Queen Pin

Making Moves Part. . .3

Carlos's P.O.V

I woke up the next morning to hearing a baby cry. We'd pretty much been hearing that all night but Queen was the one to get up every time. Hell she damn near broke her neck trying to get to the baby before I could the one time I did get up. I could tell she was tired this round cause she barely moved an inch. I got up and went to the bassinet that was set on Queen's side of the bed and lifted baby London out with the blanket.

"Aww, what's wrong mama? You hungry, need a diaper change, or you just want somebody to talk to you?" She only replied with more cries so I just went ahead and changed her diaper which was the first problem. Then I fed and burped her as she just sat and stared at me. I propped myself up on the headboard and just talked to her for awhile and she eventually dozed back off to sleep with a cute little yawn. I guess I bored her death. I laid her back down in the bassinet and was about to lay back down until I heard a buzzing sound.

I walked around the room trying to figure out where it came from. The closer I got to my clothes, it got louder. I realized it was my phone but just as I was about to grab it, it stopped. I shrugged about to turn back around but it started ringing again. I grabbed it out of my pants looking at the screen and saw it was Vanessa. Shit, I forgot about her. I know if I don't answer, it'll be hell when I walked through those doors so I decided to answer.

"Wassup Nessa", I asked whispering. Forgetting I had my volume set to the loudest her voice blared through the phone.

"Where the fuck are you and why are you whispering?" I heard a soft whimper and I realized it was London. If she woke either London or Queen up it would be hell so I just stepped out of the room and walked down the hallway.

"Man first of all it's 8 something in the moring, why the fuck you yellin'? I was whispering because there was a baby present in the room I was in and I didn't wanna wake her up. Now wassup?"

"Why you didn't come home last night? I was up worried about you and I didn't know what to think, I thought something happened to you."

"Well the meeting ran over and later than I thought. Then some shit with Queen came up so I had to crash at her place last night." The phone got real quiet and I knew she was about to blow up at any moment. But I've never lied to Vanessa about anything I did and I wasn't about to start now. I'm a grown ass man with no secrets.

"So you mean to tell me, that you didn't come home last night because you was with Queen?"

I took a deep breath before replying, "Yea Nessa."

"Man what type of shit is that? Not only did you not come home, but you didn't come home because of that bitch. I don't give a damn about nothing she got going on. You should've brung yo ass home. I'm your woman, not her. How would you feel if I did some shit like that?"

"Hold the fuck up. Don't call her no bitch cause she has a name. I told you from the jump about me and her and what we went through. I also distinctly remeber telling you that if there was ever a time that she needed me, then I would be right there no matter what and I remeber you agreeing with the shit. So son't act like yo ass didn't know and please don't act brand new because you know I hate that shit."

"Yea, I agreed to the shit but I didn't think there would ever become a time that she popped up again Like what the fuck you really expect me to be cool with this shit?"

"Look man, like I just said I told you what it was from the jump. You made your decision so you can either stick by it or be gone its that fucking simple."

"And you even defending the bitch. How would you feel if I did some shit like that?"

"First off, call her another bitch if you want to. Stop asking me all these questions man. I'm on my way home."
