New Moves

 

Dabnis cracked open the bottle of champaigne...

"To me and you doll, who would have thunk it?" he said as he raised a glass..

''I know...Me and you both being named Managing Partner of our firms., practically a day apart.." said his wife, Jasmine..

Dabnis laughed.. "Funny, about five attorneys turned in their resignations when it was announced...They didn't like me and they were all in the running....It didn't matter to me...I put together my team, my man Ray, Tony Billips,..Tyrell, he's a great young talent....and I'm holding a spot for Paris, who is already working for us as a para-legal and will be an attorney soon when he graduates from law school next year and passes the bar...I couldn't be happier with these guys...to hell with those suckers who left." he said.

speaking of Raymond St. Jacques, Tony Billips, Tyrell Jones and Paris Boyd, his  associates and inner circle.

"As you know I had been trying to make Managing partner for years....and then I got in a little trouble and I thought my chances for making partner was all but scuttled...But when I got it, the first thing I did was bump my girl Kayla's salary up.. 10 percent...

She was ecstatic...This is the most money she's made in her career as an Attorney...

"And we hired Renee Cantrell-Jones....She just started...She's great...

And my big surprise... I had been after Zoey , Zoey Easter for months... She works at Yvette's firm downtown..in her old building.  I offered her a Senior Associate Attorney position.. She agreed to take the position...It's a lateral move for her..but with just a little more money..I had to make my offer somewhat attractive. She asked me if we had anything for her husband,Lem  who was becoming unsatisfied with his position at his company... We needed a man around to balance things...So I hired Lem too at the position of Senior Associate Attorney..same salary as Zoey.   Lem was  ecstatic! That was the sweetner I had been looking for.

So they'll both be joining us next week.." said Jazzy..

''You had the money to make those moves?" asked Dabnis...

"Yes...More than enough!  Two of our Senior Associates died last year unfortunately and those positions hadn't been filled and one of our other associates accepted a job in Cherry Hill...That's how I was able to get Renee and I filled those two other spots with Zoey and Lem... Zoey said she'll be so happy riding the train and not having to drive to work everyday unless necessary..and Lem said it'll be so nice being able to have lunch with his wife everyday and to work around such  beautiful women..tee hee.." said Jazzy.

''Damnnn, we got the whole crew together down here...The Bridge Building is litttttttttttt!" screamed Dabnis, laughing..

''We are going to have a big party next week to celebrate.. I've already talked to Liv about it.. It's not going to be in Curleys...We want it somewhere where we don't have to worry about Lt. Tragg at all..Someplace where we all can chill and relax.,..Liv said she was going to ask Stephen Bristol if we could rent out his place for a day..."said Jazzy..

"Excellent! now come here baby.." said Dabnis...who pulled Jazzy over to him...She sat on his lap..

He kissed her passionately....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!" she cooed..

"You don't know how bad I want to put it in you?" he moaned..

"Yes I do...as bad as you want to any other night.." she said with a smile on her face.

''MMMMMMMMM JAZZZY, YOU JUST TURN ME ON!" Dabnis moaned.

"Always good to know." she giggled.

 

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! AWWWW LAWWWD!" he cried out!

He slipped her panties down and off...

"NEW PANTIES?" he asked.

"Not really...I purchased these awhile ago ." she said.

He lifted her up and entered her slowly and softly....

"JAZZZY,,,,,JAZZZZY....JASMINE COLEYYYYYYYY!!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" he moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUU  HOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO, YOU ARE ALL

UP IN THIS BABY!!! OUUUUUUU!" she screamed out... She had a quick orgasm that had her head turning from side to side...Her body trembling and tears streaming down her face..

He placed her on top of the dresser drawer and parted her legs and entered her again....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OHHHH MY GODDDD DABNIS!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed loudly...

"OHHHH GIRRRRRRL!!" he cried out... and he thrusted away and Jazzy took his face in her hands and kissed him like kissing was going out of style...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU ARE SOOOO BIG!!! SOOO DAMN HARD...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed...

They sat on the side of the bed with Jazzy just riding him like a surfer rides the waves and continuing to kiss him softly and slowly....she was so soft, so wet, smelled so good, he was slowly losing his mind..He didn't know if he was coming or going, which was how he usually felt when he was having sex with Jazzy....

Then she began really riding him.......He was losing his mind...His eyes were rolling into the back of his head...

and the loving got crazier.....Jazzy had another intense orgasm.......Her whole body trembled, her head turned from side to side...she kissed Dabnis as though kissing was going out of style...

Dabnis flipped her over, spread her legs and really began going to town inside of her..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JASMINE, DID I EVER TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU?" he asked her as he humped her over the bed...

"I BELIEVE YOU DID, A COUPLE HUNDRED TIMES." she giggled.. "FOR THE RECORD, I LOVE YOU TOO!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out...

They began making sweet love missionary style...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OHHHH MY GODDDD DABNIS!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...OUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed loudly...

"OHHHH GIRRRRRRL!!" he cried out... 

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS OF SWEET LOVEMAKING PASSED BY BEFORE THEY BOTH CLIMAXED...

DABNIS CAME SO HARD, HE FELT AS IF HE WERE DYING!!

"Ouuuuuu that was some celebration huh? WOWWWWWWWWW!" said Jazzy, lying on top of Dabnis and catching her breath...

''Awwwwwww Jazzzy, you are the best...the best I ever had..." said Dabnis, trying to catch his breath..

Jazzy gave him a big , wet sloppy kiss..

"AWWWWWWWWWW YOU ONLY SAY IT BECAUSE IT'S TRUE!" she laughed..

II-

A WEEK LATER- THURSDAY NIGHT!

Everyone met at Stephen Bristol's new rooftop restaurant to toast the new developments and the new moves..

There was a lot of Champaigne.....Top Shelf Champaigne...

"Thank you Everybody for coming out for this... Thanks to my best friend in the whole wide world, my sister from another mister, Mrs. Olivia Bennett-Alexander for getting her friend , Stephen Bristol to rent this place out for us tonight..." said Yvette, which was met by loud applause..

Olivia, seated with her husband, Donnie Ray , smiled and waved..

''And let's congratulate... Dabnis and Jasmine Coley on making partner at their perspective firms..." she said..

Dabnis and Jazzy stood up and smiled as everyone applauded them.......

"Let's congratulate all of our new colleauges and building mates... Renee Cantrell-Jones, Zoey and Lem Anderson, who will be working on our floor with Jazzy and Kayla....and Tyrell Jones.. who will join Dabnis, Ray, Tony and Paris on the floor below us..as well as my staff members, I know this is late, Natalie and David Charles and Brooke Marks." said Karen...

Which was met by a standing ovation..

Renee, Zoey and Lem stood up as everyone applauded them...

Jazzy and Kayla hugged and welcomed each one...

Dabnis, Ray, Tony and Paris  shook Tyrell's hand and welcomed him to the office...

And even though they had been in the building almost a year...Karen felt as though she should acknowledge her new staff.. Natalie, her husband David , Brooke and her husband, Sean, who although he didn't work in our building, was a constant fixture..

They received a standing ovation too!

 

 "This is sooo nice...and in addition to food...We have a D.J. too." said Yvette,.

"Which makes this even better." said her husband, Gary.

"OUR BUILDING IS LITTTTTTTT! "said Keith Jones.

"I know..we got the whole gang here now." said Bee Bee.

"I knowwwwww...Renee and Tyrell and Zoey and Lem..." said Sofia..

"I knowwwww, this is the bommmmmb!" said Kahlil..

"Food and a D.J.  We couldn't ask for a better Thursday Night.." said Jade.

"This is far better than being at Curleys and on edge because of Lt. Tragg." said Danny Ho.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!  I love this...I wish we could be here every Thursday night." said Virginia.

"One Day....You won't have to worry about Lt. Tragg and Bruce Greene and their ilk."said Jetty, her husband. 

"Well we don't have to worry about either one of them right now."said Olivia.

 

"Yeah, let's cease talking about them." said Donnie Ray.

"I think the food is coming." said Beverly...

"Ouuu Italian...Niceeeeeee!" said Nelson..

"Ouuu it does look good." said Josie.

"You guys catered this event?" asked Paris.

"Of course... We hired the D.J. too!  Mr. Bristol just allowed us to use his space for free." said Bresha.

"That was nice of him." said Tony.

"He's had the hots for Liv since they were teenagers..All she had to do was ask and he hooked it up."said Alfreda.

"Must be nice, having it like that..."laughed Rockland.

The food arrived on two tables , along with Beers and Martinis...

 

"Our building is littttt now, as they say."laughed Jazzy.
 

''The whole crew is here and I mean everybody." said Dabnis.

"I just love it...On Fridays we all can just walk over to NO ID and wait for Liv and Bev to ride up..." said Kayla.

"Yeah that does make things easier..." said her husband, Ray...

"I love this...If we need Tyrell and or Renee, they are right here ,along with Lem and Zoey.."said Jessica.

''Yeah ,it is nice having so many resources..."said her husband, Chip.

"People downtown think I've been banished to Siberia or something...But I love it down here...With all of you guys....I remember when I was down here alone...I love it." said Karen..

''I love it here." said Natalie.

"Me too!"said David...

"Ditto!" said Brooke.

"I like it and I don't even work in this building."laughed  sean....

"I'm so happy to have you here honey....For the first time...We work for the same firm and can eat all three meals together." said Zoey.

"Yes....I love it." said Lem.

''Zoey we had just worked together....I'm so happy to be working with you." said Renee.

"I wanted to tell you the other day when we had lunch at Sam Mothers that I might be coming to work with you...but I didn't want to jinx my chances..I didn't know if I was going to accept the offer...When Jazzy  said she could bring my husband in , that sealed the deal for me...I knew she really wanted us there."said Zoey.

"You get to work with Yvette again huh?" said Renee's husband.

"It's nice being with my two girls again.... I know you don't work here Liv, but you gotta come down and have lunch with us next week." said Zoey.

"Liv comes down here quite often...especially when she and her guys have court dates

''Yes, you'll be seeing us..It's gotten to the point where we can't eat in Sam Mothers in peace at all." said Olivia.

"I know ...He was interrogating me and Renee , a couple of weeks ago when we were trying to have lunch in Sam Mothers..." said Zoey.

"Yeah....He stood over our table, from the time he came in until we paid our bills...I'm so glad we work here and don't have to deal with him...He doesn't know we work here...and I plan on keeping it that way." said Renee.

''We all do!" said Yvette.

a D.J. set up and began spinning...Half of the group was dancing, the other half, eating and drinking and talking...

It was a wonderful Thursday Night..

III-

It was good that the whole gang was not in CURLEY's tonight... 

In addition to their number one tormenter, Lt, Tragg, two other men were there...

Bull Bailey, disgraced former Detective, former Federal Investigator, now relegated to the checkout line at the Women's jail, Valhalla.... Mooning over what might have been with Brooke..

The Pretty little Assistant District Attorney he'd had a monster crush on for years...now married to a Black Federal Public Defender..

That bothered hm more than anything....she was a Staff Attorney for the Wrongful Conviction.Conviction Integrity Unit of the District Attorney's office...

He was told that she usually came in here with that crowd she associates with...

 

 

 

 

 

A Multi-cultural group of mostly Black Attorneys, with a few Puerto Ricans , An Arab and an Asian sprinkled in who usually help each other out, piggy back each others cases and generally hang out together... He was told they all live in the same general area...

None of them had arrived as of yet... He despised most of them..

Karen Page and Brooke being the only white members of the group....He wanted to get Brooke away from them ,but that seemed all but impossible now, Now that she was married to a Black man...

He had heard that Karen Page, was once married to a Black man, now deceased...and in law school was best friends with Olivia Bennett and Yvette Jones..

They graduated together and passed the bar on the same day.....

Assistant District Attorney Bruce Greene was here tonight, hoping to get a glimpse of  Renee Cantrell...He refused to call her by her married name..

He couldn't believe she was married to that , that Baillif, turned lawyer...And now she and he both had new jobs...somewhere...he didn't know where...and were making good money, more money than he...and living in a new home....He was just sick about it...

All three men sat alone in different parts of the bar...drinking multiple beers...wondering where all of these attorneys were that they liked to torment for one reason or another...

Lt. Tragg was the worst....He got on everybody's nerves.......The other two just had one woman in particular they were obsessed over and both of those women had husbands now. Lt. Tragg was not obsessed with any one person...He just had several people he liked to annoy.... It had gotten to the point where he couldn't help himself..

This was why they didn't eat at Sam Mother's diner for weeks on end and why they weren't here tonight...

Tonight, Assistant District Attorney Brittany Hanks walked in....She took a seat by herself and ordered a Martini.

as she sipped her drink...Lt. Tragg walked over to her table.

"VA VA VA VOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" he said to himself, checking her out.... "Well hellooooooooooo how are you tonight?" he said, smiling from ear to ear...Forgetting that she had slapped him silly.just a few weeks ago during the trial of John Toilet.

"I'm fine..." she said...She looked around... ''Wow!  None of the people you pick on are here tonight.. Guess you're bored huh?" she said.

"'You misjudge me...I'm no bully...I just like to rib them that's all.heh heh heh..."said Lt. Tragg.

''I don't mis judge you at all... I've heard them talking about you in sidebar... They bristle when you come around... A few weeks ago, I was in here when you brow beat and hassled Brooke Marks, Her husband, Sean, Natalie and David Charles and Karen Page.....In fact you followed them out of here in your patrol car....Thought you were going to bust them on a DUI.... I saw you in Sam Mothers a week ago... Hassling Renee Cantrell and Zoey Anderson...They couldn't finish their conversation....You are a menace... That explains why they haven't come in Sam Mothers since then and probably why they aren't in here tonight...You can't just come in and leave people alone..OUUUUUUUUUU!" she said..Moving his hands from under her skirt...

"I'm not going to tell you again...Keep your damn hands off of my legs and from under my skirt.." she said.

He was as red as a beet and had a pleased as punch look on his face....

"You still dating Jumpshot Jim?" he asked..trying to steer the conversation in another direction.

"No I'm not...Our little relationship was short lived...I'm not seeing anybody right now and I INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!! SO DON'T GET ANY IDEAS." she said.

"Baby, how about I buy you dinner?  The steaks here are pretty thick...and a nice soft fluffy baked potato...and we talk about something other than those lawyers you say I pick on...They're not here tonight..."said Lt. Tragg.

"I had dinner before I got here...I saw your "friends" tonight... I'm not going to tell you where..they are right now....but they're happy, they're relaxed...They're having a good time...Something they try to have here UNTIL YOU SHOW UP!...You're a bully Lieutenant...You use that Badge and gun to intimidate people.., but when it comes time to do real investigative work, you fall miserably short...So NO...I don't want dinner, NO I don't want another drink...and NO I don't want quiet conversation with you...Just leave my table please!" she said.

Her words cut through him like a knife... He smiled, but he was actually livid...Her talking to him like this..He got up...He smiled as if their exchange had ended amicably...He turned and walked towards the bar...He was really hurt and embarrassed at their exchange...So angry and hurt that his hands were shaking...

When he turned around...She was gone! She had left her money on the table.

ADA Bruce Greene had left also.....

Bull Bailey paid his tab and he left for the night also......

He sucked his last beer down.....He sat there and stared at the front door...

IV-

WEDNESDAY NIGHT- A week later

Olivia and Beverly were having dinner. Tonight they had special guests...

"I am soooo proud of both of you, Jasmine and Kayla... You've both come so far....." said Olivia.

"You taught me everything I know about being a lawyer in the real world Olivia... I love you dearly. You're as much my auntie as you are Beverly's."said Jazzy.

" Thank You Cousin Olivia...That means so much to me." said Kayla..

"Dinner is ready, Dig in everybody." said Alfreda.

"Everybody here is family..Just grab a plate and help yourself." said Olivia.

 

"Ummm, smells good, looks good.." said Donnie Ray.

"I'm So Happy for you all." said Josie.

"It looks good.." said Paris..

''We had soooo much fun last week..I'm for going somewhere else tomorrow instead of Curleys..."said Bresha,.

"Yeah...Like Josie's...They'll have a D.J. there...We can dance ,just like last week." said Tony...

"Works for me...Let him have Curleys for awhile." said Alfreda.

"I agree...I get tired of him and his baleful stare and his snarky remarks...It's almost like he has to start something with somebody...like he needs an argument or a fight...I'm saying , don't give it to him."said Rockland.

"Let's go with the wave of good feelings." said Jazzy, smiling..
 

"Yeah....I miss seeing our other friends, who hang out at Josies."said Dabnis.

"Yeah, Bridget and Bonnie Shay and Ronnie and Kevin and Sepia, et al." said Kayla.

"Yeah, that's what I like about Sundays...Super Brunch."said Ray...

"Me too!"said Jessica.

"Yeah, Me too!"said  Chip.

"B.L. and I will stay with Olivia." said Karen.

''Sounds like fun." said B.L.

"Josie's is closer..We can walk from our homes." said Natalie.

"Always Nice."

"Lt. Tragg has no right to ruin our leisure time."said Brooke.

" No he doesn't...He must be going crazy...Not seeing us at all, Not in court, not in Sam Mother's and not in Curleys...."laughed Sean.

"Thank you guys for giving us a great cafeteria to eat all three of our meals in."said Zoey...

''With a great Gym, Spa and Raquetball court.." said Lem...

"Everything turned out great for us.. We work in the same building...just a floor apart...We get to eat all of our meals together most nights...and we have a Gym and a spa to boot.." said Renee.

"Yeah...New Moves....New Moves....Everything worked out well for us.." said Tyrell.
