Handguns and Second Chances

So we’ve all seen the movies. A girl sneaks a boy into her house in the middle of the night, the dad just happens to wake up for a glass of milk. The next thing you know , he wanders into his daughters bedroom. This is the very moment that all your worst fears come into play.

So there was a point and time,where I was hooking up with this, tiny little Spanish girl. She was an artsy little fuck. Paints, draws, anything you can think of and she was damn good to. Well let me paint you this picture , art wasn’t all she was good at. She is first generation immigrant in this country, so her parents are old school. Well at this point I had been hooking up with her on the regular for a couple months. She had recently gotten in trouble. So she wasn’t allowed to leave her house , basically only to go to class. So she used to sneak me in at like 2 in the morning, while her parents were sleeping and we would chill.

This time things went horribly wrong. We were in her room and her father walks in , his daughter is in a rather compromising position. A position that would make Snoop happy, if you catch my drift. All I hear is Spanish screaming, I have not a clue what was said. The next thing that came out of her mouth I heard very clearly, “Just run!” Little did I know what was really about to unfold in the next 90 seconds. I quickly grab my pants, throw them on. I hear someone screaming from the kitchen in broken English. He’s getting closer . Where are my shoes?!?! Fuck shoes! As I dart down the hallway towards the front door. I see out of the corner of my eye, a 50 something year old Spanish man running towards me screaming with a gun. Alright so it wasn’t’ a shotgun , like you usually see in the movies, but it was a gun none the less. This is when the real panic starts to set in and all you can say is “FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!” My body explodes out the front door , almost as if I was fucking running with the bulls in Barcelona. Lucky for me , I never parked at her house I parked down the street. By the time he hit the front door , I was fucking out. I never knew my feet could work so fast. I should have gotten a Gatorade endorsement for that kind of movement.
