His Queen

Summer Loving

It was amazing, the first few days spent on a beach, or in Tyrone’s pool. Tyrone took Cleo out for cute dates that could be shown in a romantic comedy slide show of progress. Tyrone liked having Cleo over, and having her in his bed made him happy. They went to her grandfather’s home and had dinner with him and Ms. Ida.  

He apologized for missing the actual graduation, but Cleo knew he’d gotten a touch of pneumonia and hadn’t expected him to be there. She’d basically had to tell Ms. Ida to lock him inside the house if need be. 

It was all good though. After dinner with Tyrone, Sean, and Hailey, they’d all come over.  

Eating cake in the kitchen and drinking coffee seemed to beat the other nights being had. As both their timelines filled with seniors getting drunk together for the final time. When asked if they’d rather be out with kids their own age, both laughed.  

“No thanks,” Hailey admitted as she fed Sean a bite of her cake. “We’d rather be right here.” Cleo finished as she curled into Tyrone. And of course, he agreed. Tyrone liked her next to him. Nice and comfortable, Cleo was the aesthetic of perfect for him.  

For example, the one thing his exes refused to do, she did it eagerly. (GET YA MIND OUT THE GUTTA!)  

He liked she’d been down for camping, going to a place his family had gone in summers when he was a kid. Setting up the bonfire and helping him grab the firewood, Cleo hadn’t seemed like a nature girl. But surprisingly enough, she melded in wherever she wished to be.  

Dressed in his sweats and a tank top, Cleo watched him work as she got the food out.   

He’d set up a tent for them himself, strong fairy lights in a tree so it wouldn’t be too dark. Cleo surprised him with her bravery though. She loved the outdoors and the two days in the woods by a lake seemed to bring them both a sense of peace.  

After leaving the secluded area, they went home to Hailey baking cookies with a little girl. “Hey, welcome home!” She greeted as the little girl, at first laughing was now hiding behind her. “How was camping?”  

Cleo came into the kitchen with Tyrone, “So fun, you should have come!” Hailey snorted as she looked at Cleo amused, “And I be the one to see the snake, or lizards, or bugs!” Making a gagging face Hailey shook her head quickly, “Nope, nope, can’t do it, I’d be the biggest little cry baby and I’d die out there. An hour, and I’m out.”  

Tyrone laughed as he teased, “Come on now, it’s so freeing and nice. You sleep in nature and wake up recharged somehow.” Hailey laughed as she mockingly teased back, “Yeah but no place to charge your phone! I’m good, on that big guy. I’m boogie, I need a bed and AC.”  

Waving her off, Cleo peeked back at the little girl peeking at her.  

“Hi, and who might you be princess?” Giggles, and then, “I’m Kimmie.” Tyrone looked at Hailey with a knowing look, “And since when do you babysit Sean’s little sister?” Hailey looked at him with a playfully annoyed look, “Silence boy, or you get no cookies.” Kimmie giggled more, “No cookies for you Mr. Tyrone!”  

Tyrone pouted at Kimberly, “Aw, I thought you wuved me.” His puppy dog eyes had the four-year-old quickly saying, “You can have one!” Hugging his legs, Tyrone patted her head and then looked at Hailey mockingly. 

Rolling her eyes, Hailey said, “Sean had to go and handle something and his babysitter flaked at the last minute. I wasn’t doing anything, and she wanted to bake cookies, we became instant bffs, ain’t that right gorgeous?”  

Kimberly nodded eagerly and Cleo aww’d at the sweetness of how the little girl beamed at Hailey.  

After dishing up the double-chip chocolate chip cookies, they all had one and a glass of milk. As Kimberly kept them in stitches laughing as her cute self made the kitchen brighter, it was moments later Sean came in.  

Seeing his little sister so warmed up now to Hailey, he smiled happily. “Hey,” Hailey grinned, “Hey back.” Not even taking in the fact his boss and Cleo were there, he walked over to her. Kissing Kimberly’s head, he rose and met Hailey’s hazel eyes.  

God, he wanted to kiss her so badly. And as Kimberly munched on a cookie, she gave her big brother the recap. Bubbly and eager, Kim told Sean all the sweet things Hailey had done for her today.  

And every one of them had been things he’d told her about his sister. And it made him want to kiss her even more.  

Giving Hailey a look, he watched her eyes say she wants it. But not right now, little eyes he raised were watching. Grinning, Sean turned away slowly and found both Cleo and Tyrone watching him amused.  

Feeling shy under the way they both seem to see him, and what he wanted, Sean ducked his head. It was minutes later they were all in the living room watching Princess and the Frog. Kimberly sat in between Hailey and Sean, all three looking like a beautiful family. When Sean went to the bathroom, his phone on the table rang.  

Seeing it was Rose, his ex, Hailey winced. She was still calling, even though it had been months from Hailey’s knowledge. No one was that crazy for someone in real life...or maybe someone was. 

 “EW.” Kimmie whined hiding her face from the phone. As if seeing Rose’s picture with a word she thankfully couldn’t read was scaring her, Kimberly looked at Hailey. “I don’t like her; she’s mean to me and always says bad words.”  

Stroking the wild coils out of her face, Hailey whispered, “Well don’t you worry, your big brother would never hang out with someone you didn’t like.” Kimberly smiled a little and hugged Hailey. She was asleep in her lap when Sean came back.  

Sitting down he looked at Kim and then to Hailey who smiled softly, “Someone called you.” Sean checked and saw why there was a sad lift to her voice now. “You should put Kim in my bed until you get ready to go.” Doing so, Sean carried his sister upstairs and Kim settled in Hailey’s bed comfortably. Sean cracked the door and went back to Hailey and the others staring at his phone again.  

Seeing his phone ringing, Sean frowned, “I’m sorry beautiful,” Looking at her, Sean explained, “I don’t know why she keeps calling. I blocked her, but somehow, she keeps getting unblocked. I think I need a phone, she could have done something."

Tyrone shook his head mockingly, “That’s just what happens when you date crazy bitches.” Both Cleo and Hailey looked at him, but Tyrone shrugged, “What? There are levels, and I told him to stay on a certain level. He didn’t listen.”  

Cleo laughed as she asked, “And what are those levels, Tyrone?” Tyrone held up his fingers as he listed, “There is normal crazy, just a tad crazy, cut you crazy, put you in a hospital crazy, and then there is strap you to the bed crazy.”  

Both Cleo and Hailey were laughing but Tyrone wasn’t done. “Now those five are just the basic levels, but everyone know they could still get it.” Sean rolled his eyes as Tyrone looked at him mockingly, “But then it’s fools like him that fall for the honey trap of the other five that makes me worry.”  

Cleo nudged her boyfriend, “And what are those five?” Tyrone counted them down, “There’s stalk you crazy, kill you crazy, undercover crazy, super Mario crazy, and the absolute worse? Super Saiyan crazy.”  

As Sean’s phone rang again, Tyronne pointed to it, “And that young lady is Super Saiyan crazy.” In stitches Cleo and Hailey both watched Sean flip Tyrone off but admit, “No lie, she is pissing me off though. I think she’s been coming by my place when I’m not there. Talking to my neighbors about who’s been there.”  

Hailey looked at his phone worried, “What would she do if she heard a girl’s voice? Do you think she’d do something?” Sean didn’t know, Rose hadn’t been a violent person. But she was starting to shed layers he hadn’t seen before. Humming he shrugged before the call went to voicemail. “She’s going to call back.” Tyrone said not even looking at the phone.  

And seconds later Rose was calling again.  

“Answer it,” Cleo goaded wanting to be messy. Tyrone joined his girl eagerly, “f**k yeah!” Laughing, Sean did answer as he pulled out his THC vape with the Gorilla Glue strand. After taking a hit he answered, “Hello?”  

There was noise, and ruffling and then a breathless, “Finally! God, I’ve been trying to get in touch with you for weeks!” Hailey rolled her eyes as she texted Cleo and Tyrone in their group chat: You’d think she’d get the hint. Both laughed as she snagged Sean’s vape and did a sexy French inhale.  

Sean watched as he told Rose uninterested, “Sorry, I’ve been busy. What’s up? Why you been blowing me up?” Rose breathed out deeply as if this was taking so much from her, “Well I’ve been thinking, and I decided I will take you back.” Sean reared back with confusion as Hailey raised an eyebrow.  

Passing the vape to Tyrone as she caught a buzz, Hailey watched Sean say tiredly, “Ugh, Rose-.” But she didn’t let him finish as she haughtily said, “Yeah I know you’ve missed me and I decided even though I don’t want to help raise her, I can deal with Kimberly being around. As long as I come first.”  

Hitting mute as Rose kept going without stop, Hailey yelled, “Bish are you dumb!?” Cleo was hitting the vape, doing a ghost, Tyrone whistled, “Cool!” Cleo laughed and gave it to Sean. Sean thanked her as he unmuted Rose and interrupted her monologue with, “Ugh, I don’t want to get back together with you.”  

Rose, sitting in her apartment stiffened as she growled out, “Yes you do.” Sean looked at the phone, “Nope, nope I don’t.” Rose sighed as she tried another route, “Fine we can be friends with benefits.” Doing a smiley, with the smoke, Hailey whispered, “Yeah benefits of getting stabbed.” Cleo was trying not to laugh as Tyrone held up his own THC vape. Nodding both took hits as Sean and Rose went back and forth.  

Cleo and Tyrone were kissing now as she whispered something in his ear. Watching them go suddenly, Hailey grinned as she looked over at Sean. He sighed rolling his eyes at the phone, “Rose, I’m not interested and I’m blocking you. I don’t know how you keep getting unblocked. But I’m done being nice. Stop calling, I don’t need to tolerate my f*****g sister because I’m done tolerating you.” 

Rose angrily threw something and yelled, “You dumb f**k I’m the best you’re ever going to get!”   

Smiling, a little stoned now, Hailey leaned in and kissed him. Sean groaned as he kissed her back, Rose heard the noises and correctly guessed what it was. “Who the f**k is that!? Am I on speaker?” Hailey groaned annoyed with this girl, “Yes and I can assure you, he’s doing better so you go do the same.”  

Hanging up, Hailey knocked the phone out of his hand. Sean grinned as they fell back on the bed, hands going everywhere, Hailey moaned as he kissed down her neck. “Can I touch you?” He asked sweetly. Hailey wasn’t sure, she’d used s*x before as a way to get her way.  

To control a guy into doing her bidding. Never for anything real or actually wanting it.  

But Sean was different, she just wanted him, and it made her insecure and confused. She didn’t know how to be open and vulnerable with a guy. She’d never had to concern herself with shaving her legs, or caring about how she might look.  

Until now. 

Sean looked at her, and he didn’t look through her as just a way to get off. He cared, she wanted him to keep caring.  

But not too fast, or for the wrong reasons. 

As if seeing her fear, and hearing her thoughts Sean sat up and sat her facing the tv in his lap. “I said touch you, I want to make you feel good.” The shorts, Hailey had been wearing came down her thighs making them tremble. His hands were large, warm, darker against her fairer skin, the hand tattoo of a skull with a knife in the cranium moved lower.  

Breathing uneven as he kissed her neck, Sean purred gently, “Relax baby, just let me make you feel good.” Hailey’s breath shuddered out as his fingers stroked against her cl*it. Feeling how wet she was, Sean groaned as his finger slid inside the tight hole. Feeling her gush as he sucked on her ear, Sean felt her sharp inhale when he added his second finger, “Am I hurting you?”  

Hailey gasped grabbing his hand when he started to remove them, “Don’t stop,” Sean made her look at him, he needed to see she wanted this. But when all he saw was a dizzying lust for him, Sean kept going. Pushing in deep with a set sped, he felt her hips move in sync with him.  

“That’s it baby, get yourself off. Let me see it,” rubbing her faster as he stroked so deep her toes curled, Hailey came hard biting her bottom lip. Shuddering as Sean held her against him, she could feel his hard on against her ass.  

It turned her on even more as she rode out her bliss. Falling against his chest, Sean kissed her face sweetly as he lazily stroked inside of her now. As he slowly pulled his fingers away, the two fingers soaked with her arousal made her blush and thighs tremble.  

In seconds she had her shorts back on. Laying spooned on the couch, both passed his vape back and forth until they knocked out. Sleeping for the first time with a guy, Hailey felt safe in Sean’s arms. J

ust as her heart started to feel safe in his hands.
