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

by Lee, Brenda Stokes

  Queen unlocked the door to her dorm room to face her worst nightmare. Logic and her crazy ass cousin Mookey. She knew that it was going to be imperative that she maintain her cool. If not somebody was going to catch an ass whipping.

  "What up girl?" Mookey greeted Queen.

  "Hi Mookey." She answered as she eyed Logic who stood up to greet her with a box of long stem red roses and a big smile.

  "Hello Mye Queen."

  "Logic what are you doing here?" Queen takes the roses and tosses them on her bed.

  "I missed you. So I decided to come to Atlanta to see you. Did you miss me?" Logic asked as he attempted to hug Queen.

  To her surprise Paul pulled her back and stepped in front of her. "No. As a matter of fact she didn't."

  Logic and Paul stood face to face. Teddy leaned against the wall by the door watching Mookey to make sure he didn't intervene.

  Logic maintained eye contact with Paul. "Who is this Mye Queen?"

  Before Queen could answer Paul responded, "I'm her king."

  Logic laughed, "Really? Is that so?"

  "Yeah, that's so." Paul growled.

  "Look man, I didn't come here to get anything started. I just came to talk to my girl."

  "So go back to Baltimore and talk to her," Queen replied as she slipped from behind Paul to face Logic.

  "We need to talk Queen. Alone. I can explain."

  "That's not going to happen." Paul chimed in before Queen could speak.

  "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to my girl. I don't have a problem with you."

  "If you think that Queen is your girl, you're going to have a big problem with me. Queen's with me now. There ain't shit else to talk about."

  "So you not going to even have a conversation with me? Huh Queen? So that's how it's going to be? I drove from Baltimore to Atlanta for you to treat me like this? Just give me five minutes and I’ll leave. Queen, you owe me that much."

  "Queen, please just talk to him. You know I wouldn't have brought him if I didn't believe that he was sincere. Just hear him out." Mookey pleaded.

  Queen turns to Paul. "Look can you give me a minute. Let me just get it over with."

  "What? Hell no! Get your stuff so that we can go home."

  "Please? He's not going to leave until I do. Five minutes and then we'll go. Okay?"

  Before Paul could answer Teddy opens the door. "Come on man let's give her some space."

  Paul looked at Queen. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

  "I have to. It's not going to be over until I do."

  "OK I'll be right outside."

  "Queen, tell your boy to come with us." Teddy said as he nodded towards Mookey.

  "This is my cousin, Mookey, so be nice. Mookey this is my boyfriend Paul and my friend Teddy.

  "Hey what's up." Mookey greets Teddy and Paul with a dap. "Y’all got any cigarettes?"

  "Come outside with us Mookey so they can talk. Don't worry. I'll get you a pack of cigarettes." Teddy replied.

  "Queen, I’ll be outside if you need me." Mookey assured her as he left the dorm room with Paul and Teddy. "Good luck Logic."

  "Thanks man." Logic mumbled as he watched Queen who was obviously pissed off.

  Queen watched as Logic sat down on her bed and made himself comfortable. Looking like a triple scoop of Dutch Chocolate with a cherry on top he invited Queen to sit next to him.

  "You look beautiful as always. Come sit with me Mye Queen."

  Queen knew better than to get too close to Logic. So she decided to keep her distance and stand instead. "Logic what do you want?"

  "So, is that your boyfriend?"

  "I thought he established that fact."

  "Oh he said a whole lot of shit. The problem I'm having is that you still haven't said a damn thing. Is that suppose to be your man?"

  "Yes."

  "You fucking him?"

  "Look, what do you want to know?"

  "I just want to know one thing. Have you fucked him?"

  "Okay! Yes I'm fucking him. Yes it's good as hell. And hell no I don't want you back. So, what do you want from me?"

  "Queen, you just up and fuckin disappeared. One day we're in love. The next day you're gone. You could have at least let me explain."

  "You shouldn't have anything to explain Logic."

  "You're right, but unfortunately I do."

  "Okay so, explain to me how Asia got pregnant with your child while we were so in love. How did that happen, Logic?" Queen sarcastically asked.

  "You know how it works."

  "No I don't. Enlighten me."

  "Asia stopped by the house to pick up something from Tony. He wasn't there. One thing lead to another. Look, I don't love Asia. It was just sex. The shit just happened. It happened just one time. And for the record, I'm not Asia's baby daddy."

  "So that's your defense. You drove ten hours to tell me some simple ass shit like that. Well thank you. That clears up everything. Now I can finally go on with my fuckin life."

  "Look, I know you're mad. I'm not even tripping over you fucking Andre the Giant. I just want you back. We have one more year. After that we'll both go wherever you want to go. I promise. I just can't lose you. Shit has been crazy without you. I almost went crazy trying to find you. Your parents wouldn't even tell me where you were. I finally got Mookey to talk."

  "Logic, it's over. I told you it was over the last time we talked. I'm not going to change my mind just because you drove to Atlanta."

  "So what Queen, you fucked this guy and it's suppose to be over between us? He doesn’t love you. And he can't satisfy you like I can. Can he? You know that you love dark meat."

  "No Logic, you fucked Asia on and off while we were dating. You got her pregnant then lied to me about it. So, now it's over between us. Fucking Paul is just the French vanilla ice cream on my cherry pie."

  "I keep telling you that you're wrong about that. I fucked Asia once and that was it. I didn't even know Asia like that and you know that. What do I have to do to get you back? Queen, just tell me and I'll do it. I swear to God."

  "Build a time machine and travel back in time. But this time be a man of your word and never cheat on me, like you promised."

  "If there was any way that I could then you know that I would. But I can't so will you please just accept my apology?"

  "Okay fine. I accept your apology, but it doesn't change a damn thing between us."

  "Come here let me hold you one more time then."

  "Don't even think about touching me Logic."

  "I'm miserable without you Queen. I can't eat. I can't sleep. Hell, I can't even..."

  "Sounds like YOPFP to me." Queen quickly interrupts.

  "What?"

  "Y-O-P-F-P, Your Own Personal Fucking Problem."

  "Come on Queen. I can see that you're still in love with me. Give me another chance."

  "You're delusional."

  Logic laughs. "Really? You know how I can tell that you are still in love with me?"

  "Look Logic, you're not listening to me. It's over. I've moved on. Please just let me." Queen reasoned.

  "I can tell that you're still in love with me because you're still mad as hell. If you were really over me you wouldn't be as hostile as you are. Look it's not over between us. Asia didn't mean anything to me. It was just sex. In fact it was mediocre sex at best. Look, I fucked up! And I'm sorry. Why can't you believe me?"

  "Because you are a liar. No I take that back. You're a fucking liar."

  "What did I lie to you about Queen? What?"

  "You said you loved me."

  "I do love you Mye Queen. I've always loved you. And even though you're fucking around with somebody else I still love you. And I can prove it."

  "So what, Logic? It doesn't matter now. I'm done."

  "Ask me how I can prove it?"

  "I don't care anymore. Just leave me alone. Please?"

  "Just ask me how I can prove it."

  "Okay, I'll play along. How Logic? How can you prov
e that you still love me?" Queen sarcastically asked.

  "I transferred to FDC so I could be with you."

  "You did what? Who does that crazy as shit?" Queen asked shocked.

  "A man who is crazy about his Queen."

  "Oh my God! Please tell me that you're kidding."

  "No, I'm not kidding. I start class on Monday."

  "What the fuck were you thinking?"

  "I was thinking that I'm not willing to lose you to this bullshit. I was thinking that I missed being your King. I was thinking that I could win back your love. There's no Logic without his Queen." Logic's voice softens. "I'm going to try to be patient, but Queen, you got to roll that nigga out of my spot."

  "Logic, this shit is just not logical. What the fuck are you doing? What about your football scholarship?"

  "Let me worry about that. Queen, I know that I hurt you. And I know that it's going to be hard for you to trust me again. The only thing I ask is that you don't shut me out."

  "Logic, I really hope to God that you are bullshitting me."

  "Queen, I'm serious. I tried to give you some space and you used it to run away from me. So now I'm here. I rented a nice condo. So, when you're ready we can get you out of this dorm."

  Queen looked like she had just been sucker punched in her gut. Paul was fucking going to freak. How was she going to tell him that this nigga has followed her over eight hundred miles for some pussy.

  "Logic, I'm really trying to be civil, but I got to ask. Don't they have pussy in Maryland? Why in the hell did you follow me here? I left Maryland to get away from you. It's obvious that I'm just pussy to you. What the fuck?"

  Logic's handsome face bursts into a bright grin. "Calm down. You know that you're more than pussy to me. Yeah, there's a hell of a lot of ass in Maryland. But there's only one Queen for me."

  "Look, the bottom line is that I have a boyfriend. In fact you just met him. So none of this shit really matters."

  "So what? You can be fucking both those niggas. I don't even give a fuck. I'm here to get back what belongs to me and that's really all that matters."

  "Logic, I like him. Don't fuck this up for me with your bullshit."

  Logic smiles, "Yeah, but you don't love him. Because you're still in love with me. Aren’t you."

  "Whatever! There's no reasoning with you. Look, your five minutes are up. It's time for you to go. I got something I need to do." Queen answered as she walked to the door to show him out.

  "Fair enough. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. I'll go now that I know where to find you."

  Queen reserved comment. The confusion on her face was undeniable.

  Logic could sense Queen’s frustration. He knew she was hurt and confused, but he also knew that she still had a place in her heart that belonged only to him. With nothing left to say, he kisses her on her cheek. "I'm sorry I hurt you Mye Queen. It was not my intention. If you give me the opportunity I promise that I'll make it right."

  His kiss, though soft, sweet and gentle stung Queen's face. But not as much as the tears that flowed down her cheeks afterward She had been trying to hold them back from the moment she saw him.

  Seeing her cry touched Logic. "Queen please don't cry. I fucked up, but that doesn't mean that I'm not still in love with you. We can work this out. That's why I'm in Atlanta. We're going to work this out. I promise. Okay?"

  "Logic, I can't do this right now. Please do me a favor and just go." Queen answered as she tried to open the door.

  "I understand." Logic responded as he gently pushed the door closed. His body had Queen's pinned against the door. "I’m still in love with you Mye Queen." He confessed as he leaned down and kissed her lips.

  Queen did not move. Mesmerized by his intoxicating cologne and his pretty boy, Charm City charm she allowed him to suck her lips in his mouth. Sensing her surrender he introduced his tongue into her mouth and searched for her. He found it and their tongues did an old familiar dance, a soft dance that Queen had to admit that she missed.

  "Your lips still taste sweet as honey." His sexy voice whispered as he kissed her again.

  Finally Queen recovered and responded. "Yours still taste like Asia's pussy."

  Logic laughs. "Oh! You're funny."

  "And you're wasting my damn time! So, open the door." Queen said as she slips beneath his arms and quickly distances herself from him.

  "Okay Mye Queen, I understand. I won't over stay my welcome." Logic said as he opens the door to find the twin towers, Teddy and Paul standing at the door. Unmoved by their presence he walks between them as if they weren't even there. "I'll see you in class Mye Queen."

  Queen ignores the comment.

  "What the hell is he talking about Queen?" Paul asked?

  "I'll explain later." Queen responded as she watched with mixed emotions as Logic walked away.

  "Give me some love Cuz, I got to get back to Baltimore." Mookey said as he came in to give Queen a big hug and a kiss. As he wiped the lone tear that ran down her face he whispered in her ear, “He still loves you. Everything is going to be okay.”

  "How are you getting back home, Mookey?" Queen asked concerned.

  "Logic got me a plane ticket. I'm flying out in a couple of hours."

  "Okay well, give everybody my love and have a safe flight."

  "I will." He said as he hugged her tight. "You're not mad at me for bringing him here, are you?"

  "No, never."

  "Are you sure?"

  "Yeah I'm sure."

  "Alright I'll see you when you come home. Love ya."

  "Love you too." Queen responded as she kissed him goodbye.

  Obviously pissed, Teddy closed the door behind Mookey. "Please don't tell me that smug mother fucka is staying in Atlanta."

  "What's up Queen? What is this bullshit about seeing you in class?" Paul asked as he took a seat on her roommate’s bed waiting for an explanation.

  "Apparently, Psycho Bob has transferred to FDC. But, you know what? I can't even begin to process that bullshit. Give me a minute to get my shit, so I can get the fuck out of here!"

  Paul and Teddy remained silent as Queen quickly packed with purpose. It was quite evident that Logic had rattled her. But, it was even more obvious that she was pissed. They could see that she had been crying, but neither one of them said a word.

  Moments later there was a knock at the door. Teddy opened the door to find Jade.

  "Where is that bitch ass nigga?"

  "He's gone for now." Queen answered. "How did you know he was here?

  "Paul called me." Jade replied. "What do you mean for now?"

  "Don't even ask. I am so fucking mad I'm about to explode."

  "Apparently, your boy transferred to FDC." Teddy explained.

  "He did what?" Jade asked. "This mother fucka is crazy. I told you his ass had problems. I knew he wasn’t going to just let you walk away without a fight."

  Queen did not reply to Jade's assessment of Logic. Mainly because the thoughts in her brain had her head spinning at two hundred miles per hour. Trying to keep it all together she continued to pack at warp speed. Finally, as she zipped her last suitcase she thought to herself, "Why in the fuck did you let that bitch kiss you. What's wrong with you?"

  But Queen knew the answer to that question. She was still hopelessly in love with Logic in spite of his infidelity.

  CHAPTER 8

  Jade followed them home to help Queen decompress and unpack. She could tell that Queen was unraveling like a two dollar sweater from the clearance rack. Unsure of what to say or to do she simply asked, “So what are you going to do?

  "About what?"

  "Queen you know what I'm talking about. Don't try to play dumb, it's not becoming or pretty."

  "What can I do? Stay away from his ass is about all I can do at this point."

  "So, even if that were possible what is it going to accomplish. You know that he's going to come straight at you. He moved to Atlanta to get you back and he’s not going to make it easy for you t
o avoid him."

  "Don't remind me. Why in the hell can't he just leave me the fuck alone. I left the state to get away from him. Can't he take a damn hint?"

  "I told you that you should have officially ended it. Some niggas just can't take a hint. And that flamboyant, cocky nigga is convinced that he's God's gift to Queen. I would have loved to see his expression when Paul stepped to his ass and declared himself king."

  "Girl, you know Logic. He just laughed that shit off. Still, he was a little shocked to hear that I was screwing somebody else." Queen answered without thinking.

  "Come again. You're doing what?"

  Queen stopped in her tracks. She had forgot that Jade had no idea what went down between her and Paul.

  "You fucked Paul last night, didn't you? What did I tell you?"

  "No, in my defense I didn't fuck Paul last night. It was actually early this morning."

  "Semantics, it's the same damn thing Queen."

  "Jade, I was horny. He came in my room while I was sleep and… You act like you've never slept with somebody on the first date. I don't do that. The only other person I slept with on the first date was..." Queen stops mid sentence.

  "Was who? Finish the damn sentence Queen. Who was it?"

  "Okay, it was Logic."

  "Yeah, and how did that work out? I'll tell you how it worked out. That boy has you sprung like a broke ass clock. I could see the confusion in your face when I arrived. He fucked your shit up when he showed up. Didn't he?"

  "I'll admit that he threw me. But in retrospect I'm glad I slept with Paul. If not I don't know if I'd have the courage to resist Logic and pursue this thing with Paul."

  "That's the first thing I thought when Paul called me. I've seen firsthand how weak you are for Logic."

  "I can't believe he's here. I keep thinking that it's a dream."

  "It's a dream alright a damn nightmare." Jade interrupted. "I'm only going to say this once. Leave Logic's ass alone. He's going to do everything in his power to come between you and Paul."

  "I think he's already accomplished that mission. Well, he’s at least planted a seed of doubt. Paul's different."

  "How so?"

  "He seems distant and guarded now. I don’t think he trusts me. Not to mention he’s mad as hell."

  "Queen, why wouldn't he be. Who the hell follows a woman across four states for some damn pussy? He knows that Logic's still in love with you. What he doesn't know is how you feel about Logic. Matter of fact, go up stairs and talk to him right now. Judging by the expression on his face you got a lot of damage control to do."
