All Mye Queen's Men, Chronicles of Love - Volume I (97 page)

“
I
’
ve
buried
it
countless
times.
Unfortunately,
it
was
between
my
legs.
”

Jade
laughs.
“
Yeah,
you
’
re
right
about
that.
Well
maybe
it
will
be
alright
this
time.
”

“
Yeah,
maybe,
but
I
don
’
t
really
see
how.
”
Queen
said
unconvinced.
Before
Jade
could
respond
the
doorbell
rang.
“
That
’
s
probably
him
now.
”

“
Queen,
look
there
’
s
something
about
Teddy
you
need
to
know
…”
Jade
hesitates.

“
What?
Why
do
you
keep
skirting
around
this.
What
is
it?
”

Jade
blurts
it
out,
“
Teddy
has
a
girlfriend.
They
’
ve
been
dating
for
the
past
three
weeks.
”

Queen
stopped
dead
in
her
tracks
as
if
she
had
a
mini
stroke
or
something.

“
Queen
did
you
hear
what
I
said?
”

“
Yeah,
but
it
sounded
like
you
said
that
Bear
has
a
girlfriend.
But
that
’
s
crazy
shit.
Bear
hasn
’
t
had
a
girlfriend
since
the
seventh
grade.
”

“
I
know.
I
was
that
girl.
So,
you
know
that
I
know.
But,
he
has
one
now.
”

Queen
took
the
news
with
mixed
emotions.
She
couldn
’
t
quite
figure
out
why.
She
should
have
been
thrilled
that
Bear
found
someone
other
than
her
to
love.
 
But
she
couldn
’
t
find
a
way
to
believe
that,
that
was
possible.
Let
alone
be
happy
about
it.

“
Wow,
I
didn
’
t
see
that
one
coming.
”
She
mumbled.

“
I
can
’
t
believe
Logic
didn
’
t
mention
it.
Dorian
told
me
last
night.
I
figured
you
knew.
”

“
No
actually
he
didn
’
t
say
a
word.
”
Queen
tried
desperately
to
recover.
But
there
were
too
many
unanswered
questions.
“
Do
you
think
he
…”

“
What?
Do
I
think
he
’
s
in
love
with
her?
I
don
’
t
know.
But
if
he
is
it
’
s
going
to
be
a
dark
and
cold
day
in
hell
and
the
devil
is
shoveling
snow
and
giving
away
free
snow
cones.
”
Jade
laughed.
She
quickly
notices
that
Queen
doesn
’
t
find
it
a
laughing
matter
at
all.
“
Oh
shit!
No!
Look
Queen
…
get
your
shit
together.
Don
’
t
even
start.
Wipe
that
damn
look
off
your
face
right
now,
before
Logic
sees
it.
”

“
What
look?
”
Queen
asked
preoccupied
in
thought.

“
Don
’
t
make
me
put
your
hand
on
this
fuckin
stove
to
bring
your
ass
out
of
it,
because
I
will
do
it.
”

Queen
pops
back
to
reality.
“
Stop
being
so
damn
dramatic...
I
’
m
fine.
Let
’
s
go
meet
the
bitch.
”

“
Oh
hell!
Here
we
go.
”
Jade
groaned.

~*~*~

Somewhere
between
the
kitchen
and
the
living
room
Queen
regained
her
senses
and
found
her
damned
mind.
What
the
fuck
was
she
thinking?
Teddy
’
s
never
professed
his
love
to
any
woman
but
her.
So
what
if
he
was
falling
for
this
woman.
Queen
realized
that
she
should
be
the
happiest
person
on
the
planet
for
him.
Hell,
she
should
throw
his
ass
a
damn
party.
Then
it
hit
her-
that
was
exactly
what
Logic
was
doing.

“
Sneaky
little
prick!
He
’
s
just
trying
to
rub
my
face
in
this
shit
to
see
if
he
can
get
a
rise
out
of
me.
I
’
m
not
even
going
to
give
him
the
fucking
satisfaction.
If
he
really
wants
to
know
how
I
feel
about
Bear
then
he
needs
to
grow
some
balls
and
just
ask.
”
Queen
thought
to
herself.

As
she
entered
the
room
Queen
instantly
felt
the
intense
heat
of
everyone
’
s
eyes
on
her
poised
to
gauge
her
reaction.
To
be
honest
Queen
never
really
looked
at
the
girl.
Her
heart
melted
the
second
her
eyes
met
Teddy
’
s.
She
rushed
to
him
and
gave
him
a
big
warm
hug
and
a
gentle
kiss
on
the
lips.
Teddy
quickly
wrapped
his
arms
around
her
lifting
her
feet
off
the
floor
as
he
swung
her
around
like
a
rag
doll.
