  "I'll go when we're done. I can't deal with it or him right now."

  "No, you'll go right now. I got this. Go find Paul and just tell him what's up."

  “Jade how can I tell him what’s up when I don’t even know what’s up myself?”

  “Do you want to be with him?”

  “Yeah, I wanted to, but I don’t think it’s going to work. He thinks I’m playing games with his heart and shit. If he doesn’t trust me then we’ll just be wasting each other’s time.”

  “Just go up stairs and talk to the man. Stop jumping to conclusions.”

  Reluctantly Queen goes upstairs to talk to Paul. As she enters the great room she finds Teddy watching the game. "Bear, where's Paul?"

  Teddy scratches his balls and motions upstairs with the remote control. "He's in his room I guess."

  "Thanks."

  "So what's up with you and that fool? Are you still in love with him or what?"

  "Can I talk to Paul about that first?"

  "Good luck with that shit. He's fuckin pissed."

  "About what?"

  "Talk to him and find out." Teddy replied as he channel surfed during the commercials.

  "Sounds to me like he's not the only one who’s pissed." Queen said as she climbed the stairs to the bedroom.

  "Whatever. I would have just beat that bitches ass if you were mine." Teddy grumbled.

  Queen ignores the comment and continues upstairs. Uncertain which room Paul was in she knocked on the first door she came to. "Paul, it's Queen. Can I come in?"

  There was no answer so she moved to the next door. "Paul, it's Queen."

  To her surprise the first door she knocked on opens up. She enters the room to find Paul stretched out on the king size bed watching the same game that Teddy was watching. He continues to watch the game and nurse a bottle of imported beer as Queen sits beside him on the bed.

  "Is this a bad time to talk? I can come back after the game goes off if you want me to," She offers.

  "Depends on what you want to talk about. What's up?" He asked as he puts down the beer and cuts off the TV.

  "I'm sorry about all the confusion today."

  "What confusion?"

  "With Logic showing up and stuff."

  "Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything."

  "I didn't get a chance to completely explain my situation before all this went down. So, it's understandable that you're a little pissed."

  "I'm not mad at you. I get it. Hell if you left me without a word I'd come looking for you too."

  "Believe me that's not how it went down. A lot of words were said. Unfortunately, Logic didn't want to hear or believe any of them."

  "So, are you still in love with him?"

  "Can I be honest with you."

  "Yeah, please do."

  "I'm still sorting things out. I know that I love him, but I'm no longer sure if I'm in love with him. I left my heart wide open for him and he stabbed me in it. The wound's still pretty deep. But, it's over and I really was looking forward to moving on with you."

  "So what's stopping you?"

  "Nothing I hope."

  "So is he the reason that you wanted to keep things light?"

  "No, what he did to me is the reason. It's not going to be easy for me to put myself out there and trust someone else right now. But, I made a promise to you that I wouldn't hold back and I plan to keep that promise. I just need you to do the same."

  "What do you mean?"

  "Don't pull away from me. That's exactly what he wants."

  "Queen I'm not going to retreat. I realize that I have something he wants, but he's not going to get it. On the other hand he has something that I want and I'm not going to stop until I get it."

  "What's that?"

  "Your heart."

  "That's not true. He doesn’t have my heart. My heart is still here. Unfortunately it's shattered in a million and one tiny pieces. But if you can fix it, it's yours for the taking."

  Paul pulls Queen into him for a kiss. She samples his lips before giving in to his tongue which sought entry into her mouth. His kiss is hot and wet but incredibly sweet. Queen knew instantly that if anyone could keep her from the grips of Logic that it was this man.

  "Don't fuck over me with him, Queen." He whispered as he kissed her on her forehead.

  "I promise I won't," she mumbled as she rolled on top of him. As she tasted his lips she searched his eyes to see if he wanted her. She didn't have to wait long for her answer. He quickly flipped her on her back and made love to her like they were the only two people in the world. Their bodies comforted each other and forged a bond that day that would prove to last for an eternity.

  CHAPTER 9

  Monday morning as Paul and Queen pulled into the campus parking lot, the first person they saw was Logic. Tall, dark, handsome and charismatic it wasn't hard to figure out why Logic was surrounded by an entourage of hopeless, giddy, lovesick, girls, hanging on to his every word. With half the women on campus on him like fresh meat you would think he had enough pussy on his plate to choose from. Apparently not, because he blew Queen's phone up all weekend long.

  Suddenly, she wished she had just returned his calls. "How in the hell did this ass wipe get my phone number in the first place? And why is he coming over here?" Queen thought to herself as Logic headed towards Paul’s Escalade.

  "What the fuck does this mother fucker want?" Paul growled as he watched Logic and his band of She Monkeys approach.

  "I don't know, but he called me at least ten times last night. Queen replied as she watched him dismiss his kennel.

  "Called you for what? How the fuck did he get your number? Queen, I swear I will break my foot off in his damn ass if I he doesn't back the fuck back from you. I’m serious."

  "Calm down. I thought we talked about this last night. Wait here, I'll get rid of him." Queen responded as Logic attempted to open the passenger door, which was still locked.

  "Get rid of his ass quick Queen. You know I cannot stand that bitch. I can't fuckin believe you gave him your number." Paul snarled as he hit the power locks releasing the lock on her door.

  "Paul… I didn't give him my number. He must have gotten it from Shanta my roommate.” Queen tried to explain as her door opened.

  "Good morning Mye Queen. Let me help you out. What's up man?" Logic said as he extended a hand to help Queen out of the truck.

  "Fuck you!" Paul snarled under his breath as he turned his head and looked out his window.

  "What's the problem Logic?" Queen asked as she got out of the truck, shutting the door behind her.

  "You're looking beautiful as usual." He flirted as he eyed her curves before his eyes locked on her breast.

  "Why did you call me Logic? What’s wrong?" She quickly cut him off becoming irritated.

  "Nothing's wrong I just called to see if you'd let me take you out to a dinner or something. You do realize that you are the only person that I know in Atlanta, don't you?" He said as he took Queen's hand in his.

  Queen studied him carefully as he spoke. Logic was a little over six foot two inches tall with a sleek, lean, well defined muscular frame. Sexy smile, brilliant white teeth, and smooth skin the color of warm coco made him absolutely irresistible. He definitely was a heart stopper. Logic was and always had been fine as hell. Fine or not, she definitely was no longer interested. He had hurt her once and she was not about to give him a second opportunity to do it again.

  "Look Logic, I am flattered, that you came all this way to woo me back, but I already told you I'm seeing Paul. So, thanks, but no thanks." Queen answered as she casually freed her hand from his grip.

  "Trouble in paradise I see. He looks pissed the fuck off." Logic laughed.

  "As a matter fact he is. He's pissed at you. He doesn't like your ass. Go figure." Queen arrogantly responded.

  "I can't say that I give a good shit. But I don't want to create any problems for you. So, let me know when you're ready to talk." Logic said as he leaned in an
d kissed Queen on her cheek. "I'll see you in class." He whispered in her ear as he noticed Paul getting out of the truck.

  "Queen! Are you finished?" Paul growled as he walked around the truck and Logic walked away. "What did that bastard want? As if I don't already know?"

  "Something that he can't have." Queen assured Paul.

  "Queen, let me explain something to you. Me and that nigga are just like oil and vinegar. We don't mix. So do me a huge favor and say or do whatever it takes to keep him out of your face."

  "I'm doing the best that I can. Sooner or later he'll get the message that I'm with you."

  "And you think that's going to stop him. He knows that you are with me. Queen, that fucka is still in love with you. Knowing that we're together is only going to make him come after you harder." Paul snapped. "I'm not fucking having it!"

  "Paul, I'm not going after Logic. So, stop putting this shit on me. You act like it's my fault. I’m not going to fight with you every time he comes around. We can just end this bullshit now if that’s how it’s going to be." Queen snapped back.

  "Look, I'm just tripping. I'm sorry." Paul said as he pulled Queen into his arms and softly kissed her lips before sucking her tongue deep into his throat. Forgive me? "

  "Sure. No harm, no foul. Besides, we can't start fighting every time somebody says something to one of us. If we do we won't make it off the parking lot." Queen smiled before kissing him on the lips.

  "Oh, get a room you two." Teddy complained as he walked towards them.

  "Hello, Mye Queen." Teddy greeted as he pretended to bow.

  "Hey, Bear."

  "What's up man?" Teddy asked as he slapped Paul's hand and gave him some dap.

  "My foot up that faggot Logic's ass. If he doesn't stay the fuck away from Queen."

  "You still worrying about that dick?"

  "Naw, man. As soon as I pulled up that punk ass bitch comes over to my truck and steps to Queen. He just don't know, if it wasn't for Queen I would have drilled him a new asshole with the tip of my foot."

  "Stop letting that nigga get to you. He's not worth the stress." Teddy advised.

  "Yeah maybe, but that little bitch even had the audacity to kiss Queen right in front of me. If that fucka keeps playing pussy he is going to get fucked up. The next time I catch him in her face I'm going to catch a charge."

  "You let that nigga kiss you in front of Paul?" Teddy confronted Queen amazed. "Simply scandalous."

  "Whatever, Bear. It was just a good bye peck on my cheek. I didn't know he was going to do it. So mind yours."

  "You are my business." Teddy retaliated. "Look, man let that shit go. Queen doesn't want his bitch ass anymore. She’s with you now."

  "I know, but I'm not going to let him keep disrespecting me and shit. He got one more time and we're going at it."

  "Stop letting him get to you like that. I know you're not going to like this, but sooner or later I need to have a serious conversation alone with him..." Queen interjected.

  "Yeah, that's not going to happen. You've already said everything he needs to know. I'm the one that needs to talk to his ass now." Paul cuts her off.

  “Let me have five minutes with that little pussy. I bet he’ll stay out of her face then. And Queen you need to stay away from him.”

  "So, you two are just going to treat me like I'm five years old and shit?"

  They ignore her and continue to talk amongst themselves. "Look Paul, just forget all that shit. We can't afford for you to get suspended from the team over this nonsense."

  "I don't know what it is but that bitch just irks the fuck out of me." Paul confided.

  Teddy laughed. "Oh I know exactly what it is and you do to."

  "Yeah you're right. I do." Paul laughed as he looked at Queen who by now was extremely pissed.

  "Fuck this! I'm going to class. Let me know when you two get tired of running my damn life." She announced.

  "Hey, hold up Mye Queen." Paul softly urged as he grabbed Queen by the arm. "I'm going with you."

  Annoyed, Queen pulled away. "I'm good. I know my way."

  "So, now you're mad at me?"

  "No, I'm mad at both of you. I can't do this."

  "Do what Queen?" Teddy asked.

  "Fight with you two over my ex. I have no control over Logic and I'm not going to allow you two to control me. You are my boyfriend and you are my roommate and neither one of you are qualified to tell me what the fuck to do!"

  "She's mad at you." Paul laughed.

  "Apparently, she's mad at you too." Teddy laughed as he hugged Queen. "I'm sorry Mye Queen. I didn't mean to get all up in your bidniz," He joked.

  "Me too baby." Paul agreed as he pulled Queen away from Teddy and into his arms. Holding her from behind he kisses her on the back of her neck. "Don’t pay me any attention. I’m just venting."

  Queen didn't resist this time. She relaxed and enjoyed his embrace. She understood his frustration and decided to give him a pass.

  Just when everybody was starting to get along real trouble descended upon the couple.

  "Hi Paul. Can I speak to you for a second?" Zoey asked as she approached.

  "Sure Zoey. Give me a second."

  Queen instantly remembered Zoey from Friday night. Apparently her agenda hadn't changed. Queen didn't want to deal with this lay on her back and do anything for a dick stanky skank. Besides, she had to get to class.

  "I gotta go. I'm going to be late for class." She said as she kissed his mouth. "I'll see you later."

  "I got to go too." Teddy said. "I'll walk with you Queen."

  "Okay, call me when you get a break." Paul said as he kissed her back.

  As they walked away Queen looked back to find Zoey laughing and flirting with her man. She watched as Zoey slipped a florescent piece of paper in his jacket pocket. Though Paul remained cordial and smiled politely it was obvious that Zoey was offering a ride on her caboose.

  "Gold digging ass trick." Queen murmured.

  "What did you say?" Teddy chuckled.

  "Nothing. Just forget it."

  "You might as well get use to that. It's always somebody trying to ride that big ride."

  "Bitches just don't have manners on this campus."

  "Oh they have manners alright, bad ones. Wait until you meet the Supreme Bitch."

  "Who's that?"

  "His ex, Jaydan."

  "Can't wait for that." Queen sarcastically replied as they continued on. Choosing to make small talk Queen tried to unwind and relax before her biochemistry class. As expected, a little time with the low key Teddy was just what she needed to decompress and relax. Moments later Logic and Zoey were both insignificant distant memories at least for now.

  CHAPTER 10

  Hell had officially arrived early for Queen today. Somehow Logic had managed to get a copy of her schedule and they shared four of her six classes. Queen really had assumed that she was over him. But after taking considerable inventory of her thoughts, emotions and the purring pussy in her pants she realized that she had merely packed her feelings for him up in a little box, tied a pretty little red bow on it and threw it in the back of her closet of discontent. Then she vowed to never ever open it again. Unfortunately that wasn't going to be as easy as she thought.

  Everywhere she turned she saw his gorgeous face. And as hard as she tried it became more and more difficult to remain angry with him so she decided to call a truce. That lasted about an hour until he showed up at her cheerleading practice. Needless to say Paul and Teddy both nearly lost their damn minds. Still as angry as they were, things were about to be worse. Logic was actually there to speak to the coach about a walk on tryout for the football team.

  You see Logic was in fact one of the fastest running backs in the country. Chances of him not securing a spot on the team where very slim and nonexistent. Any coach would give a left nut to have him on their team. And the FDC football team was in dire need of a strong Running Back.

  By the time Queen finally arrived home she really
just wanted to go to her room and hibernate for about a year. Unfortunately, that was not in the cards. The doorbell rang before she could even make it downstairs.

  "Someone's at the door." She yelled.

  "You live here. See who it is." Teddy yelled back.

  Queen opened the door to discover a very attractive young women who she estimated to be about her age. "Hi, can I help you?"

  The woman looked a little surprised to see Queen at the door, but she did her best to hide it. "Hi, I'm looking for Paul. Is he home?"

  "Sure. Who should I say is calling?" Queen politely asked.

  "I'm Jaydan his girlfriend."

  "Of course you are." Queen said as she invited her in. "Come in and I'll get him for you."

  Queen yells up the stairwell, "Paul, you have company."

  "What?" he yelled back.

  "You have a guest." Queen announced as she caught Jaydan checking her out.

  "I'll be down in a minute."

  By now Jaydan had made her way into the great room and made herself comfortable on the love seat. As tired as Queen was she really just wanted to say fuck it and go to her room. But after all this Logic dram all damn day long she was not going to miss this for anything in the world. She wanted watch Paul squirm under the pressure of the ex for a minute.

  "He said he'll be right down." She relayed Paul's message to Jaydan.

  "I know I heard him." She smugly replied.

  Queen could hear footsteps running down the stairs, so she assumed that it was Paul. That was until Teddy walked into the great room.

  "Who was at the door?"

  Queen didn't comment. She simply nodded in Jaydan's general direction.

  Teddy's eyes which had grown as big as dinner plates darted from Queen to Jaydan. "Okay... Does Paul know that she's here?"

  "He'll be down in a second." Queen simply replied.

  "Hey Teddy Bear. How have you been?"

  "Good. I've been good. What about you?"
