Chapter 6:Love Triangle

Edited....

Toya's hand draped around Reggie's shoulder stirred something she hadn't felt in a while. She stood there frozen, watching a smiling Toya and shocked Reggie. She couldn't think straight, all she knew was that she needed to get out of there and never return.

She turned to leave but Toya's words halted her. "Thanks for taking care of Reggie for me."

Her thoughts ran wild as she got in her car. What was I thinking? Showing up at that man's house. How could I think that Reggie Williams, the guy who bullied me through high school, felt something for me?

Reggie looked at the woman he once loved and cared for. Back then, he thought she was going to be his wife and the mother of his kids. Toya wanted more, she wanted to see more, so she left him to travel the world. She packed up her things and left him in a one-bedroom rundown apartment.

He had saved to buy an engagement ring, nothing fancy. The day he was going to propose to her, Latoya was nowhere to be found. He sat in the apartment with the ring in his hand, thinking about the woman who he fell in love with, the woman who stole his heart, but she left him and all he could do was cry. Cry because the woman he thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with broke his heart; shattered it into a million pieces.

He vowed that day to never fall in love again. He got himself enrolled in college and started his life from there. Nights he prayed for the day she shows up telling him that the world had nothing for and her rightful place was with him, but she didn't. She never came back until now.

Months later, he heard she was pregnant when one of his friends saw her. he couldn't believe she had given up on them.

***

Three weeks, three weeks she laid in bed crying to her heart's content. She and Reggie weren't in a relationship, but yet she felt something for him, she knew some part of him felt it too.

She only came out to eat and some days, her mama would leave the plate of food by the door. Eve wanted to ask what happened at Reggie's house, but Queenie refused to even open the door. Nights she prayed for her daughter to talk to her but her prayers went unanswered.

Queenie sat up on her bed, stretching her aching limbs then she opened her window, letting in some fresh air and sunshine. Today was the day; she was finally leaving her room. She was tired of being cooped up, wallowing in self-pity for a man who couldn't love her. Showering and dressing in her sweatpants, tank top and flip-flops, she checks her phone for messages. There was only one from Reggie, none from Marcus.

A part of her will always love Markus, even though he left after confessing that he still loves her. This time around, she was not going to cry or dwell on any man. She only cared for herself, call her selfish. With her hand on the door knob, she was about to be freed from the cage she trapped herself in. She was at the top of the stairs when she heard chattering from downstairs and smiled, hearing laughter for the first time in three weeks.

"It's good to finally see you out that damn room," she was a bit startled hearing Kayden's voice behind her.

Queenie turned around to see Mr Sexy himself, dressed in a grey v-neck t-shirt, jeans and black supra on his feet. Damn he looks good, she thought as she looked him over one more time.

"Ah, I see a smile," he stated. Kayden glanced at his watch then at Queenie, as much as he was willing to stay and chat he wanted to finish grading his paper.

Queenie saw him looking at his watch, "Are you busy?" she asked stuffing her hands in her pockets.

"Going to the college. Do you want to come?" he asked with an arch brow. She smiled and nodded, she wanted to see how much Richmond College had change and most importantly see him in action. If only they had sexy professors back then, things would have been a lot easier. She thought biting her lip.

Kayden looked at Queenie biting her lip and smiled. He missed her presence even though she put some distance between them, he just missed her.

He walked down the stairs with Queenie in tow. In comfortable silence, they got into his Range Rover and drove the thirty minutes to the college. Queenie was in awe at of much things have changed, the college was huge, even her mansion couldn't compare.
