There I am a salsero by him in the concrete jungle when this psychotic man leaped out of the crowded dance floor. It happened so fast there was not time to react. Like a deranged man he comes charging towards us.
Although, I was taken back from this surprise attack, I sat firm in my chair and looked at him straight in the eye. If there was an ounce of fear in me, I didn’t show it. Never let these fools put fear in your heart.
If you are nervous, never show it because that’s exactly what they want. It’s how they operate, they thrive on fear. Remember; never let them see fear in you.
He gave a loud shriek in front of the crowded place. I was a little perplexed because I never had a person shriek like that in front of me in public. There was silence in the place, even though music was playing; you could hear this guy breathing.
He bent forward and pointed his finger at her and went screamed something that sounded like, “Auggghhhhhh!!!”
I was like, what kind of madman is this. I was firm. He went to her and kept saying it,”Augh aughhhh augghhh!” I stood up and was between him and her and there was no way I was backing down.
Out of nowhere my friend and his girl leaped out and got between us. The aunt extended her hand to the madman and he went towards her and just sat down. Actually, he was yelling at her, I guess that shriek was the way he says, “I caught you.”
Suddenly everything was quiet and calm. I looked at him and he was sitting with the woman with his head on her chest cuddling up on her. Like a baby cuddling up to its mother and wanting some affection.
He was groveling to her and she just put her hands on his cheek and patted him. My friend told me, it’s is best I go to another table to avoid more conflict, he was right. As I was about to leave, his girl told me to stay.
“Stay it’s okay, don’t leave Chase.” There was a sharp disagreement between the two but they finally both came to an agreement I should stay with them at the table.
I guess they thought there was no more harm. I stayed and put my back to the odd couple and just looked out at the dance floor.
Quickly recollecting myself, I thought about what just happened. Did this grown man about 40 years old just shieked out loud in public. Couldn’t he even speak because those were not human words coming out of his mouth?
This is whacked, I guess everything I heard about him was true but I didn’t know to this extreme. I just shook my head.
I turned back for a moment and there he was, rubbing his head on her chest like a little dog. Doesn’t he have any shame? He just made a total fool of himself, humiliated; I guess still his girlfriend and those sitting at the table.
He didn’t even care, it’s like it didn’t even compute in his head the outrageous scene he just made. I turned around in disgust.
It’s obvious; there is something deeply disturbing in this man’s head. Shortly, I got up and left the table. Suddenly I realized what I had to do. I grabbed a girl and took her out to dance salsa. Sometimes salsa dancing is the only cure.
This would not be the last encounter I would have with this man. We came across each other’s path several times. Eventually something was bound to happen. Eventually, this would have to be dealt with.
The question is how do you deal with a man in this situation or a madman? Or, how do you deal with a drug dealing gangster who carries a deadly weapon with him?
These were things I needed to consider, I had to ponder on it. You just can’t take action unless you know specifically what you’re dealing with. I had to get to the bottom of this.
However, these thoughts didn’t come to mind at first. A couple of days later a strong feeling came over me and I couldn’t fight it. It kept dogging me throughout the day.
Guys, you know when you have a confrontation and it’s not settled, it doesn’t easily get off your mind. You won’t be able to sleep at night till it’s settled, you keep tossing and turning, and it must be settled.
Therefore, I decided to confront him and deal with this feeling that kept haunting me throughout the week…my curiosity.
Ok, we got this far and I want to know at this point how would you deal with it. Would you let it go, settle it or anything else? Salseros need to know, both men and women because this situation happens. You may be dancing with someone’s mate and they may be a possessive and psychotic. It happens.
Keep following the yellow brick road to find the outcome.
