All Mye Queen's Men, Chronicles of Love - Volume I (107 page)

“
So
you
’
re
not
engaged?
”
X
asked
confused.

“
No,
I
’
m
engaged.
”

“
So
you
’
re
engaged
and
you
have
a
boyfriend?
”

Queen
simply
gave
him
a
slow
affirmative
nod.

“
Okay
…
Do
I
really
want
to
know
this?
”

“
Probably
not...
”
She
shook
her
head
and
smiled.
“
It
’
s
messy
and
complicated
and
believe
me,
you
really
don
’
t
want
to
get
in
it.
”

“
What
if
I
did
want
to
get
into
it?
”

Queen
laughed.
“
Then
you
’
re
probably
not
as
smart
as
I
thought
you
were.
”

“
You
’
re
probably
right.
Okay,
well
we
can
deal
with
that
issue
later.
So
tell
me
about
yourself.
”

“
What
do
you
want
to
know?
”
She
asked
as
the
waitress
returned
with
their
order.

“
Just
tell
me
about
Mye
Queen.
Who
is
she?
Why
did
she
come
to
Medical
School?
What
are
her
plans?
”

Queen
welcomed
the
opportunity
to
vindicate
herself
and
let
X
know
exactly
who
she
was
and
where
she
was
going
in
life.
She
wanted
him
to
know
that
she
was
more
than
just
a
pretty
face
getting
through
life
on
her
back
counting
ceiling
tiles
on
her
way.
It
was
important
for
her
to
convey
to
him
that
she
really
wasn
’
t
just
another
ghetto
rat
playing
two
fools
for
their
cheddar,
although
he
already
had
that
figured
out.

X
listened
intently
as
she
spoke.
Everything
about
her
fascinated
him.
He
noticed
how
her
eyes
brightened
as
she
discussed
her
future
and
her
desire
to
help
others.
He
knew
that
she
had
what
it
takes
to
become
a
doctor.
He
was
well
aware
that
she
wasn
’
t
a
heartless
opportunist
and
even
if
she
was
he
wanted
an
opportunity
to
find
out
for
himself.

“
So,
now
I
’
m
ready
to
tackle
the
tough
question.
”

Queen
smiled.
“
Okay
so
what
is
that?
”

“
What
’
s
with
the
rich
boyfriend
and
the
fiancé?
Why
can
’
t
you
just
choose,
or
are
you
just
too
much
woman
for
one
man?
”

Queen
giggled
as
she
took
a
bite
of
the
brownie,
“
Hardly!
That
is
a
tough
one.
I
don
’
t
really
have
the
answer
for
you.
”
Queen
’
s
smile
quickly
faded
to
bewilderment.
The
whole
Logic
verses
Teddy
saga
had
been
wearing
her
thin
for
months
now.
They
were
tugging
on
her
like
two
dogs
fighting
over
a
chew
toy.
She
couldn
’
t
begin
to
answer
that
question
even
if
you
put
a
gun
to
her
head
and
threatened
to
shoot.
It
just
was
not
an
easy
choice
and
even
if
it
was
Queen
was
not
ready
to
choose.

“
So
I
take
it
that
the
boyfriend
is
rich
and
powerful
and
the
fiancé
is
loving
and
attentive?
”

“
Actually
…
they
’
re
both
wealthy
and
really
great
guys.
”

“
Really?
”
he
asked
surprised.
“
Now,
I
really
don
’
t
get
it.
”

“
Get
what?
”

“
So
why
are
you
playing
them?
Neither
one
of
them
satisfies
you?
”

A
wry
smile
slowly
crept
across
Queen
’
s
face.
Without
a
doubt
they
both
satisfied
her
every
need
and
desire,
and
that
’
s
the
reason
it
was
so
hard
for
her
to
choose.
How
can
you
choose
between
two
incredible
men
who
’
d
rip
their
own
hearts
out
of
their
chest
to
give
it
to
you
so
that
yours
could
beat
for
another
minute?

“
Of
course
they
satisfy
me.
They
both
make
me
extremely
happy.
It
’
s
just
that
my
heart
won
’
t
let
me
pick
one.
How
can
I
without
hurting
the
other?
”

“
Don
’
t
choose
then
…
just
leave
them
both
alone.
I
mean
Medical
School
is
rough
and
it
’
ll
take
its
toll
on
a
rock
solid,
strong
marriage.
Trying
to
joggle
two
questionable
relationships
and
Med
School
is
going
to
wear
you
down.
Something
is
going
to
suffer
and
I
’
d
hate
for
it
to
be
your
grades.
I
think
you
have
a
bright
future
in
medicine.
It
’
d
be
a
shame
to
throw
it
away.
