Wait

Chapter two

Daniel's POV
I yawned and walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and poured myself some coffee.
I took a sip as I checked my phone.
Then I remember Joey's car does not work so he needs a ride.
I got the napkin out of my clothes from last night.
I put his number in my phone and called him.
He said "Who is this?"
I said "Hey Joey it's Daniel, do you need a ride to work?"
He said "Oh, no it's the weekend."
I said "Oh, right ok, do you want to come over?"
He said "Yeah, sure, I'll take the bus."
I said "Are you sure."
I heard him laugh softly under his breath and he said "Yes Daniel."
I said "Ok, see you soon."
He hung up the phone and I ran up to my closet and put on black khakis and a blue button up with a black tie.
Then I got a phone call I picked it up, it was one of my clients. They were wondering if I was still going to meet them.
I told them I would and then the bell rang.
I answered it and Joey was standing there in black ripped skinny jeans and a black T-shirt with black and red plaid button up and white slip on vans.
He said "So what's up?"
I said "I thought we could hang out today bust I have to meet a client, want to come?"
He said "Sure."
We got into my car and drove away from my house.
I said "You look cute, as always."
He said "Why do you always say that, I look like trash."
He could never look like trash he looks like an angel.
I said "Your right you do look like trash."
I heard him say "UH!"
I laugh and he laughs with me.
He says "So what are you doing for thanksgiving?"
I said "Oh I'm probably just going to stay at home."
He said "Want to meet my family, I mean I know it's early but they want to meet people I hang out with and stuff, and I think they will actually like you and I just want to know i-if you-."
I cut him off and said "Joey, I would love to, calm down ok."
I put my hand on his leg and started to rub it I saw him cam down a bit.
Once we got to the jail were my client was we got out.
They patted us down then we had to check in and we saw my client.
We sat down at this round table.
Joey sat next to me and I whispered to him and said "Don't say anything."
He nodded his head.
This man in chains came in and sat down. I saw Joey tense up, I could tell he was scared by the man.
We talked about what he was being convicted for, Joey just sat there and looked scared.
Once our session ended I took Joey's hand and said "Ready?"
He nodded.
Then my client said "Wait my lawyer is a fucking fag?"
Joey said "What about it?"
The man in chains stepped close to Joey and said "Thats disgusting."
Joey slapped him and said "Your sick, I hope you rot in hell."
Joey took the papers out of my hand and ripped them in half he took me by the hand and walked out.
Once we got into my car I said "Joey what the hell was that?"
I waited for him to answer me then I looked at him and he was crying.
I said "Joey?"
I got out of the car and picked him up and I put him in the back seat and I got in back with him.
He said "He's just like my dad."
I said "What?"
Joey said "He's homophobic and rude just like my dad."
I said "Then why do you want me to go with you for thanksgiving?"
He said "Because my dad said I will never find someone that is a nice gay man and they never become successful, they all end up killing the selves."
I said "What, that makes no sense."
He said "Exactly, I just want to prove my dad wrong, at least once."
I wiped the tears away from his eyes and he held my hand on his cheek.
I said "Joey, no one will ever talk to you that way again, as long as I'm around."
He grew a little smile on his face.
I said "Ready to go?"
He nodded his head and sniffed his nose.
We got into the front and we drove away.
