something for you. ” Tyson smiled as he glanced over the papers before signing.
“ I bet you have. ” I smiled . “ I saw it when you came in. ”
Tyson laughed. “ Yeah, I guess you did. Of course I have that and something else. I still have your Christmas gift. ”
“ Really, is it a ring? ” I asked as I made sure the diamond setting of my promise ring was still turned to the inside of my hand.
Tyson laughed. “ I think you’ll agree that we have a few hurdles to clear before we get around to that. But, I think you'll like it. In fact, I'm sure you'll l ove it. I promise. So I'll stop by your place tonight after the ball. ”
“ Sure , b ring them both by t onight . ” I agreed knowing damn well that I wasn't going to be there.
A broad sexy grin crossed Tyson's handsome face as I sealed the deal with a professional handshake and a sweet goodbye kiss on his lips. Little did he realize that it was a goodbye forever kiss.
“ Toy next year I want you to apply for a position in the DA's office. Okay? ”
“ We'll see. ” I smiled . As if I would even consider that bullshit. I sucked his dick because I wanted to. I was not about to start sucking it because I had to. Fuck that!
After Tyson left I gave the signed papers to my boss and instructed him to file them immediately. Then I went in my office to type up my resignation letter. Even if I wanted to stay I realized that abruptly ending my relationship with Tyson would effectively destroy or completely end my career as an attorney in DC. Tyson was a politically connected and very powerful man. He was indeed a strong ally to have in your corner, but I knew he could be a deadly, vindictive viper if he ever turned against you. I decided to quit while I was ahead and take Logic up on his offer to move to Vegas. Besides, I couldn't fathom sleeping without him either.
I left my resignation, which was effective immediately, on Walt's desk along with a note apologizing for the extremely short notice and skipping the Mayor's Ball.
Chapter 12
Elated, I rushed back to the apartment to tell Logic the good news only to find him getting ready for the Ball.
“ I'm almost dressed. ” He announced as he finished shaving. “ You can have the bathroom in five minutes.
“ Don't rush, because we're not going. ”
“ Why what happened? ” he asked concerned.
“ I resigned today . I settled my case. I typed up my letter of resignation, effective immediately and I announced, ‘ Peace o ut Bitches!' I ecstatically screamed.
“ Are you serious? ” He asked stunned.
“ Oh I am very serious a nd extremely unemployed. ” I nodded in affirmation as I stripped off all of my clothes and headed, naked, to the bed.
“ Okay so what are you doing? Why are you getting in the bed? ” Logic asked confused.
“ We don't have anywhere to go and nothing to do, but each other. So finish shaving and come to bed so we can finish what you started earlier. ”
“ Yeah about that... ”
“ Logic, don't even start no bullshit ... ”
“ I kind of promised my friend's that we'd stop over before we left for Vegas. They're having a New Years Eve gathering, so I figured tonight would be a good time to get it over with.
“ So I'm assuming your Queen will be there. ”
“ Her name is Mye Queen and she's no longer my queen. In fact her name is Mye Love. And before you ask she ’ s not my love either , y ou are. Now, to answer your question, yes Queen and her husband will be there. Just so you know , it's probably not wise to start any shit after just quitting your job, so put crazy back in the box until after the New Year like we agreed. ” He teased.
“ Is this going to be awkward? ”
“ Yeah, probably. It's going to be awkward for me, if anybody. My friends will love you, especially Queen. Just wait you'll see. ”
Queen could be married and pregnant with twins and I was certain that she wasn't going to like me and you know why . I ’ m pretty, I ’ m smart, I
