is..."
"Oh yeah? And what is that?"
"Basically a good time." Teddy replied as he set on the bed next to Queen. "I just don't want you to think that I'm an insensitive canine in heat."
"I get it. Don't worry about it."
"Queen can I ask you something?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"Why did you choose Paul instead of me?"
Queen laughed, "Do you really want to know?"
"Yeah, because I thought you were feeling me."
"Okay, I can answer that question in two words. Red Sonya."
Teddy shakes his head. "I knew that was the reason. You do know that we ’ re just friends."
"I figured as much but it didn't change anything. I'm not looking to breakup anybody's relationship. Friendship or not, you have somebody. I don't need any, ‘ Bitch leave my man alone! ’ drama."
"Unfortunately, you're not going to be exempt from that bullshit. Paul's ex is a bitch from the bowels of hell. And she's going to be pissed when she sees him with you."
"Oh really?" Queen asked as she read the card. "I'm not worried about it. She'll survive as long as she leaves me alone."
"Somebody sounds sure of herself." Teddy joked.
"Somebody is sure that she'll beat a bitches ass if she gets in her face. It's not my first time dating the captain of the football team, even though I swore I would never do it again."
"I just knew that you were going to choose me. I felt it. And then here comes Red Sonja's big ass."
Queen laughed, "How long have you been seeing her?"
"We're not going out. We're just friends. Well, friends who occasionally enjoy some special time together."
"Yeah, you see... That's where the red flag was thrown on that play. All your special time has to belong to me. I couldn't share you."
"I wouldn't ask you to."
"So, you'd be faithful to me?"
"Yeah, I would have been."
"Whatever Teddy." Queen laughed.
"Why are you laughing. I'm serious."
"Well that's neither here nor there now."
"So, I assume you slept with Paul last night."
"That's not the assumption you should have made."
"What assumption should I have made then? Your hair is all over your head. Besides, I heard you two screaming like two wildcats being declawed. It's not really hard to deduce what happened."
"Well, you should have assumed that it's none of your damn business." Queen laughed. "What is your issue?"
"You! You're my issue. I can't stop thinking about you."
"Bear, this is crazy."
"Why? I'm attracted to you. Is that so crazy?"
"Look, you know what went down. It's weird enough that I'm sleeping with one of my roommates. Please don't make it worse."
"I just wanted to put it out there."
"I appreciate that." Queen said as she kissed him on his cheek. "The card is beautiful and I'd love to be your friend without benefits."
Teddy grinned, "Get dressed. I'll take you to lunch."
"So, what's the story with you and Jade?"
"What? What did she say about me?"
Queen laughed, "Just that you are a nigga to the “ N ” th power."
Teddy shook his head, "Jade's just still mad because I cheated on her."
"When did you and Jade date?"
"When we were in Middle School."
"Middle School! What the hell?" Queen laughed.
"Jade can hold a grudge forever."
"What happened? Please don't tell me that you... Oh my God! Did you take her virginity?"
"Hell no! We were in the seventh grade. Actually I probably would have, but Cindy Shoemaker, a ninth grader, gave me a blow job beneath the gym bleachers. Word got around to Jade and she whipped my ass."
"Oh my God. That's funny as hell." Queen laughed.
"In my defense it was my first BJ. When she said, 'Meet me under the bleaches and I'll give you a blow job.' I thought she had a summer job for me. That's the only reason I went. And it should be obvious why I stayed."
Queen burst into robust laughter. "You're stupid as hell. Why in the hell is this the first time I've heard this. Wait until I see
