She's My Queen

Chapter Three

ACE

"Hm." She hums her sweet sounds as I placed on final kiss to the spot that aches the most before placing a kiss on each thigh.

"Always sweet for me, Angel." I breathed against her soft skin.

"Hm, always?" Her words coming out in soft pants.

I crawled over her naked body and kissed her. Her soft hands cupped my face while pressing my body down to hers. Her head turned to the side, angling while her tongue slipped in my mouth, tasting herself.

She moaned when I ran my fingers up the nape of her neck and into her hair, the light strands tangling with my fingers.

A phone rang on the nightstand and by the sound of the ringer, it was hers.

I pulled away with after a quick kiss and reached over, grabbing her phone. I looked at the caller and gave the phone to her.

She looked at the screen and a sad expression formed across her face. She looked up at me and I moved off of her, nodding my head. She exhaled a breath and answered it.

"What's going on, Tiana?" She questioned.

I slipped off the bed and walked to the shower naked. I let her have her time with Tiana because the woman was going through a lot of problems. I know everything that happened but that's not something I would want to experience. I did not understand but I do. It was half and half.

"Of course I can watch her tomorrow. What time?" I overheard Camille just as I started the shower.

"Alright, see you at ten." She says.

After a moment, I heard the sheets ruffling and then she entered the bathroom in her naked beauty.

"Everything okay?" I asked her, the down look still on her face.

"It's just a lot going on but it's not my place to get involve between them. I can only hope they work it out." She says while making her way to me.

She wrapped her arms around my waist, her naked body pressed to mine and the heat travels between are beings.

"That's all you can do." I wrapped my arms around her, leaning forward to kiss the top of her head. "Now, lets take a shower."

She purred and got in first and me behind her.

NEXT MORNING

TIANA

"Thank you for doing this. Hello, Ace." I greeted, moving to the side to let them walk in.

"Where's my little niecy?" Camille smiles while walking further into the home. Her eyes lit up when she saw Cariana on the couch, surrounded by pillows, asleep.

I placed the items she might need in case she awakes and starts crying. Camille went to wash her hands along with Ace and returned.

"I fed her an hour ago and if she awakes crying, give her this." I handed Camille the turquoise pacifier.

She grabs it, nodding her head. "Where are you going?"

I was hesitant but I decided to tell her. "I'm going to the hospital."

Her eyes widen slightly. "Tiana, I don't think..."

I shake my head. "I need to go and get checked about this postpartum. I was still a bit woozy from the drugs when I had Cariana."

She stares at me, uncertain if that was the only reason. She was right to look like that. I truly am going to the hospital for my postpartum. I need help and I need to figure out a better way to bond with my child. I'm also going to visit my father.

I want to know everything from the start. I want to know how he got so involved with Cartron and why is he not accepting that I have a relationship with Carter and that we have a child together. I want to understand why.

"Okay, be careful and don't stay out to late." She smiles and walks towards the couch with Cariana.

"Just be careful." Ace says, secretly but quickly handing me the keys to his car rental.

I nod, thanking him. Camille doesn't know that I asked him to borrow his car since I had no other ride. I was not risking a lift. Not with Cariana around me twenty four seven.

I hurried out the house, locking up behind me and getting in the car. I started the engine and after snapping on my seatbelt, I drove off in the direction of the hospital.

It didn't take to long to arrive at the hospital. I found an empty spot and parked the car.  I shut the car off but I did not get out. Though I was here for the postpartum, I couldn't help but feel nervous. My father was here in this hospital, in a coma and Cartron was here, not dead.

I swallowed down my nervousness and checked my purse for the loaded gun I've been carrying ever since Carter gave it to me.

Now that I have taken the time to get my life together, I was not going to risk Cariana for anything.

I got out, locking the doors behind me and walking in the direction of the hospital doors. I was about a good six feet from the door when out of nowhere, a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me in another direction.

A high squeak left my lips and when I went to attack whoever it was, I paused, glaring at Carter for scaring me like that.

He pulled me back to the car lot and we stopped when we made it to his black SUV. I couldn't tell if there was one in there but my answer to that was coming. He unlocked the doors and opened the back seat.

I opened my mouth in protest but stopped when I saw him looking down at me in warning. Exhaling a breath, I got in, sliding to the other side and he got in closing the door behind him.

"You really need to stop doing that." I say, looking ahead.

"Why are you up here? Hopefully not to see your father." His tone snarky.

I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. "You're following me now?"

"My question." He said, annoyed now.

"I'm getting help." I say lowly, looking at my fingers.

He said nothing and the car fell silent. But it was only for a moment. When he didn't say anything, I spoke up.

"I don't want to feel like my daughter hates me. I just want to get help for the postpartum." I say, this time looking up to find him staring at me.

His eyes were hard but they grew soft with each word I spoke. "Where is she?"

"With Camille. I asked her to watch her while I come here. You thought I was going to see my dad?"

His silence was answer enough.

I shake my head, rubbing my face. I could feel tears brimming and I looked over to him. "You're a hypocrite."

He frowns, confusion conjuring his face. He opened his mouth to speak but I wasn't done.

"You think so little of me that I would actually come up here by myself to see him. I know what he did Carter. All I asked of you was not to kill and you almost had. You tricked me and if I wasn't there, you really would have shot him dead. You hurt me."

I could see the anger rise within him. Slickly, I placed my hand on the door. "I hurt you? I'm making sure nothing happens to you. To Cariana. You know they wanted her and you're still defending that man you call your dad. He's a piece of shît. He really doesn't care for you. But I do. You need to pick a fvcking side."

"Pick a side? I'm on your side."

"Sure as hell not acting like it." He mutters. "So what is it? You with me or not?"

That's when the tears fell. "All I asked for was a break. You got yours, remember? Remember you never answered my calls, never once called me. That was until you found out I was pregnant with Cariana. Two months. Two fvcking months. I only ask for a few weeks to get my mind together and....and....." I trailed off.

My heart beating fast. This was too much and I did not want to argue with him. I was here for my postpartum and to do right with Cariana. I'm stressed and I have a lot on my mind too. Carter wasn't the only one that has a lot of shît on his mind.

That was why I gave him the ring back. Far from being a married. It's chaotic. Everywhere and everyone.

I was sad, depressed, stressed, tired, hurt, pain, angry, and sick. Happy was at the bottom of the list.

"You want me to choose than I'll choose." I said, staring him in the eyes head on. "Our relationship is over as of this moment of our hectic lives." My voice breaking.

Not saying another word, I pulled at the handle, opening the door, and getting out. I slammed it shut and I heard Carter's door open.

"Tiana." His tone warning and I did not stop walking.

"Leave me alone, Carter." I shot back, not risking a glance back.

I heard a door slam and soon footsteps. In seconds, a firm hand gripped my waist, and his hard body in front of me. I looked off to the side but I could feel his eyes burning into my head. He exhaled a frustrating breath, his hands still on my waist. One of his hands let go and found its way to my face, grabbing my chin and forcing me to look up at him. His eyes soft but his entire body language was hard.

"Do you really want that?" His voice low and rough.

There was no anger or no annoyance. He was holding back his emotions.

"No." The word left my lips in a whisper.

He stared down at me for a long moment before leaning down and placed a kiss on my head.

"I'll give you you're time but know that this," he gestures between us. "Is forever, babe."

Always and forever.

I say nothing and he pulls away from me. "You call me when you get back home. Then we'll talk about sharing days with Cariana."

I nod and he steps out of my way and I walked straight inside the hospital.

CARTRON

I winced as I tried to relax myself on the uncomfortable mattress.

That b***h shot me.

But not I'm still alive.

My son must have not been teaching the girl right but I also knew this was all still new to her.

What's happened to me is a major set back on what I've worked so hard to achieve.

It upsets me a great deal because I was so close to ending my son and my ungrateful daughter was next. My feelings towards my children have faded a long time ago.

They'll do anything they can to ruin me and that is why I'm having trouble come up with a way to get rid of them. They've been disowned by me a while ago. All I want is the child.

King can die easy. He's in a coma. Already lying in his death bed.

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a knock. I cleared my throat and answered. "Enter." My voice was a bit raspy but I would be fine to hold a quick conversation.

The door opened and in came one of my men. "Is there anything I can get you sir?"

"Yes, information. What's to report?"

"There is no sign of Brian, sir. Carter is lying low and Camille is off the pages."

"Ace?"

"He's doing everything in his power to keep Camille off the grid but we all know she's with him."

"Get me hold of a phone. I would like to make a personal call." I rasped.

He nods and excuses himself out the door to retrieve a phone.

Ace Buller. Hmm, a call to his family might do him justice.

Thoughts on Tiana and Carter?

There's a HUGE debate on what's happened these past chapters and what's happened at the end of book one. Some side with Carter, some side with Tiana, and some are neutral.

What is everyone's opinion, honestly?

ALSO, your girl just graduated. I'm officially out of school and on to the next chapter of my life. Whoop!!
