work here? Fuck you doing working up in here?â he said, looking around.
âWe need money, right?â Diamond sucked her teeth with an attitude. âIâm just trying to help.â
âWhat?â Kendu, his face crumpled, walked behind the counter so he could be face to face with his wife. âDidnât I tell you I had everything under control?â
âYou always say that,â Diamond said in a bored tone.
Kendu quickly smacked the shit outta Diamond, causing her to stumble back into the cash register. âFuck you think you talking to like that?â he barked as he moved in closer.
Before he could even say another word, he felt somebody tapping him on his shoulder. He turned around and found himself face to face with a dark-skinned brother.
âIâm the owner of this club,â Perry said in a professional manner. âIs there a problem over here?â
âIâm talking to my wife right now! Mind your business!â Kendu said, turning his back to Perry.
âAnything in this club is my business!â Perry said in a firm tone.
Kendu turned around and looked at Perry like he was insane as he cocked back and punched him in the face. Before Perry could react, Kendu was all over him, trying to take his head off.
Perry hit the floor, and as Kendu was about to stomp him out, a big bouncer threw him in a choke hold, as several big bouncers moved in for the kill. Kendu struggled to get free as he saw one of the bouncers about to punch him with brass knuckles on.
As soon as the bouncer got close, Dirty Black smacked him in the head with a Hennessy bottle. Amazon dropped the bouncer who held Kendu in a choke hold with a punch to the back of his head. From there the brawl popped off. Amazon was dropping anybody in his path, women included, while the rest of the crew and the bouncers got busy.
Seconds later, the dirty guy that Kendu had a fight with on his first day pulled out a 9 mm and pumped four shots into the ceilingâ Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!â causing everybody to get low and scramble for their life.
Kendu looked around for Diamond, but he didnât see her. So he stayed low and ran up out the club.
âYou all right?â Monica asked, helping Diamond up from off the floor.
âYeah, Iâm fine.â Diamond quickly rushed over to Perryâs side. He was bleeding from his nose, and he also had a cut on the corner of his eye. âAre you all right?â
âYeah, Iâm straight,â Perry said, touching his eye. He just shook his head when his hand came away bloody. âYou know that guy?â
âYeah, that was my husband,â Diamond said, embarrassed. âIâm so sorry about this.â
Perry stood up and saw that the whole party had been shut down, and the only people still in the club were his staff and the DJ.
âHere. Let me help you clean that.â Diamond tried to clean Perryâs wounds with a wet napkin.
Perry quickly caught her hand in mid-air before the napkin touched his skin. âYou had anything planned for when you got off work?â
âNo,â Diamond answered quickly. âWhy? Whatâs up?â
âCan you come with me to my crib real quick? Iâma need you to help count some money, unless you have to get home.â Perry winced in pain, hoping to win Diamondâs sympathy.
âYeah, I can do that. Ainât like I can go home tonight anyway.â
Perry stepped out in the parking lot just happy to be able to spend some quality time with Diamond. He didnât mind shedding a little of blood to be with his soon-to-be girl. âFollow me.â
âOkay,â Diamond replied. âAnd donât be driving all crazy.â
âWhat the fuck was that back there?â Dirty Black asked when the whole crew got back to their chill spot.
âMy bad,â Kendu apologized. âWhen that clown hopped in my face, my first reaction was to snuff the
