Sure
, b
ring
them
both
by
t
onight
.

I
agreed
knowing
damn
well
that
I
wasn't
going
to
be
there.

A
broad
sexy
grin
crossed
Tyson's
handsome
face
as
I
sealed
the
deal
with
a
professional
handshake
and
a
sweet
goodbye
kiss
on
his
lips.
Little
did
he
realize
that
it
was
a
goodbye
forever
kiss.


Toy
next
year
I
want
you
to
apply
for
a
position
in
the
DA's
office.
Okay?


We'll
see.

I
smiled
.
As
if
I
would
even
consider
that
bullshit.
I
sucked
his
dick
because
I
wanted
to.
I
was
not
about
to
start
sucking
it
because
I
had
to.
Fuck
that!

After
Tyson
left
I
gave
the
signed
papers
to
my
boss
and
instructed
him
to
file
them
immediately.
 
Then
I
went
in
my
office
to
type
up
my
resignation
letter.
Even
if
I
wanted
to
stay
I
realized
that
abruptly
ending
my
relationship
with
Tyson
would
effectively
destroy
or
completely
end
my
career
as
an
attorney
in
DC.
Tyson
was
a
politically
connected
and
very
powerful
man.
He
was
indeed
a
strong
ally
to
have
in
your
corner,
but
I
knew
he
could
be
a
deadly,
vindictive
viper
if
he
ever
turned
against
you.
I
decided
to
quit
while
I
was
ahead
and
take
Logic
up
on
his
offer
to
move
to
Vegas.
Besides,
I
couldn't
fathom
sleeping
without
him
either.

I
left
my
resignation,
which
was
effective
immediately,
on
Walt's
desk
along
with
a
note
apologizing
for
the
extremely
short
notice
and
skipping
the
Mayor's
Ball.

Chapter
12

Elated,
I
rushed
back
to
the
apartment
to
tell
Logic
the
good
news
only
to
find
him
getting
ready
for
the
Ball.


I'm
almost
dressed.

He
announced
as
he
finished
shaving.

You
can
have
the
bathroom
in
five
minutes.


Don't
rush,
because
we're
not
going.


Why
what
happened?

he
asked
concerned.


I
resigned
today
.
I
settled
my
case.
I
typed
up
my
letter
of
resignation,
effective
immediately
and
I
announced,

Peace
o
ut
Bitches!'
I
ecstatically
screamed.


Are
you
serious?

He
asked
stunned.


Oh
I
am
very
serious
a
nd
extremely
unemployed.

I
nodded
in
affirmation
as
I
stripped
off
all
of
my
clothes
and
headed,
naked,
to
the
bed.


Okay
so
what
are
you
doing?
Why
are
you
getting
in
the
bed?

Logic
asked
confused.


We
don't
have
anywhere
to
go
and
nothing
to
do,
but
each
other.
So
finish
shaving
and
come
to
bed
so
we
can
finish
what
you
started
earlier.


Yeah
about
that...


Logic,
don't
even
start
no
bullshit
...


I
kind
of
promised
my
friend's
that
we'd
stop
over
before
we
left
for
Vegas.
They're
having
a
New
Years
Eve
gathering,
so
I
figured
tonight
would
be
a
good
time
to
get
it
over
with.


So
I'm
assuming
your
Queen
will
be
there.


Her
name
is
Mye
Queen
and
she's
no
longer
my
queen.
In
fact
her
name
is
Mye
Love.
And
before
you
ask
she

s
not
my
love
either
,
y
ou
are.
Now,
to
answer
your
question,
yes
Queen
and
her
husband
will
be
there.
Just
so
you
know
,
it's
probably
not
wise
to
start
any
shit
after
just
quitting
your
job,
so
put
crazy
back
in
the
box
until
after
the
New
Year
like
we
agreed.

He
teased.


Is
this
going
to
be
awkward?


Yeah,
probably.
It's
going
to
be
awkward
for
me,
if
anybody.
My
friends
will
love
you,
especially
Queen.
Just
wait
you'll
see.

Queen
could
be
married
and
pregnant
with
twins
and
I
was
certain
that
she
wasn't
going
to
like
me
and
you
know
why
.
I

m
pretty,
I

m
smart,
I

m
successful
and
I

m
fucking
the
hell
out
of
her
ex
,
daily
.
Really,
I
don

t
give
a
flea
fuck
if
she
doesn

t
like
me
.

Who
the
fuck
remains
in
love
with
someone
from
the
time
they're
twelve
years
old
;
a
nd
then
decides
to
marry
someone
else
?
What
kind
of
shit
is
that?

I
asked
myself
as
I
turned
my
promise
ring
back
to
the
front
of
my
hand.


Are
you
okay?

Logic
asked
as
he
noticed
me
playing
with
my
ring.


So
what
do
we
say
about
the
ring?

I
asked
realizing
how
silly
I'd
sound
if
I
said
it
was
a
promise
ring.


What
do
you
want
to
say?


I
don't
want
to
say
anything,
but
there's
not
a
woman
on
the
planet
that's
not
going
to
notice
this
ring.
Your
friends
are
bound
to
ask,
especially
Queen.

Logic
climbed
beneath
the
covers
with
me
dressed
only
in
boxer
briefs.

Are
you
moving
with
me
to
Vegas?


Yes.
I
want
to.


It's
a
yes
or
no
question.
That's
all
I
need
to
hear,
yes
or
no.


Yes.


Then
tell
them
that
I
gave
it
to
you
for
Christmas
and
let
them
think
whatever
the
fuck
they
want
to
think.
I'm
a
grown
ass
man
and
you're
a
grown
ass
woman.
And
quite
frankly,
friends
or
not,
what
I
give
my
girl
is
none
of
their
damn
business.
Okay?


Queen's
going
to
be
jealous
and
upset
.

I
warned.


Queen's
married
and
pregnant.
I
don't
give
a
damn
how
she
feels.

Logic
declared.


Logic
please
tell
me
that
you're
not
doing
all
of
this
to
get
back
at
her
for
hurting
you.
