I was scared about what would happen next. Joey was tranquil. Too tranquil. I was waiting for him to explode.
If he didnt, I would. I was angry for him. I knew Denzel wasn't crazy though, so there had to be something behind this. At least I hope there was.
"Lets go" Joey grabbed me pulling me out of the kitchen with him. He wanted to leave? With no explanation?
"Hear me out" Denzel pleaded chasing after us.
"Hear what? How you been smiling in my face for weeks knowing you pulled this shit?!" Joey yelled. Nicole came out of the kitchen with a weary dreadful look on her face. Joey looked at her. "I suppose you knew about this too?"
She nodded slowly with a nervous look on her face. Joey started laughing.
"Yall are really fake as fuck yo" he chuckled angrily. I stood awkwardly behind him. When I glanced at Nicole, she looked away quickly.
"Let me explain this man" Denzel begged.
Joey took a seat on the arm of the couch. "Go 'head. I wanna hear this fuckery."
Denzel sighed. "I had to man. About a week before the gallery opened, Shameik had his niggas jump the fuck out of me in the parking lot when I got home from teaching a class. One of them put a gun to my head and told me that if I wanted to live I had to do what they asked me to. I wouldnt have done it but they know where I live, aight? They could take my life. That shit don't matter. But they threatened to come for me AND Nicole. She's pregnant!"
My eyes widened. I was furious. Shameik was a fucking idiot. Denzel was held at gunpoint? Nicole was pregnant? What the fuck was going on?
Nicole was sobbing into her hands. Joey stood up. "You could have told me! Instead you sat here in my face for almost a whole fucking month lying!" Joey shouted at him.
"I didnt know how you would react."
"Where is my shit?" Joey asked him with his arms crossed.
"What?"
"Nigga you heard me. Where the fuck is my shit?!"
"I dont know. As I was bringing them out, they were putting them in a car and they took it with them. Shameik was saying something about burning them" Denzel shrugged.
"You know how much that meant to me!" Joey yelled at him.
Denzel nodded. "I know. Trust me I do. But what the fuck did you want me to do?"
"Hmmm, ion know. How about tell me the fucking truth off rip?!"
"Man fuck you. If you not gone be understanding get the fuck on. I'm not about to argue my reasoning with you. I did what I had to do. Thats it" Denzel said waving Joey off.
"Denzel.." Nicole started but he cut her off.
"Nah man. Fuck this nigga. Get the fuck out my house" he said nodding towards the door.
