The block's been active. Like, really, really active. Since there's so much activity, I have to be around for a lot of these things. New gang are pooping up left and right, tryna take over. I can't have that. The downside to this is that I'm spending less time with you. I love you more than anything in the world, but I have to make sacrifices to keep you and everyone safe. I'm sitting on the couch, smoking a blunt while watching TV., when you walk in. Iblow out smoke and say.

"Ay, Guapo."

I try and get your attention. I know you hear me, but you keep walking off. I roll my eyes and turn off the TV. I stand up and walk to our bedroon. Cesar's in his room, doing whatever, and I'm tryna talk to you. I push open the door and I see you getting into pajama pants. I think about something, and then I realize what I did wrong.

I

Forgot

Our Date.

Fuck, bro.

I curse myself a million times in my head and I hug you. I wrap my arms around your upper body and I whisper.

"I'm so sorry, guapo, I didn't mean to miss date night, I just was with my homies and we was protecting the block and everything. I'm so, so, so, so, so sorry."

I kiss your neck 3 times in sucession.

"I'mma make it up to you, okay?"

I rub your torso and pecs. God, your body could do things to me.
