We were at a coffee shop, A new coffee shop that Ms. Yvette had turned us on to...
''Vettie girl, you were right..This is great coffee..This is our second time here though..."said Olivia.
"I told you Livy....I was here a few weeks ago...I loved this coffee. we all ought to start hanging out here."said Yvette Lockwood.
"Mmmmmm this is good coffee. Yeash, I remember from the last time we were here.." said Beverly...
"I have to know...How are the Pastries?" I asked.
"Ohhh I have some coming..You can see for yourself "said Yvette Lockwood..
'With Coffee this good I don't even care, but I know you do Nelson...."laughed Olivia..
"Yes...I have always had a sweet tooth....Why do you think I love your niece so much?" laughed Nelson..
"Well, does it work?" asked Yvette..
"Tell the truth!" chided Olivia, her aunt.
"Yes..!" said Beverly, blushing and smiling sheepishly...
at Ms. Yvette and Her Aunt Olivia...both women , who were more like Big sisters to her and responsible for her being an Attorney...
"WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!" said Nelson.
A Pastry Tray arrived .....
"Ouuuuuu that looks scrumptious."said Olivia.
"Oh no problem....I couldn't keep something like this from you guys..."said Yvette.
"Sitting across the room from us was a person, a future adversary ,who we didn't know was watching us..
New Assistant District Attorney, Diane Baronski , who had just come to town from Boston....She had had a 100-0 record in Boston and had come to Philadelphia and lost her first case to Yvette Jones-Lockwood and her crew of Keith Jones, Beatrice Evans- Jones, Kahlil Ahmed, Sofia Garcia- Ahmed and Jade Lee.
She was still smarting from that defeat....It had been weeks ago and she had won 10 cases since then., still she smarted from that one defeat in court.
She observed us at our table drinking coffee and enjoying the pastries..She was sitting with former FBI Agent, Now Private Investigator, Bert Vandenberg..
who had done investigatory work for her as well as share her bed numerous times since had gotten here.
''What's on your mind Diane?" he asked.
"I see Yvette Lockwood over there...Do you know who her guests are?" asked Diane..
He laughed.. "Oh yeah...That's Olivia Bennett-Alexander
and her niece,
That guy there is Nelson East, also an Attorney, very good...He is a protoge' of Olivia's...They worked together at the Public Defender's Office...He's married to her niece, Beverly and an associate attorney at their law firm..
That man there is Olivia's husband...Donnie Ray Alexander, ex homicide detective, Now her firm's principal Investigator..
And that little lady is Josie Boyd, Another protoge' of Olivia and Beverly...Just finished law school last year and passed the bar...The newest attorney on their team." said Bert...
"No Not yet....I'm sure our paths will cross eventually...."said Diane, observing us..
She didn't know how right she was.
II-
A DAY LATER-
A Huge crowd is assembled at a local Black Bookstore..
They are all here to get a copy of the hot new book "Marriage In Black and White " by Husband and wife team, Aida and Billy Gleason.. who had written several other books on being a modern African-American couple..
"That Lecture was so on point, All the good points they made about marriage and relationships."said Kayla Bennett-St. Jacques.
"I knowwwwwwww....It was so cool that you got us all autographed copies Boo Boo."said Beverly ,calling her cousin and fellow attorney Kayla Bennett St, Jacques by her childhood nickname for her..
"We are in tune baby.." laughed Dabnis..hugging his wife...
Attorney Chip Burrows laughed and pinched his wife Jessica's butt..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUUU... Cut it out!" Jessica Sanchez- Burrows laughed and playfully swatted her husband...
"I like that...Couples should never lose their youthful sense of play and lust...Isn't that right baby?" said one half of the writing duo..Billy Gleason..
and they kissed passionately....
"Oh I know you don't.." laughed Bee Bee..
"Oh Me neither.."laughed Kahlil..
"Come on Guys...Let's get out of here...Let's go to Jake's, get some of his fantastic Hot Dogs.."said Beverly...As the 12 people , all married couples left the seminar....
"Aida, this book is selling better than the last book we wrote...We are making millions..." he said gleefully..
Aida sighed...
"Yes I know....We have one more book on our contract and then that's it..." she said.
Billy's phone rang....
"Uh that was Byron...uh..I've gotta go." he said.
III-
It was midnight..Beverly and Nelson were still out with their friends..
Olivia and I were home, alone in our domicile, acting like a married couple....
It was a nice unseasonably warm winter night....
"Nothing on TV....You got anything in mind to do?" asked Olivia..
Olivia and I wasted no time getting out of our clothes and winding up on the living room floor..going at each other in reckless abandon...
"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....Donnie Rayyyyyyyyyyyy....Ummmmmmmmmmm husband.........OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" she cooed...
and escalated to our couch!
"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" I moaned..
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOOOOOOOOOD LAWWWWWWDDDD DONNIE RAYYYY!" she moaned..
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYY GODDDDDDDD OLIVIA!!!! OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I cried out loud as I held her petite body in my arms and long stroked her..
"OUUUUUUUUUUUU HOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO
OUUUUUU...OHHHHHHH MY GODDDDDD DONNNIE RAY...AYYYYYEEE..AYYYYEEE...
OUUUU AYE Yi YIIIIIIII!"screamed Olivia..
OUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"moaned Olivia, who had had several intense orgasms...moving up and down on me and kissing me as if she was trying to absorb my lips...
We finally made it into the bedroom.....We made love like this the next EIGHT TO NINE HOURS!
Olivia was very passionate..she was letting all of that pent up anxiety, all that disappointment, all that frustration out in the bedroom and I for one was enjoying it.
While at the Bookstore..
"She bled out...That's a perfect cut...Her throat was slit....."exclaimed a Crime Scene Investigator..
"Time of death is around uh 10:30 pm.." said Dr. Hazel Baylor....
"Looks like she struggled with her killer...Her watch is broke and look at the time...10:25 pm...You were right on the money Hazel.." said Lt. Tragg, kneeling down and looking at the body.. Who is she?"asked Lt. Tragg.
"She's one half of the most successful Husband and Wife writing duo...This is Aida Gleeson..Her and her husband, Billy Gleeson are the authors of "Married While Black" , "When A Marriage Fails" , "Love and Marriage ", "Sex and the Married Man", Sex and the Married Woman.""Marriage in Black and White" and "Married and In Tune", they've made millions and sold millions over the years...They have a Podcast and an hour long weekly Radio Show."gushed Hazel, who owned all seven of the couple;s self help books.
"No one has located him...He wasn't at their home.."said a Forensics Specialist...
"Find him, ASAP!" he said.
"Alright, bag her and tag her...Hazel , have that autopsy report on my desk as soon as possible."said Lt. Tragg..
A tear ran down Hazel's face...She really loved the books written by this couple...
"We are on it boss." they said.
They put the body of Aida Gleeson in a body bag ,strapped it to a gurney and rolled her out..
"What a sad way to end their love story.." she thought..
IV-
The next morning...Olivia and Beverly had just finished an intense negotiation...Our clients had left..
"That's always a good thing.." I laughed and said..
Our doorbell rang..
"I got it "said Alfreda, our office manager and Beverly's mother.
William "Billy" Gleeson walked in...He was wearing the exact same suit he had on the night before..and he looked disheveled ....
"Oh My God...Billy and Aida Gleeson...I have two of your Books, "Sex and the Married Woman" and Sex and the Married Man." said an equally star struck Olivia.
''She didn't need to read his books on that....I've been teaching her that almost every night." I jokingly whispered to Nelson
"I fear I 'm going to need legal counsel...I was told you two are the best..." he said.
"You said you weren't around.....You were gone all night? And your wife was murdered in the Bookstore.??" I asked.
Two police cars parked in opposite directions faced each other in front of our doors..
"Ohhhhhhhh hell...It's you know who."said Beverly..
"Billy, take the arrest, say nothing..exercise your right to remain silent...We'll be down."said Olivia.
"Gotta hand it to Lt. Tragg, he's on the case..." laughed Nelson..
Alfreda let him in without saying anything to him...
Beverly said nothing...
Gleeson, You have the right to remain silent...If you give up this right, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law..You have a right to an Attorney, which I see you have already attained...Hook him up boys..."he said as two uniformed policemen handcuffed him...
William Gleeson held his head down..
Josie motioned to Beverly to come to the window....
The press, every TV station in the city was outside snapping photos.
As Lt. Tragg walked William Gleeson out of our house in handcuffs...They were photographed and a throng of reporters asked him if he had killed his wife..He was stoic...He said nothing..
"He said he was out all night...I assume that is his alibi..Let's hear it." I said.
