All Mye Queen's Men, Chronicles of Love - Volume II (27 page)

X
was
incapable
of
consoling
her
and
he
could
only
watch
as
she
poured
out
her
tears,
fears
and
her
heart
to
Jade.
Still
he
knew
that
later
that
night
he
would
have
his
chance
to
hold
and
comfort
her
as
only
her
man
could.
After
all
these
months
he
was
finally
the
only
man
for
that
job.
And
he
planned
to
comfort
her
over
and
over
again
until
she
was
thoroughly
convinced
that
he
was
worthy
of
his
position
on
the
throne
of
her
heart.

~*~*~

That
night
an
extremely
anxious
X
awaited
his
Queen
in
his
study.
The
scent
of
a
couple
dozen
jasmine
aroma
candles
permeated
the
candlelit
room,
champagne
chilled
and
soft
smooth
jazz
infused
the
atmosphere
with
love.
And
yes
this
time
X
had
condoms.
Even
though
she
was
in
the
next
room
he
decided
to
seal
the
deal
with
a
phone
call.

Jade
answered.
“
Yeah,
is
something
wrong?
”

“
Hi
Jade,
no
everything
is
okay.
Is
Queen
asleep?
”

“
No
she
’
s
right
here.
Where
are
you?
”

“
I
’
m
in
my
study.
Can
I
talk
to
her
please?
”

“
About
what?
”

“
Jade,
please
put
her
on
the
phone.
I
just
need
to
talk
to
her.
”

“
Who
is
it
Jade?
”
Queen
asked.

“
It
’
s
X.
”

“
X?
Give
me
the
phone.
”

Jade
reluctantly
gave
Queen
the
phone.
She
knew
that
X
was
making
an
in
house
booty
call.
In
retrospect
it
was
his
house
and
apparently
it
was
now
his
booty
as
well.
But
Jade
wasn
’
t
sure
if
Queen
was
emotionally
ready
for
a
little
bump
and
grind.

Queen
had
been
lying
in
bed
crying
and
depressed
all
day.
She
was
a
real
certifiable
hot
ass
mess.
Her
hair
was
all
over
her
head.
Her
eyes
were
puffy
and
swollen
and
frankly
she
could
use
a
shower.

“
Here,
I
think
he
’
s
lonely
and
wants
some
company.
”
Jade
responded
as
she
handed
Queen
the
phone.

“
Hey
what
’
s
going
on?
”

“
I
miss
you
Mye
Queen.
Can
you
come
and
talk
to
me?
”

“
X,
I
’
m
a
real
basket
case
right
now.
”

“
I
know
but,
I
just
want
to
hold
you.
”

Queen
smiled,
“
Hold
me
huh?
Baby
I
haven
’
t
even
showered.
”

“
Good,
meet
me
in
the
bathroom
in
five
minutes
and
I
’
ll
wash
your
back.
”

Queen
did
not
respond.

“
Okay?
Queen,
please?
”
X
pleaded.

“
I
’
ll
see
you
in
few.
”

Jade
figured
that
it
was
pointless
to
stop
Queen.
So,
she
pretended
to
be
busy
watching
TV
when
Queen
got
up
to
go
to
X.

“
I
’
ll
be
back.
I
’
m
going
to
go
take
a
shower.
”
Queen
announced.

Jade
reserved
comment.
She
understood
how
Queen
processed
hurt
and
pain
and
she
knew
that
X
’
s
brand
of
comfort
was
exactly
what
Queen
desired
and
needed
to
let
her
know
that
everything
would
one
day
be
okay.

Queen
entered
the
hall
bathroom
to
find
X
waiting
for
her
with
a
steamy
hot
shower
running.
He
gently
brushed
her
hair
from
her
face
and
kissed
her
on
her
forehead.
She
hugged
his
waist
and
clung
to
him
as
if
he
was
the
last
lifeboat
launched
from
the
Titanic.
He
held
her
close
and
whispered
in
her
ear.
“
I
’
ll
take
care
of
you
Mye
Queen.
I
promise
you
’
ll
be
okay.
”

Queen
looked
up
at
him
and
found
herself
instantly
lost
in
his
crystal
blue
eyes.
His
words
and
his
sultry
voice
soothed
her.
For
the
first
time
since
Logic
left
she
actually
felt
that
she
was
capable
of
surviving
this
disaster
that
she
had
created.
She
decided
to
trust
X
to
help
her
to
navigate
through
the
carnage
that
had
become
her
life.
 

Without
a
word
she
slipped
out
of
the
T-shirt
that
she
had
been
wearing
and
slipped
into
the
glass
shower.
The
water
from
the
hot
shower
ran
over
her
head
and
concealed
the
tears
of
a
clown
who
had
just
loss
the
love
of
her
life.
As
she
shampooed
her
hair
she
closed
her
eyes
and
contemplated
the
remaining
two
splendiferous
men
who
continued
to
vie
for
their
chance
to
rule
as
King
of
her
heart.
Suddenly
she
realized
that
her
world
had
not
stopped
simply
because
Logic
got
off.
She
quickly
rinsed
her
hair,
showered
and
returned
to
the
waiting
arms
of
X.
