She liked Sam Mother's Diner..She had eaten here often when she was an Attorney ,before she'd been incarcerated.. She hadn't been told yet why a lot of the Detectives she used to know and none of her new friends and associates ate here unless they were all together and even still they didn't.
She was alone this Saturday Morning... She knew her younger associates were all asleep..
Olivia and her husband, Donnie Ray
was having breakfast at her house..
Her guests were as usual, Her niece Beverly, Her husband, Nelson, Her staff members, Josie and Bresha and their spouses and their cousin, Kayla and her husband, Ray....
Kind of like Olivia's extended family.....
Across the street, Her new colleauges, Keith and his wife, Bee Bee and Sofia and Kahlil
have breakfast at one another's house or at her former attorneys,
Jessica and Chip's house..
As for her boss, Ms. Yvette and her husband Gary
Or Jasmine and her husband Dabnis...
at their home...
Or Jade and her husband, Danny... They chose to forgo Breakfast....
Saturday Morning was for extra lovemaking...She certainly couldn't argue with that as she enjoyed her solitude and breakfast..
Virginia ordered another cup of coffee..
II-
Lt. Tragg stumbled in... And there was the reason her friends and associates didn't eat here. When she was released from prison..He was on a 30 day transfer to the Harbor Patrol..Out on the Marine Boat and wasn't around..So everybody was hanging out here...But now he was back and just as aggravating as could be..
"Jesus Artie....you fighting again? Godddd...Maybe you should be a little more diplomatic...You look like Hell." said Sam Mother..
Virginia laughed !
''SOMETHING FUNNY?" he snarled.. "Give me my regular Sam!" he barked..
She didn't answer, she kept on laughing...much to his ire...She kept thinking about two nights ago in Curleys when that guy Dr. Colgate beat the snot out of him for ripping his girlfriend's panties off..The entire area she was in howled with laughter at him being knocked to the floor twice.. She began laughing hard...shaking...before she got herself together
Fried Eggs, Hash Browns, Sausage and Coffee arrived..
Lt. Tragg had been pummeled two nights ago in Curleys by a Doctor, Lt. Tragg had let his hands wander too far up the skirt of Assistant District Attorney Leslie Chance's tight mini skirt and had ripped her panties..Not only has she slapped the daylights out of him, but her boyfriend the doctor, had beat the living daylights out of him.
Both of his eyes were still black and badly swollen, as was his cheek, which was discolored and his lip was swollen... He looked a mess..
Just days before that, her new boyfriend, Jetty Dukes had beat the tar out of him in here... He was 0-2 in fights since she'd gotten out of jail..
''Sooooo you work for Yvette now huh?" he said.
"That bothers you doesn't it? Yvette made partner a few months ago...She has a new office and she needed an office manager to assist her and her four associate attorneys and her investigator. I just got paroled..I needed a job and that was it.. She was nice enough to hire me..What's the problem?..It's a job,
It's an honest job...." she said as she sipped her coffee and finished up her meal.
"Yvette made partner huh? I did not know that.!...WOWWWWW! She's a big mahoff now.. Now she warrants an OFFICE MANAGER...Well LAH DEEE DAH!......" he said.
Sam Mother motioned to Virginia, not to say anymore about Yvette's position to him..or where Yvette now worked. She nodded.
"Olivia has an OFFICE MANAGER too!...I can't stand her.. Now Yvette has one ...So when I come to the office I'm going to have to go through you huh?" Lt. Tragg said.
But Virginia was through talking...She continued to drink her coffee. He wasn't going to come to their office anytime soon...He didn't even know where it was and Yvette and crew wanted to keep it that way as long as possible.
Alfreda Johnson walked in just then...She and Virgina had hit it off real good a few weeks before during the mock trial.
"Hey Virginia...I'm glad I ran into you..."said Alfreda.
"I'm glad you ran into me too." said Virginia, nodding
Lt. Tragg's way..
"Oh! I see..Two things...One, you asked about my caterer friend...This is his business card...If you need to arrange anything for Yvette, he's your man...He's great....He has catered many things for Olivia and Bev and the others.."said Alfreda.
"Oh Thank You! I can definitely use this... After the way he catered that party Thursday night at Curley's, He's just the guy to use for the office." said Virginia..
"Your take out order is up Ms. Johnson.." said Sam Mother... Passing Alfreda the bags. She paid her bill.
"Thank You Sam! Tonight...Donnie Ray has reserved a section of that Soul Food Joint we went to last week in South Jersey for us....We are all going, the whole crew...Your new boss and her guys ,Jazzy, Dabnis, Kayla, Ray, Jessie, Chip...and me and Rockland.. We would love for you to come and bring your friend...We called you this morning, but I guess you weren't home."said Alfreda.
"Girllll, I left my phone at home on the charger....I'm sorry I missed your call. I've probably missed a couple of calls."said Virginia.
''They are really rolling the red carpet out for you...You being an ex-con and all." laughed Lt. Tragg.
''See! That's why your face is all swollen up right now.. Always running off at the mouth and sticking your nose AND HANDS where they don't belong." said Alfreda...
"Oh and while we are at it...Speaking of your hands...I also know your little girlfriend,
Assistant District Attorney April Taylor...
She was my intern , after she passed the bar for a little while... Isn't it funny how things turn out? I wonder Lieutenant if she knows about your penchant for putting your hands up young women's skirts and ripping their panties? I'll bet, Assistant District Attorney Leslie Chance and her might have a very nice conversation..." said Virginia, smiling and staring in his eyes.
NOW SHE HAD HIS ATTENTION! His eyes got as wide as saucers..
"Now you're going to leave me alone... No more talk about me being an ex-con, no more talk about me working for Yvette,.You don't have to say ANYTHING to me anymore....Do we have an understanding?" said Virginia."You don't have to understand how I got the job, you don't have to like that I got the job...but I got the job....and I like it and I like the people I work with and their friends and I'm happy. Now that you know that, we don't have to ever talk again."said Virginia.
He said nothing else.. He turned and continued eating...
"If you see April, Tell her I said Hello." said Virginia.
"Girrrrrrl, I love You!" said Alfreda, hugging Virginia and laughing...
Virginia plopped down some dollars on the counter to pay for her breakfast and coffee. and left with Alfreda.
III-
SATURDAY NIGHT-
Virginia was amazed.. Olivia not only had her own law firm, but a bus service.. She was really balling out..The two buses picked everybody up and transported them all to South Jersey
To The Soul Food Restaurant they had all loved so much when they were having the mock trials.. Every one was relaxed tonight...
Olivia, Donnie Ray, Nelson, Beverly, Josie, Paris, Bresha , Tony, Alfreda ,Rockland ,Kayla and Ray were there at the first table.
At the second table sat.. Yvette and her husband, Gary, Keith and Beatrice, Sofia and Kahlil, Jade and Danny, Jazzy and Dabnis, Jessica and Chip...
and Virginia and Jetty..
who didn't come on the busses, they drove up.. Virginia now felt fully a member of this group...
The food was as it was before, exquisite...
At Curley's Bar...
Lt. Tragg sat alone..drinking a beer.. It was quiet tonight...
Assistant District Attorney April Taylor walked in and took a seat at the bar next to him..
"Hi ya kid... " he said and snaked his hand up her skirt... She removed his hand abruptly...
"Heyyy what gives.?" he asked.
''I've told you about doing this in public and from the looks of your face and what I've heard...You have had your hands up enough ladies dresses lately." she said.
"WHAT? WHO HAVE YOU BEEN TALKING TO? VIRGINIA SHAW??" he bellowed.
''WHO? VIRGINIA SHAW??? NO! DID YOU RIP HER PANTIES OFF TOO?? No.. Assistant District Attorney Leslie Chance called me yesterday...She was very upset...She said the entire time you two worked on that trial..She had to fight you off from putting your hands up her skirt...She said you ripped her panties off in here a few weeks ago and you bought her another pair...a very expensive pair...and she said a few nights ago , she was fighting you off again, trying to tell you she was on a date and you once again ripped her panties off and her boyfriend , Dr. Colgate almost killed you in here...From the look of your face, I can see what she means.. I don't think she would have any reason to lie. So don't lie to me and tell me it isn't true... I know how handsy you are..."said April Taylor.
Lt. Tragg looked like he had swallowed a canary..
''Me and a few Assistant District Attorneys are going to San-Francisco next week for a conference..
I was going to give you a big send off.. I bought new panties, new lingerie, the works..but now I'm post poning it... While I'm gone...Think about what you value...If I hear of you ripping anyone else's panties off...YOU WILL NEVER SEE THESE AGAIN!" she said and got up and walked out....
Lt. Tragg sat there..with a blank stare, it could not get any worse for him... Beaten up twice in as many days and now his girlfriend knew about him and Leslie Chance.. He now had a seething hatred for both Leslie Chance and Dr. Colgate... He was determined to make them both pay if it was the last thing he did..
It was a quiet night tonight...
Curley was relieved that it was a quiet night...He felt sorry for Artie, all this fighting, getting slapped..
He needed to mellow out..Maybe he needed to consider something else other than police work..There was a time when he wasn't like this..So unhinged.
He paid his bill and quietly left...He surprisingly was not drunk..
He rang April's doorbell.
April came to the door..
''What do you want?" she asked.
"YOU!" he said and he took her in his arms..
''Well you can't have me...Let me go." she protested..trying to pry herself out of his embrace..
He kissed her slowly and softly....She stopped resisting and eventually returned his passion as they walked inside and he closed the door..she was very aroused , even though she didn't want to be.
''You got me so horny in Curley's tonight, I couldn't finish my drink." he said.
April laughed.. "REALLY?? You are incorrigable...You know that? You're a badddddd boy...My breathing gets you horny...." she cooed..She couldn't stay mad at him...
He lifted her dress over her head...and kissed her passionately...running his hands down into her panties.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Arthur, don't rip these panties..I just bought them.." she said.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY, I DON'T INTEND TO....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh va va va VOOOM!" he moaned..
He gently slipped her panties down...
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ARTHURRRRR UMMMMMMMMMMM!" she cooed.
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH APRIL, you are so damn hot!!!! OHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned.
They wound up on the living room floor ,making love..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ARTHUR....." she cooed..
"I don't want anybody but you..." he moaned..
"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! YOU'RE JUST HORNY!" she cooed..
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! YESSSSSSSSSSsss! I'M HORNY FOR YOUUUUUUUUU!" he yelled out..
Perhaps this was the release he'd been needing all along...
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU MISTER HANDSY!" she cooed.
"I'm about to blow my load!"he yelled as she rode him slowly....
"Don't cum..Don't cum yet.." she begged as she rode him...
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he screamed out..
He didn't...They rolled over on the bed and made crazy, sweaty love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS!
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, MEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!" she cooed.
The next morning
It was a little overcast...
Lt. Tragg , who had a suit or two at her house...Shaved and showered and put on make up....and left..
April watched him getting dressed..she smiled..
He wore more make up than she did.. The swelling had gone down in his face and the make up hid the discoloration....
He left her very satisfied sexually...
He left feeling a lot better..Feeling like himself this morning. The main thing on his mind.. How was he going to get revenge on Dr. Colgate and Leslie Chance.
IV-
A Bar is not where Virginia thought she'd find herself on a Sunday Morning... But after attending Church for the first time in 8 years...She found herself having Brunch with her new friends.
''Josie's used to be closed on Sundays when I was free last." said Virginia.
"Girllll, they started pulling in big bucks as this area got more populated.. So they started a Jazz Brunch about three years ago...and it pulls in lots of people. They close at 3:00 and won't open again until tomorrow night. "explained Yvette.
"You won't see Gus here today... or Honey Brown...His assistant managers run this."said Gary...
Virgina saw Olivia ,Donnie Ray ,Beverly, Nelson and their two associates and their spouses.. Such a close knit group..They did everything together.
The same could be said of her new associates...Keith, Bee Bee, Sofia and Kahlil appeared to be joined at the hip, THEY DID EVERYTHING TOGETHER! She thought smiling.. They were so cute and Jade and her husband were right with them.
Jazzy and Dabnis, Jessica and Chip and Kayla and Ray were cute and in lockstep with everyone else.
They had all been out together last night in South Jersey and here they were together again , They never got tired of each other's company.. Tomorrow They'd all be at work in the same building..Well All except Olivia's people.
She liked them all and felt safe and warm in their company...She decided she wouldn't be caught in Sam Mother's alone...During the week she'd eat in the building with her crew and weekends? She and Jetty would go somewhere...anywhere but there.. She like them didn't need to be bothered with Lt. Tragg's foolishness.. He was obviously unhinged.
Josie's had an excellent house band that played music , while diners dined..
They had a wonderful array of food out for their Sunday Brunch... She loved this..She loved them..
She'd had a great weekend...The Party at Curleys on Thursday Night, The Soul Food Restaurant in South Jersey on Saturday Night and Brunch on Sunday Morning and Afternoon.
Sometime later , her doorbell was ringing..
It was Jetty, he had an overnight bag...
"Hi....Overnight Bag? Aren't we presumptious?" she laughed...Come in." she said..
He took her in his arms and kissed her passionately..She felt his erection....She smiled and ran her finger across his lips..
"I had a nice day today...I went to Church with everybody and then we went to Brunch at Josie's." she said. "Look..Monday through Friday I eat in my building in their cafeteria..but on Saturday, I don't want to eat breakfast at Sam Mothers...I was in there yesterday and I got into it with Lt. Tragg...I put him in his place..but who needs all of that?"said Virginia.
"HE BOTHERED YOU? I'LL DEAL WITH HIM!!" bellowed an angry Jetty Dukes.
''Calm down...He's been beaten senseless twice in just three days...No he has to be dealt with another way. Most of us avoid him..He doesn't know where we work and we don't need to eat there..As much as I like Curleys..There are other bars..." she said,
"I WILL TAKE YOU TO BREAKFAST AND I GUARUNTEE HE WILL NOT BOTHER YOU! I WILL TAKE YOU TO CURLEYS AND HE WILL NOT BOTHER YOU!" bellowed Jetty..
She smiled.. Jetty was so protective of her.. That turned her on..She unbuckled his belt and unzippered his trousers.. She softly stroked his now engorged penis.
"Calm down...just calm down...everything is alright!" she whispered in his ear.
They walked into her bedroom and they both undressed., kissing and groping each other..
"I love you, I told you I'm not going to let anybody hurt you, especially not that block head corny keystone cop.." said Jetty..
"I love you too Jetty."she said..still kissing him...
They fell on her new bed and continued kissing.. Jetty gave her an envelope filled with cash...Payment for the new bed.. They had gotten carried away a few nights ago and the bed had collapsed...Headboard splitting in half, legs breaking off the bed..
He slipped her panties off....
Virginia rode him slowly , driving him out of his mind....She loved that she turned him on so much...
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.....OH LAWD! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU VIRGINIA, I'M LOSIN MY DAMN MIND, THIS IS SOOO GODDD, OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned.
She giggled..
and gave him a wet, sloppy kiss.
They made sweet love for the next NINE TO TEN HOURS...She had to work tomorrow...She hoped she'd have the energy...
One thing she did know..She'd feel good..
EPILOUGE-
This morning was the exception.. They were all having breakfast at Sam Mother's Diner as a sign of solidarity and a favor to Jetty Dukes. Any other day, they'd be having breakfast in their new building.
"I'm starving....I don't care if he shows up or not." said Keith Jones.
"For once Hot stuff, I agree with you..I'm hungry too!" said Bee Bee.
"I'm Hungry, but I'm angry...Why do we let one man hold so much weight.? " said Sofia, who was spoiling for a fight.
"Don't worry about him, ignore him." said Kahlil.
"That's a good idea.. but it doesn't work..He just stands around,looking stupid." said Jade.
''Just relax.We are having breakfast..and then we are going to work and the rest of our meals will be in our new building."said Ms. Yvette.
"I thank you all, but you didn't have to do this. I will be eating with you guys ..Jetty is so dramatic." said Virginia, who was embarrassed at all of the fuss being made,.
Their orders of Pancakes, Hash Browns, Sausages, Orange juice and Coffee came up.
They surprisingly got to eat in peace and had finished their meal except for some orange juice and a little coffee, when Lt. Tragg walked in..
Naturally he walked over to their table and smiled wryly...
''Well the whole team is together. Congratulations Vettie..You're a partner now, I hear. Big Bucks, Got an office manager huh? Just like Liv." said Lt. Tragg.
"Yup! Just like Liv.." said Yvette...None of her young attorneys said a word...They finished their meals.
Even Jade said nothing.
''So you're in the rehabilitation business eh Vettie? Who reached out to you to hire Ms. Virginia here?"
Was it Liv?" he asked.
"Liv wasn't her lawyer...and what is it to you?" asked Yvette.
"YES WHAT IS IT TO YOU?FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I REACHED OUT, OKAY??"said Jetty, who pulled out his ID and passed it to him.
WILLIAM JEFFERSON TYRONE DUKES
JUDGE OF COMMON PLEAS COURT
PHILADELPHIA PA.
Chairman-LEGAL ETHICS BOARD
PHILADELPHIA PA.
"I don't need to reminded of your pedigree Dukes.. I know you're a fancy dan Judge...It doesn't mean jack to me." said Lt. Tragg.
''YEAH, WELL HERE IS SOMETHING THAT BETTER MEAN SOMETHIN TO YOU, GOLDBRICK!!! ONE CALL FROM ME TO YOUR DEPUTY OF OPERATIONS AND YOU'RE BACK ON THAT BOAT.... I mean if Olivia or Yvette and especially Virginia calls me complaining about you... You're going fishing, got it? Now get the hell out of here!" said Jetty Dukes.
He didn't have to say anymore.. Lt. Tragg turned and walked out of the diner..He got the message..
He now had one more person to hate besides Dr. Colgate and ADA Chance.. This Jetty Dukes fellow..
