on Davey. “You don’t mess with another dude’s girl!”

Blanca starts trying to slap Oscar in the face. “What the fuck is your problem, Oscar?!”

Victor lets go of Oscar and holds Blanca back, while I keep my arms around Oscar. Oscar and Blanca attempt to attack one another.

The homeless woman still: “Nash, Nash, Nash!”

Oscar says to Blanca, “What’s he mean by that?! He’s not the only one touching you?! What’s he mean by that?!”

“He doesn’t mean anything! He’s stupid!”

“You cheating on me?!” Oscar asks.

“Fuck you!” growls Blanca.

“You cheating on me?!”

“You’realways looking at other girls!”

“I look, but I don’t touch!”

“Yeah, right!”

“I don’t!” insists Oscar. “I’m not a cheater! I would never do you like that! When I say you’re my girl, you’re my girl! My mom taught me right! Since I was little! She’d kill me if I ever cheatedon you! I swear to Jesus, I swear on my unborn children, I swear on my dead dad!”

“You’re a dog!” yells Blanca. “You’rethe cheater!”

Yes, Oscar talks about other girls and stuff, but he doesn’t cheat. Blanca is obviously trying to deflect.
