Before You Blow Up

We all slept pretty good that first night at Sylvia's....At least Olivia and I tried to,

but we kept kissing each other in the bed instead of going to sleep and she kept softly rubbing my penis, which was rock hard....

"You know this is sexual harrassment..."I said quietly...

''It's not harassment if you like it.." she said..

And I sure did.

''Somebody is going to hear us...We might wake the baby up.." I said.

"Okayyyyyyyyyy...I'll stop." she said...

After a few minutes,we looked at each other and laughed...and began kissing each other again..She kept softly rubbing my penis, which was rock hard....and I kept trying to hold my moans in...

I quietly mounted her and entered her quietly...The bed to our surprise did not squeak...It was the quietest bed we'd ever slept in...

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

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

"Ummmm Donnie Ray...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ouuuuu...I thought I was harrassing you.."she said..

"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! Keep harrassing me...ummmmmmm"I moaned....

 
"Morrre...Morreee....morrre...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Donnie Ray..ouuuuuu..Donnie Ray....OHHHHHHH."
she wailed...

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

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

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

'Shhhhhhh...we still don't want to wake anybody up.." said Olivia..

"Oh yeah, right." I said.

She cracked up laughing.....

Five and a half hours of good sweet lovemaking followed...


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 in the bed and continued kissing me...She eased herself down on me..

"Ummmmmm...You're still hard...ouuuu, good and hard..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" she said...softly rubbing me for a few minutes and then easing herself down on me again and moving up and down...
This went on for another hour and a half...

I softly exploded again...

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.." I moaned....

''That's my guyyyyy..ouuuuuuuuuu that's my guy...Yesssssssssssss!" she cooed softly.......as my body trembled....

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

We went to sleep....

 Next morning ,I got up, showered and shaved and was downstairs drinking coffee and talking to Sylvia, when Beverly and Olivia came down....

"Hey ladies...Did you sleep well?" asked Sylvia..

"I sure did." said Olivia..looking at me sheepishly and smiling...

"I did too... I face timed Nelson last night...His trial finally ended and he'll be out here tomorrow.." said Beverly.

"I know you'll be happy.." said Sylvia..

"So we have a preliminary meeting with the lawyer representing Colgate...A guy named Brian Culley.."said Olivia..

"I know him...He was an ADA once..He unsuccessfully ran for District Attorney....Having failed at that...He went into Private Practice...He's good...Very cut-throat.." said Sylvia..

"We've dealt with his type before." said Beverly...

''Well Be careful...He's still friends with a lot of Detectives on the SFPD.....He doesn't need to hire investigators...Those guys work off the clock for him at times.." said Sylvia.

"There was an Attorney that I did that for when I was a Homicide Detective in New Orleans..." I said.

"Was she pretty Donnie Ray?'' asked Olivia jokingly..

"Actually he was an old friend  and drinking buddy of my father's and as mean as a rattle snake.." I said, which was after all the truth..

"Ummmmmmmm good answer.." she laughed..

"This lawyer I'm working for now however is cute as hell though..."I said with tongue in cheek...

''Ouuuuuuuuuu, remind me to kiss you when we get back." laughed Olivia.

''Gurlll these two go on like this all day.." laughed Beverly...looking at Sylvia.

"Must be nice." said Sylvia...

We were all quiet then.. We realized that this may have made Sylvia feel a little bad...Her having a newborn baby and Larry North acting like a damn fool...I was going to make it my business to find him before we left here and have a good talk with him.

 "Don't feel bad....Hey look....I have to take the baby to daycare....Then get to work.....Can I give you guys a lift?" asked Sylvia..

"Donnie Ray needs the car to do some nosing around....Could you drop Bev and I off at Fox News?  I'm going to pick up another car sometime today." said Olivia..

"Oh no problem girls...Jump in.."said Sylvia..

"Let me get my purse." said Beverly.


III-

So while Sylvia dropped the baby off at daycare and then Olivia and Beverly at Fox News........

I went to the addresses of the people that Joanie Makely had talked to about her dealings with Mr. Colgate...It turned out she had told them all the same story...and they had all suggestd that she tell the authorities and or report him to someone over his head....But they all said she was afraid that one, no one would believe her and that she'd lose her job before she finished law school.  As it turned out...She finished law school and passed the bar and now was without a job and had student loans to pay back....as well as rent and utilities...This couldn't have happened at a worse time for her...She was stretching both her savings and checking accounts thin...

I went back to the television station...I blended in easily and talked to several people.. As a cop, I often found that for a few dollars...an offer to buy someone lunch and a promise that you would keep their name out of any future conversation...People would talk and sometimes tell you more than you asked for..

It was no different here...I found the Cameraman that had had the affair with Joanie...He was still married ,but willing to talk to me..They had indeed had an affair...While he was separated from his wife...It had gone on for a year......They tried to keep it a secret, but it's hard to keep things like that a secret when you're working with people everyday....After a year, they mutually decided to break it off...He went back to his wife..He was let go after that....He never really knew why, but he found other work...

I was able to get a cute administrative assistant to make copies of his employee evaluations and records and pass them to me...No one would be the wiser... All in all ,it had been a successful morning.

I took the panties to a lab and they pulled fingerprints and DNA that weren't hers off of them, but I needed a sample of Colgate's DNA to match it to...Not hard to get...I called Beverly...Who was meeting with him at the time..

She met me at the back door of Fox News....She had a water bottle he had just finished drinking in a little plastic bag that she passed to me...

''How's everything going Shortcake?" I asked.

''Contentious..Colgate is an asshole in the first degree and his lawyer Brian Culley is a condescending jackass."said Beverly....

''Ouch,tell me how you really feel." I said.

She said when they walked in the conference room...Colgate and his smug lawyer, Brian Culley were already there..

"You girls are late.." he said looking at his watch...

"Ten minutes late Mr. Culley, Not the end of the world."said Olivia..

''If you're ten minutes late for your flight...chances are you missed it right..?" he said with a snide smile..

''Already with the condescending attitude Brian?"said Joanie...

''Joanie...How nice to see you again...And who do we have here....?? Olivia Bennett-Alexander and her niece,Beverly West...

"The darlings of the left....Why I'm surprised you're taking on such a minor case...Mrs. Alexander...Shouldn't you be out getting some suspected serial killer off or freeing an already convicted killer from death row?" he remarked.

"Maybe....Sorry about your recent loss in the D.A.'s race....I heard a woman won...A left leaning Democrat too....Ouuuu that must sting." said Olivia...

"Whyyyyyy youuuuu.." he said and began coughing and wheezing to the point that Colgate had to slap him on the back....Tears of rage ran down his face....Finally he stopped coughing and wheezing and sat down...Beverly passed him a cold bottle of water...


Bud Colgate was laughing at the whole thing and drinking water after water and sweating...and tossing the bottles in the waste receptacle near him...

He was clearly upset.... Auntay had stung him.." said Beverly...

I smiled... Olivia was just as cut-throat in court as any attorney I had ever known...

"Well thanks Shortcake...Go on upstairs and help your Auntay out...Wouldn't want you being late again." I said and hugged her...

"Screw him...See ya D.R. " she said and kissed me on the cheek...

I went back to the independent lab and I got what I was looking for... The fingerprints and sweat on the panties were a match for Colgate...There was no good reason why his DNA and fingerprints should be on that girl's panties...He had indeed grabbed and snatched them off...Good thing he was a heavy sweater...A secreter as we called it..I had that and the testimonies of at least five people she had told her story to...Maybe this case would be easier than I thought..

IV-

 Olivia and Beverly met me at a Chinese Bistro in downtown San-Francisco...

We chowed down on as much Chinese food as we could eat...It was hot and it was  good...

"Well ,I heard how contentious today's hearing was...You okay?" I said.

"That Culley made me so mad that I upped the ante of the severence we were asking for....Of course Culley and Colgate scoffed..."said Olivia..

"Then we brought up the sexual assault aspect of the case and Culley and Colgate called that a categorical lie..." said Bev...

Joanie brought up that Culley himself was present one of the times that Colgate put his hand up her skirt...and of course he denied that...."said Beverly..

"So tell me you have something D.R." she said.

"Oh Do I....First off...I have five people...The five people that Joanie named that she told the stories to..They coroborate her story...completely, word for word.. and I have information and testimony from the Black Camera man that Joanie had the affair with...It was no biggie...Just an office romance..."I said.

"It's still he said ,she said..Here say when it comes to those witnesses of hers......Joanie told us about the Camera man...She cared for him very much...He was seperated from his wife at the time they were together...After about a year..She broke it off No biggie there, Unless Colgate knew about it and retaliated....We have very little proof of anything...I don't even know if the panties gives us a slam dunk." said Olivia..

"Uh Uh...It's his sweat with his DNA and his fingerprints on those panties...Shortcake gave me a water bottle he had just drank from today at lunch...I took it to an independent lab where they tested the panties for his DNA...It's a 99.9 percent match...''I said.

"Ouu I'm going to do more than just kiss you...We got him...We got him cold as you would say..." laughed Olivia...

"Ouu we are going to take him to the cleaners..." said Beverly...

"Where is that evidence?" asked Olivia..

''Where he'll never get it...In a safe deposit box ,I took out in Oakland...and guess who's name the box is in..?" I asked..

"Oh My God...who?" asked Beverly laughing...

"Jimmy West..." I said. Olivia's older brother and Beverly's father...

 "If he has people looking...Let's hope they don't make that connection." said Olivia.

"Yeah..." said Beverly...

"Before you guys uh hit him with that nugget..I want to have time to see if there is a pattern here...If there are other women he has done this to.." I said.

"Good idea... I want this to be airtight...I want to wipe that smug look off of both of their faces..." said Olivia.

"Yeah..me too!" said Beverly..

Just then...A familiar figure walked up to us...

"Hello Olivia, Hello Beverly, Donnie Ray" came the unmistakeable voice of Larry North...

"Larry, what are you doing here?" asked Olivia..

He smiled...He still looked fit and tan, still dressed immaculate and still had a great fragrance on..I made a note to ask him about his colognes before we left San -Francisco...

"I heard you guys were in town and staying at Sylvia's house and you know I wasn't going to let you guys leave without saying hello." he said.

"Hey man...You look good...We saw your little girl...She's a cutey pie.." I said.

He smiled...

"She is isn't she? She looks more like her mother than me.." he said.

''That's why we said she was a cutey pie." joked Beverly...who laughed and then pointed at Larry...

"Hi Larry." she said.

He stared at her....almost salaciously...

"Damn girl...You still look good." he said.

"Don't start Larry..."said Beverly...

"Bev...Why don't you come with me...? I know this club...In Oakland...No funny stuff,I promise...I just want to talk with you...Please...I'll bring you back home..I promise.." he said.

"Larry....Larry..I'm staying at Sylvia's house...That doesn't look right..I can't do that to her..."said Beverly..

"How about if Donnie Ray and I come? If all you want to do is talk...Then you can talk to her...but we bring her back home?" said Olivia..

He sighed..

"Fair deal.."he said.

This was a surprise...Even I expected him to put up a fight ,but he didn't....

The club in Oakland...Reminded me of Josies back in Philly....It had a live band and a singer who was pretty good...

"I like that song...Dance with me Donnie Ray..." said Olivia..

We got up and started dancing slowly to the song... Olivia buried her head in my chest...She smelled so good...Just like I remembered when we first danced in New Orleans...Meeting her had taken me to Philly, New York, Miami, Paris,London, Punta Canta, Dallas, Fort Worth, San-Diego...So many places...Places I would have never been able to afford..I was so lucky the day she came into my life..

Larry looked at Beverly...

"Dance with me Bev..." he said.

"Okay, and please don't grope me.." she said.

"I won't." he said.

They danced.....slowly as the band played...He didn't grope Beverly at all.. He was a perfect gentleman..

"Bev, I know you must feel weird staying at Sylvia's house...I was surprised when she told me that you guys were there...I thought you'd get a hotel or something.." he said.

"We started to, but Syl had cooked for us and that house is really roomy..."said Bev...

''Yeah it is.."he said.

"So why aren't you there?" asked Bev..

"I was scared..." he said.

"Scared of what? You done had a baby with her what was to be afraid of?" asked Beverly...

"Well I used to spend the weekend with her , maybe a few days in between...but now we have a baby together...She was talking full commitment...I-I got scared.." he said.

"She deserves a full commitment...Don't you love her Larry?" asked Bev.

"I love you Bev.." he said.

"No you don't...You want to sleep with me...Because you feel like I was the one who got away and it hurts your ego that we almost did it, but somehow didn't..That's all and chances are you'd bail on me too...If I gave you some and suddenly wanted a commitment."said Beverly..

"Nah...." he said.

"You did Larry..."You did ....I was ready to give you my heart and you bailed on me...Just like you are bailing on Sylvia..GROW UP LARRY!!.....Grow Up before you blow up..You got a pretty girl there with her own house and yall got a sweet little baby girl...You've got plenty of money...You can take care of her..What are you afraid of...??? Stop hurting Syl..." said Beverly...

"You really like her...don't you?? She's your rival...and you like her.." he remarked..

"She's not my rival...You called me a baby once...but you're the baby..."said Beverly...

"How is Nelson?? He call you every night ,since you been out here?" said Larry...

"He'll be here tomorrow."said Beverly...

Larry smiled..

"I should have known...You two are really serious huh?" he said.

"Yeah...we pretty much are...He wasn't afraid to give me a commitment.." she said.

"Afraid???, What was there for him to be afraid of? You were the best thing he'd ever had.."laughed Larry..

"Maybe...but he's the best thing I ever had too!" said Beverly....

The record was over....

Beverly walked over to our table..

Larry North stood there for a minute, then he walked away...

Olivia and I were quaffing down beers...

"Save a few for me" laughed Beverly...

"I need a few.." she laughed..

"Everything alright baby?" asked Olivia.

"Yup....It is for me..Larry didn't hear what he wanted to hear and I guess he left...I'm glad you two came...because if he had left me stranded in Oakland..I'd of killed him" she said.

The three of us laughed our heads off...

I looked around for Larry...There was no sign of him...

It was a beautiful night as the three of us drove from Oakland back to San-Francisco that night..
