Excuse Me, Didn't I Once Know You?

Our Day began ,not in a courtroom but in a boardroom...At And I saw What You Did Dot Com headquarters...Where Olivia, Beverly and myself met with CEO Perri Lober..and Attorney Arthur Trout and the sister of Brenda Hunsinger, the unfaithful wife who was caught in a video with someone other than her husband and shot to death a few months ago in a still unsolved murder...

The woman.. Briana Hunsinger was suing And I Saw What You Did Dot Com for one million dollars...on behalf of the family of her dead sister...She said the website's reckless handling of a confidential sex video was the reason for her sister's death....

Arthur Trout, a handsome black man , a little older than Olivia and I appeared to be very astute...From what I had researched about him.. He was a brilliant Attorney and very good for lawsuits like this...He wasn't a trial attorney ....He preferred meetings where deals could be proffered...Like this one..

Shortly before we began...He smiled upon seeing Olivia...

''Well I'll be damned...Olivia Barnes...Well haven't you come a long way..."he said ,smiling salaciously..

"You do know that I haven't been married to Elwood for years now?" she said.

He smiled..


"That's right.. That's right.. You two did divorce...His loss...My.. My.. My...I heard you left the public defenders office and was working for some heavy hitters down town.." he said.


"I was...and I left them and started my own practice...Alexander and West.." she said..


He looked puzzled for a minute...


"Alexander?? You're Alexander!!! You remarried!!" he said..


"I did...This is my husband, Donnie Ray Alexander....He's our in house investigator.." she said.


If I didn't know better, I'd swear he looked disappointed..

''Ohhh...You're the lucky, lucky man who snagged Olivia.." he said.. offering his hand..

I shook his hand..


"Pleased to meet you." I said...

''And this is my niece...Beverly West...She's also an Attorney and she is my partner in my practice.." said Olivia introducing Beverly...


He smiled..

"Oh my...This is your little niece??Beverly right??...I remember her....She was a public defender too..And she's with you now...Nice...Keepin it in the family.." he said..

"Pleased to meet you sir." said Beverly...

"The pleasure is mine...Lawdddd! Aint nothing little about you now baby!"he said under his breath checking her out...


He smiled...''So how is Old Elwood doing?" he asked.

"He's Chief Counsel for Cyclops Insurance...I can give you his address...but we don't talk.." said Olivia..

"I can imagine you don't....I haven't seen him in about six years...I was out in L.A. for awhile.. but I'm back now.."he said.


"You still married?" asked Olivia..


"Unfortunately no...My wife and I parted ways a year ago....My fault...That L.A. life got to me.. We went our separate ways...You got any single friends?" he asked..

"Not really.. My close friends are all married." said Olivia..


"Shame...Well here comes my client...and Yours...Let's get on with this.." he said.

II-

We sat around a nice big table with cold bottled water and nice tall glasses filled with ice.. Which was good.. It was burning hot outside..

Perri Lober turned heads when she walked in a room, I have to admit, she was attractive and she knew it.. She was dressed to the nines and Arthur Trout's mouth dropped when he saw her...

This was my first time meeting her...Only Olivia and Beverly had met her before...She was very seductive, especially when talking to men...She had on a micro mini skirt and a plunging blouse that was sheer and showed off her huge breasts and flowery bra..


I had done my research on her..


She was the same age as I...An Attorney with a Harvard Law Degree...She and her partner, Florry..also an Attorney were room mates at Harvard...They had founded the website And I Saw What You Did Dot Com...while in Law School as a joke.. Many years later...They took it seriously and launched it full scale...Got advertising for it and both women left lucrative law practices to run the trendy start up which generated millions for them in no time before the security breach that sent supposedly controversial videos that were supposed to be safe guarded amongst it's subscribers out into the internet and the world...


I was looking, along with Beverly into how their last lawsuit suddenly got dropped and where that originated from..

In doing so...Beverly was teaching me little things about how the law works in these cases...She enjoyed being able to teach me something and I enjoyed learning from her.. She was a good teacher...and I told her so...


Olivia and Arthur Trout began negotiating..

It really wasn't much of a negotiation....Olivia was holding steadfast that her client owed Mrs. Hunsinger nothing at all and that she needed to let the police find the killer of her sister and be satisfied with that...

Arthur argued vehemently that all of the participants on these videos signed a confidentiality clause and had a reasonable belief that none of the videos they shared would ever be seen by anyone other than members..


Olivia agreed, but said that was not her clients fault.. That they were hacked and that that was totally out of her client and her client's company's control...


The negotiations got testy at times , but went on steadily...

I hadn't even looked at the police report yet....The murder was now seven months old and definitely a cold case...

I called Lt. Sissy Van Buren of C.I.D.  She told me that it wasn't a C.I.D. case and none of her detectives were working on that case....

So I called Homicide and got the name of the detective on the case...


He agreed to talk to me and show me his case file.. I made a note to go talk to him later..and Hazel or Doc Gibbons...

As the negotiations went on..It was quite obvious that something was going on between our client ,Perri and Attorney Arthur Trout...They were smiling at each other and he was definitely eying her cleavage...

They were making goo goo eyes at each other too...

Olivia noticed it and smiled to her self.. My wife was like a shark in the courtroom and she smelled blood.. I was certain that while she wasn't going to say anything.. She was going to use it to her advantage..

Beverly noticed it too and just as subtle as her aunt, she also began to play to both of them in her arguments...

I sat back in amazement as my girls went to work...Poor Brianna Hunsinger...I doubted seriously if she was going to get a penny when this was over.. She had no idea.. That she had lost this case before it even got started..


III-

We broke for lunch...The girls and I took a walk into town...

"What do you guys have a taste for?" I asked..

"You know what? I haven't had a good Reuben in a long time..." said Olivia..

"I could go for a nice corn beef special.." said Beverly..

"Come on...I know a place around here..."I said.

 Olivia and Beverly put their hands on their hips and looked at each other...
"I tell you...You know too much about Philadelphia...I'm not going to see you on these videos am I?" she jokingly asked..

"Are you kidding Auntay?....The man eats, drinks and sleeps you.. I doubt that." said Beverly..

"Thank You Shortcake!" I laughed...

We found a diner and we took our seats...

"This place reminds me of Sam Mother's Diner." said Olivia..

"It does.." said Beverly...

"You guys ready to order?" I asked...


Just then a familiar voice wafted over our table..


"Beverly....Beverly West is that you?" came the voice of Dr. Wallace Anderson..

He was the nephew of Millionaire Playboy, Rollie Rollerson...We had gone to Punta Canta about two or three years ago to represent him on the eve of his wedding....One of his groomsmen was brutally murdered while we were there...Turned out his crooked Guardian was not only the culprit but had been looting his trust fund!


He was also "The guy Beverly let get away" ..The guy who she might have married, but who she admits , she dropped the ball on...

Beverly was stunned...


"Wallace...Wallace how are you?" she said...

"I'm Great,....Hello Ms. Olivia, Mr. Donnie Ray....How are you two doing?" he said.

"Hi Wallace...We are doing good...Nice to see you..."said Olivia..

"Heyy Man.." I said...

"I see you and your Aunt on Television every now and then and I've read about you...You two have become real celebrities ..Will I see you guys on a reality show soon?" he asked laughing..

"I don't think so...but if you know anybody in Hollywood....Give em our names.."joked Olivia...

"Hey Bae..Come here...Look who I run into...My friends...Beverly, Olivia and Donnie Ray...Remember them in Punta Canta when we got married?" said Wallace as Ginger Anderson, His wife walked over ,smiling and sipping a soda...

"Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you two....You know I never got to thank you for all you did for us during that time in Punta Canta..." she said..

Beverly gave her the serious side eye...We had just seen her on one of the videos from  And I Saw What You Did Dot Com.....bent over a desk, dress up ,panties down and a dark skinned Doctor, not her husband...ramming into her with all he is worth..It was obvious Wallace was oblivious to whatever she was doing or had done...

"Wallace and I follow you two ....The Richard Graves Case...Oh My God!!!...Soooo, What are you guys doing down here?" asked Ginger..

"We are on lunch...We are a few blocks down in the Flomar Building...A Non Jury Negotiation...Pretty routine stuff.."  said Olivia..

"Nothing that will make the six o'clock news huh?" said Ginger...

"We hope not...We are representing  this website that has married people on it sharing their videos of them with other people.." said Beverly..

"Oh like that TV show.."Cheaters" huh?" said Wallace...

"Yeah.. this one is called  And I Saw What You Did Dot Com..."said Olivia..

Ginger spit her drink out and began choking...

 She immediately began thinking about what they had done in James Westmore's office just a few months ago....

"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH...." he moaned..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH James..James...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!' moaned the woman...

"GINGER!! GINGERRRRRRRRRRRRR!  YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"he yelled..

 "Ohhhh work me..work me...work meeeeeeeeeeeeee..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu lawddddddd! MISTER WESTMORE...Ouuuuu, GIVE IT TO ME DADDY!" she moaned...

"You alright bae?" said Wallace hitting her in the back and rubbing her arms as she got herself together..

"Y-Yes..Yes...Uh..Uh..Ouuuuu.." she said, getting herself together...

"I've heard of that sleazy site....Unbelievable...Married people, people in committed relationships and swingers sharing cheating videos...Shows you how many degenerates are in the world." scoffed Wallace...

"Yeah." I said ,holding my head down and trying not to laugh...

"Hey..I know you can't tell me who.. but did you guys see anybody on them videos that you know?" asked Wallace, laughing..

Ginger's eyes got as wide as saucers.....a look of pure terror was on her face...She was as red as a beet!

"Nah...Nobody we know as of yet...but we have hundreds of hours of videos to watch...It's really not important that we see anymore.. We've seen enough." said Beverly. <

"Of course.. Wallace , if they're so degenerate ,why would you want to know?" asked Ginger Nervously...

"I was just askin...I bet you our randy new Doctor, James Westmore is on there...That damn guy screws anything with a bra and a pair of panties on.. He does more screwing than surgery..."laughed Wallace...

"That's not nice Wallace...He's a ..He's a very nice guy.. And a great surgeon...I've seen him in action..." said Ginger..

"I just know you have."whispered Beverly under her breath...

Olivia kicked me under the table and held her hand over her mouth....to keep from laughing out loud!!

I turned my head....

"He is...He just has wandering eyes and hands...Everybody knows he's slept with at least three interns and one of the other doctors over in the East Wing...The man is a walking orgasm...I'll bet if I looked at those videos I'd find him." laughed Wallace...

I thought to myself...


You sure would!!!And not with who you expect either!

Ginger looked genuinely hurt upon hearing what her husband said.....I could tell she was uncomfortable..


"Oh Wally don't repeat idle gossip..." she said.

"Idle Gossip?  Two of the interns he slept with were heartbroken when they found out he was sleeping with the other..They were friends.. And the Doctor works in my wing....She told me that he's taking her to AC this weekend......Well looks like your food is coming....It was nice seeing you guys again...."said Wallace..

"Yes.. Always...Always uh...uh...A pleasure." said Ginger as she and Wallace walked out of the deli...Once they were gone....Beverly and her beloved Aunt busted out laughing.....

"Oh My God...Did you see her face when you mentioned the website Auntay? It was all I could do to hold my composure..."said Beverly, who was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down her face..

"Oh that was priceless...Poor guy...He has no idea...I feel so bad for him and he was talking about that James fellow like a dog...I don't think she knew that she wasn't his only conquest...She looked soooo hurt..."laughed Olivia.

"That's what she gets...She's got a good man and she's cheating on him...Now maybe she'll straighten up." said Beverly...

"Think so Shortcake? Whatever it is that drove her into that guys arms...Is not going to go away....He obviously has offered her something she finds missing with your friend, Wally. The shame is...He doesn't even know it.."I said softly...

''So this is Wallace's fault?" asked Beverly..

"I don't know...but something isn't right.. Something is sideways in their relationship.." I said.

"Donnie Ray is right baby....Maybe she's bored.. Maybe she was curious...Who knows?" said Olivia..

"Yeah, you guys are probably right...I hope they work it out...Whatever it is.." said Beverly...


IV-

Later that afternoon...Olivia and I sat in our bedroom...

"What a day huh?" said Olivia...

"I have a little digging to do tomorrow...You guys won't be meeting until a day or two from now right?" I asked.

"Yeah....Bev and I are going to the Law Library to look up some predicates....and then we'll be here all day." said Olivia...


She smiled at me...


"You're giving me that look again...Like you've got something naughty on your mind.." she said..


I pulled her to me and kissed her slowly and softly...


"I've always got something naughty on my mind..."I said..

"Ouuuu...I knowwwwwwwwwwww you do baby!" she cooed

She crawled into my lap and continued kissing me slowly and softly....I eased her panties down...She unzippered my trousers...she gently stroked my hard and erect penis...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuu look at you Mister Alexander!!!" she said.

"Ohhhhhh.." I moaned as Olivia slipped herself down on my erect and waiting penis...moving up and down slowly and driving me totally insane...

''Ummmmm, you like?" she asked..

"Yes baby..yesss..You know I doooo" I moaned as the next two hours went by....like nobody's business....

Soon we were on the bed.... making sweet love....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
"Ohhh baby, give it to meeeeee....ummmmmmph..."she moaned...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Olivia...Olivia ...ouuuuuuuuuu, more, more... ohhhhhh..."I moaned.

"Ummmm Donnie Ray...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"LAWDDD girl, what are you doing to meeeee?"

"What am I doing to you? What are you doing to MEEEEEE?"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gooooddddddd lawdd it's soooo goood...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh  my god!"
 
"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Donnie Ray..ouuuuuu..Donnie Ray....OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...

"Ohhhh Olivia, Olivia,ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I'm losin my minddddddddd!! "

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I love you soooooooooooooo much...ouuuuuuuuuuuu..Donnie Ray!"

"I love you too babyyyyy...ohhhhh my godddddddddddd!" I hollered out!

I was pretty sure if Beverly was home ,she could hear us...The bed was rocking and squeaking like crazy...the headboard sounded like it was about to come loose.

Another five hours slipped by..we couldn't get enough of each other.....

We both came together...intensely....

Olivia was drenched with sweat!

"Woooo, that was something...It always is." she said.

She sat on my lap and continued kissing me...

"You're still hard" she said...softly rubbing me...for a few minutes

I softly exploded again...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.." I moaned....

She wrapped the sheets around her...I kissed her neck and hugged her....

"Wanna go get something to eat?" I asked ,catching my breath...

"Are you kidding? My hair is a mess? Noooo...but if you want to go out ,it's okay.." she said..

"Nah ,I don't want to go anywhere without you.."I said.

"Awwwww...Well how bout if we order in?" said Olivia..

I smiled...

V-

Beverly as it turned out wasn't at home...She was at Josies listening to Ingrid Rose sing, backed by Symphony Sam and the House Band...

Gus passed her another drink....

''Shortcake...I didn't know you were into Jazz?" he said.

"I'm into a lot of different kinds of music..."she said.

''Where is your aunt and uncle? For that matter, where is your fella? Aint seen em around in a few weeks.."he asked.

"She was out of town for a few weeks, She was out in California, Then New York, Then D.C....She's been back awhile now..We are working a case together in fact....She and Donnie Ray are just chillin at home...Nelson??...He's probably out with his friends...He spent the entire weekend with me.."she said.

''So you're rollin solo tonight huh? You seem like you got somethin on your mind..." said Gus...

"Nah...This trial just made me think..Think about people and how you never really know people.."she said.

"No you don't...You never really know people, but the people who really love you...You know that and that's about as real as it ever gets.." said Gus.

Beverly smiled...for the first time since she'd been home..

"You're a wise man Gus.." she said smiling..

"I aint been bartendin all my life.." he said and smiled.
