Chapter 7
CurfewHeavy knocks turned into loud steady banging. He calmly texted Nicki several times open the door but he was livid. He beat on the wooden door until his palm turned red. Once he realized she was ignoring his text he walked around to the back of the house and tried his key on the double French doors that led to the courtyard . It didn't work. After yanking on the knob he stared into the window. He saw Martha wiping down the kitchen counter , looking out the side of her eye at him. He signaled her over.
She looked around nervously and paced by the door a few a times before quickly unlocking it. Martha consciously avoided eye contact.
Meek: "WHERE SHE AT?!"
Martha kept quiet and pointed upward. She hurried off and took her cleaning supplies to the back.
He stormed up the staircase, jumping three steps at a time.
Meek: "NIC!" He yelled. She didn't answer.
Her assistant Tiana was standing in the hallway outside of Gold's open bedroom door. She jumped out of the way when she saw Meek charging toward her.
Meek: "SHE IN THERE?!" (Angrily)
She pressed her lips together shook her head no. He continued down the hall to their bedroom and violently flung the double doors open. By this time he was more pissed to be inside the house than he was outside.
He found Nicki in their bedroom closet, on a chair. Tears were flowing down her red puffy eyes. She was a mess.
He took a moment to catch his breath before he addressed her. Seeing her like that broke his heart but he couldn't help but to be upset. He kicked off his shoes and walked across the closet to her.
Meek: "yo what is wrong with you... (he begged)... Why you doing all this FOR?"
He sat and waited for her to respond and she took her time. Finally she said lowly.
Nicki: "I can't do this...."
Meek: "you CANT DO WHAT?" (His voice shrieked)
Nicki: (sniffling) "you need to go Rihmeek... Just go"She got up from her seat and walked away from him. Meek grabbed her by her wrist and Spun her towards him so they were face to face.
Meek: "what you walking away for .... Act like you see me standing here" (he said sternly)
Nicki pushed him off of her.
Nicki: (shaking her head) "I can't even look at you... how could you..!! "
The tears came rolling down her face. He panicked to calm her.
