All Mye Queen's Men, Chronicles of Love - Volume II, page 4
“Logic I haven’t been with Teddy. We broke up after we got started.”
“Get the fuck off me Sam! None of this is my problem. You better find that other nigga you’ve been fuckin, then! I haven’t even touched your ass in almost two months, and I used a rubber every single time I did.”
“You know that condoms are not 100% effective.”
“Yeah, but you said you were on the patch and shit. In fact you tried to get me to go in raw.”
“I was at first, but I had to come off for a while because…”
“Because of what? Didn’t you think that this was important information to share? You know what? This conversation is over. I see what this shit is really about. I’m out. I’m not going to even buy into this stupid ass bullshit you’re trying to pull. Don’t fuckin call my number no more and I mean that shit.”
Teddy had watched Logic get ambushed by Sam and he knew exactly what their heated debate was about. He quickly went over to try to diffuse the situation before Queen caught a whiff of what was going on. Unfortunately he was too late. Queen followed in close tow behind him.
“Bear, what are they fighting about?” She asked as she ran to catch up to Teddy.
“Nothing, go back to the table I’ll straighten everything out.” Teddy calmly replied unable or unwilling to make eye contact with Queen.
“Bear, what’s going on?”
“Queen, please just go back to the table and let me deal with this.” Teddy pleaded as he attempted to break them up before it got uglier.
Queen was dumbstruck as she watched Teddy physically pull Sam away from Logic as Logic screamed, “What the fuck ever! You better not call me no more you skank as trick!”
Only to hear Sam retaliate, “I wasn’t a skank as trick when you were sucking my clit!”
Seconds later she felt Jade tugging on her arm. “Come on, walk away.”
Dorian ran pass her and grabbed Logic, who was following Teddy and Sam screaming a string of obscenities and profanities that would shame a sailor. Dorian attempted to whisk him outside to calm him down, but Logic wasn’t having it.
“Look Dorian, get the fuck off of me. Where’s Queen?” He retorted as he snatched away from Dorian to look for Queen, only to find her less than ten feet away watching the whole heated fiasco. Their eyes met briefly and Queen quickly turned and walked briskly away.
“Queen! Let me talk to you!” He shouted as Dorian and a Lineman from the Archangels pulled him outside. “Queen! Please just hear me out. Queen! Talk to me!”
Queen ignored him as she walked at warp speed to where Teddy took Sam. Jade’s short legs struggled to keep up, but somehow she managed. “What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to beat the shit out of both those bitches, starting with Sam.”
“Okay, but where are you going now?” Jade asked trying to be the voice of reason.
“I’m going to find Miss Rainbow Coalition and fuck her shit up!”
Jade could see the determination in Queen’s face and she knew that there would be no reasoning with her. Stevie Wonder could see that she was fuckin pissed. Still she had to at least try. “Queen, let’s go to your suite so you can calm down, before you do something that you’ll regret. Sam’s probably gone by now anyway.”
“No she’s not. There’s no exit back there and I know exactly where Bear took her.”
“Queen, what’s the point. It’s over. Logic doesn’t want Sam. You heard it for yourself. Stop and think about what you’re doing. It’s just not worth it.”
“You’re right about one thing. It is so over between Logic and me.”
“Why Queen, because he fucked up once? Come on you got to give him one, especially since you have two men right here in his face. Don’t do this tonight. I’ll stay here with you and we’ll talk it out. Don’t even say shit to him tonight.”
“I’m not saying shit to Logic tonight. I’m just going to beat his bitch ass and then I’m out!”
“Queen think about it. You fucked Teddy upstairs while Logic was waiting for you down here. Cut him a fuckin break. God knows he’s cut you quite a few. You owe him at least one pass.”
“I owe Logic a fuckin ass whipping and if he gets anywhere near me he’s going to get the opportunity to collect. Jade, how is he going to call me a hooker knowing that he fucked that nasty ass tramp, just to get back at Bear? Fuck him!” Queen exploded as she increased her speed and her stride leaving Jade scrambling to catch up.
~*~*~
Queen quickly lost Jade in the virtual maze of cordials that led to a secluded room which was off limits to the party people. She could hear Teddy and Sam conversing as she closed in. Sam appeared to be crying and somehow blaming everything on Teddy.
“If you hadn’t been off fucking your little whore at the NFL Draft none of this shit would have ever happened.”
“Queen’s not a hoe. And I told you that I was not the type of nigga to have a steady girl when you met me. You knew that I fucked around with other women.”
“Seems to me the only other woman that you was fucking was your precious Queen.”
“So what? That doesn’t change the fact that you fucked around with Logic.”
“I did it to get back at you!”
“You fucked Logic because you wanted to! Plus that was damn near a year ago. You didn’t get pregnant that night and nobody made you keep going back, so what the fuck ever.”
“Teddy I love you! Why can’t you get that!”
“Hey, whatever. All I know is that you’d better get your shit together so I can get your ass out of here before Queen catches up to you.”
“Fuck Queen!”
Call it perfect timing or extremely bad timing, but the only thing that Queen heard was, “Fuck Queen!”
Teddy whose back was to the door did not hear or see Queen as she raced past him, grabbed Sam by her long hair and wrestled her ass to the floor. Straddling her Queen prepared to beat the shit out of her. As her fist hammered down to strike the first blow to Sam’s beautiful face Teddy tackled Queen knocking her to the floor.
“Queen no! Don’t hit her she’s pregnant!”
Angry, dazed and confused Queen struggled to be free of Teddy’s weight which was pinning her down. “Get the fuck off of me Bear!”
“No, you can’t hit her. They’ll lock you up. Sam’s pregnant.”
“She’s pregnant? Bear… You slept with this trick without protection. Oh come on!” Queen complained as she shoved him off of her in disgust. “Get off of me! I can’t even fucking believe you!”
Teddy hesitated before breaking the real bad news. “Queen I haven’t slept with Sam in over five months. The baby’s not mine.” He solemnly confessed.
It seemed as if time stopped as Queen processed the information. When the analysis was complete she was devastated. She looked at Sam who was struggling to get to her feet and asked. “Are you supposed to be pregnant by Logic?”
“Yes! So you might as well get use to me, because your fiancé is my baby daddy.”
“What makes you think that he’s still my fiancé?” Queen retorted as she looked to Teddy for confirmation that Logic was the father.
Teddy simply shook his head. “I don’t know. All I know is that it’s not mine. You have to talk to Logic.”
Queen drew a deep cleansing breath as she stood to her feet and dusted off her dress. She looked at Sam with such disdain that Teddy thought she was going to kill her. He quickly moved between the two to separate them. “Queen, don’t do it. It’s not even worth it.”
“You are so fuckin lucky that you are knocked up or I would beat the brakes off of your supercilious stupid ass.”
Sam sensing that she was suddenly safe from further harm chimed. “Fuck you Queen! That’s what you get for fucking my man! You fucked mine and I fucked yours!”
Queen’s blood was boiling hot, it was a wonder that steam did not vent from her nostrils. Somehow she managed to maintain her composure and completely ignore Sam. She casually turned to Teddy and said, “Do me a favor and get this pregnant roach out of my house before I stomp her fuckin ass.”
Teddy snickered. “You got it. Where can I find you when I am done?”
Queen looked at the concern for her in Teddy’s eyes. She grabbed his face and kissed him hard in the mouth. “Give me some time. I’ll call you after I process all of this and get my shit together.”
Queen walked out and Teddy pursued her into the hallway. “Queen don’t fuckin pull away from me now.” He pleaded. “Just stay here and wait for me in your suite.”
“Bear, I can’t. Besides, I don’t want you to be the rebound guy.”
“Queen I don’t give a shit about that!”
“Just let me go and I promise I’ll come back to you.”
“When Queen, after you’re done fuckin around with that white boy downstairs?”
“That’s not fair Bear! None of this is about you. I know you don’t understand it right now but we have to put some time and space between us. Anyway, Logic’s going to need you. You’re his best friend. I don’t want him to lose both of us.”
“Queen, don’t leave with Xtra or whatever his fuckin name is. I swear to God… if you really love me you’ll wait here until I get back.”
“This has nothing to do with how I feel about you. You know I love you. After all this time you have to know that. Just give me some time. Okay?”
Teddy pulled Queen in his arms and hugged her as tight as he could and whispered in her ears. “You and I are like junkies. You need me as much as I need you. So don’t make me wait for my fix too long.”
Queen could feel Bear’s manhood swell from their closeness. She so wished that she could stay with him, but she knew that it’d never work. Logic would never forgive either one of them. His lips sampled hers and she could not resist. Consumed with the thought that he may never have a chance to kiss her again Teddy grabbed Queen by her hair and sucked her tongue deep within his mouth. She gave in to his passion, his touch and his intimate embrace one last time.
“You two fuckin hoes deserve each other.” Sam mumbled afraid to piss Queen off any further.
Queen heard her but again chose to ignore her. “I wish I could stay, but I can’t. Just give me a little time.”
Teddy knew what that meant, but he dared challenge the issue any further. She had been through enough. So he simply conceded, “Alright, I’ll be here.”
Queen glanced over at Sam who pretended to not be upset by their open display of affection. “And for God’s sake, please take out the trash. The stench is gagging me.”
Teddy tried not to laugh. “Will do Mye Queen. Let’s go Sam. I’ll make sure you get home safe.”
Chapter 4
Queen returned to the VIP area to find Jade waiting for her with X. The party had continued and even picked up momentum despite their little fiasco. Dorian and Logic had returned and were at the bar nursing a couple of beers. Logic spotted Queen and immediately went over to meet her.
“Queen can I talk to you for a minute?”
“Sure.” She answered with a eerie coldness that chilled his soul. “X I’ll be ready to leave when I get back.”
“Whenever you’re ready Mye Queen.” X responded.
Logic pretended that he didn’t hear them.
Queen allowed Logic to take her hand and lead her outside to an isolated spot on the patio. Though they walked in silence Queen could sense that he was pretty shaken. Torn up by the events of the night Queen had resolved to not turn their talk into a confrontation.
“Baby we need to talk.”
“Okay, let’s talk.”
Logic had already admitted to fucking around and she had already forgiven him. In retrospect she should have asked with who, at least she could have vented her fury that he slept with Sam. But she didn’t so now she just had to eat this big juicy monkey shit sandwich that Logic was about to serve her.
She had sincerely resolved in her spirit to be forgiving, loving and supportive. Queen had prepared herself to hear what she had already figured out. But nothing could have ever prepared her to hear what Logic had to say.
“So what was all that about?” She calmly asked.
“I don’t know where to start.” Logic replied as he rubbed his head as if that would prevent it from exploding.
“Okay, so I guess it’s safe to assume that you slept with Sam.”
“Queen I…”
“I didn’t ask for an explanation. I’m just stating the obvious. What’s not obvious is what provoked you to act like that in front of everyone including me?”
Logic could hardly look at Queen. He had been in this exact same position before and it didn’t go well. He knew that babies were a deal breaker for Queen. She’d allow a fuck up or two, especially when she was fucking up herself but baby mama drama was where she drew the line.
Logic couldn’t even say it. He couldn’t bear the thought of loosing Queen again. Not knowing what else to do he did what he wanted to do. He grabbed Queen and kissed her with all the resolve and passion that he had. Little did he know that given the present circumstances to Queen it felt like the kiss of death.
“Are you in love with her?” She asked as their lips parted.
“Hell no! She was just my dumb ass way of getting pass the fact that you were sleeping with Bear. I barely fucked her four times and the shit was mediocre at best.”
“Is she in love with you?”
“Queen, she doesn’t love me. Hell she didn’t even love Teddy. She’s just a trick looking for a rich dick. How the fuck could I be so fuckin stupid?”
“So, what was the fight about? Was she upset because you told her that it was over?” Queen already knew the answer, but she needed to hear it from him.
“The shit never got started. She gave me a blow job the night of the Draft. I was drunk and she convinced me that you and Teddy were somewhere fucking and my stupid ass believed her and let her blow me.”
Queen reserved comment as Logic continued to give a blow by blow fuckin confession. “Then she surprised me in Vegas a month later. After that, she showed up once or twice more before I told her that I loved you too much to do that to you.”
“So when was that?” Queen swallowed hard as a lump begin to form in her throat.
“Two months ago.”
“Two months ago?”
“Yeah, I hadn’t heard from her since then. Then tonight she showed up talking this crazy ass shit that she was going to tell you that she…” Logic hesitated.
“Tell me what?”
“Queen I swear to God I used protection.”
“Logic… Fuck! How could you be so damn irresponsible? Why couldn’t you just strap up?” Queen asked as she begin to unravel.
“Queen, I did and she said she was on the patch. I even checked for the damn patch. The bitch was just playing me and Teddy for that matter.”
Queen slumped down into the first chair she could find. Knowing that all of this shit was her fault she really couldn’t go postal and beat the shit out of his dumb ass like she really wanted to. Faced with the sobering fact there was no one to blame for this predicament but herself Queen did the only thing she could do, absolutely nothing.
Logic attempted to comfort her by hugging her and holding her tight, but his touch felt foreign to Queen and it oddly burned her skin like acid. She wanted to pull away, but deep down she knew that Logic needed to be held just as much as she did. So she endured the discomfort and clung to him in silence as tears of failure raced down her face.
Yes tears of failure. Queen had one job and one job only in their relationship and that was to keep her fifty million dollar man happy and satisfied. Did he ever complain? Hell no! Was he completely satisfied? Hell Yeah! Was he happy? Not as happy as he would have been if Queen hadn’t been fucking around with Teddy?
“Look we’re going to get through this. I don’t think she’s really pregnant and if she is I’m convinced that it’s not mine. And even if it is mine we’ll survive. I just want to know one thing.” Logic knelt on one knee before Queen to wipe her face. “Queen look at me.”
But Queen couldn’t look at him. Not only could she not look at him she wasn’t sure that she’d ever look at him the same again. Her head felt like it was going to sloth off, and everywhere he touched her was on fire and not in a good way. Every fiber of her being just wanted to run the hell out of there and never look back. “Damn, how did I fuck this up?” She thought.
“Mye Queen look at me. I need to ask you something?” Logic persisted.
“What Logic?” She responded, still holding her head in her hands, trying to stop it from throbbing.
“Will you marry me?”
“What?” She asked puzzled as she looked up to find Logic presenting her with the biggest diamond she had ever seen.
“Everything went wrong tonight and when I say everything I mean everything. I’m sorry about it all, from the comment about sucking dick to inviting X here and of course Sam. I’m sorry. And I hope you will let me make it up to you. Can you forgive me?”
“Yes.” Queen sighed.
“Look, I’ve been trying to find the right time to ask you this all night, but everything and everybody just kept getting in the way. Mye Queen I love you more than I love life. So, in the mist of all this confusion and chaos that went down tonight, I’m asking you again, will you marry me?”
Queen stared at the humongous diamond ring that Logic presented her for what seemed like an eternity. After carefully assessing everything that happened since they arrived, including her quickie with Teddy, Queen came to a sobering decision that her engagement to Logic was a sham. She couldn’t continue to live a lie and hurt him in the process. So she wiped her eyes, took a big cleansing breath and removed her previous engagement ring from her finger. Queen slipped the ring on the tip of Logic’s pinky finger. Anticipating that her answer was yes he smiled and kissed her hand when she was done.
“Logic I’m sorry, but I can’t do this. I just can’t… at least not right now.” Queen confessed as she closed the ring box that Logic held in his trembling hand.
“What? What are you talking about?”
