All Mye Queen's Men, Chronicles of Love - Volume I (119 page)

Teddy
smiled.
“
You
know.
”

Queen
looked
puzzled.
“
No
I
don
’
t
know
as
a
matter
of
fact
I
don
’
t
have
a
clue.
”

“
I
want
you
to
live
with
me.
I
brought
this
for
us.
”

Queen
stared
blankly
into
space.
It
was
as
if
a
mule
kicked
her
in
the
head
and
now
she
was
brain
dead.
Shaking
her
head
no,
repeatedly
she
finally
found
the
words
to
say.
“
Please
do
not
tell
me
that
you
said
what
I
think
you
just
said.
Because
one
of
us
has
just
loss
their
damn
mind
and
I
hope
to
God
it
’
s
not
me.
Bear
…
What
the
fuck?
”

Teddy
laughed,
“
What?
Why
would
I
have
loss
my
mind
to
think
that
it
is
out
of
the
realm
of
reality
to
believe
that
you
love
me
enough
to
move
in
with
me?
Why?
”

Queen
leaned
against
her
car
for
support
as
her
knees
weakened.
“
Oh
my
God
I
can
’
t
believe
this
shit.
This
is
not
happening.
”

“
Why
is
it
so
damn
hard
to
believe?
What?
You
know
how
I
feel
about
you?
”

“
Bear,
I
’
m
engaged
to
be
married.
I
can
’
t
move
in
with
you.
I
thought
we
were
just
trying
to
figure
things
out
between
us.
”

“
I
thought
that
we
were
in
love.
Well,
at
least
that
’
s
what
you
said.
”

“
Bear
…
Oh
my
God!
”

“
You
’
re
not
in
love
with
me?
”
Teddy
held
Queen
around
her
waist,
tilted
her
chin
with
one
finger
and
searched
her
eyes
for
the
answer.

Queen
eyes
begin
to
swell
with
tears
as
she
looked
away
from
him,
unable
to
withstand
his
gaze.
She
didn
’
t
answer.

Teddy
turned
her
face
back
around
and
asked
her
again.
“
Queen,
are
you
in
love
with
me,
yes
or
no?
”

“
Yes,
but
…”

Teddy
quickly
interrupted.
“
No
there
are
no
damn
buts.
I
asked
you
yes
or
no.
I
don
’
t
want
to
hear
anything
else.
”

“
Bear
I
love
you,
but
I
’
m
not
ready
for
this.
I
can
’
t
do
this.
I
’
m
still
in
love
with
Logic.
I
can
’
t
handle
all
this
right
now.
It
’
s
just
too
much
on
me
to
deal
with
this
right
now.
”

“
So
what
are
you
saying?
”

“
I
’
m
saying
that
I
can
’
t
choose
between
you
and
Logic
right
now.
And
until
I
’
m
ready
to
choose
you
and
I
will
have
to
remain
either
secret
lovers
or
just
friends.
That
’
s
what
I
’
m
saying.
”

Not
hearing
the
answer
that
he
desperately
wanted
to
hear,
Bear
looked
away
and
stared
off
into
the
clouds
as
if
he
could
find
a
response
to
Queen
’
s
declaration
in
the
heavens.
“
Okay
…”
he
sighed.
“
So
I
guess
what
you
’
re
telling
me
is
that
you
need
some
more
time.
Alright,
well
I
can
do
that.
I
don
’
t
want
to
but
I
can
do
that.
I
guess
I
can
find
something
to
occupy
my
time
while
I
wait.
”
Teddy
joked
as
he
grabbed
Queen
by
the
ass
and
pulled
her
into
his
big
arms.
He
sampled
her
lips
they
tasted
sweeter
than
he
remembered.
“
God
I
missed
you.
”
He
confessed
as
he
held
her
close
enough
that
she
could
feel
exactly
how
much
he
wanted
her.

He
was
hard
just
being
close
to
her
and
Queen
knew
that
she
was
in
for
a
long
night.

“
Yeah
I
can
tell
exactly
how
much.
”
She
giggled.

“
It
’
s
not
only
the
sex
…
I
really
missed
you
being
my
girl
and
shit.
”

“
I
’
m
your
girl?
”

“
You
know
that
you
’
re
my
girl.
You
’
ve
always
been
my
girl
…
You
know
it
and
I
know.
Now
if
I
can
just
get
you
to
tell
Logic
…”

Queen
quickly
interrupts.
“
I
thought
you
wanted
some.
Did
you
really
bring
me
all
the
way
out
here
to
talk
about
Logic?
”
