Diablo (Machine Gun Kelly)

2

A few days later things were still the same. I managed to finally get my broken car out of the bars parking lot and in my apartment building parking lot but, now I have to walk to work. As I shut my door to the apartment building I noticed a purple Mercedes-Benz parked outside. I looked around the dark street and when I seen Pete get out he gave me a smile.

"Hi"? I questioned.

"Would you like a ride to work"? He asked.

"How do you know where I live"? I asked and walked closer to the beautiful car.

"Boss man wanted to make sure you got to work tonight. He said you've been late".

I nodded and pointed to my car. "Its broke".

He nodded. "Hence the ride. Let's go". He smirked.

I got into the car and he drove off.

"So your boss knows where I live"? I asked.

He chuckled. "Travis sent me, not Kells".

"Kells? That's his name"? I asked and he shook his head.

"No. It's Colson. He just hates being called that".

I nodded.

We pulled into yet another full parking lot and I got out.

"See Travis when you go in"? He said and grabbed his phone then got out.

I walked inside to the packed bar and made my way to the back, pushing past all the drunken bodies infront of me. I spotted the tattooed Travis and walked over.

"Hey you're here. I have some stuff in the back for restock but I'm making Haley do it. I need you to help with this. You're on the floor tonight". He said and handed me a bottle.

"You want me to drink this"? I asked and he laughed.

"No. Kells is promoting this tonight. It's a brand deal of tequila weve been working with, its called immortal". He smiled and wrote down stuff on a clipboard.

"Okay". I nodded and set my bag behind the counter. Immortal I guess fits with the theme of the bar.

I walked over to see Haley stocking the liquor wall, Donna was serving people behind the bar. I grabbed a few shot glasses, setting them on the tray amd filled them with the new tequila.

"Why do you get the floor"? Haley asked.

I shrugged. "Travis told me to".

She rolled her eyes and stood up with the box of seltzers. I knew she was mad at from the other night. I shook off the glares from both girls and grabbed the tray. I walked through the people as they all took a glass, handing me the money. I ended up placing the bills in my shirt to hold onto it. I made my way to the back and noticed Pete sitting there.

"Shot"? I asked and gave him a smile.

He chuckled and took a glass. I went to walk off but he stopped me.

"Dont you think you should offer the boss one"? He asked.

I turned to see 'Kells' sitting with a group of girls. I sighed and walked over giving a smile.

"Shot anybody"? I asked.

"Oh I'll take one. Want one baby"? The blonde asked Kells.

He reached over and grabbed one himself. He downed the shot in seconds, his eyes still looking at me.

"Colson baby, want another one"? The blonde asked and he rolled his eyes.

Maybe he does hate being called that.

I walked off as he turned to the girls. I stopped infront of Travis.

"Shit that sold fast". He said.

I set the tray down and reached into my shirt, handing him the cash.

"You fit alot in there with such little room". He chuckled and I nodded.

"I manage alot". I giggled and started to fill more glasses.

"Hey". I turned to see Pete.

"Hey Peter. Having a good time"? Travis asked.

"Fuck yeah. The tequila is a conversion starter. I got about seven phone numbers". He said and took another shot from me.

"Did you see Kells kick that girl out"? He asked.

Travis turned to look at him and he was surprised.

"He kicked out Bebe"? Travis asked and Pete nodded.

"She called him Colson in front of his group over there. Hes pissed". Pete said and put his arm around me.

I shrugged him off as his quiet apology was heard. Travis laughed out loud and put the clipboard down.

"That's priceless. Nobody ever learns. Wasn't that her second chance"?

"Third". Pete laughed.

"So if you call him Colson he kicks you out"? I asked.

Travis stopped laughing and Pete turned to me.

"If you're sleeping with him and assume that you're that tight with him to call him Colson then that's your fuck up. Ive known him for years and I can't call him Colson". Pete said.

"So who calls him Colson"? I asked.

"Nobody. Himself maybe". Pete chuckled.

If it's his name why won't he let anybody call him it? It's stupid.

"That's stupid. It's his birth name not some sacred name, it's Colson. Pretty normal to me. Is it like Beetlejuice? Cant say it"? I giggled.

I watched Pete's eyes widened and looked away. I turned to see the man himself causing me to swallow hard.

"And what's your name"? Kells asked.

"A-Angel". I felt myself shut down.

He smirked and grabbed another shot from behind me, his body coming closer as he stood against the bar next to me.

"So you think my name is stupid"? He asked.

I shook my head quickly. "No sir. I just let my mouth speak for my brain". I said and looked down.

He downed the shot and turned to face the bar and leaned over that way he was closer.

"That could get you into alot of trouble Angel". He hummed. "Do you not know how to control the stupid that comes from your mouth"?

The smell of alcohol and his aftershave made my knees weak.

"I'm sorry". I mumbled.

He chuckled to himself and took a twenty out of his pocket and placed it in my shirt where my bra strap was. His fingers touched my skin and I shivered. He noticed and leaned over to speak into my ear.

"There are devilish thoughts, even in the most angelic minds sweetheart". He whispered. "Watch it". He then hissed.

When he backed away I finally could breath. I turned to Pete who was still shocked. I set the tray down and walked off to the back, just to breathe.

I'm sick of people talking down on me, making me feel like a child. Who the hell cares about him? One day the cocky attitude will be the reason he gets everything taken from him. He acts like this all because of a stupid name.

I seen Haley and stopped her. "Go to the front. I'll do this".

She nodded and handed me the box of beer. Three more hours and I can go home, as of right now I'll stay in the back, away from him.
