A Fabulous Mess

A Monday Morning....Not an average Monday Morning....A Monday Morning when my wife, Attorney Olivia Bennett-Alexander was not in court....Since we'd returned from New York last month..

Olivia had recently closed three court cases ,all acquittals and won a sizable amount of cash for another client...a Litigation... She had nothing pending for awhile...She was relaxing...

Her niece and a partner in their law firm, Beverly West had just closed three cases herself, all acquittals and had settled another case out of court.....She too had nothing pending and was just sitting around relaxing today....

It had been awhile, since she and her aunt had worked together....Seemed like the past few weeks...They both had separate cases and were in and out of the office, as well as court, sometimes hardly seeing each other...

I of course saw both of them...I was doing investigative work for both of them....Me?  I am Donnie Ray Alexander....Investigator and Husband of Olivia Bennett-Alexander and uncle by marriage to Beverly West..

I'm the Investigator for their law firm and former New Orleans Homicide Detective... A chance meeting between Olivia and I during Essence Fest in New Orleans a few years ago led to me quitting the police force and moving to Philadelphia to work for her as a Private Investigator and marrying her, because I found I couldn't be without her...

The three of us have had some pretty memorable cases In Philadelphia where we lived and in Punta Canta, Dallas, San Deigo, San -Francisco, London ,Maine among other places.

Today however, we were here in Philadelphia at our home and office , where we'd been for sometime..

"Wow Auntay...I've missed you....Seems like we haven't worked on a case together in a minute." said Beverly...

"I know and with you spending the nights with Nelson...I went days without seeing you...Tell him he's got to move closer to you..." joked Olivia...

"He'd love that...Then I'd never get any sleep.." joked Beverly...

"You'll get used to it.." said Olivia...looking at me and smiling...

I smiled sheepishly....

''Hey I saw Zoey in passing yesterday.....When I was in court with Shortcake...

She told me that she and Lem are going to San-Francisco this weekend...She has a few vacation days left that she wants to use and he has some Innocence Program paperwork he wants to clear up with our Friend ,Larry North." I said.

"Awww that's nice...Their first vacation together.....We need a nice vacation....Somewhere exotic.....I wouldn't mind going out to the West Coast even...I love San-Francisco..." said Olivia..

"Call Larry and Syl, ask em if they have any death penalty cases they need overturned..."laughed Beverly....

"Or sleazy Television Executives....who rip girls panties off!" I joked, thinking about our last case out in San -Francisco...

Olivia and Beverly both cracked up laughing...

Just then, Josie Boyd...Our Office Manager walked into our conference room...

"Liv, Bev....You have a visitor...Mr. Dominic Johansson..." she said..

''Oh My God...Dominic...." sad Olivia..

"That name doesn't ring a bell.Auntay." said Beverly...

"You don't know him, but I do....He was one of my corporate clients when I was with my old firm...I've kept him on retainer all this time..." said Olivia..  "Send him in Josie.." said Olivia..

"I'll get him." she said.

A white man, slightly balding in his mid 60's walked in....He was wearing a very expensive, yet conservative dark suit...I could tell he was a corporate man...

He stared at our conference room and looked around...He smiled...He hugged Olivia and smiled at her warmly...

"Liv, How long has it been??...Nice Office...Very Nice...You always did have Style..I am impressed....You have your own practice now!  Look at you!" he said.

"Coming from you Dominic, that's indeed a compliment.." said Olivia..

"What's the rent here? This is a nice building..." he said.

"No rent...I own this building ,lock ,stock and barrel...I bought it while I was still working at the firm...My divorce settlement helped me with the rest....My husband and I live upstairs on the second level and my niece here, Attorney Beverly West lives on the level below us...." said Olivia proudly...

"Nice... I remember you talking about a niece, who was also an Attorney...Over at the Public defenders office....So this is she, huh?" he said.

"Yes...Beverly, this is Mr.  Dominic Johansson, Regional Area manager of Victoria's Secret...One of my corporate clients...Dominic, this is my niece, Attorney Beverly West, my partner." she said..

"Pleased to meet you..." said Beverly, smiling...

"My God...Liv, She could be your sister...and she can't be but a few years younger than you..." he said.

"Nine years and two days..." said Olivia... "And this is my husband...Mr. Donnie Ray Alexander...He is our investigator..." she said.

"Pleased to meet you sir." I said.

''Same here...Liv ,I'm impressed....Nice small staff....Nice little office...and you live on top of your office...Sweet...None of you has any excuse to be late." he joked...

We all laughed....

"Did You know, your old firm has merged with three different firms?....Three different firms..They have so many names on their marquee ,it hardly fits....They should have made you a partner Liv...They made a big mistake ,letting you go...Liv was one of the few lawyers at that firm who had trial lawyer experience....Most of those guys were litigators in boardrooms, but had no trial experience..Liv won a lot of cases for them...They never appreciated her....That's why so many of her clients left with her ,when she went on her own...."he said to Beverly and me...

We looked at Olivia with pride...

"I've seen you two on the news...I've been keeping up with you...I'm proud to say you represented me...I tell everybody I know that I know you." he smiled...

"So Dominic...Still in the Panty Business?" asked Olivia..

"Yes...Yes....Liv ,it's driving me crazy, which is why I'm here...." he said.

And here it was...Our next case....They say you should be careful what you wish for.

II-

We sat around the conference table... Dominic held his head down....

"I figured this wasn't just a social visit...What is the problem Dom?" asked Olivia..

"First off....How would you like to go to Puerto Rico??....All of you for about a week?" he asked..

''What? San Juan?" asked Beverly..

"Exactly..."He said...

Now I was excited..."YEAH!  Keep Talking!" I said, smiling...

He pulled out a photo of a very shapely and attractive young lady...

"This is our top model...Annalisa Phillips..." he said.

"I've seen her in your sales books and on the runway at the fashion shows on television....She's fabulous.."said Beverly...

"Yes....She's a fabulous mess....Drugs, Booze, Serial Affairs...She's already hired a lawyer...A real shyster...named Darin Walker...

He doubles as her manager...I need you to go down there as a representative of the company and square things up with her...I don't like him or trust him..." said Dominic..

''What do you want us to do? She has counsel." said Olivia.

"He's a leech...He's looking for a pay day...and I don't trust him...She had a baby a few months ago...He claims it's his...Here is the rub...A guy she was involved with here in Philadelphia, swears the baby is his....She's so high half the time...She doesn't even remember.."he said.

"Excuse me for asking sir....but this all sounds personal...What is your interest in all this?" I asked..

''Good Question! The man up here...The man in question is MY NEPHEW!!!  He swears that it's his baby...He says they had  a falling out and she took his name off of the birth certificate and put this sleazy lawyer's name on the birth certificate...If you could, would you look into that for me...Try to get her to take a paternity test...And just make sure her legal affairs are in order....That's all...It is a personal favor to me Liv.. I'd appreciate it very much...I'm paying airfare for the three of you...and your hotel...and of course your legal fees ...It would be a week at best..." he said.

Olivia looked at the three of us...

"Well....We said we wanted to get away....Why Not?  You guys in?" she asked..

"Like you have to beg us......Of course we are in...Right D.R.?" said Beverly....

"You know it.." I said.

"Thank You Liv...I'll leave the tickets with your Office Manager.... She sounded as if in the past few weeks something was wrong....Something was wrong between her and Walker...She said that she saw another Attorney, A Carmen Rodriguez,

and worked out a little will or something.. Maybe you could look her up and get a look at that will...Maybe it names the father...At Any rate I'd just like to clear this mess up.." said Dominic....

"We'll leave in two days....Can we talk to your Nephew?" asked Olivia..

"Yes....Here is his number and address....I sure wish my nephew was as stalwart and dependable as your niece... He's an Attorney too! Failed the bar twice....Would have passed it the first time if his head was in it and not between Annalisa's thighs...He spent a lot of time with her...following her around the country, drinking, boozing, sexing...I was so glad he finally passed the bar....I got him a job over at Dewey,Cheatum and Howe and Associates...I know somebody over there...They owed me a favor...So, I called in my markers...He's been working there for a few months...Makes pretty good money...He's my older brother's son....My older brother is dead now...I promised him I'd look after him! It's been  a project! Azza Baza!" he sighed...

Beverly smiled...

I smiled too!

"Thanks Livy....I'll have the Airline tickets here tomorrow..." he said...

"Okay!" said Olivia..."Don't worry about it...We'll take care of things..." said Olivia..

III-

"Oh My God...San Juan...Auntay...We have to go shopping for some new Bathing suits...and clothes..." said Beverly.....

"It's only going to be a few days baby girl....Why don't you call Nelson and ask him if he's got any free time...I'll pay his airfare and hotel expenses...I'll put it on our corporate card..."said Olivia..

"You'd do that Auntay?" asked Beverly...

"I figure you wouldn't want to be down there alone...Why not?" said Olivia..

"The money I was going to spin shopping...I'll re-imburse you..." said Beverly....

Olivia kissed Beverly on the cheek...

''What a nice, responsible and stalwart niece I have..."she joked...

I smiled..

"You know....uh...I'll chip in some towards that re-imbursement myself.." I said..

"You just want a kiss don't you?" said Olivia ,laughing and giving me the side eye...

Beverly and Josie laughed....

"You two are so cute!" they said.

III-

The next day ,I went to visit Dominic's Nephew myself...His name was Neil Johannson, the son of Dominic's Older brother...

He lived in a West Philly townhouse in a predominately Black Neighborhood...Not far from the University of Pennsylvania..

He appeared a bit scruffy, but his place was otherwise very neat....He had finished law school a few years ago and had failed the bar twice....The third time was the charm....He passed....He worked for a couple of firms , but that wasn't him...He left....His Uncle got him a job at Dewey ,Cheatum and Howe and associates...At least he was working.

He smiled when I came to his door..

''Alexander right?  Donnie Ray Alexander..."he said.

''Yes..."I said.

"My Uncle told me you'd be coming...You work for Olivia Bennett right?" he asked..

"Yeah and I'm married to her.." I said.

"Oh! Ohhh My How Sway!!!  She's keeping it in the family....Her niece is her partner and her husband is her investigator....Nice!" he said...

"I'm Here about Annalisa...." I said.

"I was hoping Olivia and Beverly were coming with you.....

Man...I envy you....That damn Olivia...WOW! if you don't mind me saying and her niece is no slouch either..." he said.

I could tell he liked Black women....

"They're getting ready for Puerto Rico...We are going down there tomorrow to square things up with Annalisa..." I said..

"And my kid!!!....THAT LITTLE GIRL IS MY DAUGHTER....NOT THAT SHYSTER, DARIN WALKER WHO IS GOING AROUND CLAIMING IT IS!!!" he bellowed...

"That's why I'm here...To hear your side of the story....."I said.

"Look, a year ago...we were together in New York City for fashion week..." He said..

"We had a great little spot in the Village where we were staying....

We had been drinking all night long...We scored some good joint and smoked a lot of that and then we went back to our spot...We had been seeing each other for maybe three months...

We tossed off our shoes and I slammed her up against the wall and began kissing her passionately...She returned my passion....My jacket and her blouse went to the floor as I continued kissing her and she continued kissing me...I unzippered her dress and slipped it off....She unzippered my trousers and I hurriedly stepped out of them....She held my now massively erect penis in her hands...

"Oh My God...Neil....Ouuuuu...you are loaded.." she exclaimed...as I unhooked her bra and began sucking on her breasts.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Neil.....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she moaned as I slipped her panties down ......

I thrusted my tongue practically down her throat and while squeezing one breast with my hand...With my other hand I pulled out a condom...She helped me tear open the wrapper....I slipped it on and lifted her up and positioned her on me as I entered her and began thrusting away...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY LAWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD..." she screamed as I continued to thrust , harder and feverishly more.......

She came really fast....and began to shiver........

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." she moaned...

I wasn't done with her yet ...I led her to the sofa and turned her around....I entered her from behind...I began pumping strong and steady and she really began to moan then....

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPHHH...OHHHHHHHOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
" She moaned as I continued...

I go on like this for close to THREE HOURS and she cums again.!!! I can feel it......but surprisingly enough...I haven't cum yet!

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....Oh My goodness Neil...." she exclaims....

 I lay her across her bed....She pulls my condom off.....It had busted...I guess it was cheap....We didn't seem to care at the moment...

"I want to taste you she says and she takes me into her mouth..working feverishly......I can't hold it much longer...I try to pull out but she won't let me....I explode all over her face with wild abandon......

We lie there naked and spent...Clothes all over the floor....

"Wow!" I said.  She looked at me with surprise-

"You must have wanted to do that for a long time....I have never cum that much in one session." she said...

I laid her across the bed again, a few minutes later and I entered her softly and gently and began to stroke her softly and slowly....She moaned and put her arms around my neck and drew me closer to her..She wrapped her legs around my waste and we began to move in a slow, yet deliberate rhythm for quite some time...

"Ohhhhhhhh Neil...Ohhhh Neil.....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is soooooo gooood...I want you inside of me...NOW!!"she moaned as we continued to make love....I don't know how long we lie there on her bed like that before she turned me over and positioned herself on top of me and began going up and down , up and down.....Her hair partially blocking her face....

 "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..: I moaned...as she held on tightly and began moving faster and harder..
I pulled her to me and began kissing her passionately.....

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Neil...this is beyond goood...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..I can't believe you have so much in your pants....Ouuuuuu!" she cooed..

"Yessss...arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...it is..." I moaned as we continued....

FOUR TO FIVE HOURS OF Sweet and tender lovemaking commenced...

"Ohhhh Neil...Don't stop..Don't stop....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she continued to moan.

I continued until I couldn't hold back any longer...I came furiously......Annalisa came too...I held her as she shook violently.....and collapsed softly on me...I wanted to stay inside her just a little more..but she rolled off of me...She leaned over and kissed me for a long while...Stroking my penis gently and then she drifted off to sleep....I rolled over on my back and soon ,I was asleep too...!

I didn't see her again for two weeks....And the next time I saw her...We were both here in Philly.....She told me that she was pregnant....

"Your condom burst......and you got some inside of me.." she said..

I joked...

"If I wasn't so big, it wouldn't have burst...."

She laughed but then got serious....

''Did you pass the bar yet?" she asked.

"Yes....I told you the third time was a charm....I'm a licensed Attorney now..."I said...

She said-

"Good...You can get a job with your Uncle as Co-Counsel for Victoria's Secret..." she said.

"I was like Whoa...Slow down...I don't want to work for Victoria's Secret....." .I said.

''Well where do you want to work? You have to work somewhere...Make some kind of money to take care of us..." she said.

"I'm looking at a few prospects...All the money you make, you don't need me to take care of you." I said.

"I'm not going to take care of you!." she said..

"Baby...I was just kidding." I said.

But she took it serious....She wouldn't let up!  The next few days...That's all I heard.

  We argued...It was really bad for the next few days...Finally she told me that when the baby was born I wasn't going to have anything to do with it....And she left...Moved to Puerto Rico....Nine months later...This clown she's seeing now...Darin Walker..A sleazy Attorney is on television with her saying THEY HAD A BABY!  THEY HAD A BABY!!  NO WAY MAN!!!....THAT'S MY DAUGHTER!" he said..

"Well ...that's quite some story...Come with me today.....I want you to leave a urine sample...Take some blood and allow them to swab you, So I can get a DNA composite of you.....When we go down there...We are going to initiate a paternity test...A nd prove once and for all who the father is.." I said.

"Good....I have a job.....I work for Dewey, Cheatum and Howe and associates....I'm an associate Attorney....I'm willing to pay child support...I just want partial custody of my child..." he said..

"I hope you don't mind that I recorded all of this...?" I said.

showing him my IPhone...

"No, you're really thorough...I might have to ask Liv and Bev if I can borrow you." he laughed..

IV-

That afternoon,I returned to the office.... I had Neil Johannson's  recorded statement and Blood ,Urine and Saliva samples...Olivia was beyond pleased...

"Look at my guy...." she said, smiling....

"This is nice.....We have enough for a pretty simple paternity test....Should be a snap..." said Beverly...

What we didn't know then was nothing was further from  the truth......

"Well I'm going upstairs and pack....The tickets are here.." said Beverly...

"Nelson going?" I asked..

"The sky is blue isn't it? Of course he's going..."laughed Beverly as she walked up to her floor...

Olivia put her arms around me...

"Thank you baby." she said..

"I will uh be getting a reward ,won't I?" I asked..

She kissed me passionately.....right there in the conference room....

"That goes without saying." she said as we continued to kiss..

And in San Juan ,Puerto Rico -

Attorney Carmen Rodriguez is having a heart to heart talk with Victoria's Secret Model, Annalisa Phillips..

 "Annalisa mami....You need to squirrel some money away for a rainy day...That's all I'm saying..Leave something for your daughter...That's all I'm saying...and maybe your mother. That's all the company is worried about..That's why they called me." said Carmen Rodriguez...

"You're right..and I intend to...just tell me what I have to sign.." she said,.It was one of the rare times she was sober and co-herant..She signed several papers...leaving money to her daughter and her mother back in the States...

''Who is the father of your daughter mami?  I know Darin Walker says he is...but is he really ?" asked Carmen...

"I'm not sure...I've slept with him a lot...but I've also slept with Neil Johannson, and another guy...A Model....It was all during the same three week period..I'm not really sure...It could be all three of them's baby!" she laughed..

"Well Two Attorneys who represent him are coming down here in a few days with his DNA sample..You ever heard of Olivia Bennett-Alexander and Beverly West?

,Well they're representing him.." said Carmen..

"I've seen them on Television...They defended that creepy guy, Steven Graves..Wow....I'd love to meet them.."said Annalisa..

"You will...You might want to tell Darin and your model friend to submit their DNA samples so we can clear up the paternity of your daughter.."said Carmen...

"They both have certainly left their deposits in me...I'll ask em....Don't know if they'll comply." said Annalisa..

"Come on Mami, you work for Victoria's Secret....I'm betting you can get them to comply to almost anything if you wear the right combonation.." said Carmen...

"You're right about that." said Annalisa and both women laughed...
