18. Chapter 17 #2
“I know you fucking lying,” one bartender whispered. “This bitch is back…”
Outside, Allure was completely spiraling now.
“I LOST MY FUCKIN CAREER OVER THIS SHIT!” she screamed while security struggled to hold her back. “NOBODY WANNA THROW MONEY AT A BITCH WITH NO FUCKIN' TEETH!”
Her statement made the crowd wince and take pity on her. Even security looked uncomfortable.
One guard spoke to another. “Yo somebody go get Marcus before this shit turn into WorldStar.”
A few minutes later the club doors finally swung open.
Marcus stepped outside already irritated smoking a fresh blunt.
“The fuck is all this fuckin' noise out here man?!!!!!!!” he snapped.
Allure laughed bitterly the second she saw him. “Oh now you wanna come the fuck outside.”
Marcus stopped once he realized who it was. And even he looked caught off guard for a second. Allure laughed bitterly noticing his reaction.
“…Damn.” Marcus said as he stared at Allure shaking his head.
Allure narrowed her eyes and laughed. “Yeah, that's right nigga…. Damn.”
Marcus asked while speaking through his teeth. “Why the fuck would you come up here like this Allure, the fuck is wrong wit yo simple ass?”
“Cause yo ass stopped answering my calls nigga!” Allure replied with her hand on her hip.
Allure pointed toward the entrance screaming and clapping her hands for every word that she spoke, using it as an emphasis:
“HE TOLD ME HE WAS GON PAY FOR MY SURGERY YALL, THIS CROOKED MOTHAFUCKA RIGHT HERE IS A MOTHAFUCKIN' LIAR YALL. DON'T TRUST HIS SHADY ASS!!!!”
He looked around annoyed already realizing this scene was getting bad for business.
“Yo Allure you better lower your fuckin' voice. And watch how you talk to me out here too, you know I don't play that shit!!" Marcus exclaimed.
“NO!” Allure screamed. “You promised me you was gon help me!!
Marcus rubbed his jaw slowly while looking at her mouth. “I ain’t gon hold you man… I forgot all about that shit.”
Allure stared at him like she wanted to kill him. “The fuck you mean you forgot?!!!!”
Marcus gritted his teeth, "Bitch like I fucking said, I forgot!! I got real shit going on!” Marcus snapped back. “You think I'm sitting around thinking about your mouth when shit is happening left and right?”
Allure curled her upper lip and scoffed, “Nigga please, I don't give a fuck about what's happening to you! Do you know how humiliating this shit is? I can’t even fuckin smile normal no more!”
Marcus pulled from the blunt before finally looking her dead in the eyes.
“Well maybe you should’ve kept your fuckin mouth shut then.”
Allure looked stunned for half a second, then she became furious. “You dirty ass nigga…”
Marcus stepped closer lowering his voice. A muscle in his jaw flexed. “You the one who ran your mouth and got fucked up. That ain’t got shit to do with me. A smart bitch know when to shut the fuck up before life does it for her.”
Allure looked like she might explode. “You's a cruel ass nigga…” she whispered.
Marcus laughed coldly. “Nah. Cruel would’ve been me pretending to give a fuck.”
Allure lost it. Security grabbed her while she kicked and fought like a wild animal. Right then June appeared near the doorway. And that made the shit ten times worse. Cause June looked pretty, unbothered and untouchable.
Everything Allure wasn’t anymore.
Allure screamed so loud her voice cracked. “LOOK AT HER YALL, IT'S THE WOMAN OF THE MOTHAFUCKIN' HOUR. GO HEAD YALL, TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THAT BITCH. SHE LOVES A FUCKIN' AUDIENCE!!!”
People turned their phones toward June.
“That bitch ruined my fuckin LIFE!” Allure yelled out.
June looked out at the crowd before her eyes landed back on Allure.
Then she smiled and waved to the crowd like she was a celebrity. And then to be petty Betty, she looked at Allure and winked.
The people in the crowd yelled with excitement. “OHHHHHH SHITTTTT!”
Somebody damn near dropped they phone laughing. That pissed Allure off even more.
“That bitch think shit funny?!” she screamed while running to the front entrance. Security chased her down and grabbed her. She began fighting to be break free from security all over again. “LET ME THE FUCK GO, I'm bout to whoop that bitch's ass!!!
June stayed in the doorway and looked Allure up and down before tilting her head slightly. "Bitch please, yo whack ass ain't gon do shit. You pathetic as fuck asking for thirds after I already served yo ass twice."
One girl bent over laughing while another slapped her friend's arm. Security stood on both sides of Allure holding her arms just in case she tried to run up on June again.
“You standing over there like you a fucking prize or some shit. You think you the it girl or something, huh?!” Allure screamed crying now. “Bitch I FUCKING HATE YOU!”
Marcus looked completely done with the fuckery. “Aight I’m done with this bullshit.”
He looked directly at security. “Get her mentally unstable ass the fuck away from my club. This bitch is a fuckin' crash out.”
Allure looked at him like he'd just slapped her.
Marcus stepped closer lowering his voice cruelly. “Oh, and if you don't know by now, yo ass is fired.”
His words hit her like a gunshot to the chest. Allure’s face completely fell apart after that. “What?”
“You heard what the fuck I said.” Marcus shrugged. “I can’t have unstable ass people attached to my business.”
The whole crowd gasped again. Allure started crying for real now. She was angry, broken, and humiliated.
“You gon fire me after everything I did for this piece of shit club?!”
Marcus looked her coldly. “No bitch, you getting fired because you became a liability. And don't act like you did anything special, all yo ass did was dance that's it. You ain't special, yo ass can be replaced just like the next bitch,” he said cruelly.
Allure snatched free and in an instant, she rushed toward him screaming. “You ain’t shit nigga!!!”
Security ran up on her and grabbed her before she could reach him.
"Yo, I said get her the fuck outta here man. Unless yall want a fucking dead body out this bitch, get her outta my fucking eyesight. If I gotta entertain this bullshit any longer its' gon get real dark out here ya feel me?" Marcus yelled with fire in his dark eyes.
Security dragged Allure backward while tears ruined the rest of her makeup.
Everywhere she looked somebody was staring at her mouth whispering, laughing, and recording.
Marcus turned away from her and headed back into the club shaking his head.
Security finally shoved Allure toward the sidewalk while people kept recording her like she was some damn circus act.
One girl even laughed. “Girl let’s go before this bitch bite somebody. ”
The crowd began cracking the fuck up.
"FUCK ALL YALL MOTHAFUCKAS!!!" Allure said screaming at the top of her lungs. Her chest tightened up so bad she thought she was gonna have a heart attack.
"Yall think this is so fucking funny right?" Allure said as she bent over trying to catch her breath.
Nobody answered her.
The music from Heaven’s Door started pounding again behind her while the line slowly went back to normal like her whole breakdown never even mattered.
Like she never mattered.
Allure finally saw things for what they were. June humbled the fuck out of her.
Across the street, Miss Loretta leaned against her car watching the whole thing unravel like it was evening entertainment.
Her eyes followed Allure stumbling toward the corner crying and cursing under her breath.
Miss Loretta smiled slowly then she stepped out the car. “You did all that over one bitch?” she asked calmly.
Allure wiped at her face aggressively. “Mind your fucking business, aight lady?”
Miss Loretta looked toward Heaven’s Door before pulling a cigarette from her purse. “She fucked your life up too, huh?”
Allure turned toward her.
Miss Loretta lit the cigarette slowly before exhaling smoke into the air.
“That girl is the mothafucking devil,” she muttered. “She got a smile that'll fool you if you let it. By the time you realize what kind of person she is, the damage is already done.”
Allure stared at her breathing hard. “You know June?”
Miss Loretta laughed softly under her breath.
“Oh baby…” she muttered. “You have no idea."
