Teddy laughs. “Mother fucka do you think you the only nigga with guns and shit. Bitch I got a whole room full of rifles, guns, hatchets, knives, swords and all kinds of shit designed to fuck a nigga up! Hell, I’m just waiting for an opportunity to go cold Medieval on a punk ass nigga who wants to bring some drama and noise to my fuckin spot. So, bring your fuckin supper when you come bitch, because we’re going to be there for a fuckin while.”
Logic burst into laughter, “Whatever mother fucka, don’t say I didn’t give your ass the 411 before you have to dial 911 to save your life. The shit’s over and done with. And don’t worry I’m going to let Queen know that the shit is finished. It took some time to warm up to you and shit, but you’re my boy now. That’s the only reason I’m giving you a heads up before I have to correct that ass with extreme prejudice. So just govern yourself accordingly because you’re only going to get one warning.”
“Man you blow a whole lot of smoke and talk a lot of shit for a little mother fucker. Again, talk to Queen and when she serves me notice then I’ll walk. If not I’m at her beck and call. And I swear to God I hope she calls a nigga tonight cause you got my dick hard just mentioning her name.” Teddy chuckled.
“Nigga! I should just reach over there and smack the shit out of you with this fucking plate.” Logic laughed.
“I wish a bitch would try.” Teddy shook his head, relaxed back in his chair and crossed his arms across his chest.
“You think I’m playing with your monkey ass don’t you?” Logic grinned. “Alright… I’ve already said what I have to say.”
“And I heard you, nigga. Can we order now?” Teddy calmly conceded as he saw their waitress approach with their drinks.
“Sure. So what’s good here Malinda?” Logic asked.
“Other than me?” She flirted.
“Yeah… I’m flattered, but I’m afraid that I’m engaged.” Logic smiled.
“And you Mr. Teddy Bear… are you engaged also?”
Teddy grinned. Logic interrupts before he could answer. “Yell, Mr. Teddy Bear are you engaged?” He teased.
“No, not yet, but I have someone special in mind.”
Logic laughed, “Yeah, alright. We’ll see how that bullshit goes for you. Sweetheart, we can’t decide so could you just bring us out your Sampler Feast for two. Thanks.”
“Right away, Mr. Logic.” The beautiful waitress replied as she slipped Teddy her phone number on a piece of paper. Teddy took a look at the message scrawled on the paper, folded it and slipped it into his jacket pocket without a word.
“And you wonder why I’m the King.” Logic sarcastically chuckled.
“Oh I know why you are the King… It’s because you haven’t got caught up in your bullshit yet.” Teddy casually responded.
“What’s that suppose to mean?”
“Nothing, I’m just saying don’t act like your ass walking the straight and narrow thin line without stumbling and shit, because we both know different.”
“Again, what the fuck is that suppose to mean? You got something you want to say then say it.”
“I don’t have a damn thing that I want to say. I’m just pointing out that you do dirt and shit too. Just because Queen is too preoccupied to figure it out does not mean it doesn’t happen. Hey, but you do you playa.”
“Nigga, whatever. You don’t know shit about me and you ain’t got shit on me. So you might as well stop fishing for info, cause I ain’t got shit to tell you.”
“You don’t really owe me an explanation, because I don’t even give a fuck. All I’m saying is don’t be too quick to judge me without looking at the nigga in the mirror.”
Logic stared Teddy down trying to figure out if he was serious or just bluffing. The arrogance in his face was a very good indication that Teddy had the inside scoop on something that Logic assumed no one knew anything about. Logic knew that this was not the time to play show and tell with Teddy, so he reserved further comment.
The waitress returned with their food just in time to break the awkward tension that had developed between them. It was just the ice breaker that they needed to change the subject to common ground other then Queen. Naturally the conversation quickly turned to football. An unspoken truce was called and the two friends quickly laid all of their animosity to the side and enjoyed each others company for the remainder of afternoon. Still the gauntlet had been cast and neither one of them had any intention of backing down or out gracefully.
Chapter 51
Queen was as nervous as a virgin in a hotel room on prom night when she found out that Logic had invited Teddy to lunch for a one on one, man to man talk. It didn’t take an advance degree in Rock Science, or Quantum Physics to figure out that the topic of the discussion was going to be her scandalous ass. The last thing she wanted to hear was that these two had arranged a meeting of the minds to compare notes. In retrospect she had to ask herself, “What the fuck were you thinking?”
Queen knew that she had taken advantage of Logic and was taking his kindness for weakness. She had allowed this shit with Teddy to get way too far out of control. It was one thing to allow him into her panties and a whole other thing to allow him to wiggle his way into her heart. Sex is physical and fleeting, but love is an emotional connection which can last an eternity.
The triple truth of the matter is that the heart to heart to talk should have been with his fiancé. Since Queen came back to Logic after their unfortunate breakup and her subsequent unfortunate breakdown he had let a whole lot of Queen’s bullshit slide, and Queen knew it. She knew that this was totally out of character for Logic not to quickly correct a nigga, Teddy for stepping to her, and a bitch, Queen for allowing him to get in balls deep.
After all, if she didn’t want to be in a committed, monogamous relationship then she should never have accepted his ring and his marriage proposal. But she did and fucking Teddy on the regular and dating X on the side was not on the agenda. Logic chose to let the physical attraction go, but he was not going to let the emotional connection go unchecked any further and Queen instinctively knew it.
She figured that it was just a matter of time before he put his foot down, or broke it off in somebody’s ass. And the time had apparently come to do both. She kept checking her cell waiting for the call that both of them were in jail, or worse one was in hell and the other needed bail. But the call never came, so she called and called both of them who simply ignored her.
When Teddy did not respond to her text messages it dawned on her that he had as much right as Logic to be pissed the fuck off. Yes, he was a willing participant, but Queen’s inability to separate dick and love had given him a sense of hope that he could replace Logic not only in her bed but in her heart. Not to mentioned that he begged her to put all her cards on the table and come clean with Logic about their relationship a very long time ago. Something she now wished she had done.
Her heart stopped as she heard the roar of Logic’s Ferrari approach at an incredible high speed, followed in close pursuit by Teddy’s Lamborghini. Not knowing what to expect she bolted for the door, followed in close tow by Dorian and Jade. They reached the drive way in time to find Logic and Teddy laughing and giving each other dap.
“Nigga, I told you that you couldn’t handle me on the straight away with this bitch!”
“Yeah, but I had your ass until we hit the highway.” Teddy countered.
“Of course you did, that’s because I didn’t know where the hell I was going. Nigga, you forget I’m from Vegas. But when your ass hit the highway and I knew where I was… man I had that ass for dinner and shit.”
“That bitch’s fast as a mother fucka though. I have to give that shit to you.” Teddy conceded.
“Shit, you were on my ass every fuckin inch of the way though, but I wasn‘t about to let your ass in front of me.” Logic laughed.
“Nigga, did you see that cop when we shot by on the Interstate?”
“Man I looked at the speedometer and my shit was damn near one hundr
ed and fifty. I said this bitch is going to have to run my ass down and shit.” Logic laughed. “Then I remembered your ass was behind me and I just let that bitch completely loose.”
“Shit… I saw him hit his lights and pull on after I went by. You’re crazy if you think I was pulling over for that bastard. I floored that bitch and jumped right behind your ass. That stupid mother fucka is probably still trying to figure out where we went.”
“This shit is nice as hell though! You’re going to have to let me hold this for a few.” Logic said as he ran his finger along the fine lines of the black Lamborghini.”
“Hey we can trade off until the next time you come back. I’ll pimp the hell out of this bitch.” Teddy responded as he surveyed Logic’s candy apple red custom sports car.”
“Bet! Here’s the keys.” Logic said as he tossed his car keys to Teddy.
Teddy caught a quick glimpse of Queen, standing near Logic, as he caught the keys and threw his to Logic. He could see the anguish in her face but he couldn’t comfort her even if he wanted to. “Alright, I’d better run. I have some shit to handle before tonight.”
“See you later Bear.” Queen managed.
“I’ll see you tonight.” He assured her, resisting his urge to give her the customary goodbye kiss on the lips as he saw Logic take her hand.
“What time you want us to drop by?” Logic asked since he was the only one who had a clue what was going on.
“I’ll be there, so any time after nine is cool.” Teddy replied as he climbed into Logic’s Ferrari, adjusted the mirror and checked the glove box for the registration.
“Take it easy on the way back. Your buddy might have laid a speed trap for you. I don‘t want to see your ass on Cops and shit.” Logic joked.
“You want see my ass on Cops. You’ll see a red streak flash by. And if you look real close you may recognize it as your shit doing around two hundred miles an hour.” Teddy laughed as he winked at Queen, put on his designer sunglasses and peeled off at high speed, burning rubber.
“I can’t believe I just let this crazy ass nigga drive my shit.” Logic remarked.
“I can’t either.” Queen casually replied as she watched Teddy disappear up the street.
“Come on let’s go.” Logic commanded as he lead Queen to the house.
“Where are we going?”
“Where do you think?” He asked.
~*~*~
Queen really didn’t know what to expect when Logic lead her back to her bedroom. It could go many ways and frankly she wasn’t prepared for any of them. Except the way it went down, or should I say the way he went down. Logic closed and locked the door and Queen immediately backed away in preparation to fight or to run. She really wasn’t sure which one she was going to have to do.
But when he turned around to face her he immediately started to strip down. He peeled his shirt off of his broad muscular back and let it fall to the floor as Queen watched. Next he unbuckled his belt and unzipped his jeans. He stepped out of his shoes and approached Queen who was frozen to her spot, not really sure what was going on.
Logic picked her up and tossed her on the bed. “What, you going to make me do all the work Mye Queen.” He moaned as he climbed on the bed between her legs.
He sought her soft lips and sucked them in his mouth as his large hands attempted to pull her shorts off. She lifted her hips and helped him tug her shorts over her big butt as she locked lips with him in a passionate kiss. She tried desperately to search his eyes to see if this was going to be angry sex, but his eyes were closed and his hands were busy roaming all over her body. At this point it really didn’t matter to Queen, angry sex, mad sex or glad sex, she really didn’t care her body just wanted his hard dick between her thighs.
But that would have to wait awhile as Logic unlocked lips long enough to ask, “Are you still in love with me?”
“Of course I love you. You know that.” Queen moaned as Logic’s magic fingers methodically played with her kitty kat.
Logic sucked one of her breasts and then the other deep in his mouth before releasing it. “That’s not what I asked you. I asked you are you still in love with me. I know that you love me. What I need to know is if you are in love with me?”
Queen’s hands instantly stopped all efforts to unleash the beast that strained to be free from the confines of Logic’s pants. She looked into his eyes and simply said, “Yes I’m in love with you.”
Logic looked deep in her soul and knew that though confused about who or what she wanted, or even why, his Queen was still in love with him. And in spite of everything he was still madly in love with her as well. “So, are we still getting married?”
“Do you still want to marry me?”
“Do you still want to marry me is the question? Absolutely nothing has changed for me. It’s all on you. What do you want to do, and be honest?”
Half naked, confused and feeling vulnerable Queen couldn’t answer that question, at least not quickly enough for Logic’s satisfaction.
“Never mind, Queen you don’t have to answer I get it.” He murmured as he rolled off of her and covered his face with his arm.
Queen instantly rolled on top of him. “No, you don’t get it. Hell I don’t even get it.”
“Seems to me that you’ve been getting it quite a bit.” Logic sarcastically replied.
Queen allowed that one to fly by unchecked even though it stung a little. Why wouldn’t it, the truth often hurts when we don’t want to hear it? If Logic really knew how scandalously she had really become he’d probably stop speaking to her. If ever there was a time for her to fess up and come clean it was now.
“Logic, I need to tell you something and then I’ll answer your question. Okay?”
“What?”
“I’ve been having sex with Teddy since Paul died.” She confessed.
Logic remained emotionless, “And…”
“And I was faithful to you when I was in Vegas with you last summer, but we started having sex again when I moved to Los Angeles.
“And…”
“And when you’re here with me I stop, but when you leave it starts again.”
“And…”
“And what? That’s it.”
“No it’s not Queen and you know it, so go ahead and say it.”
“Say what? I don’t know what else you want me to say.”
“Okay then I’ll just flat out ask you. Teddy’s in love with you. Are you in love with him?”
“Logic….”
“No, just answer the question.”
“I have feelings for Teddy, we’ve grown close.”
“Again, it’s a simple question, so there’s a very simple answer to the question. Are you in love with Teddy?”
Queen hesitated and assessed the situation. If she said yes, Logic would probably walk out. If she said no, she’d be lying to Logic and herself. So she opted for the truth. “I don’t know. But I don’t love him enough to give you up. I do know that.”
Logic was quiet for an uncomfortably long time. In fact Queen was certain that he had fallen asleep, though she dared wake him. Finally he spoke. “Do you love me enough to give him up to marry me?”
“Yes, I do.” she conceded. “But, do you still want to marry me?” Queen’s voice cracked as tears swelled in eyes and a large lump formed in her throat.
“You know I do.” He said as he rubbed the small of her back to comfort her. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”
Tears burst like a river from her eyes. “I’m so sorry. I swear, I’m sorry Logic. I don’t know why I kept doing it, but I couldn’t stop. I took advantage of the situation and I…”
“Come on, stop crying. We’re okay. We’ve both made some mistakes. I didn’t do everything right either. We just need to figure out where we plan to go from here, that’s all.” He said as he wiped the steady flow of tears from Queen’s eyes.
Queen heard what Logic said, but didn’t actually say. Truth be told if he did slip and fall
between somebody’s legs then she had no one to blame but her own silly ass self. So she did the only thing she could do at the time, ignore the statement and let it fly by unchallenged. But as she rested her head on his chest while he comforted her she could not help but think, who could it have been? She dared not ask and open up that can of ugly, smelly worms. She quickly dismissed the thought and allowed the gentle stroke of his giant hands to soothe her into a comfortable sleep.
Logic lay in the bed holding her for what seemed like hours. He gently stroked her partially nude body and admired her splendor. There was no doubt about it he was absolutely bananas over this woman. Just as he began to drift off to sleep himself Queen’s phone received a text, the sixth one within the hour. Logic picked it up to silence the ringer, before it woke her, only to display the text message by accident.
The text was from X. It read, “Been trying to reach you all day can I see you tonight?”
Puzzled, Logic looked at the message and then looked at Queen. “Oh hell no! Who the fuck is this nigga?” He growled. “I guess there is only one way to find out.”
Logic sent a reply to the text, “Sorry, I’ve been busy. I’m going to a party tonight. Can you meet me there?”
X responded. “Sure. When and where?”
Logic immediately texted back, “12250 Candlestick Lane, LA at 10pm.”
X quickly replied, “See you then.”
Logic smirked, “Oh you can believe that shit nigga!”
He looked at Queen who was completely knocked out, curled up in the fetal position like a baby with her Binky and pacifier. They say that confession is good for the soul. Fessing up to Logic really took a lot of guilt and shame off of Queen. Free from its weight she could finally sleep peacefully.
