All Mye Queen's Men, Chronicles of Love - Volume I (7 page)

"There
wasn't
any
room
at
my
apartment,
so
she
didn't
have
a
lot
of
options,"
Jade
chimed
in.
 
"She
had
to
stay
somewhere."

"Yeah
well
we'll
deal
with
that
later.
 
Tonight
we're
going
to
celebrate."

"You
can
stay
with
us."
Teddy
offered.

"Us
as
in
who?"
Queen
asked.

"Me
and
Paul.
 
We
have
an
extra
bedroom.
 
You
can
have
your
own
bathroom
and
everything."

"Oh
hell
to
the
naw
-
naw
-naw!"
Queen
responded.

"Think
about
it.
 
You
don't
have
to
decide
right
now.
 
We'll
talk
about
it
later,"
Paul
interjected.

"Yeah,
a
few
years
from
now,
maybe.
 
I
am
not
moving
in
with
you
two!"
Queen
replied
even
though
no
one
paid
any
attention
to
what
she
had
to
say.

"Is
that
room
furnished?"
Jade
asked.
   

"It's
furnished
but
we'll
have
to
redecorate
it
for
her.
 
"She's
going
to
love
it."
Paul
responded.

"I
am
not
moving
in
with
you."
 
Queen
repeated.

"Queen,
don't
look
a
gift
horse
in
the
mouth?
 
They
have
an
extra
room
and
you
need
a
place
to
stay.
 
Besides,
you're
a
grown
ass
woman.
 
Do
you
really
want
to
deal
with
a
dorm
full
of
bitches
that
don't
like
you
and
a
one
o
’
clock
house
curfew?"

"Uhhh,
you're
not
going
to
make
that
curfew
tonight,"
Paul
replied.

"What?
 
Why?"
Queen
asked
confused.
 

"Welcome
to
the
house
roomy,"
Teddy
laughed.

"What
am
I
stuck
in
an
episode
of
the
damn
Twilight
Zone?
 
What
the
hell?
 
I
am
not
moving
in
with
you
two
niggas!"

Teddy
laughed
even
harder.

Paul's
not
so
fancy
Townhouse
was
anything
but
modest.
 
The
fairly
new
three
story
home
was
huge.
 
It
had
two
master
bedroom
suites,
and
another
suite
with
a
private
bath
and
entrance
on
the
lower
level.
 
Paul
and
Teddy
occupied
the
two
upstairs
suites
and
offered
Queen
the
suite
on
the
lower
level.

"Let
me
show
you
to
your
room."
Paul
joked
as
he
lead
Queen
down
a
short
flight
of
stairs.

It
was
no
surprise
that
the
room
was
absolutely
gorgeous.
 
Though
decorated
with
a
masculine
flavor
the
room
was
quite
charming.
 
As
she
looked
around
and
ventured
into
the
large
private
bath
she
knew
that
other
than
her
two
roommates
this
place
was
perfect.

"So
what
do
you
think?"
Paul
asked.

"You
have
a
beautiful
home."
Queen
replied.

"Okay,
but
do
you
like
the
room?

Queen
turned
and
looked
at
Paul
and
asked,
"Do
you
like
me?"

"What?"

"Do
you
like
me?
 
Are
you
interested
in
going
out
with
me?"

"Of
course
I
am.
 
I
thought
we'd
already
established
that
point
when
I
asked
you
out."
Paul
answered
confused.

"Then
I
don't
think
that
it's
a
good
idea
that
I
stay
here."

"Why?"

"Because
it's
not
going
to
work.
 
I
think
this
will
do
more
to
separate
us
than
to
bring
us
closer.
 
Right
now,
you
don't
really
know
me
and
I
don't
really
know
you.
 
Besides
do
you
really
want
to
ruin
a
perfect
bachelor
apartment
by
housing
your
girlfriend
in
the
basement?"

"So,
you're
my
girlfriend?"
 
Paul
said
as
he
moved
closer
violating
Queen's
personal
space.

"No,
but
sooner
or
later,
probably."
 
Queen
said
as
she
stood
her
ground,
anticipating
a
kiss.

"Oh
yeah?
 
What
about
now?"
 
Paul
said
as
he
sampled
Queen's
lips
with
a
gentle,
seductive
kiss.

"Now
might
be
okay."
 
Queen
mumbled
as
she
sought
another
kiss
from
Paul's
soft
lips.
 
"Just
one
question."

Paul
sucks
her
bottom
lip
in
his
mouth
before
responding.
 
"What
do
you
want
to
know?"
He
asks
as
he
tilts
her
chin
so
that
he
could
look
into
her
eyes.

Queen
instantly
gets
lost
in
his
hazel
eyes.
 
Words
wouldn't
come.
 
Suddenly
the
question
didn't
matter
because
the
answer
would
not
change
the
fact
that
she
wanted
him.

"So
what
did
you
want
to
ask
me?"

"It's
not
important
and
I'm
not
sure
if
I
really
want
to
know
the
answer."

"No,
ask
me."

Queen
sighs,
"Okay,
so
where's
your
Red
Sonja?"

"My
what?"
Paul
laughed.

"You
know
what
I'm
talking
about.
 
Where's
your
girlfriend?"

Paul
smiled,
"Red
Sonja's
not
really
Teddy's
girl.
 
They're
more
like
friends
with
special
benefits.
 
As
you've
probably
guessed
he's
got
a
few
or
those.
 
But
to
answer
your
question
I'm
single
right
now."

"What
about
friends?"

"No,
my
friends
are
just
that,
friends."

"I
just
don't
want
any
crazy
ass
drama.
 
I
got
a
heavy
workload
and
I
really
wanted
to
just
by-pass
the
boyfriend
thing."

"So,
how's
that
working
for
you?"

"It
was
working
fine
until
you
came
along,"
Queen
laughed.
 
"But
seriously,
I'd
like
to
keep
this
light.
 
I'd
love
to
hangout
and
have
a
good
time.
 
But,
in
the
end
I'm
going
to
Medical
School
and
you're
going
to
the
NFL,
so...
I
don't
know
where
this
can
go."

"We
can
roll
slow
for
a
while,
but
I
got
to
ask
just
one
thing
of
you."

"What's
that?"

"I'm
a
football
player.
 
I
play
enough
games.
 
I
just
need
you
to
be
straight
with
me.
 
I
don't
want
to
play
games.
 
Whether
it's
for
six
months
or
six
years
I
need
you
to
be
full
on
for
me
and
only
me.
 
Can
you
do
that
for
me?"

"I'm
willing
to
go
all
in,
but,
I
swear
if
you
get
me
out
there
and
hurt
me...
 
Look,
Medical
School's
important
to
me.
 
Please
don't
fuck
over
me
and
fuck
that
up
for
me."
