  CHAPTER 1

  Queen and Jade scurry across the campus of Frederick Douglas College, in an effort to reach the campus' Coffee Shop before it closed. They were starving and they were determined to grab a bite to eat before practice.

  "So, please remind me again why in the hell did I allow you to talk me into joining the damn Cheerleading Squad? What the hell was I thinking? My ass is way too big for this short ass skirt," Queen complained as she tugged on the skirt of her cheerleader’s uniform in a futile attempt to make it appear longer.

  "Question, are you bitching because your ass is too big or because somehow your skirt just happens to be shorter than mine?" Jade sarcastically asked.

  "Don't be smart... it's not attractive. My skirt appears shorter, because my legs are longer. Besides you don’t have as much ass as I do. So yeah, my skirt is shorter than yours. "

  "Well, I guess that's what you get for being born a giraffe with a big ass."

  "You know what? You're right; it could be a whole lot worse. I could have been born a cute little leprechaun like you. But then I'd have to spend my entire life on my back, or even worse on my knees searching for Me wee pot of gold."

  "Actually, I prefer to be on top.” Jade corrected. “Anyway... work that skirt right and you won't have to search. You think I cheer because I got team spirit? To hell with that shit!"

  "Do you really think that I don't know why you cheer?" Queen laughed.

  "Laugh if you want, but a rich man fucks just as good as a broke one. And college is the perfect place to hitch a ride on a shooting star. And that skirt is guaranteed to get you a ticket to ride."

  "Yeah, or I could just get a good education, make my own damn money and fuck who I want. This skirt screams come and ride me."

  "You say that like it's a bad thing. Besides, I think you just snagged the attention of two of the campus' brightest stars."

  Queen, looks around to see who Jade was talking about.

  "What are you doing? Don't turn around. Try to act like you're not interested. Damn I got to teach you everything."

  "Trust me, it's not an act. I just got out of boy toy drama. Hell, I transferred here to get away from baby mama drama. Jade, I just got here. Can I please at least have one semester without some type of drama?"

  "Queen, no man is without drama that's why women are born drama queens. Suit yourself, but you might want to see what you're passing on before you say I pass."

  "Who are you talking about?"

  "Wait one second and you'll find out."

  Paul and Teddy were leaving the campus when they spotted Jade and Queen on their way to the Student Union.

  "Damn! Who's the Pretty Kitty with Jade?" Paul asked as he watched Jade scroll by them as if she didn't even know they existed.

  Teddy catches a glimpse of Queen's long legs, short skirt and ghetto booty as the pair pass by. "Oh, the new Spirit Stick? That's my next ex." Teddy joked as he made a detour to follow Queen's luscious romp wherever it chose to lead him.

  "I'm going to have to say the nay no to that bullshit my brutha, because I saw her first." Paul said as the rhythm of Queen's ass hypnotized him.

  "What? Nigga this ain't no Easter egg hunt. Let the young lady choose."

  "Now I'm convinced that you're delusional. You don't have a pop sickle chance in hell with that girl."

  "Well I guess we'll see in a minute." Teddy smiled.

  "Hey Jade! Hold up!" Paul called as they closed in on Jade and Queen.

  "Yeah... where's the damn fire? I can't believe that you just walked pass us and didn't bother to speak. You know your mama taught you better than that, with your rude ass self," Teddy added as they finally caught up to the girls.

  Jade stops abruptly and faces the two men. She stares Teddy down before speaking.

  "So, I'm the rude ass one? How long where you two walking behind us admiring Queen's ass before you decided to speak?"

  "What? We weren't..."

  Jade quickly cuts Paul off in mid sentence. "I've known you all my life and I know exactly what you were doing. So don't lie."

  "So, your name's Queen?" Teddy's deep sultry voice inquired as he moved closer to Queen.

  "Her names Nunny... as in none of your business, since I'm so damn rude."

  "Why can't you two ever just get along? Apologize to her," Paul urges Teddy.

  "Whatever. It was rude."

  Paul shoots Teddy a dirty look and nudges Teddy to apologize.

  "Why am I always the one who has to apologize? Jade knows I didn't mean any disrespect. Stop playing; introduce us to the new Cheerleader."

  "Okay I'm only going to say this once so you'd better get it right the first time. This is not another pom - pom that you can spin and toss. This is my best friend. She just transferred here from the University of Maryland. So, if you try to hound her, clown her or dog pound her... I'm going to take it real personal and I'm gonna beat that ass. Do we have an understanding?"

  "Fair enough," Paul conceded.

  "Hey I've never spun anybody that didn't want to be spun or tossed anybody that didn't deserve to be l
et go, so it's whatever."

  Queen smiled at Teddy's frank honesty.

  "Okay, well Queen I'd like you to meet Hell and Hell No!" Jade replied as she pointed to Paul and Teddy respectively.

  Queen laughed.

  "Damn Jade! That wasn't necessary. Paul shook his head in disbelief.

  "Why I got to be Hell No?" Teddy takes offense.

  "You're right. My bad. Queen meet Hell to the No!"

  "So I guess that's how it's going to be. Huh, Jade?"

  "Yeah, I guess it is. I told you this one is personal. I've known you as long as I've known Paul and I know exactly what your agenda is going to be. And I'm not going to stand by and let you mind fuck her."

  Queen had seen and heard enough. "Hi I'm Mye Queen, but you can call me Queen."

  "What if I want to call you my queen?" Teddy flirted.

  "You'd probably have a big problem with me and Red Sonja if you tried," Paul replied never loosing eye contact with Queen as he stepped in front of Teddy as if he wasn't even there. "Hi, I'm Paul Crown and this is my knuckle head best friend Teddy Bear Davine."

  Intrigued Queen asks, "So, who's Red Sonja?"

  Paul teased, "Yeah who is Red Sonja, Bear?"

  Before Teddy could respond an attractive tall, big boned girl with auburn colored hair sneaks up and hugs him from behind.

  "Hey baby. I've been looking for you." She steals a kiss on the lips before announcing, "I'm Red Sonja."

  A big smile illuminates Queen's face as she enjoyed the sight of the cocky Teddy squirm. "Hi, Red Sonja, I'm Jade's friend Queen. It's a pleasure to meet you."

  "Nice to meet you too Queen." Red Sonja replied as she hugged Teddy tighter.

  "Hey Red Sonja."

  "What's up Jade?"

  "Not much. We're trying to get to the cafe before they close. But it doesn't look like we're going to make it."

  "Are y’all hungry? I'll take you off campus to get something to eat, my treat." Everyone was instantly excited. "That is if Queen will go out with me after the game tonight." Paul offered.

  "Well I guess you have a date tonight because I'm as hungry as hell." Jade informs Queen. "She'd love to."

  "Damn, let the girl speak for herself Jade." Teddy complained.

  "So what do you think Mye Queen? I can tell by your uniform that you'll be at the game. Will you go out with me afterward?" Paul asked.

  Queen stared into his big hazel eyes and replied, "Sure, why not. Besides I'm starving."

  Little did she know that she had just agreed to open her heart to a lifetime of love and a world of hurt.

  ~*~*~

  Queen rode with Paul in the front of his new Cadillac Escalade pickup truck. Although he appeared humble, Jade had eluded to fact that Paul was from a wealthy Atlanta family who spared no expense to keep their son comfortable and happy. As they rode through the busy streets of Atlanta Queen pretended not to notice his obsession with her.

  Granted he was extremely handsome, well built and absolutely adorable, but so was the last man she dated. Still there was something about his easy confidence and effortless sexiness that fascinated her. His chiseled features and his alluring, haunting eyes drew Queen into a comfortable easiness. His spirit instantly soothed and reassured her and she felt safe.

  As Teddy dominated the conversation Queen seized the opportunity to sneak a peek at what she knew had to be one of the sexiest, charismatic men that she had ever met. Quite opposite of Paul his cocky brash sexiness made her uneasy yet she couldn't keep her mind or eyes off of him. Nonetheless, his name- Hell to the No seemed appropriate and probably well earned.

  "So, what class are you in Queen?" Teddy asked as he tried to slither away from Red Sonja who was draped over him like a cheap Sunday suit.

  "I'm a senior."

  "What's your Major?" Paul asked.

  "Pre- Med. What's your?"

  "Pre NFL." Paul laughed.

  "Yeah, me too!" Teddy co-signed.

  "Oh really, are we good or good and delusional?" Queen joked.

  "Oh I am like that." Paul smiled.

  "Oh yeah?" Queen asked knowing that they were no longer talking about football. "That's comforting."

  Paul's smile quickly turned into a grin of approval as he soaked in Queen's sensuality. Slowly his eyes wandered up her long tone legs past her thick thighs to her taunt ample breasts which strained the fabric of her uniform. Distracted, he momentarily forgot that he was driving and ran off the road.

  "Hey Cowboy! Keep your eyes on the damn road and not up Queen's skirt, before you kill us all. Some of us got a future to look forward to." Jade warned jogging him back to reality.

  "My bad. My future had me a little distracted."

  Queen unmoved one way or the other pretended not to hear him. She knew he liked her and the truth of the matter was that she liked him too. But it was way too soon to get infatuated by charm and bullshit. This wasn't her first climb on the pretty boy tree. And one thing that she learned from her previous falls was to take it slow. "So what position do you play?"

  "I'm the Quarterback." Paul responded as he pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant.

  "Starting or backup Quarterback?"

  "You're cute. I said I was the Quarterback, not a Quarterback. They only need one Quarterback when they have me."

  "What about you Teddy? What position do you play?" Queen inquired.

  "Paul throws it up and I catch it. I'm a Wide Receiver. And before you even ask I am not only a starting Wide Receiver, I am a Super Star."

  "And he's humble too." Jade sarcastically remarked. "Can we please go in and eat? We'll be out here all day while Teddy blows his own damn horn." Jade complains.

  "As long as I'm around Teddy will never have to blow his own horn. Y’all can go ahead. We'll be there in a few." Red Sonja replies as her hand rubs Teddy's inner thigh.

  "Oh hell no! Y’all can get out of my truck with that bullshit. Cause I swear to God if I get back here and my truck smells like dick and ass I'm going to be pissed. And somebody-Teddy will be detailing it for the next six months. I don't know who- Teddy, but somebody- Teddy will get that new car smell back. Teddy!" Paul declared as he prepared to get out of the truck.

  "To hell with that, I barely clean my own damn truck. Chill, nobody's going to funk up your truck. Besides, I'm hungrier than I am horny." Teddy said before whispering something in Red Sonja's ear. "Okay, let's go eat."

  Paul, being the gentlemen that he was raised to be, walked around the truck to open the door for Jade and Queen leaving Red Sonja in the middle to deal with Teddy. As he helped Queen out of the vehicle she could sense his uneasiness as he took her hand into his for the first time.

  His tall six foot six, lean muscular frame towered over Queen like a gigantic Redwood tree, even though she was above average height for a woman. But Queen didn't mind, in fact she loved tall men. She found it extremely difficult to date men her height. She was a perpetual sucker for the gentle giants.

  Yet, the rough and tough and ready nature of Teddy was surprisingly exhilarating to her. Standing close to six five Teddy's massive muscular frame was awe inspiring. His broad shoulders and pearly white smile was captivating and his sexy, natural swagger was absolutely intoxicating. A giant he obviously was, but his gentleness was yet to be seen. Still there was an undeniable soft spot for Queen lurking in his spirit.

  As they walked to the restaurant Queen noticed that Teddy lingered behind fiddling with his phone. After feeling the sting of an intense set of piercing eyes on her ass Queen turned to see him fixated on her booty. She realized that the phone bit was just a ploy to divert Red Sonja's attention while he got another look at her cookies. Though their eye contact was brief, and no words were spoken, Queen knew that he was as uneasy in her presence as she was in his. Yes, there was an inexplicable, freakish force of nature brewing between the two of them and somehow Queen instinctively knew that it was not going to end pretty.

  CHAPTER 2

  The football game was sp
ectacular. True to their word both Paul and Teddy were Super Stars in their own right. Just like Teddy said... “Paul throws it up and I catch it.” At the end of the night between the two of them they had delivered an impressive twenty four to nothing victory to FDC.

  All said and done they gave Queen something to cheer about. Suddenly her skirt didn't seem so short and her legs didn't seem too long. She was happy and FDC finally felt like a place that she could call home.

  As they waited outside for the football team to be dismissed by the coach Jade felt it prudent to give Queen some motherly advice. "Don't fuck him tonight."

  "What? I can't believe you think that I'd..."

  "Queen, don't try to play innocent with me. You heard what I said. And for the record, just so we're clear let me rephrase that statement. Don't fuck either one of them tonight. Do you understand me?"

  "See now you're tripping."

  "Don't think I didn't see what was going on between you and Teddy. I caught on to it the moment you two laid eyes on each other."

  "Teddy has a girlfriend. I wouldn't do that to Red Sonja."

  "Girl please! At any given time Teddy will have several girlfriends. Red Sonja is just the flavor of the week. I just don't want you to end up next week’s special."

  "So, what about Paul?"

  "Paul's different. He actually enjoys a monogamous relationship. Unfortunately, he has a bad habit of confusing hookers with housewives. He just keeps picking the wrong girl."

  "So is he seeing anybody now?"

  "Apparently not. He asked you out after a game."

  "Well don't worry about me. I have no intentions of being an easy lay for anyone. Not for Paul and especially not for Teddy."

  "Okay you say that now. But you'll look around and Teddy will have your thong in his mouth. I'm telling you he's slick like that. That nigga could charm Mother Teresa out of her habit."

  "He's not even going to be with us. I'm not worried about him. He's harmless."

  "Trust me. Before the night is over you will see Teddy Davine and Red Sonja will not be with him. He's going to get rid of her ass so that he's free to make a move on you. I can see it all over his face. He wants you, and he wants you really bad."
