VENTURES: Out With A Friend

We had been to this building before...It had a great bar and a fancy pool on the top floors..

It had an incredible and modern conference room, which we now found ourselves in...

Attorney Blake Wade accused of Morgtage Fraud was arguing that the three properties he now owned were purchased in good faith and not fraudulently....

Sofia and I sat on one side of him...

Yvette, Bee Bee and Kahlil sat on the other side of him...

Sitting directly across from us was Attorney and former Judge, H. Stanley Stanlison and Wade's ex-wife, Elaine Crawley- Wade.

Elaine stared at her ex-husband..

"Damnnnn, he's still so handsome... He still makes my panties wet.." she thought.

She hadn't seen or talked to Bruce Greene in a week.. He had been busy in court and she had been busy with this litigation...That was good ,she thought!

Blake hadn't seen his ex-wife in over a year....He found himself surprisingly aroused...

"My God...She's still fine as hell....Why do we have to be here?" he thought.

We all wondered that as we presented our evidence and they presented theirs...

"We are arguing that these charges against my client are bogus and false....They have no merit..

He legally purchased properties in New York City, here in Philadelphia and in Atlanta..."said Ms. Yvette.

"We have his financial portfolio right here...He took out a loan for the first house in Atlanta and paid it off in one year...He purchased the house here in Philadelphia with his own money, made from his successful law firm.." said Sofia.

"He purchased the third and final property in New York City with another loan which he has nearly paid off..."said Bee Bee.

"From what we can see here, everything is proper and in order...and in no case did he list these as his primary residence." I said.

"Ohhhh that's where you are wrong."said Attorney H.Stanley Stanlison...I have a refferal letter written by the Chief Loan Officer of the bank in New York City that claims your loan was frauduent and that it was given to you at a rate you knew was lower than the going rate." he said.

"Is this just about the New York Property?? That Loan Officer was removed from his position..He suffered a nervous breakdown and is presently undergoing psychiatric attention in a state mental facility." said Kahlil.

"If this case is based on a refferal record, one that is questionable...Then there is no real case." said Yvette.

Jade walked into the room just then and passed Ms. Yvette a piece of paper, then sat down next to her.

"They had done their homework...and we didn't catch that." whispered Ericka to H.Stanley Stanlison...Yet her focus remained on her ex-husband...Blake..

"Damnnnn, he's still so handsome... He still makes my panties wet.. I'd love to see him one more time..It's been two years..."she thought...

While Blake was thinking... "I have some damn good lawyers... We might be able to work this thing out today and to show her there is no hard feelings...I'd like to meet with her and slip something hard into her... Damn, she looks good." he thought to himself.

We decided to break for lunch.

We were just a few blocks from our building...and we all walked over to the building and our cafeteria.

Where we all had a delicious hot lunch..

"This is a great building you all work in Yvette...Great Cafeteria, Great Food." said H.Stanley Stanlison.

"We like it...We call it home." said Yvette.

"The Food choices are great and the ambiance is incredible." said Ericka.

"I know a great place here in the city I'd like to take you tonight if you're...If you're uh open...."said Blake.

"I-I-I'm open..." she whispered....

She knew Bruce was wondering where she was...She usually ate in Sam Mothers for lunch...but not today.

"They're talking..."said Bee Bee.

"That's a good sign...They might work this thing out themselves and end our involvement in this." I said.

"I saw the way they were looking at each other during the negotiations...Like they were still in love.."said Sofia.

"You're such a romantic Sofia." said Kahlil..

"They did used to be married.."said Bee Bee."There is something to be said about that." she said.

"Vettie has got her entire team here and the opposition."laughed Jazzy.

''Wow! That's Elaine Crawley Wade....Willie Crawley's other daughter."said Dabnis.

"She looks eerily just like her sister." said Kayla.

"Identical twins, wow!" said Ray.

"The resemblance is eerie..."observed Jessica.

"It's like observing a ghost..." said Chip.

"WOW!"said Karen.

"We weren't part of the team then...but I remember when her sister sued Olivia, Beverly and Josie."said Natalie.

"I remember too...That was something."said David.

"Three cases and her sister lost all three of them."said Brooke.

"And was murdered...She had a gambling addiction and used to bet on the outcomes of her trials."said Sean.

"A Good Attorney, or I should say, a smart attorney never does that because a trial could turn out anyway."said Zoey.

"Well anyway...She was into some Atlanta Area Gangster for millions and she coudn't pay up and he smoked her..."said Lem.

"I remember that...He turned in States Evidence against 15 members of an organized crime family in Atlanta...and initially got a 15 year stint in Federal Prison... His lawyer...That guy sitting right over there, H.Stanley Stanlison got 15 years knocked down to 5 and he was very quietly released.. He's in Witness Protection."said Renee.

"Probably farmed him out to some hick town in the midwest with a new identity."said her husband, Tyrell.

"I hate that they make deals like that with Killers."said Nina.

"That's the prosecutor in you."laughed her husband, Carlos.

"Yeah didn't there used to be a TV show about that?" asked Paris.

"Yeah, it was called Witness Protection."laughed Tony.

We all burst into loud raucous laughter...

"You guys are sooooo stupidddd!"laughed Lee.

II-

At a market later on that night-

"I don't get you Tony.....You did a five year stint in a federal prison...you're out and in witness protection and you pick Philadelphia to hole up in." said a young man known as Emile Gantz...

"I like it here....I obviously can't go back to Atlanta....I'm too well known there...but here...I have no profile. I was in this prison in Texas for five years....Five years...The rooms were like Dormitory rooms..That locked at night... We walked around free all day...They had a library, Wifi, A swimming pool...A Basketball Court, A Tennis Court and pretty good chow... It wasn't like being in prison, It was like bein in college I tell you..Except for the electric razor fence...There was nothin about the joint that said prison."said Tony Salermo, a former Atlanta Gambler and Underworld figure.

"You got 15 years Tone, What are you doin out?" asked Emile Gantz, a Russian Gangster.

"I had a good lawyer....He lives here in Philly..He worked the deal out for me.. I testified in a few more trials, put some L.A. gangsters away...and the feds chopped 10 years off my sentence...How do ya like that?" said Tony.

"You're playing a dangerous game Tone." said Emile.

"The Feds farmed me out to Butte, Montana...It was dullsville...I was losing my mind there..I stayed there for a year and then I headed east...For Philly...My kinda town...Nobody knows me here..I got this Book making racket going on with the local Russian Mafia ,makin good money and I'm clean...There is one bug though." said Tony Salermo..

"What's that?" asked Emile.

"I ran into this guy the other day....He's a lawyer....His sister in law is the woman I killed...He recognized me...I don't know if he even lives here, but he does own a house here...She was from Atlanta, but she was trying a case up here and she owed me money...I 'm gonna have to pay him a visit
to uh straighten him out....He's got house here, Atlanta and in New York...I think he stays in New York,....I'm gonna meet with him tomorrow and convince him to uh stay in New York permanantly and uh keep his mouth shut."said Tony Salermo.

And in another part of town....at Olivia and Beverly's place-

"You sure you can't stay for dinner Blake? We have plenty of food?" said Olivia.

"No thank you...I actually have a date tonight...but I thank you for your hospitality and I want you guys and Yvette's team to join me in New York...I own an Air BnB there." said Blake.

"WOW! That's something I would look forward to...Who doesn't love New York.?" said Donnie Ray.

"It would give you a chance to cover your old Stomping Grounds , St. Johns University."said Beverly.

"Yeah...that would be great."said Nelson.

"I was born in Philadelphia, but I was raised in the Big Apple." said Josie.

"Really? Well you'll enjoy a return."laughed Blake.

"I know you're relieved that your case is over..." said Paris.

"Yeah I heard they dropped the whole thing ." said Bresha.

''Wow"said Tony.

"I had great lawyers....I can't thank you guys enough..."said Blake.

"Just doing our jobs."said Yvette, sitting in her husband, Gary's lap.

"My baby always gets the job done!" said Gary...

"I gotta admit ,I didn't expect them to cave as fast as they did..Maybe that good meal at our cafeteria softened them up." I laughed.

"Yes, she was surprisingly very accomodating...I expected her to be a barracuda like her sister."said Bee Bee.

"They may be identical twins , but they are different people." said Sofia.

"Guess you would know ,right Blake?" said Kahlil.

"They were very different...That's why I married one and not the other...but uh you know...Sometimes things don't work out."said Blake.

"And sometimes they do, after awhile."said Jade.

Blake got a peculiar look on his face...He smiled...

"Yes sometimes they do." said her husband, Danny.

"Honey do you want some more coffee?" asked Alfreda.

"Oh Thank you.."said Virginia.

"I'll have some too Alfreda.."said Jetty...

"Well good people...I've got to be going....Thanks again for everything." said Blake.

"Man's got a hot date."said Rockland, smiling wryly....

''Something makes me wonder who?" said Yvette quietly.

III-

Elaine and Blake met at a tony new bar....

"You're looking good." said Elaine. She couldn't take her eyes off of him...

"So are you."said Blake, who couldn't take his eyes off of her..

They talked a lot as the afternoon wore on and downed many drinks....

Many drinks....

"I'm glad you guys agreed to settle and drop this thing....I happen to be selling the house in Atlanta anyway...and just keeping the two cribs here in Philly and New York....That's where my practice is really based."said Blake.

"You had some damn good lawyers....They could have dragged this thing out....but I didn't want that...

H.Stanley Stanlison didn't want that either...He could see this wasn't going like we planned at all. He uh probably doesn't want anymore to do with me right now. So I'm out of a job." said Elaine as she downed her last drink.

''So come work for me.!..Uhhh with me....I could use a smart partner....."said Blake.

"Are you serious?" asked Elaine.

"As serious as a heart attack...I'll pay you whatever you were making before and bump it up ten percent....How do you like that?" said Blake.

"Oh My Godddd! Thank you.....Why did we break up?" asked Elaine.

" A lot of reasons...A lot of wrong reasons....It's been two years....Let's work out our differences."said Blake.

"Let's find a room...." said Elaine..hornier than she had been in awhile.

"That's a good way to begin anew....CHECK PLEASE!" said Blake.

They drove over the Bridge to Cherry Hill, New Jersey...It was a beautiful late summer night and rented a room for the night in the Holiday Inn.

"This is a nice room...Small, but nice." said Elaine....

"I've got a whole house I'm willing to share with you....If.....If you want to..."said Blake.

"OH MY GOD!" said Elaine...all kinds of emotions were floating around in her head about now..

"Right now Blake, I don't know what I'm feeling...."said Elaine, kissing him and caught up in a whirlwind of emotions.

"I don't know what I'm feeling either." he moaned..

"I know what you're feeling....I'm feeling something BIG and HARD...OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"she exclaimed.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LAWDDDD!" he exclaimed...

He slipped her dress over her head....

He slowly unbuckled her bra....

and slipped her panties slowly down and off, which turned her on even more..

They both crashed on to the bed, not even bothering to move the covers... She was so soft...She smelled good...and her lips were as soft as butter...just like he remembered

He laid her across the bed, spread her legs and slowly entered her...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHHHHHHHH MY WORRRRRRD!" she moaned...

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM...PUT IT IN...PUT IT ALL IN...OUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SWEEET BABYYYYYY! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!" he moaned...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU IT FEELS GOOD...IT FEELS GOOOD! IT FEEEELS GOOOOOD TO MEEEEEE OUUUUUUU BLAKE!!" she cried out...This was the first sex she'd had with him in three years, and it still felt good.....both of her legs were shaking, her whole body was trembling something fierce.....her head turned from side to side and tears were streaming down her face....She was experiencing an intense orgasm.....She couldn't believe it..

He wrapped her legs around his waste and she pulled him closer to him as he humped away...

"OH MY WORRRRRRD! WOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! BLAKEYOU ARE SO DAMN BIG AND HARD!!! OUUUUUUUUUUU! DID YOU GET BIGGER?? OUUUUUUUUUUU LAWD?" she screamed.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYY...UMMMMMMM! OH MY GOD!!! YOU ARE A BIG BOY...OUUUUUUUUU YOU'RE A HORSE!!" she moaned...

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW IT'S ALL FOR YOU!" he moaned..sweating bullets...

"OH MYYYYYYY!" she said.

Again...both of her legs were shaking, her whole body was trembling something fierce.....her head turned from side to side and tears were streaming down her face....She was experiencing another intense orgasm.....She couldn't believe it..two and so quick....

One thing she could say about this visit to Philly....She had certainly gotten laid and laid well...

They began making sweet sweet love......"OHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU COUNSELOR!!

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" she moaned..as the bed rocked and squeaked louder than it had since they'd begun making sweet love... The headboard creaked and sounded like it might split in half...

"Elaine, Oh Elaine....Oh my goddd this is sooooooooo damn good.." he moaned...

"YES IT IS!!! UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! OHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" she screamed out....

The bed squeaked even louder...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed. She had yet another intense orgasm ,her third!!! that had her crying like a school girl, had her head turning from side to side and had her legs trembling...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU WHYYYYYYY?? WHYYYYYY?? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO IT TO ME SO DAMN GOOD???OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! OH DAMN BLAKE!! BLAKE!! LAWWWWWD BLAKE!!!, AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWWD WHYYYYY?" she cried out..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW SWEEEEEET BABYYYYYY! OUUUUUUUUU!" he moaned..

They made love for the next TEN TO ELEVEN HOURS!! She couldn't believe how passionate he was, his stamina.. It was as if he didn't want to get up off of her!!He was just like Bruce, never wanting to

stop until he had to...

She lie peacefully on top of him...trying to catch her breath and fondling his still rock hard penis.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BLAKE, YOU MUST HAVE BEEN MISSING ME...OUUUUUUUUUU

YOU ARE STILL HARD!/" she said.

She crawled on top of him, spread her legs and eased herself down on him.. He was astonished.

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed loudly..Her body trembled.....tears streamed down the side of her face.....

"OH MY GODDDDDDDD!" she cried out....

"OH MY GODDDDDDDD!" he cried out, enjoying every moment..

"IS IT GOOD TO YOU? IS IT GOOD TO YOU BABY?" she yelled to the top of her lungs..

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWW, AWWWWWWWWW LAWWWD YESSSSSSSSSS!" he cried out..

riding him like a surfer rides the waves.....He didn't know if he was coming or going!!

She had yet another intense orgasm.....She feared she was slowly losing her mind.....

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" she moaned.

"AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..LAWWWWWWWWWDDDD!" he moaned

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU GIVE ME THAT MONSTER!!! OH MY GODDDD!! YOU ARE HUGE!!! AND SO DAMN HARRRRD!! OUUUUUUUU! GIVE IT TO ME!!" she cooed.Her whole body trembled something fierce..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYY DAMNNNNN!" he moaned..

"IS IT GOOD TO YOU? IS IT GOOD TO YOU BABY? LET ME RIDE THAT HORSE!!!WOUUUUUUU! " she yelled to the top of her lungs..

"YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!" he yelled out....

They sat on the side of the bed kissing passionately, while she moved up and down....

ANOTHER TWO AND A HALF HOURS PASSED BY

He came so hard, he felt as if he were dying....

She had her final intense orgasm.......

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! IT'S GOOD TO MEEEEEEEEEEE...OUUUUU BLAKE MYYY DAMNNNNN!! OUUUUUUUUUU!!!!! " she moaned.. She had yet another intense orgasm , that had her crying like a school girl, had her head turning from side to side and had her legs trembling...

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed.... Blake was sound asleep...She was cuddled up beside him...She felt as comfortable as she'd ever felt...

Her phone was on the floor...She noticed there were 27 calls from Bruce Greene..... and a couple of texts....She sighed... What was she going to do about him?

IV-

TWO DAYS LATER- SAM MOTHER'S DINER

We had had a court date... We were having a well deserved Breakfast in Sam Mother's diner..

"Boy this place brings back memories doesn't it? Law School..."I said.

"Not just law school, but when we were working in our first building.."said Bee Bee.

"And Saturday Mornings ,before we discovered the No I.D. Bar's brunch." said Sofia.

"This place never gets old..."laughed Kahlil.

To our surprise, Erika Crawley -Wade showed up and sat down with us...

"I hope you guys don't mind.... I just want to say it was a pleasure going up against you...You're great lawyers and you all have great futures...I hope there is no hard feelings." she said.

"None at all...Ms. Yvette teaches us that each case is just a job and never take it personal , regardless of how it turns out." I said.

"Your Ms. Yvette is a very wise woman and a great lawyer in her own right." said Elaine.

"So what's in your future now that this case is over?" asked Bee Bee.

''Well I'm going back to New York for a few weeks then I'm coming back here to live and work in Philadelphia.. I'm getting married again." she smiled showing off an engagement ring..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUU LOOK AT YOU!" said Sofia.

"OOOOOU WHO IS THE LUCKY GUY? ANYBODY WE KNOW?" joked Bee Bee.

"SURE IS....YOUR NOW FORMER CLIENT, BLAKE WADE , WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY EX-HUSBAND." laughed Elaine.

"I KNEW IT!! I KNEW IT!! I SENSED A SEISMIC CHANGE AT THAT LAST NEGOTIATION!"said Kahlil.

"Right!!! You didn't sense nothin..."I laughed.

"I did ,I did!!! CONGRATULATIONS DOLL! "laughed Kahlil..

Bruce Greene walked in just then and sauntered over to our table....

"Elaine, your office was packed up and emptied while I was in court...." he said.

"The Case is over Bruce...I'm leaving...I hate goodbyes...I told you I'd be leaving after the case was done!" said Elaine.

"I called you 27 times two nights ago 27 times ...and I traced the GPS on your phone to Cherry Hill, What were you doing there?" he asked.

Both Bee Bee and Sofia cringed at the thought of him calling them that many times and not getting the hint and tracking them..

"Ouuu listen to how possessive he is.." whispered Bee Bee.

"You think they had something goin on?" whispered Sofia.

"I don't know, but he's not her husband or her boyfriend...He's got no right to question her like that."said Bee Bee.

"Typical Bruce!" whispered Sofia.

"I was out with a friend!" was all she would say and she got up and promptly left...

Leaving Bruce angrily spinning around like a top and kicking at the table...our table..

"Hey Man, cool it with that kicking the table!" I yelled..

"YO MAN!! COOL IT!" said Kahlil.

AND IN THE WALKWAY BETWEEN BLAKE WADE's PHILADELPHIA RESIDENCE-

"Cause of death,two gunshot wounds to the back of the head...Death was instantaneous...He never knew what hit him."said one crime scene investigator...
