Curses

 At a very tony downtown hotel-

 

We were in the hotel's bar and grill.

"Neicey Poo, You didn't lie about this hotel and it's bar and grill being very nice." said Olivia.

"It's beautiful, but I believe it's cursed...I was here the first time with Kayla, Jazzy, our friend Hortense and Mya and as you remembered...Mya turned out to be a contract killer and she murdered at least three

people while we were here that weekend.." said Beverly..

"Yeah, I remember you telling us about that weekend." said Nelson.

"Yeah, I remember that weekend."said Josie.

"And then you remember when we argued that last case here and that guy's wife was downstairs with our colleague Jerome Malcolm and she wound up dead..." I said.

"Oh I remember that! Wow! So that's four murders that have occurred here." said Bresha.

"Yeah, they try to play that down..."said Beverly.

"Yeah, I imagine they would if they want to stay open and they have stayed open with steady customers I see." said Olivia.

"Here comes our food!" I said. "I am Donnie Ray Alexander, an ex- New Orleans Homicide Detective, Now Living in Philadelphia.  I'm a Private Investigator, married to and working for my wife, Attorney Olivia Bennett-Alexander, and her niece, Beverly West-East... The other attorneys I work for are Josie Boyd, Beverly's husband, Nelson East and Bresha Billips, our newest attorney.

Our food arrived , Six New York Strip Steaks...

Six Omelets

and a large order of hash browns...

and six hot steaming cups of coffee...

We were celebrating a successful litigation in this very building.. Olivia decided to treat her staff to a hearty breakfast in this hotel's bar and grill.

At the bar was another man I recognized..Lt. Jake Ludwig...I knew him in passing...

He nursed a drink and watched all of us eating...He like most of the police department knew who we were..Defense Attorneys... I wondered why he was here today.

Downstairs in another conference room.. another successful litigation was finishing up...

"OHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHHHHHH LAWWWD!" moaned Attorney Douglas  Baldwin, receiving a slow soft kiss from his client, Haley Connors.

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm thank you Dougie...." said Haley Connors

"You are sooooooooooooo welcome!" said Attorney Douglas "Dougie Balls" Baldwin

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww LAWDDDDDD!" moaned Douglas..

"You are soo silly...Tee Hee." said Haley Connors. Their kiss was much longer than it should have been...

"Uh, let's go upstairs and have a meal...They've got the thickest ,juiciest steaks and some very cold beers." said Douglas Baldwin.

"That's a good idea Dougie." she said.. "Tee Hee" she laughed as they headed for the elevator..

Her ex-husband Jack Connors stood down the hallway watching the two of them head to the elevator..

He was livid...He hated losing and he hated losing to Doug "Dougie Balls" Baldwin, the smart alecy attorney who was also putting the moves on his ex-wife.

As they exited the elevator ,they ran into us...

"OH MY GOD!! BEVERLY, OLIVIA, HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?" said Douglas Baldwin..

"OH MY GOD!! DOUGIE BALLS!" said Beverly, smiling.

"DOUG!! HOW ARE YOU?" said Olivia...

Douglas and us had worked a murder case a few years ago...Then Douglas had been a drunk, partially competant lawyer who barely made it through the case... Since then he had gone to AA and had gotten clean..

He was wearing a nice crisp suit...and a nice fragrance....He no longer drank....He smelled good.

"Haley this is Beverly West and Olivia Bennett-Alexander, two of the best attorneys I ever worked with... We worked a murder case a few years back... In fact Beverly here interned for me when she first graduated from law school, smart as a damn whip." he said.

"Pleased to meet you...but I follow the news...I've heard of you guys and your many cases...."said Haley..

"This is my husband and principal investigator , Donnie Ray Alexander.." said Olivia.

"Pleased to meet you Haley, Hi Dougie." I said.

"HEYYY DONNIE RAY!" said Doug..

"Nice to meet you." said Haley...

"This is my husband, Attorney Nelson East..." said Beverly..

" Hello." said Nelson...

"Heyyy Nelson, I remember you...Hey there Josie.." said Doug.

"Hi Dougie." said Josie.

"And this is Bresha...She wasn't with us when we last worked a case... She was my student, when I briefly lectured at Middleton School of Law...She interned with us upon graduating and passing the bar and we liked her so much..We kept her!" said Olivia, hugging Bresha.

"Hello." said Bresha smiling.

"You're with a great bunch little lady.." said Doug....  "I guess you guys have eaten already...We just finished a successful litigation....I just helped this little lady get controlling interest in the company she started with her ex-husband. We are celebrating by having a nice brunch..." said Douglas...

"A sober Brunch I hope."whispered Bevertly...

"I don't even drink Mimosas.... Sparkling Water for me doll." he said.

"That's good to hear Douglas.....Good luck to you."said Olivia, hugging him..."Nice to meet you

Haley." said Olivia as we all got on the elevator and left..

"They seem like nice people." said Haley..

"Oh They are the very best." said Doug.

Her now ex-husband spied the two of them and angrilly stomped his foot.. He stormed off and caught the elevator..He was livid..He couldn't stand to be in this building with the two of them a moment longer.

II-

We took the train home... We knew we'd run into our friends..

 

 "You told me you'd be near by today....You worked a case at that hotel huh?" said Yvette.

"Yeah and had a nice meal at that bar and grill." said Olivia.

"Bee Bee and I went there once..It was nice." said Keith Jones.

"Yeah, we loved it." said Bee Bee.

"Gary and I rented a room there for a night...The drinks at that bar are good, but pricey...But the food was excellent."said Yvette.

"On our anniversary , you and I should try it out papi." said Sofia.

"Why wait? Let's go tomorrow." said Kahlil.

"Ouiuuuuuu you're so good to me."laughed Sofia.

Jade laughed.

"We've been there before...Pricey, but nice." said Virginia.

"Yeah really.."laughed her husband, Jetty.

"It's beautiful, and  nice but I believe it's cursed...I was here the first time with Kayla, Beverly, our friend Hortense and Mya and as we all remembered...Mya turned out to be a contract killer and she murdered at least three people while we were there that weekend.."said Jazzy.

"Jazzy , I said the same thing this morning...but today...We had our litigation and our meal without incident. We were there a year and a half ago and a woman, the wife of one of the people we were litigating against was found murdered in her hotel room a few floors down from us." said Beverly.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu!" said Jazzy.


 

"Damn and you guys are talking about how nice it is to be there?" laughed Jazzy's husband, Dabnis.

"Oh it's not that bad.,. I had a litigation there last year...Two in fact and there was no incident either time. And I had a good meal. "said Kayla.

"Well I'm glad of that!" said her husband, Ray.

Nelson cracked up laughing.

"I had drinks there with a colleague a few weeks ago and there was no incident.,"said Jessica.

"Well at any rate, they have played those unfortunate incidents down..."said her husband, Chip.

"Yeh, I imagine they would if they want to stay open and they have stayed open with steady customers I see." said Karen.

"Yes they have, ignore my neicey poo with all that talk about the place being cursed...It's a nice place." said Olivia, laughing.

"Yeah, It would make an interesting story I imagine." said B.L.

"Bev, maybe all of us...Me, You, Kayla, Jazmataz,Brooke, Josie, Bresha and Renee and our husbands should check out rooms in there around Halloween huh?" asked Natalie.

"You're kidding right?" said Beverly.

"Bev you don't believe that Hotel is cursed do you?" asked David.

"Of course not, but I don't believe in tempting fate." said Beverly....

"DITTO!" said Jazzy.

"Double Ditto" said Kayla as all three women high fived each other and laughed loudly...

''Alright, Alright...It was a thought."laughed Natalie.

"We still love you Nat!" said Beverly, hugging her good friend...

Brooke laughed loudly....

"I love you four...You almost are like sisters." she said.

So did her husband, Sean..."They are sisters."said Sean.

"These are my sisters." said Beverly, smiling...

"You girls are too much...I've been there many times....For litigations and in that bar and there were no incidents." laughed Zoey.

Lem laughed.....

"I know Hortense...I worked a case with her...She told me she knew you all and she told me about that weekend." laughed Renee.

"You ever hear from Mya?" asked Tyrell.

"I wrote her twice... She's in the Women's Federal Prison at Lompoc, California. Life No Parole.

I sent her photos of all of our weddings...She never wrote back either time."said Beverly. 

''It's hard for her ..seeing you all with your careers and your husbands and all and her life practically thrown away in prison." said Olivia.

 

"Wow , we are almost home.. Hard to believe this is a 45 minute ride." I said.

"It would be longer, if we weren't surrounded by friends and engulfed in conversation." laughed Beverly.

"Yeah how about that?" said Nelson.

"It does make the time go by quicker."said Josie.

"Yeah it does." said her husband, Paris.

"Today was a good day." sighed Bresha.

"Yeah it was." sighed her husband, Tony.

Our train pulled into our station... We all got off and waved to Natalie, David, Brooke,Sean, Zoey and Lem, who had to ride to the next station....

Halfway across the city at a lovers lane...

A very flashy 2025 BMW sits with both of it's doors open...The woman in the drivers seat is dead.. Her neck has been broken..

The woman is Haley Connors.

The man beside her is unconscious...His head bleeding...The smell of whiskey is all over him.. The man is attorney Douglas Baldwin....

an empty bottle of Jameson's Irish Whiskey is on the floor of the car....

Just what happened in the past few hours is anybody's guess.

III-

We were home...Relaxing after a long day-

Olivia was putting away a few things in her drawer...New panties she had purchased recently..

"I didn't get a chance to fold and  put all of this stuff away.." she said.

"You bought a lot of stuff Saturday,." I said.

"Well, a girl has to inventory her panty drawer every now and then, Throw out the old and bring in the new."said Olivia, smiling.

"I see you are fervently watching me. " she laughed.

"I'm always watching you...I am curious about everything you do." I remarked and smiled.

"I seeeee." she said, smiling..

I took her in my arms and kissed her slowly, softly..

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, this is what you really wanted to do." she said.

"How did you guess?" I said as our kissing got more passionate.

"It wasn't hard...unlike something else I am feeling....OUUUUUUUUUUU! You are ready!  You're always ready for me."she said.

"I have been since the first night I met you." I whispered softly...

"I knowwwww..ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" she moaned softly...

We continued kissing...I slipped her pretty dress off and hung it over the chair..

I unsnapped her bra..

and slipped her panties down and off...

I lifted her up, spread her legs and slowly entered her..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed softly...She was wet and warm and felt so good..

I placed her on the dresser drawer, parted her legs and slowly entered her again...Her entire body trembled with excitement...her head turned from side to side..and sweat and tears streamed down the side of her face...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! you're a beast" she said.

"OH MY GODDD DONNIE RAY!" she screamed out..

I lifted her again.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" I moaned..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out! as I spread her legs on the bed and entered her again..

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"  I. moaned... "OUUU YOU FEEL SO DAMN Good!" I moaned...

Olivia  had another intense orgasm!

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

"OH MY GOD! Olivia I'M LOSIN MY MIND!" I screamed out.. I was delirious

Olivia laughed..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she screamed out!

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" I. moaned... "OUUU YOU FEEL SO DAMN Gooooood! UMMMMMMMMMMM....UMMMMMMMMMMM!" I moaned...

The Bed was squeaking loudly and the headboard was softly slamming against the wall..

"Oh Honey.." Olivia moaned..

"Babyyy!" I moaned..

"Sweetie" she cooed..

"Darling." I moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cried out..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he moaned.

as we made love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!

"Ummmmmmmm you want some more?" she asked, looking down at me.  She lie on top of me as my arms cradled her.. We were both drenched in sweat...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HONEYYYY!" I moaned.

Downstairs in Beverly and Nelson's place-

Beverly was kissing her husband, Nelson

"Ummmmmmmmmmm do you like this dress?" she asked.

"Yessss....I like all of your dresses, I always have..." said Nelson...

Their kissing got hotter and heavier... 

"Ummmmmmmm,it's a wonder you noticed....you're so quick to take them off of me.." she said, giggling...

"Oh yes, your dresses have always made me want to get undressed."he said.

Beverly laughed... "Goofball!" she said.

"But I'm a goofball with a big penis ,who wants to put it in you.."said Nelson..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU YES YOU DO AND YES YOU CAN!!!! OUUUUUU!"moaned Beverly.

\

He unhooked her bra and slipped her panties down and off...Beverly slipped her pretty dress off and hung it over the side of the couch...

Despite their rule about not making love on the  couch, both were too far gone to care... Beverly was on top of him kissing him and fondling him softly, driving him out of his mind..

She spread her legs open and eased down on him , moving up and down...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU HUSBAND!" she moaned...

"BEVERLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY CHERYL!" he cried out....

She rode him like a surfer rides the waves, staring into his eyes as he played in her hair...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed..

Her entire body began to tremble, her head turned from side to side, tears began to freely flow down the side of her face....

"My husband loves me." she whispered.

"YES HE DOES!" he cried out..

Lifting her up, still inside of her and heading to the bedroom...

He spread her legs again and slowly entered her...She was as wet as she'd ever been...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!" she cried out.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BEVERLY GIRL!" he moaned.

"OH MY GOD NELSON!" Beverly screamed out as Nelson humped her over the bed..

"HONEY BUN!" he cried out...

She loved his nickname for her......

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he moaned.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed..

Her entire body began to tremble, her head turned from side to side, tears began to freely flow down the side of her face....

They made sweet sweet love for the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS.

Beverly lie on top of Nelson, with his arms cradling her butt...drenched in sweat....

"My husband loves me." she whispered..

"He sure does." said Nelson..

While upstairs...in our domicile..

Olivia and I, awakened by Beverly and Nelson's moans, were having round two...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! "I moaned..as she stradled me, opened her legs wide and rode me....

"IS IT GOOD TO YOU DADDY?" Olivia screamed...

While halfway across the city at a lovers lane...

A very flashy 2025 BMW sits with both of it's doors open...The woman in the drivers seat is dead.. Her neck has been broken..

The woman is Haley Connors.

The man beside her is still unconscious...His head bleeding profusely....The smell of whiskey is all over him.. The man is attorney Douglas Baldwin....

IV-

Lovers Lane- 7:00 AM

"The woman's neck was broken...Her neck really got a good working over.."said a CSI Man.

"This is a sporty car, a 2025 BMW."said one of the detectives..

"Must've cost a mint." said another detective.

"The Car belongs to the dame, Haley Connors...." said one of the detectives.

"Rigor is setting in...She's been dead at least EIGHT HOURS!" said Dr. Hazel Baylor.

Dr. Marcy Martin was placing a bandage on Attorney Doug Baldwin's head...She had stopped the bleeding.

"I'm telling you..We went out to dinner...I didn't drink...I don't drink anymore...Haven't touched a drop in a year since I been in AA.. She asked me if I wanted to stop in her condo for some coffee..I went up..Somebody hit me from behind with a sap...and something was injected in me..That's all I remember...Until you guys woke me up.. I never came here...Never."said Doug Baldwin..

"So this was all a set up eh Doug?   Come on...You smell like a saloon...There is an empty bottle of Jamesons on the floor of the car with your prints all over it.. and you've got her lipstick smudges on your jacket..

"Artie, you've known me for years...I might've been a drunk at one time...but I'm not violent, I'm no killer...I'm a lawyer for godsakes.. Come onnnnn... I didn't do this...I swear... She was my client...We just won big yesterday....I had no reason to do this,."protested Douglas Baldwin..

"You tried to put the moves on her and she was having it...Things got out of hand... Thaty's what I think happened...You were sloppy drunk and lost your temper, lost your mind....I gotta take you in Dougie...I'm sorry."said Lt. Tragg..

"Awwwww come on Artie." said Douglass...

"Hold up....I'm calling my lawyers." he said.

"You mean someone would represent your drunk behind?" laughed Lt. Tragg.

A Few Hours later at our Office /Duplex-

"Come and Get it! ,Breakfast is ready!" said Alfreda...

This morning, we were having Eggs to order, Sausage, Hash Browns, Coffee and Grits...

"A Got a Text from Dougie Balls.  He must have texted me while I was in the shower...He's been arrested and charged with "Suspicion of Murder" said Beverly...

"WHAT?? SUSPICION OF MURDER?? HIM???" said Nelson, incredulous...

''Douglas has been many things, but he's no killer and anybody who knows him knows that." said Olivia.

 

''Who could he possibly be accused of murdering?" I asked.

"That girl he was with yesterday when we saw him...Haley Connors."said Beverly.

"Noooooooooooooooo...She was his client...He had just won a big litigation for her..." said Nelson.

"I can't believe that." said Josie.

"I don't believe it....You know who the arresting officer had to be...Lt. Tragg!" said Bresha.

"Who else ?" said Alfreda.

"He's our friend....We have to Help him...We are , Aren't we?" asked Nelson.

"Of course we are...After we finish breakfast of course." said Olivia with a smile.
