Losing Again

Olivia would tell me about this later...

Around 11:30 pm, one night a few weeks later after the decision to try Eddie Vinson...her I-phone rang...

Her caller ID said Joseph Crawford...

He had been calling Olivia late at night asking her what she was wearing, breathing heavy and talking nonsense about them meeting up and spending a night together...

It had taken both her and Beverly all the strength they had to keep me from going over to his house and beating the crap out of him...

After I calmed down...I bought some recording equipment from a spyware shop and told her to record him every time he called...We could use this in our appeal and our attempt to have him removed from the case for misconduct....Possibly for a sexual harrassment suit in the future if need be.

Beverly looked at her Aunt...

"It's him again Auntay...You want me to answer it?" she asked..

"No..use the recording device that Donnie Ray hooked up and record the time of the call.." she said as she answered the phone..

"Hello."

"Liv..Liv...I-I-I know you're alone...I was in Josie's and I saw your husband playing with his group....He's very good...a former Homicide Detective , and quite a musician..He's a man of many talents...He had just started his second set when I left.." said Judge Crawford..

"Why are you calling me?" she asked..

"I feel just terrible...Just terrible about what happened.." he said.

"Too late now...The damage is done.." said Olivia tersely...

"It's just that I was so angry when you refused to see me.." he said..

"I gathered as much...Goodbye Joe." she said and hung the phone up..

Beverly snickered and counted backwards from five...by the time she got to one...The phone rang again..

"Gotta give it to this guy...He is consistant...if nothing else." laughed Beverly...

"A consistant pain in the ass." said Olivia.

Olivia and her niece both chuckled...

"Hello..." said Olivia dryly...

"Olivia...please...Please don't hang up... I can't have you being cross with me..Olivia please forgive me...My heart is just torn..I hate quarelling with you." he said.

''We aren't quarreling.."she said,.

"What are you doing?" he asked..

"I'm preparing for trial..A trial I wouldn't even have to be trying if you hadn't been so petty.." said Olivia..

"I am so sorry...I will do everything I can do to help you come trial time.." he said..

"You're not going to have anything to do with the trial if I can help it..I'm making a motion that you remove yourself from the trial because of our past personal relationship."said Olivia..

"We were uh once lovers.." he remarked..

"I wouldn't call it all that...You were one of my law professors and we dated a couple of times...That should be enough to have you removed.." said Olivia coldly..

"Not to mention we slept together...once..And it was a very memorable night...I can't recall a more memorable night."he remarked..

"Sleep being the operative word.and as for memorable..It's a night I'd like to forget."said Olivia..

Beverly couldn't help busting out laughing...

"Who else is there???" he demanded..

"My niece...She's helping me prepare.." said Olivia..

"You know you don't have to work on these things alone...You could uh come over here..and I could uh keep you company..."he remarked..

"I'm not alone...I'm with Beverly..." said Olivia..

"Well perhaps you might need some male companionship." he said.


"I'm married...I have male companionship.What about this don't you understand?"asked Olivia.

"He's not an attorney...You need someone who can stimulate your mind as well as your body..Heh,heh,heh...and you have stimulated my body....I'd love another chance to stimulate your body....lawdd... I could help you with the case...and then perhaps...I could be on your case....ummmph, ummph, umphhh....ouuuuuu...I'm gettin hard right now...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he said.

"You finished?" asked Olivia coldly...

"It's late...Shouldn't you girls be turning in now?" he asked..

"As soon as you get off the phone..We just might." said Olivia.

"By the way..are the two of you sitting around in your panties??" he asked..

''Don't call here anymore!!!..Do you hear me?" said Olivia..

"Liv-Liv...Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn..I was joking....but are the two of you sitting around in your panties??"  he asked..

"Good Bye Joseph." she said.

''Don't hang up Liv-Liv...Please....I-I just need to hear your voice...I just need to talk to you...I miss you..I'm just desperate for the sound of your voice..." he pleaded.

"Good Bye Joseph. Take a cold shower...You'll feel better!" she said and ended the call.

''What a freak" laughed Beverly..

I was coming in the door just then...

"Hey babies.." I said and lifted Olivia up and kissed her passionately...

Olivia giggled like a school girl... "Put me down crazy mannnnn!" she said and gave me a sloppy and wet kiss.

Beverly tried to run, but I picked her up and spun her around and kissed her softly on her cheek and hugged her..

''Let me go...Let me go.." she laughed and giggled..

"So what's been happening ladies?" I asked as I passed them both Hoagies and cold bottles of water

"The freak called again." said Beverly...

"You record him?" I asked.

"Yes ,I did...It will go with our appeal just fine.." said Olivia.

The phone was ringing again.....This time I answered it...

"Hello." I said..

There was no answer...

Click!

I shrugged..

"He hung up !" I said...

"You didn't really want to talk to him did you?  You wanted to snuggle up with mama." said Olivia,kissing me...

"Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd on that note...I think I will turn in....Goodnight Ossie...Goodnight Harriet"laughed Beverly as she let herself out......

Olivia and I were still kissing passionately...



II-

A week later ,Olivia, Beverly and I stood in Appellate court in front of Judge Barry Paret, one of the most racist-sexist judges practicing...Olivia looked at Beverly and me..

"Oh my god...We can't catch a break can we?" she said..

"You know this guy too?" I asked.

"We both do...He used to be an ADA....He was a jerk then...and I seriously doubt that he's not a bigger jerk now!" said Beverly...

"I went up against him three times and all three times I beat him,winning acquittals for my clients..He is not one of my fans..."said Olivia.

"I faced him too." said Beverly.."Four times..I beat him three times and the fourth time I got a hung jury and later on the charges against my client were dropped for insufficient evidence..He hates me too.." she said.

"I guess you make your share of enemies being a lawyer huh?" I said.

"Comes with the territory...I'm sure you made your share of enemies as a Homicide detective..."said Olivia..

"Sure did...and they weren't all criminals either...Some of em wore blue uniforms.." I said.

We all laughed....

"Mrs. Alexander....under any other circumstances...I would throw this entire case out...and remove this judge as you are asking...but I'm not going to....And do you know why?" asked Judge Barry Paret..

"I'm sure you're going to tell me." said Olivia sarcastically..

I was thinking...probably because she's not white and she's a female...but I kept my opinion to myself.

"Now now Olivia...Sarcasm is not becoming of you....You knew full well that this Judge was your former Law professor and that you and he had been romantically involved in the past...You could have petitioned the court to remove him then ,but you didn't...Not until he ruled against you...For that reason...I am not going to remove him...He ruled against you...So he proved he can be unbiased...I'm not removing him or throwing this case out...Judge Crawford stays and his ruling stands..." he said and slammed his gavel down...

"Must be nice not having to lose cases.." snarled Beverly...

''Excuse me...Ms. West, Did you say something?", he asked...

Beverly looked at him and gave a phony smile...but said nothing...

"Well girls...What is our next move?" I asked..

"We are going to beat the pants off of ADA Fowler....I intend to make him look like such a fool,it's not going to be funny....Donnie Ray, talk to Eddie...try to round anybody living who was actually at that party that night...Bev subpeona Ms. Homewrecker, Karyn Duval...I suspect she's not going to tell the same story in court under oath...There is reason why this was settled out of court...It was too weak a case to take to trial...I'll have the last laugh yet." said Olivia and she walked off..

"It's been a long time since I've seen my Auntay that angry..." said Beverly...

"Yeah me too!" I said.

"You should take her out Donnie Ray ,someplace nice.."said Beverly..

"You think so Shortcake?" I asked..

''If I felt the way she does now...I'd want my man to do something nice for me.." she said..

"You make a good point." I said.

III-

I took Beverly's advice and took Olivia to a very Tony new steakhouse...For a great meal, candle light dinner and quiet conversation...She was surprised...

''Oh My God Donnie Ray...I have always wanted to come here...Why now? She asked as the two of us sat down at the table?

"Because...You've been having a pretty rough time with this case...The roughest time since I've known you and I felt like you needed a break...A nice night out...A nice quiet night out...And we aren't going to discuss this case at all, you hear? And you aren't picking up the tab on our company card either...I got this!" I said.

"Oh My God.....I love you soo much Donnie Ray.." she said crying...

''Don't cry Olivia..Don't cry...it's okay...besides...I been wanting to see you in that sexy black dress since you bought it in New York City...Don't get it all wet." I said and winked..

"You mean you've wanted to unzip it and get me out of it..." she said and slyly laughed....

I did...that's all I could think about...but there was time for that later.....We had a very nice cut of steak and baked potatoes....A very robust House Salad and we downed two bottles of the best wine the house had...

I wasn't used to eating and drinking this good...Not on my former cop's salary..but now...I was living differently....I had to learn to get used to this...Being married to a very successful attorney ,who owned her own firm...

"I love you soo much Donnie Ray.." she said starting to cry again as we waited for the check.....I leaned over and started kissing her passionately...

"Stop crying Olivia...Whatever happens...It won't be the end of the world....I'll still be by your side.."I said..

She rubbed my hands softly.....

It was a wonderful night....Olivia definitely felt better..Her spirits lifted...

IV-

 That night in our room..Olivia sat on my lap..I had my arms around her.....She was softly fondling my now engorged penis....I hadn't be able to wait to get her in the house....We had been kissing in the doorway and then on the steps leading up to our floor...Once inside, she looked at me seductively and slipped off her panties and passed them to me..

We both smiled as we got naked and stared at the moon outside....

Olivia was kissing me passionately....

"Thank you so much Donnie Ray.." she said. "Not just for the surprise night out in the middle of the week, but for always being by my side and for holding it together...I know you want to beat Judge Crawford to a pulp...but you're being cool for me...I love you for that.." she said.

''Baby..If he wasn't a judge..I'd of knocked his teeth out of his mouth by now..But then I'd lose my license and I'd be no good to you in this case and that would be one more problem you'd have in a case full of em.."I said laughing...

Olivia was kissing me passionately....

"You got nothing to worry about." she said and softly stroked my penis.....

"Nothing....wooooooooo...not a thing....." she said....

We kissed some more......

"I couldn't stand to see you sad baby.."I said...

Just then, her I phone rang...

"Oh who is it at this time of night...?" she said angrilly..

I was angry too!  Who was calling at this time of night???...Although I knew.

"It's your boyfriend...the judge...Answer it...I'm recording it."I said...Now more than pissed..

"Liv-Liv...Can you talk?...Just listen, I had to talk to you..I had to hear your voice..Where you been???, I been trying to call you all afternoon..Is he asleep?" he said.

"I was out to dinner..." she said.

"With him?? Where did he take you?" he asked..

"What do you want?" she asked coldly.

"Oh Don't be like that...I'm interested in your life, how you're being treated......What are you doing now?" he asked..

"I'm naked.." she said..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh...ho hoooooo..hooooooo....you are??? Yessssssss..Naked....Ummmmmm...Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyy...Well now Big Daddy is definitely interested in the uh state of your undress...HO HO HOO!!!" he said ,laughing wickedly....

"I'm about to make love to my husband!!...So can you make this quick?" she asked..

There was silence...then he spoke...He was a little perturbed...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHH FOR THE LOVE OF.......I'm still on the trial...Looks like we are stuck with each other..So try as you may,you can''t get rid of me..." he snarled........

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu...oh my god Donnie Ray...Ohhhhhhhhhhhh..." moaned Olivia...

"Olivia? Are you...Are you still there? What's going on??" asked the Judge...

"Babyyyyyyyyyyyy...ohhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I moaned.....

"Huh?Olivia? Are you...Are you still there? What's going on??What are you doing?" he asked...

"Ohhhhhh Olivia, you're driving me crazy....ohhhhhhhhhh.." I moaned..

There was the sound of the bed squeaking and the headboard silently slamming against the wall..

We were really making love!!!...Olivia had put the phone on the night stand..It had great pick up...

Nobody felt like Judge Crawford's foolishness tonight.....

Olivia started kissing me again after she laid the phone down...I lifted her up....

We laid across the bed... I entered her and begin to thrust inside of her deeply. I tried to catch my breath, Olivia wrapped her legs around me and her arms around my neck as if I was falling off a cliff.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu...oh my god Donnie Ray...Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...You are hitttin mama's spots..ouuuu weeeeee...." she moaned...

"Ohhhhhh Olivia, you're driving me crazy....ohhhhhhhhhh..damn girl..ohhhh" I moaned..

 Ouuuuu Mister Alexander....ohhh my goodness..wooooooooooo..YESSSS ,Big Daddy YESSS!!"she moaned..laughing and turning her head from side to side....

"Awwwwww lawddddd!" I moaned myself....I was going crazy.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Donnie Ray....My lord..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...." she moaned...

"Girl, what are you doing to me?" I asked...I was losing my mind...

Olivia laughed and kissed me slower,softer....

"The question is...What are you doing to meeeeeeeeeeeee...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,oh my goodness...Donnie Ray.....Lawddddddddddddd!" she moaned.

 "Olivia? Are you...Are you still there? What's going on??Well I'll be damned!  I don't believe this...You callin another man Big Daddy? I'M YOUR BIG DADDY!!!"said  Judge Crawford again....He stomped his foot in anger!!!

The sound of the bed springs squeaking and the headboard slamming against the wall was louder now..

"Ouuuuu.....Just trying to make you feel goooooooooooooooood as usual Big daddy.......ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." Olivia cooed.

 "Well...you're doing a good job...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..damn good job!!"I moaned...

"Glad you like it baby!" she said...

"Mrs. Alexander...I love ittttt.."I said...

''Anything for you Big Daddy..ouuuuuuuuuuuuu, oh my lord...ohhhhhhh!ohhh my goodness..wooooooooooo..YESSSS ,Big Daddy YESSS!!" cooed Olivia.

The sound of the bed springs squeaking and the headboard slamming against the wall was louder now..louder than before..

Judge Crawford hurled his phone across the room....and stomped his foot angrilly.

"I'll be damned!!!!ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!I WILL BE DAMNED!!!!THAT'S JUST RUDE!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" he yelled out in anger.....

We continued making love for the next five or six hours....
