Need You Bad


Conrad and I stood outside Josie's Bar and waited for Clerow to drive up in his yellow Cooper. He did and with him in the passenger seat was an elderly Black man named Hank Kimble. Hank Kimble was the locksmith. I told Clerow and Hank to follow us out to Conrad's House. As we drove Conrad sat pensively, looking downright frightened. I wasn't used to this Conrad. He was a fearless lawyer in the courtroom, going toe to toe with Prosecutors, District Attorneys and Judges. He looked almost pale.

"So what's up Conrad, what's the deal with this girl?" I asked.

"There is no deal..she's a sex monster." He said..

"What in hell is a sex monster?" I asked ,laughing my head off.

"You don't understand the kind of trouble I am in here Sean....Jill said that if I ever cheated on her , she'd leave me." said Conrad.

"You mean you hit that?" I laughed out loud..."That young girl?? Why Conrad, you're old enough to be her father.." I said still laughing as I drove.

"You don't understand...it wasn't exactly like that Sean....She used to be a para-legal at my firm..I used to get her to take a few of my breifs back and forth to the other attorneys." he said.

"Yeah, I guess you did." I laughed.

"You gonna let me tell the story or are you gonna crack corny jokes?" He said.

"Alright...Alright." I said.

" We would talk...nothing serious, just casual conversation. I took her to lunch a couple of times and gave her some advice on how she might advance her career. Soon ,everyday when I came in, I would have a hot steaming cup of coffee waiting for me like I like from Starbucks and a blueberry muffin, slightly warm, with butter melted in the middle from Delancy Street on my desk. She started coming by more often..wearing very short, I mean short mini skirts....white blouses that you could see through with white lacy bras...and talkin all breathy like Marilyn Monroe..It was all I could do to control myself... Then one day, I was working late...I thought I was in the office alone and I looked up and there she was...With a white trench coat on...She opened it up and she was wearing a White babydoll and a matching white thong, with those thigh
high panty hose and white stilletto heels....Well Sean...I knew what was up then...Wasn't nobody there, nobody would know...so I cleared everything off of my desk and I took her right there in the office on the desk." He said.

"Wow Conrad, you're my hero man...even I aint never done nothing like that." I gasped, still laughing.

"I shouldn't have done it...I know..but I was weak...I drove her out to my house and we spent the entire weekend making love ....we didn't even eat....we stayed in the bed the entire time..I didn't take any calls or anything......but after it was all over..I told her that the sex was nice, but that I was not interested in having a relationship with her...I said that we worked together and that it just wouldn't look right...She said she understood....but that wasn't the end of it...The Coffee and the muffins continued to be delivered...She hacked into my personal e-mail and began sending me hundreds of e-mails saying that she missed me and that she needed me and that I said that I loved her and all this stuff...She sent messages to my Blackberry, My Facebook page
my other cell phone....I never told her that I loved her...she's out of her mind." he said.

"Conrad, you got a Facebook page?" I asked, simply amazed...

"Yeah, yeah, everybody's got em.." He sighed. he then continued his story. "Her behavior got crazier and crazier..She started calling me at my home every night ,begging me to let her come back over...She started sending me countless e-mails with pictures of her in lingerie or just plain nude...and then the text messages , the countless calls on my cell phone and the disapearence of my keys.. I confronted her , told her in no uncertain terms that I didn't want to be involved with her like that, I even told her that I had a woman...but the harrassment continued. Finnally I had to take out a protection order against her. She stopped bothering me for like two months..but
now she's back...If she should find out about Jill or if Jill finds out about her, she'll leave me...and I can't allow that to happen...I've been with Jill almost twenty years..."he said.

Conrad and Jill had met when they were in Law School...Jill was a beautiful woman who looked like she was White....She was the child of a mixed marriage...Her Father was an African American lawyer from North Philadelphia and Her Mother was an Italian from South Philadelphia...A strange match indeed. Conrad and Jill had lived together for six years, then decided it would be better if they had their own places. Conrad always said that he was going to marry Jill, he had just never gotten around to doing it.

We got to the house and Conrad let himself in...We went from room to room, searching and looking, but we found nothing. Then we got to the guest bedroom.

"Ummmm Hmmmm...She's been sleeping in my bed...I knew it." He said.

"Ugghhh Conrad...I think that was me and Sheila...We slept in your bed." I said sheepishly.

"You slept in my bed? You had that big couch out there, what the hell you have to sleep in my bed for..?? I hope you changed the damn sheets?" He said.

"Course I did." I said.

"Your triflin ass probably didn't even wash em did you?" He said.

"All DONE Mistah Young" said Hank Kimble, the locksmith..before I could answer. He had changed all of the locks and had given Conrad a new set of keys.

"Thanks Hank and thank you Clerow for coming out here...Let me arm this electronic alarm system..She won't come in this house again.. I'm gonna grab some clothes...I'm going to Jill's house...Clerow will take you home ."Said Conrad as he packed another bag and got in his Jag...
Just then, his cell phone rang. He looked at me...

"It's her!!! She sent me a text message, read it ." He said.

I looked at his Blackberry...the screen said-

"I need you bad as the air I breathe...
I'm about to go insane..
Oh Conrad ,I can't take this pain...
I need you bad.."

Conrad looked at me-

"She's as crazy as a crack house rat." He said as he hopped in his Jag and sped off down 611.

I got in the car with Clerow and Hank Kimble and as we pulled off...My cell phone rang.

"Hello" I said (It was Sheila)

"Sean, can you come over tonight?" she said.

"Uh yes...I don't see why I can't...what's up?" I said.. I had just spent the entire weekend with her...I didn't expect to be hearing from her this soon.

"I need you bad....real bad.."she said.

"Is this like uh, a booty call?" I asked as Clerow and Hank Kimble smiled to each other, listening to my phone call.

"It can be if that's what you want it to be." She cooed....

"Well, this is a first for me...I'll be over in about an hour and a half.." I said.

"Okay...I'll be waiting.." she said.

I didn't know how serious of trouble Conrad was in....but right now...I wasn't worried about it..it
was his problem ,what I couldn't know then is that soon it would be a deeper problem than either of us realized....

Sex Monster


After our little un-invited vistor left, Sheila and I went to the bedroom and made love again...In fact, we made love about five or six times before finnally collapsing into one of the most peaceful sleeps ever. When I woke up, Sheila was in the kitchen fixing breakfast... She fixed scrambled eggs, hash browns, pork sausage just like I liked them cooked and a nice big pot of coffee.. We drank two tumblers of Orange Juice, while we waited for the biscuits to brown. Oh and I made the biscuits mind you. After eating breakfast,I started washing dishes...We didn't quite finish drying them because...yeah, well, we made love again, right there in the kitchen... We went back to the bedroom and made love again...and then finnally, we took a long shower together and we made love again in the shower...Sheila was just insatiable, which was surprising to me..because at work she was so uptight...Wearing the business suits and always wearing her hair in a bun..I had only seen her hair out three times that I could recall...Once when she came for her interview..
(She had heads turning in the office that day...) The time she came to my house before and now...
We wound up cooling out in Conrad's jacuzzi..listening to some old school hip-hop...Eric B. & Rakim, Classic L.L. Cool J., Run-DMC, Dr. Dre-"The Chronic", Public Enemy....and the music did
something to Sheila's libido again...She turned ,facing me and lowered herself on me...and alas, we made love once again...I would have never believed it! Nobody at the office would ever believe this.

We finnally were able to keep our hands off of each other long enough to get dressed and tidy up.
I made sure that the house looked the same way it did when I got there.. I even changed the sheets in the guest bedroom..and put new sheets on Conrad's guest bed. Satisfied that everything was in tip top shape.. Sheila and I ,with overnight bags in tow walked out to Conrad's
Jag.. I looked across the street and there was Bridget Myers , fully clothed now, sitting in that
Jetta. She smiled sweetly,waved and pulled off... I wondered how long she had been sitting outside Conrad's house and why she had come back.

I drove Sheila back to Philadelphia...She laid her head on my shoulders...I was shocked that she had went from treating me like a leper to practically acting as though we were hooked up after one weekend...Damn,I must be good!

"So Uh...did you have a good time?" I said, not being able to think of anything else.

"I did...and I know that you did." she laughed...

"I sure did...my goodness girl...you better not take a six month layoff again.." I chuckled.

"I was hoping that I wouldn't have to." she said..

"Well...if you play your cards right...you won't...I'd like for us to do this again...at my house the
next time...uh, ruh...if ..er, you know, that's alright with ..uh...you?" I stuttered...

"It sure is...I don't have a problem...I do have a question though,
"Is this all I'm going to be to you, a booty call, a weekend booty call?" she asked, turning serious.

"Well uh, no...hey uh, look....I aint been in a serious relationship in a minute and I was thinking that maybe well, you know, we could try that out..you know, kick it a little bit, see how it works out..you know.." I said.

"Well Sean....let's see how it goes...let's take it slow...If I get a hint, just a hint that you're screwing around...all of this ends...you got that." she said ,suddenly reverting back to the no nonsense account exec that I knew...Must be the city air.

"Certainly..I mean, why would I even want to cheat on someone as gorgeous as you?" I asked.

"Save it Sean...just don't....I've been hurt before and I'm not trying to go for no okey doke...We had a great weekend...and we could have a great relationship if you do right by me." She said.

"I'll do the very best I can" I said as we pulled up in front of her house. I let her out of the car and grabbed her bags and walked her up to her door...She put her key in the door and I walked
inside with her bags.

"You can put those bags there on the floor, I'll take care of them later...Come here." she said.

I walked over to her and she gave me the most sensual kiss I have ever had....
"You're my boyfriend now, so all of this is yours, whenever you want it...however you want it,so don't mess up." she said...

"No mam" I said as I kissed her again and bid her goodbye, feeling like the luckiest man on the planet.

Once I left her, I got back in the Jag and pulled off...My cell phone went off...It was Conrad!!

"Hey Sean, what's happening?" said Conrad.

"Hey man, where you been?" I asked.

"I was in DC ....it was business...I'm at Josie's Bar, come pick me up."

"Man, Jill called...I told her that I didn't know where you were." I said..

"That's okay, I called her, told her I would be in DC..it's all good." he said.

"Hey uh Conrad..I met your little friend." I said.

"Freind? What friend?" He said...

"Bridget Myers...She was at the house, she said you gave her a key...When did you meet her playa? How come you didn't tell me about her, you old dog you?" I laughed.

"Key? I never gave her a key...you said she let herself in??? Oh my God, we got a problem.. Listen....Sean..go and get Clerow..He knows a locksmith....She stole my keys...I thought I had lost them...Get Clerow and his Locksmith and meet me at Josie's...that girl is no friend of mine, she's a sex monster." said Conrad.

"A what?" I said ,laughing out loud...

"I'll explain when you get here." said Conrad...sounding more gravely serious than I had ever heard him sound before.

Sex And a Sudden Stranger


I was leaving the Whole Foods Market with the groceries I would need to fix dinner for Sheila and I.. I was House sitting for my Lawyer and friend, Conrad. I had picked up some nice cuts of steak, some potatoes for baking, frozen broccoli , some condiments and a bottle of wine from the
State Store. I put them in the small trunk of his Jaguar.. and was headed towards the car door when my phone went off...I sure hope this wasn't Sheila cancelling.


'Hey Sean, this is Jill.." (Conrad's woman, an attorney from New Jersey.)


"Hey Jill, how are you doing?" I asked.


"I'm Fine...Have you talked to Conrad?" she asked.


"Yeah..I'm watching his house for him for the weekend
,I assumed he was spending it with you." I said.


"Is that what he told you...that he was coming to see
me?" she asked.


"Well no, he didn't...He just said he'd be away for the weekend...maybe it was business." I said trying to be assuring.


"Well..okay then...if you do hear from him, tell him to give me a call." she said.

Conrad wasn't the type of guy to cheat on his woman...I mean, he wasn't me....so it seemed strange that he didn't tell her where he was going. I wasn't going to worry about that now. I had my wine, I had my groceries and I had Conrad's fly ass 2009 Jaguar.. All I had to do was go and pick up Sheila...I took off for her house in my Jag...Boy, I loved jetting through the city streets in this car...Honeys looking at me, smiling...Guys wishin they were me...Me wishing I was the Me I was pretending to be.

Sheila came to the door looking great... She had on a Grey Cable sweater and a matching Grey skirt that accentuated all of her positives , nice sheer black pantyhose and matching Grey spike
heels. Every hair was in place...make up just right..and sexy lip gloss that made her look just delicious.. More Delicious than the meal I was going to cook.

She, Like myself and everyone who had ever been to Conrad's house was impressed with it..How could you not be.. The three floors..The Satelite music pouring from very powerful speakers on each floor.. The Flat screen TV's in practically every room, with BET-HBO- CINEMAX, VH-1, SHOWTIME, MTV playing in the room of choice...It blew my mind and I had been there before.

I cooked her a delicious meal...(Sirloin Steaks, Baked Potatoes with Sour Cream, Broccoli with cheese melted over it) and we killed the bottle of wine... I found a jazz station from San-Francisco on Conrad's Satelite radio and I dimmed the lights and we listened to some good jazz and just talked.. We had a great conversation about Obama's win, what it meant to Black people, the state of the nation, the economy,etc. I found Sheila to be quite knowledgable on a number of subjects and this night she saw and heard a different side of me that she is not accustomed to seeing and hearing about at work. For a scant second, I wondered where Conrad was and what he was up to..but mind you, not that long.

Sheila and I finnally got around to that kiss and what a kiss it was...Her lips were soft like butter and her perfume was intoxicating as it went up my nose...She had on just the right amount..not too much..not overpowering...We tongue danced for what seemed like an hour...I kept running my hand up her dress, squeezing her supple rump...as my dad called it..At first she would move my hand...then she finnally stopped and began to relax.

I pulled her cable knit sweater off of her ...She was wearing a very pretty purple bra...I unlatched it slowly and took both of the huge breasts into my hands...I stroked them gently....
and we kissed again...and again and she put her hand on my neck and pulled me to her this time...She began to moan very loudly...it almost sounded like two women moaning... I suceeded in getting her bra straps down completely and placing my mouth around her breasts...she was beginning to shake like she was having an attack and sweat profusely....a six month layoff will tend to do that to you.. She took my tie and my shirt off and began to lick my chest and kiss my neck...I believe , but I'm not sure now that I was beginning to moan a bit..She unfastened my belt buckle and eased my pants down and off...while I began untying my shoes...

"Oh my..somebody is glad to see me.." she cooed..

She helped me remove my red silk boxers....Red? Hey don't trip...I spent $80.00 for them draws. She slipped a condom on me from out of nowhere it seemed and then positioned her self on top of me...She struck me as the type who wanted to be on top....

"Sean,I'm gon ride you like a horse" she said...

Seems like I should have been saying that....and we did...She went up and down and up and down very slowly at first and then she began gaining momentum...I palmed those breasts of hers
as they bounced up and down and for about two hours I had the most enjoyable experience of my life... I turned her over and entered her from behind and went to town...all the while telling myself.. don't say nothin stupid...don't call out no other girl's name..just be cool...as cool as you can be in a situation like this...

She came and she let out a yell that frightened even me...I could've swore that I heard someone else yelling too...but that was impossible...There was no one else in the house but us.. I exploded
soon after she did and I collapsed on top of her....

"Oh my god..Sean, I needed that so much,
thank you soooo much for that...I just needed
that." said Sheila as she lay her head on my chest.

" It's been a long time hasn't it baby?" I said..
feeling pretty damn good.

"It was a long time for me too.." came a strange voice.

We both jumped up and to our surprise and shock...this woman....a pretty little thing in a bathrobe that belonged to Conrad walked into the living room.

'What the .....who the hell are you?" I asked...

"I might want to ask you the same thing...
what are you doing in my man's house?" she said.

"Your man? Who is your man?" I asked.

"Conrad...he gave me a key ,told me to watch the
house." she said.

"He told me to watch the house" I protested...

The woman then did something peculiar..She shrugged, then said-

"Oh, well okay then..I'll just be
going on back home..I saw the lights on
and I decided to see what was going on..
yall had me so horny just watchin yall
that I came myself.." she laughed.

"What's your name?" I asked...

"Bridget...Bridget Myers..Conrad
knows me.. tell him I said hi." she
said and she walked out the door
and got into a Jetta and pulled off.

Sheila looked at me and I looked at her, we weren't buying that story..Nobody comes to a house in just a bathrobe to check on it...and further more...she's not a neighbor..wasn't too many Black
people living around here.....Conrad had seemingly disapeared, his woman didn't know where he
was and some strange lady was at his house... This definitely wasn't my kind of thing...I had to find out what was going on.

The House Sitter


The whole thing was my lawyer, Conrad's fault....I was at home watching the election returns..and happy as hell that Barack Obama won...I was drinking champaigne with this little cutey I met at Josie's Bar the other night named "Cinnamon" . We had some hot wings and some good cole slaw from the deli across the street and were just getting ready to really celebrate when my cell phone went off...I chose to ignore it..(I'm not prone to talkin when I'm entertaing the ladies, you know what I'm sayin?) But then my Blackberry went off. I excused myself and then went to my cell phone.

"Hello..." I answered ,not trying to hide how
aggravated I was."

"Sean...Sean..what's up?" came Conrad's voice.

"I was tryin to find out before you disturbed me."
I answered.

"Oh you have company?"asked Conrad

"Gee, I bet you were at the head of your class
in your school."I said.

"Well I hope you cleaned the place up before
your little cutey came over...wouldn't want
her to find any used condoms on the floor
like the last time." Conrad laughed.

Yes...The last time I" entertained" a young lady at my house...she freaked out because she found an unused condom on the floor near my kitchen sink and pushed me outside of my house in my birthday suit, then locked the door. I am one of maybe three African Americans living in a predominately white gated community...You can imagine what happened next...I got arrested
and I had to call my lawyer, Conrad..to spring me.

"Sean,I just need you to do me a
solid...I'm gonna be out of town
this weekend...and I need you to
watch my house for me...I'll leave
the keys to my Jag there for you
and as you know there is plenty of
food and liquor...just clean up after
you're done...okay?" asked Conrad

'Well sure....I'll be there Friday after
work." I said.

"You're the man homie." Said Conrad

I had watched his house many many times before ,so this was no thing...but it certainly gave me
an idea...a bit of unfinished business that I had to take care of. I work at the same magazine where Kevin Morris, the blogger and part time private eye works...(We kid him about his past two cases.) I'm a staff photographer...I've photographed a few of his features and even downloaded some on his blogs..We are great friends...There is a sexy little account exec named Sheila who works there..(That's the one that got me arrested) I've been trying to get next to her since she started working there...I never really got a chance to apologize to her about the "tell tale condom incident.." I had three days to get her to come over to Conrad's house and spend the weekend with me...I was going to start now..

"You comin to bed daddy
or not?" came Cinnamon's voice.

She had on a white bra with lavender pin stripes and white string bikini panties...She looked luscious, but I was thinking way past her now....but not that far.. I'm no fool.

"Coming baby." I laughed

Conrad was a pretty successful lawyer..We had known each other since I was a kid...He had represented my late Father, A Union rep..and he had kind of taken me under his wing..He didn't
charge me what he charged others (No way I could afford him) His home was incredible...Three
floors, a bath and a shower on two...A jacuzzi on the third floor...Flat Screen Monitors on every floor and in several rooms, all hooked up to cable or a computer...and Satelite radio feeds on every floor ,so you could hear a variety of music from all over the globe. He had a three car garage for all three of his vehicles..and a refrigerator full of food and a cellar full of wine and spirits. The dream bachelor pad. Conrad had a woman....but she didn't live with him...She was a
lawyer to and she lived in New Jersey...My guess is , he was spending the weekend with her. Her
name was Jill.

The next day at work...I had a dozen of white, red, pink and blue roses delivered to Sheila's office, with a perfumed note that said- "I'm sorry, call me or e-mail me....Sean." I knew that after all this time, she might not respond, so I sat back and I waited. I knew that all of the other women in the office would see the flowers and be ouuuing and ahhing and it would only be a matter of time before she had to at least respond. She did...I got a short e-mail that said -"Thanks for the flowers."...Sheila. The next day I stopped by her office with a Blueberry muffin, buttered the way she liked and her coffee, a mocha latte with light sugar..It was then that she engaged me-

"Sean, what do you want..?? Why
all of this attention all of a sudden.?" she asked.

"Now why when a brother is tryin to be nice
has there got to be somethin behind it?" I asked.

"Because I know you and I know how you roll."
she snapped.

"Look, I'm just trying to make it up to you, that's
all...We got off on the wrong foot the last time and
I-"

"You're trying to get me in the bed, that's what you're
doing and this way aint gonna work Sean Jackson."

"You're right Sheila...I am trying to get you in the bed
,because I thought it would have been one of the best
experiences of my life...but you freaked out because
you saw that condom on the floor...well so what? and who
cares? I'm a grown man..there are other women in my life
and you've had other men....I wasn't just sittin around
waiting for you to show up....but I would like for us to start
over again...clean...I'd like you to spend the weekend with
me."

Her mouth gaped wide open...not only was she not expecting me to tell her the truth , but she was not expecting me to be so bold..I could tell that she was floored.

"Sean Jackson, you're a trip, you just come
right out with yours, don't you?" she said

"That's me, straight no chaser" I laughed...

"Okay...against my better judgement
I'm gonna give you another chance..
we gonna start slow, but no funny stuff
and keep your place clean,okay?" she laughed.

"That's just it...We aren't going to my place..
I'm house sitting for my lawyer this weekend,
He has a really nice house out in Jenkintown
and since it's supposed to rain all weekend..
I figured we could watch a few movies, listen
to some music...drink a little wine an-"

"And sex me up, right?" she said.

"You makin this somethin it aint." I said.

"No I aint...and the only reason I'm going
along with this is because I haven't had a
date in six months and I could use the company,
so don't screw this up Sean." she said.

There was a lot of honesty going around today..I didn't expect to hear that...I had better go and get my things ready...this was going to be a heck of a weekend.

I Love You but....(I don't like you anymore)


Never Thought you'd be the one who changed me..
No,I never thought it would be you..
Never thought anything you could do would faze me..
Or make me go through the changes I went through./

/But you used to lie to me on a regular basis
(of course I knew..)
and like a masochist, I'd demand more..
You broke my heart ,still let me state this...
(I know you don't have a clue..)
I love you but......
I don't like you anymore.../

/They say if you ever truly love someone, that the love
never truly ends..
but you've always felt as though you were above me and
everyone else...
(didn't you?)
so sometimes it's hard for me to even see us as friends./

/You used to tell your girlfriends how you had such a little
fool...
(It's kool though...)
Never imagined that I was hip to the game...guess it's time
you went back to school...
(what? you don't think so?)
you only have yourself to blame...
(now let me drop this on you before I go..)

Pretty girl you used to lie to me on a regular basis..
you used to lie and you were unfaithful,
but let me state this...
I love you,
I still love you just like before...
I guess I'll always love you
but...
I don't like you anymore.

I love you
just as much as I ever did before..
I love you
but.....

I don't like you anymore.../

But For The Moon


/Saw you sitting there
with a white rose in your hair..
sharing more than a drink with him...
you were supposed to be at the gym.../

/I refuse to play your game of let's pretend..
I know that he is more than just a casual friend..
The private eye told me that you two meet here
everyday...
at a dark booth in this small cafe../

/But for the moon, I'd go out of mind
over you...
If it wasn't for the full moon...I'd go
out of my mind, cryin..over you./

/Your credit card bill says you two use the
same hotel..
it doesn't carry the stench of your lies
or the deceitful smell.../

/You look sweetly into my eyes
and angelically lie..
I've got the photos my sweet,
so kiss our relationship goodbye../

/But for the moon, I'd go out of my mind
over you..
But for the moon, I'd go out of my mind
over you../

/The moon is full, the summer night is hot...
I walk the streets, talking to myself nonstop..
I convince myself to just walk away, a fool...
but for the moon...
but for the moon.../

/You look sweetly in my eyes
and you angelicly lie..
I've got the photos my sweet
so kiss our relationship goodbye../

/But for the moon,
I'd go out of my mind..
over you..
I'd go out of my mind..
over you./
