“
I'm
afraid
.”
I
whispered
,
pulling
Logic
back
before
we
entered
the
room.
“
Of
what?
”
He
asked.
“
Don't
be...
These
are
my
friends.
If
I
like
you
then
they'll
love
you.
Okay?
”
He
responded
as
he
pulled
me
in
to
his
strong
, masculine
arms
and
comforted
me,
by
rubbing
the
small
of
my
back.
“
They
only
want
the
best
for
me
and
right
now,
that's
you.
Okay?
”
“
Yeah,
but
w
hat
if
they
don't
like
me?
Logic
all
of
this
is
too
soon.
I
feel
like
a
crazy
ass
fool.
I
fuckin
can't
believe
that
I
quit
my
job
to
move
to
Vegas.
I
can
’
t
do
this.
I
must
have
lost
my
fuckin
mind.
Oh
my
God.
I
quit
my
job.
What
am
I
going
to
do?
”
“
Toy,
where
did
we
promise
to
leave
the
box?
”
He
teased.
“…
Beneath
the
Christmas
tree
until
after
New
Years.
”
I
mumbled
as
he
pressed
his
soft
lips
against
mine,
before
kissing
them
gently.
“
Okay
just
checking.
”
He
chuckled
as
he
sampled
my
lips
again
.
Wanting
and
needing
more
he
d
rew
my
body
to
his,
kissing
me
hard
and
wet.
His
kiss
was
sweet
and
genuine
and
I
immediately
relaxed.
“
Oh
my
God!
Queen
it's
Logic.
”
Jade
exclaimed.
“
Come
on
in.
What
are
you
two
doing
in
the
hall
,
other
than
fooling
around
?
”
A
big
grin
burst
across
Logic's
face
as
Jade
came
out
to
greet
us.
He
hugged
her
tight,
lifting
her
tiny
frame
off
of
the
floor.
“
God
you
look
good.
How
have
you
been?
”
“
I'm
good.
What
about
you?
”
She
asked
as
she
quickly
scanned
me
with
her
skank
detector.
“
I'm
great.
Where
is
my
niece?
”
“
She's
sleep.
Don't
worry.
She'll
be
up
in
an
hour
or
so.
Logic,
introduce
me
to
your
friend.
”
“
Jade
this
is
my
girlfriend,
Zatoya
Waters.
Zatoya
this
is
Jade,
Dorian's
wife.
Zatoya's
an
attorney.
She
works
for
the
Public
Defender's
Office
in
DC.
”
“
It
is
so
good
to
meet
you
Zatoya.
”
Jade
said
as
she
hugged
me.
Come
on
in
and
let
me
introduce
you
to
everyone.
A
huge
smile
crossed
my
face
as
a
sweet
smile
from
Jade
assured
me
that
I
was
welcome
in
her
home.
Logic
saw
it
and
winked
to
say.
“
I
told
you
so.
”
Grabbing
his
hand
I
followed
him
into
the
great
room
in
anticipation
of
meeting
his
Queen
and
the
current
keeper
of
the
shattered
pieces
of
his
heart.
“
Oh
my
God
Logic!
Look
at
you.
You
look
so
good.
”
The
obviously
pregnant
Queen
squealed
as
she
tried
to
wrestle
her
way
off
the
couch
w
h
ere
she
set
next
to
her
husband.
“
No,
way!
Damn,
you
’
re
big
!
Hey,
don't
get
up.
I'll
come
to
you.
”
He
said
as
he
dropped
my
hand
to
go
over
to
give
her
a
hug.
“
How
have
you
been
?
You
look
like
you're
ready
to
pop
that
baby
out
any
second
now.
What
are
you
carrying
in
there
a
baby
elephant?
”
He
joked
as
he
hugged
her
tight.
“
Don't
even
get
her
started.
”
Christian,
her
astonishingly
handsome
husband
laughed.
“
She's
got
at
least
two
more
months
to
go
and
she's
counting
every
damn
second.
”
“
Hey,
what's
up
man?
”
Logic
asked
as
Christian
stood
up
to
greet
him
with
a
dap.
“
I
can't
complain.
Life's
good
right
now.
What
about
you.
”
“
I
heard
that.
Life
’
s
good
for
me
too.
Look,
this
is
my
girlfriend,
Zatoya
Waters.
She's
a
Public
Defender
in
DC.
”
Logic
announced
as
he
looked
back
to
retrieve
me
from
w
here
he
left
me.
“
Toy,
come
here.
”
He
beckoned.
“
Zatoya
this
is
Queen
and
her
husband
Christian.
”
“
Hi,
it's
a
pleasure
to
meet
you
both.
”
I
smiled
as
I
watched
Queen's
face
break
into
a
big
smile
of
approval.
