VENTURES: The Problem With Some Men

SAM MOTHER'S DINER-

Attorney Brooke Marks was having a late breakfast...

An Omelette

Hash Browns

Bacon

and coffee...

Judge James Wilson, back from Miami, Florida sat down with Brooke without her asking him to..

"Brooke...Brooke , you look marvelous as usual." he said.

"Thank you Judge Wilson...I am uh meeting with someone for breakfast, you're in their seat." said Brooke.

"Your Husband?" he asked.

"No..No...An Attorney friend of mine...My husband is in federal court today.."said Brooke with a smile.

"Then your friend is just going to have to sit at another table because I am here now!" he said arrogantly..

"EXCUSE YOU?" said Brooke, astonished at his pure arrogance..

"Yes excuse you?" said Ms. Yvette.."I'm sitting here and you are in my seat." she said.

Bee Bee, Myself, Sofia,Kahlil and Ms. Jade took another larger table and waited for a waitress, unaware of the conversation going on at that table.

''What are you having today...I'm in the mood for some pancakes." I said.

"Waffles for me." said Bee Bee.

"Same here." said Sofia.

"I think I'll go for Pancakes myself." said Kahlil.

"An Omelette for me." said Jade.

"Do you know who I am?" said Judge Wilson.."Kindly find yourself another table..." he said.

"I don't give a merry damn who you are and yes I do know who you are and you are in MY SEAT!" said Yvette..."CAN I PLEASE HAVE MY SEAT?" Yvette demanded...

Judge Wilson angrilly stood up...The last thing he wanted was to make a public scene..He angrilly looked at Yvette.

"I know who you are Mrs. Jones-Lockwood and I know your boss....I won't be forgetting this." he said.

"Knock yourself Out.." said Yvette, who sat down with her food and began eating and chatting with Brooke.

"He is such an asshole! If I told my husband how he harrasses me , Sean would kill him,.He already doesn't like him and is investigating him."said Brooke to Yvette.

Judge James Wilson didn't hear what Brooke said..but he angrilly stood up and stormed out of the diner...

A DAY LATER- THE BRIDGE BUILDING-

We were in the conference room... We were having our weekly meeting , when our founding partner ,William McCluskey walked in..

"Hello Guys and Gals." he said.

"Well Hello!" said Yvette, smiling.

"Good Morning Mr. McCluskey." I said.

"Good Morning." said Bee Bee.

"Good Morning Sir." said Sofia.

"Good Morning." said Kahlil.

"Good Morning Sir." said Jade.

"Good Morning." said Virginia.

"Hey folks...uh don't let me interrupt your meeting...Yvette, can I have a brief word with you?" he asked.

"Oh Of course.." said Yvette..

They walked into Yvette's office...

"Yesterday I got a visit from Common Pleas Judge, James Wilson....He was livid...He said you were very rude to him in Sam Mother's Diner...He claims he was in the middle of a conversation with a young woman and he said you insisted that he move out of what you claimed was YOUR seat...He said he didn't want to cause a scene so he got up.... He was utterly shocked when I told him that you were a partner and that you had been a loyal McCluskey/Cozen/Connor & Pratt attorney for years and had done nothing but excellent work for us...

He wanted me to fire you...I told him absolutely not....He brought up the fact that he and I went to law school together. We did and I didn't particularly like him even then..."said Mr. McCluskey..

He and Yvette shared a laugh....

"Listen Yvette, I know he is a whiny, snobbish son of a bitch who fancies himself as some sort of ladies man and you probably ruined his chance of making a move on the young lady....I don't care...but I do care about you...He's a very powerful man and he has powerful friends and associates...Just be careful...I don't want him making any undo trouble for you...Watch your back Yvette." said Mr. McCluskey...

"Duly noted....Thank you sir." said Yvette.

"Have a good day Yvette." said Mr. McCluskey, who let himself out...

Yvette returned to the conference room..

"Everything okay Ms. Yvette?" I asked.

"That Judge...That Prick that Olivia and Beverly just finished jousting with went to Mr. McCluskey and tried to get me fired because I demanded my seat, the seat that he was in, while he was wasting his time, trying to put the moves of Brooke."said Yvette.

"Wowwwwww! Brooke told me he has a thing for her..."said Bee Bee.

"Wow, he is petty.....I saw him sitting over there with Brooke...She said he invited himself.."said Sofia.

"Well as long as we don't try a case in his courtroom, we are okay.." said Kahlil.

"Yeah, isn't he up for a Federal Judgeship? If he gets it, he may be leaving the city."said Jade.

"And we'll be done with him." said Virginia.

That Night we had dinner at Olivia and Beverly's house,

"And he went to your boss and tried to get you fired? Oh My God!" said Olivia.

"He's a whiny, petty little man...He's used to getting his way through intimidation and fear..."said Yvette.

"He's got powerful friends and he has made some attorney's lives very uncomfortable.. Especially when it came to seeking employment at certain firms... You are lucky because you're a Partner at your firm, have your own suite and your own staff and a Senior Partner who stands by you..." said Gary...

"He tried to do the same thing to Karen when she worked at McCluskey/Cozen/Connor and Pratt because she refused his sexual advances ." I said.

"Oh My God!"said Beatrice..

"And he's been on Brooke ever since he met her and he knows she's married."said Sofia.

"Sean should knock his lights out!" said Kahlil.

"This guy is like no other Judge I've ever seen." said Jade.

"He's drunk with power and he's used to getting his way...He scares the daylights out of most attorneys, prosecutors and defense attorney alike....He and his friends can get you fired, can keep you from getting an important job....Olivia and Beverly own their own law firm..They don't need any favors...The defied him and it made him livid...Now here comes Yvette refusing to give up her seat and allow him to put the moves on Brooke...It drove him nuts...He goes to her place of employment and finds out she's a partner and that the Senior Partner refuses to do anything to her...Right now he is beside himself with rage I imagine."said Danny.

"Well relax Vettie...At least you're not in his courtroom."said Virginia.

"Yeah, at least you aren't in his courtroom." said Jetty.

"I'm just glad we re done with him...Two cases is more than enough." said Olivia.

"Two cases , two innocent young women exonerated...We disrupted his feeding frenzy."said Donnie Ray.

"There is still a young man out there who was murdered and whose murder was not solved." said Beverly...

''Yeah Zack Roman, he was beat to death with a baseball bat." said Nelson.

"With Kathy Elliot acquitted, that case has probably gone cold." said Josie.

''Stone Cold, I don't see Lt. Tragg reopening it."said Paris.

"You're right...he has already moved on."said Bresha.

"All these years battling Lt. Tragg, Now we are battling Judge James Wilson." said Tony.

"Not really..We aren't in his courtroom...It's story over." said Alfreda...

"For now!" said Rockland, who knew the Judge and was no fan of his.

II-

That same night-after dinner at Olivia and Beverly's house-

After we all got home from dinner that night..We were all settled down with our significant others.. What better way to spend a cold winter night than to be making love.?

Bee Bee was wearing another sheer see through Baby doll.....She had just taken a hot shower and walked into our bedroom..

My eyes popped out of my head..She had on a new bra and matching panties that I hadn't seen before.

She giggled..

"Oh my goddd..look at you...Are you going to act like this all the time?..WOW!!! That boner is massive." she said and put her hands over her mouth..

"I'm gonna start watching you when you get dressed in the morning."I said.

I pulled her towards me...Is this something you bought at Bridget's store the other day?" I asked.

"Yes, the bra, the panties and the baby doll...I knew you'd like it." she giggled..

"I like everything on you.." I said.

"Awwwwwwwwwwww" she giggled.

I undressed and unhooked her bra and slipped her panties down and off and took her into my arms and kissed her softly....

Who could ask for anything more?

"Ohhhhh my godddd, Bee Bee..."I moaned...

"Ummmmmm, ouuuuuuuuuuuu you are so hard....Ouuuuuu, look at youuuu!" she exclaimed as she stroked me lightly...

We lie across the bed, kissing and practically slobbering over each other....

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Bee Bee..." I moaned..

"OH MY GODDDDD YOU'RE SO BIGGG!. SO DAMN HARD HOT STUFF! OUUUUUUUU!" she moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOT STUFFF!" she cried out....

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM YOU FEEL SO DAMN GOOD!" I cried out...

Soon we were making love passionately on top of the bed..

The next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS, all we were thinking about was each other..

The same was next door at Kahlil and Sofia's house..

Sofia and Kahlil were lying across the bed..

Kissing ,fondling and laughing..

He unhooked her bra and slipped her panties down and off...

"OHHHHHHHH MAMASITA!!!" he moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUU PAPI...AYE MIOS DIOS! You are sooo damn hard! OUUUUU! AND BIG! AYE MIOS DIOS" Sofia moaned as she rode him on the side of the bed until neither one of them could take anymore...

"You've always gotten me hard mamasita." said Kahlil.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

before they too were making sweet love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

"Don't worry baby....I'll protect you." said Gary ,hugging Yvette..

"I know you would....I love you." said Ms. Yvette ,finally calming down after a day of anger.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu this is the best feeling after today!" said Yvette..

"I'm glad I'm able to make you feel good." said Gary...

"Ummmmmmmm is it good to you? Is it good to you baby?" cooed Yvette.

"OH YESSSSSSS!!! YESSSSSSSS!" said Gary.

They had made love early into the morning hours....

Enjoying their massive and new smart bed..

Yvette smiled..

The bed was sturdy and very very comfortable...It moved with their every move and was very comfortable and warm..It actually enhanced their lovemaking..

EIGHT TO NINE HOURS had passed by.

Bee Bee and I were fast asleep in each others arms..

Sofia and Kahlil were in each others arms and still kissing, almost asleep.

And Gary and Ms. Yvette were sound asleep..

A nice stress buster for a stressful day.

And At Ms. Jade's House...

"I'm so glad we are finally home." said Danny...

"I'm glad to be home with you too." said Jade.

"Come here..." said Danny, pulling her towards him..

They kissed passionately..

Standing in the middle of their bedroom kissing passionately.

Danny slipped her panties down....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH JADEEEEEEE!!!" he moaned..

She eased herself down on Danny slowly.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU JADE!" he moaned.

"OHHHHHHHHHHH HUSBAND!" she cooed.

They began making love.

Enjoying a nice cold winter afternoon and night.

At Ms. Virginia's House, a few doors down...

"Jetty!! You're staring at me like you want to rip my clothes off."said Ms. Virginia.

"Oh I would never do that...You pay good money for your clothes....Hey by the way have your breasts gotten larger?" he asked..

"No Smarty, they haven't! You asked me that before!" laughed Virginia..

"Well uh let me uh see....Unzip that dress, let me take a look." he asked slyly and unzipped her dress and began kissing her..

"Ummmmmmmmmm are you sureeee?" he asked..

"I'm positive...but I think your penis got bigger...Ouuuuu lawddd!" said Ms. Virginia..

"I'm certain it has...especially in the last few seconds...Heh Heh Heh!" he laughed.

"You are so nasty....You Horny old mannnnnnnn!" she cooed..

"But I'm your horny old man....Nobody elses dollface." he said.

"That's rightttttttttttt you're my horny old husband.." she said..

"YES I AM!!!!." he whispered.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YEAH!" she said and they both giggled in between smouldering hot kisses.

He unhooked her bra...

He slipped her panties down...

and humped her over the bed....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YOU NASTY DOGGGG! OUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out...

Jetty was on top of her and didn't know if he was coming or going... She always smelled so good, Her skin was so soft...and her voice was so entrancing, he couldn't control himself..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VIRGINIA, LAWWWD!!!" He cried out..

"YOU LIKE IT DADDY?" she asked him..\

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! I LOVE IT!!!" he moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VIRGINIA, LAWWWD!!!" He cried out..

"YOU LIKE IT DADDY?" she asked him..\

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned..

"I TAKE IT THAT'S ANOTHER YES!" she said...

"LAWD!!" he mumbled as they made sweet love..for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS. He was deeply in love in a way he had never been before...Virginia loved that a man loved her this much....

Such a nice night! for some of us anyway.

At Brooke's house....both she and Natalie now had curtains up in front of their windows....

Judge James Wilson stomped his foot in anger....Now he could no longer watch Brooke or Natalie undress or see her making love to her husband....He was beyond livid! He stomped his foot and got in his car and drove off!! This had really been a bad day for him!

III-

A WEEK LATER-

We were in our conference room embroiled in our first case of the year...

A Black woman, an attorney named Cynda Townsend was telling an incredible story and making an outlandish claim...That she was the illegitimate daughter of one of the region's wealthiest men...A white man ...a Millionaire entreprenuer named Jeremiah Jefferson...

He was sitting in our office listening to her story and laughing...denying the entire thing...and allowing his hands to wander to the legs and rear ends of Yvette, Bee Bee and Sofia..

All three women were either removing his hands from their legs pulling their skirts down or jumping because he was pinching their butts...

Finally ,all three got up and moved to the other side of the room...

He was being represented by his son, also an attorney....Jeremaih Jefferson Jr.

"This whole thing is utterly ridiculous...According to her birth certificate...She was born just three days after I was and to a woman named Cora Townsend... No way she could be his daughter...My..My sister." said Jeremaih.

"Cora Townsend was your family's live in maid for seven years...She was 19 when she started working for your family.... That was right around the time you graduated high school and began attending college.." I said.

"That's right...I was attending Wharton....I believe you're a PENN graduate yourself...The five of you are." said Mr. Jefferson.

"Yes we are...of course you were at PENN and a graduate long before any of us were there..That notwithstanding...According to these family records...You impregnated Ms. Townsend in your Senior year...You also impregnated a young PENN cheerleader you were dating around the same time.. His mother."said Kahlil.

"That's a lie...that's a damn lie.." said Junior.

"My mother told me, when she was on her death bed...that when you were in college...When you'd come home for Spring Break and for the summer...You'd come in her bedroom and force yourself on her....You'd be drunk most of the time... And that you swore her to secrecy...She said this went on for years...and then shortly after your senior year in college , she became pregnant...You refused to take any responsibility and you already had another girl, a white girl....his mother , pregnant.. To avoid scandal..

You married the young cheerleader from Penn...

Your mother paid for my mother's pre-natal care...and after I was born, gave my mother an adequate severence pay....Saw that she had a nice apartment in West Philly and sent a check every month for me.

I only remember seeing her about three times in my life...And one was my high school graduation...

She paid my tuition to go to college.. I went to Howard University and when I attended Howard University Law School and graduated...She and your Father attended...That was the last time I saw either of them..." said Cynda.

"We are going to look into all of this sir. Ouuuuu , stop it.." said Jade, slapping his hand away...

He was running his hands up her legs and squeezing them..

"Heh Heh heh...I can't help myself around the women, heh heh,heh...but none of that is true..and you can't prove it...This dunderhead here is my only child.." he said pointing to his son..

His son flinched...

"This is a money grab...What do you want? Money?" asked Jeremaih Jefferson.

"I want acknowledgement...I don't need your money...I'm an attorney, I make a good living...but I do want to be included in your will." said Cynda..."And that is why I have hired Ms. Jones Lockwood and her team to represent me." said Cynda.

''We are going to have DNA tests done and we are going to pull up Birth Certificate and hospital records

to determine paternity..."said Yvette..."Ouuuuuuu, stop it!" she said. Jeremaih had palmed her butt and squeezed it.. "Watch your damn hands...I don't care who you are and how much money you have...You have no right to touch me or my staff inappropriately..." Yvette said sternly....

He showed both of his hands ,palms upward...

"Okay, Okay....I'll go to the clinic of your choice and leavea DNA sample.." he said, laughing.

"Pop , you don't have to do this." protested his son.

"Oh shut up dunderhead....Maybe what she's saying is true... I've had a lot of sex over the years...It could be true...I don't know.... I'll see you at the clinic, day after tomorrow. said Jeremiah Jefferson.

"I only ask that we keep this out of the press." he said.

"That goes without saying." said Yvette..

Alfreda came into the conference room and poured some Ice tea... She slapped his hand, as it squeezed her butt...

"Stop it!" she said.

"You've got not breasts." he remarked and giggled.

"MY HUSBAND THINKS SO!" she said sternly...

"They can't legally force you to submit to a DNA test pop." said his son, Junior, also an Attorney.

"It's your father's decision...We aren't forcing him to do anything right now...but if pressed, we could go to a judge and get a court order..." said Ms. Yvette.

"To think Cynda ansd Junior could be siblings.." I whispered to Kahlil..

"And that they both come from THAT MAN!" said Kahlil...

Across the room,. Bee Bee and Sofia were having the exact same conversation.

"To think, Cynda and Junior could be siblings...uhhhhhhhh" Bee Bee whispered to Sofia.

"And that they both come from that man's gene pool.." said Sofia.

Jade heard them whispering and smiled..

"Alright...let me know the clinic you choose and I'll meet you there the day after tomorrow." he said.

"Come on Boy!" he said as the two of them left..

"Thank you Ms. Yvette, Beatrice, Sofia, Keith,Kahlil and Jade...I almost don't want to be related to such a pig...I saw how he carried on, rubbing your legs, squeezing your butts...what a pig!" she said.

"There are a lot of pigs in the world Cynda....We'll see you the day after tomorrow." said Yvette.

"Thank you guys again!" said Cynda as she left.

"Jade get in contact with Dr. Goggins, set up an appoint for the day after tomorrow." said Yvette.

"On it." said Jade...

''Whew, what a day, What a case."said Ms. Yvette.

"He was close to getting slapped...Client or not!" said Ms. Virginia.

"Oh My God...one minute his hands were on my legs, then he was trying to ease them up my dress, what is wrong with some of these guys?" asked Bee Bee.

"I wish I had seen it...I would have put a stop to that." I said.

"He was doing the same thing to me...That's why I got up and moved to the other side of the room."said Sofia.

"Well from now on...you sit with me, on the other side of me."said Kahlil.

"What if he runs his hands up your leg?" asked Ms. Jade.

We all burst into loud laughter.

"Yeah, now that would be funny."laughed Ms. Virginia.

A Brand new case...a Brand new year...

IV-

TWO DAYS LATER-GOGGINS LABORATORY..

''Well we have your DNA sample...I'm waiting for Mr. Jefferson...I haven't heard from him in two days.."said Dr. Goggins, a well respected Dr. of Genetics , whose independent laboratory has been used by us and Olivia and Beverly in legal cases...

"I went to talk to him the same day we met in your office....Without his son around and you all , he was very sober and very open to the idea of having the DNA testing." said Cynda.

"You really shouldn't have met with him without us being present...but since you have and he appears to be open to it...I suppose there is no problem." said Yvette.

"You know his son could very well turn out to be your half brother."I said, smiling.

"Just three days apart....wowwwwww!" laughed Bee Bee.

"Please don't remind me of that." laughed Cynda.

"Both of you became Attorneys....Isn't that something? That man's gene pool produced two brilliant minds."said Sofia.

"Well at least one anyway." said Kahlil.

"Ouuuuuuuuuu, you are badddddd!" laughed Cynda.

We all laughed...

Jade looked at her watch. "He's late, he's an hour late." she said. She didn't realize how right she was.

At Jeremiah Jefferson's home in Chestnut Hill....

"Apparently he was shot one time through the chest with a .38 caliber pistol.......it perforated the aorta of the heart and exited out of the back..a second shot was fired that went through his hand...His hand was in a defensive position." said a crime scene investigator.

"Body temperature and decomp suggests he's been dead at least two days.."said Dr. Hazel Baylor..
