Minay's Loft

I was enjoying a nice healthy salad and some Ice Tea at a Tony outdoor cafe on one of the last nice days of late summer , when Joanne ''Sepia"Morris, My friend, Kevin's wife just happened to be walking by...

"Wow Ralph...Didn't think I'd see you eating at a rival restaurant...Dollar Bill better not find out about this." she laughed.

''He won't...Unless you tell him." I said and raised an eyebrow... ''Besides..it's my day off..and I wanted to try the place..Test it out..." I said.

''Test it out? You've got a big date coming up." she laughed.

"I might....uh...I aint sayin it's big or nothin like all that..." I laughed.

"With who...You gotta tell me." laughed Sepia.

"Nah...I think I'll keep this under my hat..." I said.

"Hmmm, you've slept with my girlfriends...Bernadette, Bonita.....You slept with my cousin, Mabel...You've slept with Debbie...Let me guess...Cherry Johnson from Victoria's Secret??" she laughed.

"No I'm afraid not...but you are close...She does work there now.." I said.

"Minay?? Minay Jordan?" asked Sepia...

"Yeah....She moved into that new loft that Chris and Chess bought and fixed up....and I uh helped her move in." I said.

''And then you moved into her right?" laughed Sepia.

''Actually I haven't...I haven't so much as kissed her." I confessed.

"Whatttt? , This is a first for you Ralph." said Sepia...she was right..she knew my track record...

''Well I helped her move in and I went over there with some wine and we drank two bottles and talked and I left."I said.

''You didn't try nothin?  Not even a little kissy kiss?" asked Sepia.

''Nope...I wanted to...I was real tempted, but I couldn't...I mean, she's been through a lot..What with her fiance gettin murdered and all and moving here, gettin a job, gettin moved in....I didn't want to throw all of that on her..." I said.

Sepia felt my head....

"You don't have a fever....I guess you're alright ."she said.

"Just takin it slow...." I said..

''When are you seeing her again?" asked Sepia.

''Tonight...I'm taking some Wine over and perhaps we'll talk some more...I aint rushin nothin." I said.

"Wow Ralph...Good for you.....I'm proud of you." laughed Sepia while giving me a side eye...

I finished my salad....

II-

The building that Minay lived in didn't look like much on the outside...but inside...Chris and Chess and whoever they contracted to do the work had done a magnificent job...and I told Minay so when I arrived with
Two bottles of Wine..

''Wow , you've got a great place Minay." I said...

"Thanks...Glad you like it." she said.  "Not like it's the first time you've been up here." she laughed.

"Yeah, I know...but it's the first time since you fixed the place up...You did a great job...You need to come and fix up my place." I laughed.

"I didn't cook anything...Do you mind if we ordered some Chinese take out?" She laughed.

''Oh of course not. Chinese Bob makes the best ." I said and I dialed them up on my Android...She gave me her order and I gave them mine.  I pulled out two tumblers and filled them with ice...and poured the first bottle of wine..

By the time our food arrived , we had already killed a bottle and a half and were both a little tipsy...We devoured the good hot chinese food and polished off the wine over good conversation...She was great looking and Sepia's words were coming back to me...I did want to try something as Sepia said, but I wasn't sure if Minay was ready....When had that stopped me before?

"Wow...we sure polished off that food.." I laughed

''Yeah and the wine too.." she laughed uneasily...

"Anything on Television tonight?" I asked...

"They haven't come to hook my cable up yet." sighed Minay...

''Wow..." was all I could manage to say...

"Ralph?" asked Minay with that sexy English accent of hers...

''Yes?"I answered..

"You didn't come over here to eat take out with me and watch Television did you?" She asked in a strangely sensual voice..

I stood up....Maybe too fast...she could see the huge bulge in my pants...Which was a little embarrassing..but she was walking around in a slip like dress , showing those shapely legs of hers all afternoon and I had a raging erection that I had successfully hidden up until now...She smiled at me...I pulled her to me and began kissing her passionately...

Minay had been waiting to release her passion for a long time I suppose...she kissed me like I have never been kissed before...I lifted her up and palmed her buttocks, feeling her silky panties and rubbing her legs...


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ralph....Ohhhhhhh please...pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...take me...take meeee...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jesus take me..." she moaned...

I took her into the bedroom...she unzippered my pants  and just marveled at my largeness.....

"My..Myyyyyyyyyyyyyy...."she said with a big smile....I slowly took my shoes and socks off and my trousers...

She slipped her panties off and tossed them and ran into my arms....

Minay straddled me as I sat on the edge of her bed and lowered herself on top of me...She was incredibly wet...I liked that...

I grabbed her hips and began grinding into her with all I had...She began moving up and down and moaning...which made me even more excited....

"Ummm...." she moaned...

I entered her slowly , but deliberately...It wasn't long before I was laying flat on my back and Minay was on top ,riding me for all I was worth...

''Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh Rallllppppppppppppppph...I need you..I neeeeeeeeeeeeeed you..ohhhh my godddddddddddd....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.." she screamed...She was a loud lover!

She began licking my neck and sucking on it,which made me begin moving deeper and deeper into her warm and wet lusciousness....Minay was a wild lover...she kept moving up and down and then from side to side...The bed was rocking and slamming against the wall...The best thing was ...There was nobody next door to yell "quiet the noise"....unlike at my place.

Finally ,I was sitting upright and Minay was going up and down....moaning with delight as I continued to ram into her as hard and deliberate as I could...

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RALPH,DON'T STOP...Pleasseeeeeeeeee don't stop, give it to me, give it to me ..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she screamed....

I was so excited then that I shot off like a gusher !!!

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH..." I shouted with joy....

"Ohhh Ralph." said Minay as we just held each other and kissed .......

I followed her into her shower ....She led me by my penis, which began to get hard in no time, just by her touch and as hot steamy water rained down on both of us...I lifted her up and began to kiss her passionately again....I entered her once more and she held on for dear life....

We made love in that shower until the water got cold...We didn't care...Nor did we notice...Finally, Minay came and when she did...it was furiously....She reminded me of Lois....in that she came so hard she was embarrassed by it.....I still continued to pump her hard until finally I exploded.....


We held each other tightly and staggered out of that shower and got under her covers , wet and naked....We slept for maybe an hour...I awoke and entered Minay again....

''Oh my goodness Ralph...you're a bloody machine..ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.."she moaned as I made slow sweet love to Minay in the missionary position for close to two hours this time....This time, Minay came slowly and powerfully....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......." she moaned as I came myself......



III-

The next day, Minay and I walked into Bottom of the C together...She had her arms around my neck and was laughing....

Sepia was there with her husband, Kevin.....They were enjoying a meal as we came in......Kevin looked at us and smiled and continued cutting his New York Strip Steak...Sepia smiled as I walked by and whispered to me...

"Got them drawers didn't you?" she asked.

''Yeah." I said.

"I knew you would...That's the Ralph Scallion I know." she said and winked.

The Last Night

"MMMMMMMMMMMMMMuah...ohhhhhh, Hughhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhh." moaned  Millie....a cute little number I met in the Mermaid Club....We'd had a few drinks and scored some good weed and were in her car in Josie's parking lot kissing mad passionately....I had already slipped her panties down and had unhooked her bra and was getting ready to mount her....

"Uh...Uh...Nooooo...Not outside here like this." she said.

"Come on baby, don't leave me like this...come onnnn." I begged while still kissing her...

"Nooooo, we can't do that...stoppppp." she said...

She began stroking my penis gently and slowly and continuing to kiss me....I was rubbing her breasts softly and slowly also...We kept this up for a long while until finally I came like a gusher all over her front seat...

"Ouuuu, you come a lot.....like a gusher.." she said ,matter or factly.

I straightened my pants up...and my shirt...She slipped her panties back up, put her bra back on and repositioned her skirt....She fixed her blouse and her hair...She took several napkins out of her glove compartment and wiped the seat...she turned on the radio....

"Got anymore weed?" she asked..

"Nah, that was it." I said.

"You okay?" she said...

"Yeah,I'm straight." I said.

"I didn't want you to have blue balls...Guess I'll have to take a rain check on the sex." she said.

"I'm looking forward to that." I said in all sincerity.

We both got out the car and entered Josie's together...Reed Nelson and his band was playing tonight...The joint was jumping...especially since "88" , his original keyboardist was playing with them also.  It was a magical night...Downtown Rob Brown and Bone Hampton was setting in with them and the place was going crazy...People were clapping and drinks were flowing...

Millie bought the both of us drinks...From the corner of my eye I saw Meek Rollins and a woman I think was his girlfriend...I wasn't sure. Chris Thompson and his partner Chess was there...Chess was with his wife, Rell, who was pregnant again...I wish I could tell Chess that they were going to have a girl...I'd already met her..a beautiful soul...When you're dead, you get to meet those who are about to be born for a split second...

I saw another group of people I had recently met there too...Paris, Blake, Anita Jenkins, Cherish, Blake's Girl,Chance Howard, the young attorney and Delores, Rob Brown's girl and Debbie, Reed Nelson's girl...They were all having a great time...I couldn't know that this would be the last time I would be amongst them alive..They were so much fun, so electric!

II-


My android was ringing off the hook....It was Gypsy.....I didn't answer...I hated a woman that was too needy. It had only been a night....What could she possibly want?  Well it was obvious what she wanted...but I had already sampled her goods... Time to move on..

Then I saw that guy named Joe...He was here!!! Was he following me?? He stared at me....I stared back..He got up and walked away...I walked over to Gus who was tending bar and listening to the cool sounds of Reed Nelson and company...

"Hey Gus....Do you know who that guy is?" I said pointing at the guy named Joe who was now dancing with a hot young thing.

"That's Joe..Joe Shill..." he said.

"What's his story?" I asked.

"He's a high roller...He's slumming here of late....I heard he broke up with his chick and he's been kind of pissed about the breakup...Why do you ask?" he said.

"No reason...just seemed like he was staring at me..." I said.

"You? For what?  You don't know him do you?" asked Gus.

"Uh...No...Never seen him before." I said.

"Then don't worry about him...he's just a little loopy." said Gus.

"Yeah...you're right." I said. I paid for two drinks and I left.

Millie and I drank and danced and then returned to her car for a repeat of the make out session..I tried hard to get her to let me mount her, but she wouldn't...We wound up driving to her house.. We stopped first before we got there and bought a bottle of wine and some more weed.

III-

Within an hour the bottle was empty and we had smoked up all of the weed...I had Millie in her bed , naked and on all fours...with hands gripping the sheets and me pushing from behind with a steady thrusts...deeper and deeper.

"Oh it feels good... oh it feels so good. Ouuuuuu, Hugh....ouuuu" she moaned.

I was transported to another realm of being. The pleasure from this encounter with Millie was driving me crazy. She was panting, trying to slow my pace. Trying to hold onto this great feeling. I was so close to the edge of any reality,between the wine and the marijuana...it wasn't funny.

"My scream is building inside. I can feel it racing up through my throat. I can feel my heart racing faster faster faster. Ohhhhh faster, harder, ohhhh baby, ohhhhhhhhhhhh Hugh." She was moaning..

"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmph, so you're a poet!" I said as I thrusted into her sweet vagina even harder...

"I want you to slam into me with everything you have...harder...harder..ohhh."she said.. I obliged.

Her back was arched, Her nice round bottom was in the air

" I am losing my mind Hugh...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's soooooo damn gooood...ohhhhh........babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...darlinggggggggggggg...loverrrrrrrrrrrrr..ouuuuuuuuu." she cooed.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled as I exploded with a wild abandon.

"Oh Hugh, that was sooo good, she cooed.....If I had known it would be this good...I would have let you do me in the car or hell in front of my parents for that matter." said Millie...We both laughed...and just like that, Millie drifted off to sleep!...I couldn't believe it.

I pulled the cover over her naked body, I deposited my condom in her waste basket....I put my clothes on and let myself out....I felt good...I had drank some wine, had smoked some weed and had had three sexy women within three days...I felt great...I took a bus halfway across town and then decided to grab something to eat..

Mabel's joint was closed...It was 3:30 in the morning...I found an all night joint and had a Hot dog with loads of relish, mustard and ketchup and a Coke....Mmmmmm, I sure will miss that...Jake's Hot Dogs...The absolute best!

IV-

I was about a block from my house.....The street light on this block was out...It was very dark...My block had a crime stopper camera...This block had nothing....I turned the corner....

''Heyy..." came a voice.

"Huh?" I said.

"You think you can just throw people away ,like a used condom?"

''What?, What are you talking about?  In fact, how did you know where I live?" I said.

I didn't feel the first knife thrust that pierced my torso, near my abdomen....I wasn't even shocked as a gusher of blood poured out of me...In fact ,I laughed...

The second knife thrust pierced my chest....I felt that...I tried to turn and run....and then the final blow hit the side of my neck....That could have been the fatal blow....Blood poured out of my mouth.....My attacker, turned and walked away..

"You Black whore!" was the last thing I heard my attacker say...

Wow...Way to ruin a great night..uh morning...I stumbled all the way to my house..leaving a trail of blood...I fumbled with my keys and finally got inside...I locked the door...Didn't want my attacker coming back...
Whooo.....I fumbled with my phone...I think I called 911...I'm not sure...I was starting to get dizzy...I fell to the floor...Blood was running across my kitchen floor like an ocean...I began to get dizzy...I coughed up blood...I began to chuckle lightly.....

I felt no pain after awhile...I began to have a floating sensation...I felt like I was rising above everything...I could see my body lying in a pool of blood....but I felt no pain...I felt timeless, light as a feather..warm....That's how I knew that I was dead!

(Conclusion Next...)

Gypsy

The cops finally released my body.....It was amazing... I could actually see my lifeless corpse being loaded on a stretcher and put into a dark EMT van and whisked away to the medical examiner's office..

I could see , but not feel the cold table they laid my body on and watch them cut me open, examine my organs and take photographs....I knew they would find that I had a considerable amount of alcohol in my system at the time of death...beer, several margaritas, vodka, hell and a considerable amount of marijuana too!  I was as high as a kite when I left Josie's that night...but my night began way before that!...

"I still can't get over the fact that there was no murder weapon Lieu." said a detective to that foxy Lieutenant  Sissy Van Buren....

"All of the dishes and utensils were checked?" she asked.

"Yeah...the perps prints and DNA are on everything , but no one elses...We had guys out doin a door to door...Only one person says that they heard anything...Two people talking loudly and then some running..around 3:30 in the morning." he said.

Which is about right...That's when I was stabbed!

"We checked the crime stopper camera we have set up on the block...It shows Benet stumbling, holding his stomach and fumbling with his keys...going up the steps....into his house..." said another detective.

''So whoever stabbed him, stabbed him before he turned the corner and thus ,out of the camera's range.....damn!" she said.

"Yeah...Somebody must have followed him..." said another uniformed cop who was at the scene.

"We know he was at Josie's...We know that was the last place he was...That's 11 blocks from where he lives..He couldn't have possibly walked that distance in the shape he was in." she mused.

"Lieutenant...Sure he coulda..He was drunk and half stoned out of his mind....He probably was tryin to clear his head..." said another detective.

"And you know this because?" She said with a sexy hint of a grin.

"Many nights like his." said the detective as his partner cracked up laughing.

"Hmmmmm I see." she laughed good naturedly.

"He probably was so blitzed, he didn't feel much pain when he got stabbed or shock..He never knew how serious his wounds were." said the detective which was right on the money...I practically laughed in my assailant's face.

"Get some guys over to Josie's, talk to Gus, Honey Brown, Eddie, Albert, the whole gang...find out if you can talk to anyone who might have been there, who might have seen Hugh Benet there." she said.

"Okay Lieu, we on it." said the two detectives as they rushed out.

She sure was sexy..She looked at the coroner and then asked him-

''Well?"

"Well what?  I put the time of death at around 4:00 am...Sunday Morning...It is now Tuesday...He was stabbed in the abdomen..and once in the chest....the third one is in the side of the neck....That's the fatal one, that's the one that killed him...From the way the knife was weilded...I'd say the killer was shorter than him and left handed.." said the coroner..

''Everybody wants to be a detective." she laughed...

"Yeah, I thought about it when I was a few years younger...This is as close as I got...Wish I could tell you just who your killer was." said the Coroner.

"Yeah, I wish you could too!" she mused.

II-

Like I said...My "night" began long before this...Meek Rollins paid me for engineering a recording session for him...He had been producing a new musician...We were in the studio 48 hours straight...I had been smoking weed with Meek and Bone Hampton the entire time and knocking back shots...When we finally broke..Meek peeled off a couple of dollars and paid me...


"I shouldn't even give you this...you're just gonna piss it away." he laughed.

"Nah...I did that here for free..." I laughed..."I'm goin and get something to eat." I said and I was out of the studio door...I saw a figure duck behind the wall or at least I thought I did...Was it that creepy guy Joe?  I didn't know and I didn't care..

I went to an afterhours joint and had a Hot Suasage with mustard, ketchup and relish..some French fries and a coke to wash it down...Now that I had finished eating...I was still not ready to crash...Funny, I've got all the time in the world now....I was horny...When was I not...So I called a girl up named Gypsy...Gypsy was a black girl I met in Josies of all places...I bought her a couple of drinks one night and then we left and copped some good weed from the projects and then had some more drinks at The Mermaid club...We caught another cab and went to her place....We kissed passionately in her doorway...I kept trying to force my way inside, but she kept giggling and saying "No...not tonight...next time....some of my ex boyfriend's friends might see us...he real jealous.." she said.

"This time of morning...who's going to see us? Come on...don't leave me like this..come on now..." I begged.

"Nooo...they'll be another time..." she giggled and continued kissing me..I pulled her hand over towards my now bulging erection...at first she tried to pull it back, but then her hand rested on it...

''Oh my lawdddd...it's huge." she said.

I pulled my zipper down and let it all hang out...Her eyes got even wider...

"Whooooeeee.." she said..She rubbed it a little bit...Then she looked around...

''Okay, come inside..but be quiet.." she said as I slipped inside....She closed the door quietly and we walked upstairs to her bedroom....There was clothes strewn everywhere..She pushed them off of the bed and grabbed something out of the drawer...

"Get comfortable...I'll be right back." she said and she slipped into the bathroom....I was a little amused at her modesty, considering we were both alone and about to have sex..

She returned in a leopard print nightie with pink lace around the sides of it...She was a cute little chocolate girl with a sexy body....I wasted no time easing her on the bed and kissing her..She matched my kisses and was slowly rubbing my penis up and down furiously...I had to grab her hands and slow her down a bit...I slipped on a condom and slowly slid into her....she screamed..

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........."

I began thrusting slowly at first , then rapidly and she began moving under me ,matching my moves..

"OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU babyyyyyyy.....ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....
this feels greatttttttttt...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." she cooed as I continued stroking her like that for close to an hour...I pulled out, turned her over and began entering her doggie style.....

"OH MY GOSH...OH MY GOSH....OHHHH I'm coming....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M COMING...
OHHHHHHHHH DOn'T STOP, PLEASEEEE Don't stoppppp..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she screamed as she was indeed shaking and vibrating with wild abandon.....but I wasn't close to being finished...
I rolled over and allowed her to sit on top of me...and ride me....while I softly stroked her breasts....

"OH MY GOSH...OH MY GOSH....OHHHH I'm coming....OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M COMING...
OHHHHHHHHH DOn'T STOP, PLEASEEEE Don't stoppppp..ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."

We went on like that for close to an hour more before I exploded!!!!

I was now tired...I was ready to go...Only Gypsy wasn't!!! She grabbed my hand...

''What?  you leavin?" she asked.

"Well yeah...aren't you tired?" I asked.

"Not after the way you made me come...I have NEVER come that hard....I want more!" she said forcefully!

''Some other time babe...I gotta go." I said..

She wouldn't take no for an answer..She began stroking my penis softly...which was all it took for it to begin inflating again...

''See...I knew you'd be ready..." she laughed...

We wound up doing it close to seven more times........

I was dead tired, but Gypsy took me into her mouth and began going to town...Monica Lewinsky style, if you know what I mean...

Before long, I had her stretched across the bed and was ramming her doggie style.....going to town!

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...I'M COMING SO
HARRRRDDDDDDDDDDDD...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..." she moaned as she began to shake violently.....finally, she collapsed on her bed.....

"Ouuu...I needed that sooo bad" she said and she gave me a long passionate kiss.

"That's so you'll come back." she said.

I put my clothes on...I had stayed wayy longer than I had planned...It was now about ten oclock in the morning.

I stumbled out of her house into the now crowded streets and caught a bus!

III-

I did go home and sleep for close to ten hours....When I awoke my cell phone was ringing...It was Gypsy...I didn't answer...What was she calling me for?  Hadn't I just banged her little brains out all night?

I took a shower, shaved, through on some cologne and some clean clothes and went to Mabel Jenkin's spot.
Mabel fixed me some Buttermilk Pancakes, Hash Browns and Country Maple Ham....I woofed it down and then headed for a bus...My phone was ringing again...It was Gypsy..I had no intention of talking to her...Not today.

I headed toward The shopping center when I saw that creepy guy named Joe ,who had been Valerie's date the night before...I looked right at him and he smiled...a sinister kind of knowing smile...I turned and walked the other way.

                                                               
(To Be Continued....)

The Mysterious Death of Hugh Benet'

My name is Hugh Benet' ... I am new to Philadelphia.  Well Kind of sort of....My mother was a Philadelphia native...She was born and raised here....She studied Art History at Howard University and then took a sojourn to France... That's where she worked and studied and met and fell in love with my dad...Francois Benet'.

I guess I should mention that my mom was an African-American and my Dad was a white French born citizen. They fell in love and they married..  36 years ago.  1 year after they were married...I was born.  I was born in New York City of all places...My parents had moved from France to New York...I grew up and attended New York public schools in Queens...I spent summers here in Philly at my grandparents house...Finally...I wound up attending St. Johns University.. By the time I graduated my parents had unfortunately busted up...Even in these days and times...an inter-racial marriage was a hard thing to maintain in
so called "post racial America"

I'm bi-racial...but I've always mostly identified with the Blacks...Partly because I had no choice.I was always treated as though I was Black...by both Blacks and Whites.  I went to Paris and lived with my dad for awhile.. Then I lived and worked in London. I'm a Sound Engineer.

A Philadelphia musician/studio owner named Bone Hampton offered me a job on a recomendation of Producer, Meek Rollins and Jazz trumpeter , Reed Nelson at his new recording studio in Philadelphia and I accepted it and came to Philly from London and took the job...I recorded ,Reed Nelson, "88", Ingrid Rhodes,Downtown Rob Brown, Symphony Sam and all the hip Philly musicians.. I hung out with these guys at this spot called Josie's...and at Bottom of the Sea, The Mermaid Club and Mulberry Street.. Ate the great cooking of Ralph Scallion and Miz Mabel Jenkins and her fine sisters....Even gambled a little bit at Chess and Chris Thompson's floating crap game...I loved it here...and the women!!! Man oh man oh man...That's what I'll miss the most...I was getting laid practically every other day here...

Yeah...I'll miss that the most...sex... I guess I should tell you right now...that I'm dead...That I've been dead about ...oh 24 hours your time....I'm lying in a pool of blood in my kitchen in the house I rented only a few weeks ago...I was stabbed three times....I was 36 years old!

When you're dead..let me tell you....Human time means nothing....It's been about 24 hours your time..To me, it feels like only a few minutes ago...really..Time doesn't exist where I am... My android phone has been ringing off the hook...Bone Hampton, Reed Nelson, Rob Brown...Gus, the bartender at Josie's..my favorite spot...Never knew he cared...Always seemed like a grouch to me..Ya never know until you're dead...

II-

Somebody will find me eventually...Hopefully they'll find my killer....I keep wondering what I did to drive my killer to stab me outside my house three times after I left the bar...Guess it all goes back about three weeks ago at that party I was at.

Mr. Rollie Rollerson...A very wealthy black man was having a pre-engagement party at his home. He hired Downtown Rob Brown and his band to perform....Live.  Rob asked me and three other guys to work the mikes and the sound for his performance..It was extra money, so of course I readily agreed...
There was a very sexy woman there...Well actually...many very sexy women....This one in particular was with a guy....He was very much into the music...He left her and was sitting up front listening to Downtown Rob Brown and his quintet getting down....At first I thought it was my imagination...but I caught her giving me the eye...I tried to look away...but I kept turning around and she kept smiling at me...Finally, I winked at her and she winked at me...It was on!

After Rob's set...It seemed more people crowded into the huge ballroom....I poured myself a drink...The woman, who was very shapely and wearing a very tight purple dress that seemed to hug every voluptuous curve walked over to me....and smiled again...I smiled at her and poured her a drink.

"How do you know if that's what I want?" she asked playfully.

"I don't...I'm just assuming." I said.

''Sometimes it's good to assume." she laughed and took the drink.

"My name's Hugh..Hugh Benet' " I said.

''You mixed with something?" she asked.

"I'm part Black, part French." I said.

"Guess you get asked that all the time." she said.

"Well yeah...but it's usually not a conversation starter." I laughed and continued to drink. She ran her hands slowly down the side of my pants...then even slower up the front...before she hit paydirt , I removed her hand and smiled.

"Aren't you here with someone?" I laughed.

"Am I?  I was driven here by someone....You seen him?" she smirked.

''Why no I haven't." I said with a sly grin...

"I suppose I could drive you home if you like." I said.

"There's a lot I suppose you could do......and uh, driving me home isn't even close." she said with a wink and began walking up the stairs to the coat room..

III-

It just occured to me that I didn't even know this woman's name and here I was following her upstairs into the huge coat room.  It was actually a huge bedroom where all of the coats of Rollerson's guests were...

I stood up, walked over to the bedroom or coat room, whatever you want to call it door. And after making sure that no one was outside, I closed the door behind us, and locked it.

I walked back over to the bed, where this sexy woman was now lying down. As I knelt above her, she looked up at me, and I saw the first hint of vulnerability in her eyes. Her confident, almost cocky demeanor had melted away, and all that remained was this beautiful, submissive creature waiting for me to do whatever I pleased with her and boy was I willing and able.

I reached down and slowly parted her knees. Her legs felt like satin, as I ran my hands up and down her thighs, pushing her tight purple dress up to just below her waist. As she raised her hips, inching her dress up further, I could see the tiniest hint of pubic hair through her black lace panties.

“This is going to feel really really good…but we gotta be quiet ,don’t make a sound” I said, forcefully. She nodded, and smiled. "This is making me more excited..just knowing we might get caught." she said. I kissed the insides of her thighs, slowly making my way to her beautiful moist vagina.

I pulled her panties to the side, and with my tongue, took one long stroke, parting her lips. Then another. From side to side, I licked, and teased her, until I could feel her silently begging me to put my tongue inside her.

"Ohhhhh put it in...put it in....stop playing...ohhhhhhhhhhhh." she moaned

I parted her lips with my fingers, and gently darted my tongue in and out of her. At this point, she reached up and grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it.

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, good GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!.." she screamed as I shussed her.

I felt her moans reverberate throughout her body, as I pressed my mouth firmly against her. As her torso began to stiffen, and her thighs tightened around my head, I could tell she was about to come. I pushed her legs back, and tongued her clitoris, coaxing her into a writhing orgasm.

"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...OUUUU." she moaned with pleasure.

As she lay breathless on the bed, I unzipped my pants. My penis had been hard from the second I sat on the bed with her.Hell , from the second I laid eyes on her downstairs.. I quickly fumbled for my wallet, grabbed a condom that luckily I had stashed in there from just a few days before.

“Turn over,” I commanded. “I want to see that sweet brown bottom of yours.”I said.

"Ouuuuu, I love it when you talk to me like that." she cooed.

She rolled over on her stomach, and arched her butt up in the air. It was as beautiful as I’d imagined, soft and smooth, ready and waiting. I pressed the head of my pulsing penis into her dripping wet moistness, then pulled out again.

I entered her several more times like this, until I could feel her pushing harder and harder against me. I grabbed her hips, and pushed all the way into her. She gasped, as she jerked forward for a moment, then braced herself before thrusting her bottom back against my bulging penis.

I watched, as each thrust sent waves rippling up her cheeks like waves breaking on the shore. As our skin slapped loudly against each other’s, and the fact that there were people a couple of rooms away was now more of a turn-on than a distraction.


She obviously felt the same, as her moans gradually became louder and louder. I grabbed her hair from behind, and pushed her head into the pillow. Her arms reached for the headboard and gripped it tightly as her body contracted in orgasmic release.

Feeling myself about to explode at any minute, I thrust harder and harder into her welcoming flesh. I felt the condom expanding as I exploded into it. The orgasm felt like it lasted several minutes, even though it was just seconds. I collapsed on top of her, kissing the nape of her neck.

“Whoooooeeee.” she said breathlessly. "I wasn’t expecting this kind of a party!” We both laughed.

''What is your name by the way?" I asked... We both laughed...

"It's Valarie...Valarie Brown." she said.

She gazed up at me, taking a more serious tone. “Well…I guess you don’t have to go to sleep sexually frustrated tonight.”

"What makes you think I ever go to bed sexually frustrated?" I laughed.

"You're a sound engineer...It's not like you're the bass player or the drummer " she said and then busted out laughing.

“ Well , you got a point, but I get mine. And yeah…something tells me I'll have sweet dreams tonight," I said, with a smile.

"I will too." she said. She pulled her panties up..straightened her hair up the best she could and then said-

"Let me leave first and then you follow about five or ten minutes later so it doesn't look suspicious." she said.

"Yeah, that's a good idea.' I said.

IV-

The reason why I bring that up is because even though I never saw Valerie again...I did see the man that was with her that night...His name was Joe.  I saw him in Josies a few nights later....He was staring at me the entire time...So much so that it was a little off putting.  Reed Nelson and Downtown Rob Brown left with me that night. I was so drunk they didn't trust me to drive the short way home, so they drove me.

I saw him again two nights after that at Mulberry Street, the outdoor , rooftop club that we often frequented...I was with Meek Rollins, Bone Hampton, and a big guy they introduced me to named Kool Kat.
The same guy, Joe was there too, staring at me...Again, I was as drunk as I could be.  The big guy,Kool Kat dropped me off at my home...

The third time I run into this guy Joe was at Chess and Chris Thompson's floating crap game.. I won big that night...The big guy,Kool Kat and their friend Donald Smooth drove me home...With the kind of money I was holding...Chris Thompson said I'd be a mark for anybody..I took their advice.

But on the last night of my earthly life at Josie's and at Mulberry street...There was no sign of this guy...But I ran into somebody...somebody who stabbed me three times and left me for dead in my house....They had to pay...I had a lot more living to do.

Sex, Clues & Chinese Takeout!

Sepia rolled over, smiled at me and then crawled on top of me...Her flimsy nightie was wide open...I pulled her close to me and took one of her breasts in my mouth, licking it softly...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...ouuuuuuuuu, Kevin, that feels soooo good.." she moaned..

She lifted herself up and gently lowered herself on my already bulging manhood....We both moaned loudly as she began moving up and down, first slowly , then next, really slow...

The light of the sun's rays was gently sifting through the window across her back as she sat astride me and confidently rode me intimately... I softly grabbed her hips and began to slowly grind inside of Sepia with every rise and fall of her...

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu baby, that feeels sooooo...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned...

I arched my back a little..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby!..." I found myself moaning....

Finnally, neither one of us could take it any longer...I exploded with a fury and Sepia began shaking and moaning....

''Ouuuuuuuuuuu.." she said with a look of pure ecstacy on her face...She collapsed on top of me and lay there sweating for a minute before she rolled off of me and lay beside me...

"Still no luck in finding that boy?" she asked.

"Nah....Nobody knows nothing...I can't believe it...Sepia...That kid had a little money, no doubt, but not enough to live off of....He's either here ,holed up with some girl or he's dead...but no way he got out of town that quick.....I wanted to ask his friend...but he's dead...There's got to be somebody else." I said.

"Yeah...it probably is...but they aren't talking...Least not to you." said my wife somberly as we both drifted off to sleep...

II-

A few hours later...I was driving towards my office...I had to stop in and check on a few things...I had driven Sepia to her job....I decided I could no longer neglect my real job at the magazine for this dead end case....

I worked for about five hours...Then I told Harry Charles to take my calls and I left..Just as I was leaving, my android vibrated.. It was Clerow!!

"Hey Clerow..What's up?" I said.

"Hey Boss...I got somebody you might be interested intalking to...Concernin that boy!!!  A girl here claims she talked to him...Meet me at Chinese Bob's ..." he said.

Wow! Three weeks and nothing and finally, something?? I guess Gus was still right..No matter what you do out in the street..Somebody somewhere knows about it and sooner or later they will talk!

I drove over to Chinese Bob's..A chinese takeout joint... Since I was there..I ordered some General Tso's Chicken and an eggroll..Clerow and the young lady, a 19 year old Black woman were already sitting in a booth eating lunch...So I joined them.

"Kevin, this is Rachel...Rachel Jefferson...Me and Gus overheard her talking to her girlfriends in Josie's last night about Evan and Tyquan...We suggested she talk to you."
he said.

"Good Lookin out Clerow." I said.   "Ms. Jefferson?" I said as I turned to the young lady who had quite a healthy appetite..She was eating chicken wings an eggroll and some noodles.

"Hey look, I was just tellin my girlfriend Tawanna how sad it was that Evan was missin and now Tyquan was dead..It was just too much....I mean I saw Evan the day after the shootings.." she said.

"What? You saw him??" I asked.

"Yeah...He called me....He always called me late at night...you know!! I was kind of like his steady booty call...but this time..it was different...It wasn't the same thing...He was scared..He was in trouble.." she said.

"Yeah...I kind of saw the build up to that in Josies..." I said.

"He really loved Jada...and he couldn't get over the fact that she was dealing with Fruit Loops....I told him that she was just a gold digga, but he couldn't let it go...and Fruit Loops wasn't nobody to mess wit..He carried a gun..I told Evan that...but he went over Jada's house..with Tyquan. and they got into a big argument...He said that Fruit and his boys fired on him and Quan first...but anyway...He finished it..Him and Quan shot all four of them." she said.

"He told you that?" I asked.

"Yeah, he said he had to get out of town..He said that he had an aunt who was someone bigwig with the city...He called her told her he was in trouble and she said that she would send somebody to get him!" said Rachel.

"Really? "I said.

"Yeah..He called her from my house....He lied and told her that he was at a payphone..He gave me some money..about a hunnard, kissed me and then he walked over to that phone booth over there.Across the street from here." she said and pointed.

"Then what?" I asked..

"A Black car drove up...It was a city car...It had the seal on the side." she said.

"Oh yeah?" I asked.

"Yeah...I couldn't see who was drivin or if anyone else was in the car, but he got in and pulled off.." she said.

"And that was two weeks ago right?" I asked.

"Yupper! and I aint heard from or seen him since...I tried callin his cell, but it's been disconnected." she said...

"Ohhh.." I said.

I peeled off some bills and passed them to her and Clerow...

"This should re-imburse you for your meal." I said.

"Gee Thanks." she said.

"Thanks Boss." laughed Clerow.

I hurried to Robert Foxworth's office.


III-

Robert Foxworth and Chance Howard's man in records had a friend in Telephone security who verified Rachel's story...a call was made to City Councilwoman Mona
Jenkins home at exactly the time she said and from her house...  Then another call was made to Evan Lawson's cell phone , exactly twenty minutes later....Another call was made to another number right after that call...Sometime afterwords a car picked up Evan and that was the last time he was seen alive or period for that matter.

Mona Jenkins had lied to me...She had heard from her nephew...She had probably spirited him out of town I reasoned... Robert's man in records even gave me the name of Councilwoman Jenkins's young aide and the licensce plate of her personal city car.

My next stop was to the city fleet to find the car..

"I'm sorry pal..Her car isn't here." said the attendent.

"Yeah, she probably has it..." I said.

"No...It was reported stolen about two weeks ago..She has another car now." he said.

"What is her drivers name?" I asked.

"Thomas Crown." he said.

"Where can I find him?" I asked.

"I'm surprised he isn't here today..He's supposed to be workin." said the attendent.

"That's okay babe, thanks." I said.

I put in calls to Peeping Tom, Lockpick Johnson and Sean Jackson.. My scope team..I wanted them to put an eye on Councilwoman Mona Jenkins...


This case had taken a whole nother twist!

Ouuuuu babyyyy...
Kissing and squeezing you ....
Holding you tight....
"Ohhhhhhhhh

unbothered by the madness of the outside...
Just you and I....
Here and now..
Soulmates for the moment...
Soulmates for the time being...

Still Might Be.....(In Love with You)

My name is Meek Rollins....I'm a record producer.....I produce real music...none of this hip hop, sampled mess that accounts for most of your popular music now of days...No..I produce real musicians ...real singers, real compositions.....Ask Reed Nelson, Downtown Rob Brown, Ingrid Rhodes, Symphony Sam, Bone Hampton....just a few of the local Philly jazz cats that I've produced.... I make pretty good money....They trust me, because they know that I know my stuff in the studio...

I put the right musician with the right composition, the right arranger and the right sidemen and engineers....If only I could manage my personal life as well as I've managed my working career...

Yolanda Prentiss!!  A hot young singer I'd produced last year....I cut a couple of tracks for her last CD and cut a swath through her bedroom too... Took her to the islands for a Christmas vacation with Reed Nelson and his girl Debbie... After we returned to Philly, I found out that she was pregnant...It had to be mine....The way I was waxing that...well uh okay, you get the point...

Chump and coward that I was....I straight vanished...Went to New York City for a spell and took a few recording gigs there.....I was gone about seven months....She had a baby girl....I knew it was mine....I felt bad...Tried to drown my guilt in liquor......I ran into Ralph Scallion one night at the Bottom of the C, where he works as a Top Chef...
He told me about how he discovered he had a 21 year old daughter....The result of a summer fling in Atlantic City with a cocktail waitress some years ago...He told me how he was just getting to know her and how he had missed so much of her life, because he hadn't known of hewr existence.....I felt like a heel.

Next day...I found Yolanda....I paid all of my back child support to her on the spot and began visiting her twice and sometimes three times a week...To see my child.  It took me a while before Yolanda trusted me and allowed me to stay longer on those visits....

Which brings me to tonight... Yolanda and I are enjoying a night out at Mulberry Street,Philly's upscale outdoor ,rooftop bistro... It was the first time we had been on a date since we'd been in the islands with Reed and Debbie....That seemed like an eternity ago...

"Wow...this wine is making my head spin Meek.." said Yolanda...

"Yeah me too...I think I'm going to stop drinkin tonight." I said.

"Oh just for tonight?" she said and laughed...and then winked...

''Well uh yeah...I'm driving , you don't want me to be drunk do you? " I laughed..

"No, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind ME getting drunk, would you?" she said and gave me the side eye.

We both laughed, and then I took her hand in mine and smiled....

"I know you been sniffin around me the past two months for a reason Meek, payin child support, coming around to talk and now taking me out to dinner...I'm not stupid." she said.

"Yolanda...I would hope that you would think differently of me...If I was just trying to sleep with you ,I would have tried a lot sooner....No...I felt bad about not knowing who my daughter was, not contributing...I'm not a complete heel..and even if we don't get together...I still want to be part of my daughter's life...Not just a child support check." I found myself saying...

"Are you serious Meek?" she said.

"Yeah, I'm very serious about that. Look I ran into Ralph Scallion one night at the Bottom of the C, where he works as a Top Chef...He told me about how he discovered he had a 21 year old daughter....The result of a summer fling in Atlantic City with a cocktail waitress some years ago...He told me how he was just getting to know her and how he had missed so much of her life, because he hadn't known of hewr existence.....I felt like a heel. " I said.

"Ohh woww..really?  I've met his daughter...she works with him at Bottom of The C." said Yolanda..

"Yeah...I saw her...Nice girl...He thought he had one on the way...but he and Kevin went to Patterson and found out that that kid wasn't his..." I said.

"Incredible...It's a wonder...Ralph been with so many girls.." laughed Yolanda...

"Well, tonight...with that bein said and all...I want to be with one....You! " I said and looked her straight in the eyes...

"CHECK PLEASE" we both found ourselves saying...

II-

We arrived at my house shortly afterwords...Our daughter was being watched by Meek's girlfriend, Debbie...

''Ummmmm, nice place you got here." said Yolanda...

It was then that I realized that in all we had done...All the time we had spent together...She had never once been to my place...

"It's aightt!" I said with a smile....

She was wearing a bright white sundress...I took my shirt off immediately and stepped out of my sandals and embraced her tightly...giving her a long hard and wet kiss....She didn't fight me...She returned my kiss and we fell up against my bedroom wall....

"Ummmmmmmmm, ohhhhhh Meeeeek...Meeeeeeeeeeeeeek..." she moaned...

"Ohhhhhhh Yolanda...I've missed you so muchhhhhhhhhhhh...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." I found myself saying...

I lifted the sundress up over her head...She was wearing purple lace bikini panties and a matching purple laced bra...I loved a woman that co-ordinated...  She unzippered my trousers and slipped my boxers down...

"Ohhhh myyyyyyyyy Meek...I guess you really did miss mama!" she said and took my raging erection in both of her hands and began massaging it.....I hurried up and stepped out of my trousers...(I was so glad it was summer) and slipped her panties down and unhooked her bra....

"Damn" I said..as those huge breasts of hers popped out or at least seemed to...She giggled...

I lifted her up and layed her across the bed....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." she squealed as I entered her and hungrily began sucking on her breast at the same time...

"OHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.." she moaned....

I stroked her hard and deeply and primal for close to two hours....You could look at her face and see that she was on the verge of either total madness or incredible ecstacy or both!.....

"OHHHHHHHHH Meek, good lawd....lay that pipe...lay that pipe daddy.ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, sweet lawdddd..." she moaned as I continuedto move seemingly deeper and deeper inside of her...grunting lightly and sweating profusely....

My sweat was running down into her face and she was almost slobbering....and moaning like a cat in heat...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...Meeek...Meeeek..,lay that pipeeeee.."

I eventually spread her facedown across the bed and entered her doggy style...She sounded like she was about to go mad...then......and so did I....It felt like minutes...but it was actually another hour and a half...before we came up for air... Still kissing passionately....She looked at my still rock hard penis and decried-

"You didn't come yet?"

"No...I didn't..I'm savoring the moment." I said...nearly out of breath....

''Well I've come several times..." she said...which was news to me....

She lowered herself down on me and began to move up and down slowly and rapidly....It felt really good...we continued kissing....She was moving faster now....I could no longer take it and I exploded....She leaped up off of me , when she felt me getting to that point and a gusher splashed everywhere....

She used her hands to gently massage me as I tried to calm down...but this only served to keep me hard and make me ready for round two after a half hour of this....I climbed back on top of her and we went at it again...

"Oh Meek...are you on Cialis or something?" she asked.

"No.." I said...

III-

We made love again and slept until around 9:30 the next morning.... We showered, got dressed and I drove her to IHOP where we had breakfast......We were both silent at first...We were wondering if last night was just last night and that was it...

"So can we do this again sometime soon?" I asked.

"You mean you want to?" she asked.

"Yes...I'll be by tomorrow to take the baby to the park and I figured ,if you wasn't doin nothing, we might have dinner,then head over to Josies for drinks...I think a new act is performing tomorrow night." I said.

Yolanda smiled-

"Yeah Meek...I'd like that a lot." she said.
