As she glared at him he said with mock sincerity, “Oh please, don’t let me interrupt.”

Shane put a hand on Carmen’s shoulder as she was about to speedily rise from her seat, no doubt about to deck him, and gently but with a tad bit of pressure had her sit back down. Shane then stood up walked from the table to where Gabe was standing, and stood not a foot away from and said, “You’re not welcome here. See to it that you see yourself to the door, or I will not hesitate to have the restaurant manager here call security. Or would you rather he contact the hotel manager to call the local law enforcement, huh big guy?”

Gabe’s face went slightly red with rage while his knuckles went white gripping the bar table. Shane made her way back to the table, and gestured for everyone to continue their conversations as if nothing had happened. Gabriel than yelled, “Carla, are you going to let her run her mouth off to me, I thought I was your husband?”

The table, no, the entire room went deafly quiet. Carla stopped drinking from her glass of water midway, and placed down onto the table and replied, “Do you remember her name, Gabe?”

Gabriel who now was confused replied, “What do you mea-”

Carla cut him off saying, “You know exactly what I mean. I know that you slept with another woman last night, and you didn’t care who got hurt by that action or the fact that we were originally worried sick because we thought that something terrible had happened to you!”

She took a heavy breath before continuing, “No though, you were just having the time of your life sharing more than just a bed with another woman. So yes, for now you are still my husband and Shay and not to mention Shane’s father. Have you ever heard the saying Gabe, ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’ well all of these women here at this table feel scorned by you so I’d watch yourself. You might just find yourself a one way ticket all the way to hell.”

Gabe, his face now purple with a mixture of shock and rage, looked at all of the pissed off women at the table and put money down on the counter for his drink, and stormed off to the exit. Before he could leave though Carla added, “Just so we’re clear Gabe, you are no longer welcome at home. So you might as well go find another chick who seems infatuated with you enough to let you stay with them because you are not living with me or Shay anymore.”

Gabe turned around abruptly red with rage and yelled, “You can’t kick me out of my house!”

Carla replied, “I’m sorry who’s been paying the bills single handedly since you lost your job over a year ago? Who has been paying off the mortgage bit, by bit, by bit? I’m so sorry Gabe but it’s obviously not your house anymore, and while I’m at it I’m getting sole custody of Shay. So you can kiss your home, your wife, and you rights as a father goodbye.”

Gabe, even redder now said, “Why I ought a-”

Just then a security guard came and dragged Gabriel out of the restaurant. The room was still deafly quiet until Alice said, “Well that fucker certainly deserved that.”

And everyone cracked up laughing again, and everything went back to normal. As normal as normal can be with this rambunctious group of people.
