Chapter 9
Taxi To Runway Love
"OH MY GOD!" London exclaimed upon laying eyes on Raven and Chelsea for the first time since returning home. "Chelsea, look at you! You look amazing!" London said as she embraced the beautiful redhead.
"Amazing doesn't come close to describing you! Life has been good to you!" Chelsea responded.
"Hey! You wanna stop flirting with my wife! I am here, you know!" Raven said.
"Pregnant women are so hot." London said. She then glanced at Chelsea as she approached Raven. "How do you keep your hands off her Chels?"
"I don't." Chelsea deadpanned then smirked.
"She is so nasty." Raven said as she embraced London warmly and held it for a moment. London was good friends with both of them but had a special connection with Raven, a diva-to-diva connection that had more to do with attitude than money. "How's my L.T.?" Raven said in a warm, soft voice.
"Now who's flirting?" Chelsea said with mock jealousy. "It's a good thing I knocked you up."
Raven and London broke their embrace wiping away tears that had formed. "Actually, a turkey baster knocked me up. Same one they used on you, sweetie." Raven said sarcastically.
"Does the phrase, 'Too much information' mean anything to you two?" London asked in playful disdain.
"Well…" Raven said. "Two women, married to each other, one pregnant…" Raven looked down and playfully tried to move her pregnant belly out of the way. "I can't see Chels… Do I have a dick?"
Chelsea cocked her head to one side and looked at Raven's groin. "No you don't."
"Do you have a dick, Chels?" Raven asked.
"Lemme check." Chelsea said before looking down at herself and reaching down for a feel. "No. I have a vagina… standard issue."
"See London. Neither one of us has a dick, therefore, a turkey baster was needed, therefore, my comment was warranted. Thank you very much and goodnight." Raven said.
London shook her head and laughed. "God I missed you two!" She said before grabbing both of them for a group hug. "How are you feeling?" She asked Raven.
"Not bad for somebody that has a basketball for a stomach." Raven shot back. "And I haven't stopped growing."
"And I love every gorgeous inch of you." Chelsea said.
"Chels, you don't have to flatter me. I told you I was gonna give you some tonight." Raven said softly.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!" London said. "Innocent ears here!"
"Innocent my ass!" Chelsea piped in. "Rae told me about you and what you want to do to Maddie."
"What did she tell you?" London said looking incredulously at Raven.
"Nothing." Chelsea said matter-of-factly to London then turned to Raven. "You were right, Rae. She's had some NASTY thoughts about her!" Chelsea and Raven started giggling.
Raven started to talk as she continued laughing. "We're just playing, babe. By the end of tonight, Maddie will be eating out of the palm of your hand."
"Or just eating you out." Chelsea cracked. London visibly shifted at Chelsea's comment. "Oh, damn! I didn't know it was that bad."
"You don't know the half." London deadpanned.
"Where's my phone?" Raven asked.
"In your purse where it always is." Chelsea said.
"No it's not!" Raven said.
"Did you look?" Chelsea asked.
"Yes." Raven said with a sheepish look.
"Gimme your purse." Chelsea said. Raven handed it over and after about ten seconds of rambling, she pulled Raven's phone out.
"Thank you baby." Raven said.
"Wow! You two ARE married." London said.
Raven smiled as she dialed. "Hey Alex, it's Rae… Yeah… Are you gonna be there tonight?… Cool. Remember what you did for me and Chels that one time at Vibes?… Yeah… can you hook two of my friends up?… Yes, two girls. They want each other but need a push." London's heart beat faster when she heard Raven's last sentence. "We're going to dinner and then… It is? Great!… Ten o'clock works. Thank you boy!… I love you too… I will… Bye." Raven snaps her phone shut. "So let it be written, so let it be done."
"Maddie… wants me?" London asked with a starry-eyed look.
"Not my place to say. It's up to her." Raven said. "But if I were you, I'd start learning to moan her name if I were you."
"Look at her eyes." Chelsea said. "She already knows how."
"So…" London clears her throat. "What's the plan?"
"Can you dance?" Raven asked.
"Yeah." London said.
"It's like Shakira said… hips don't lie." Raven said. "Just shake your moneymaker and let nature run it's course." Raven then peered around London's body at her backside. "Yeah. With all that stuffin' on your Egg McMuffin, Maddie's as good as yours."
London chuckled. "Let's get y'all to the hotel."
"I wanna go see Maddie first." Chelsea said.
"She's at work. She's been there all night." London said.
"Then she could use a little pick me up from The Sunshine Girls!" Raven exclaimed before wheeling around to Chelsea. "One crack about me, that outfit and bananas and you can forget about… uh… you know."
Chelsea leaned over to London and whispered, "That's So Raven."
The three of them walked out the garage and hopped in London's car, headed for Maddie's office. Raven told London about her friend Alex, a former college football player and bouncer she met in a video store back in San Francisco. She explained how Alex was their limo driver the night Chelsea proposed to Raven. He came to Boston for a tryout with the New England Patriots and after latching on for three seasons, called it quits, fell in love with a local girl and settled down. He opened a club called Pulse that quickly became one of the hottest spots in Boston. Chelsea told London how amazing it was that Raven seemed to have a hook-up in just about every major city.
"You two did what?" Chelsea exclaimed.
"Yeah! We made out to get out of a ticket!" London said.
"That was your chance right there!" Raven said, rubbing her stomach.
"It didn't feel right. It has to feel right, you know?" London said. "It didn't feel right after the massage either."
Raven raised her eyebrow and leaned forward in the seat. "Did… you say massage?"
"I think she did, Rae." Chelsea said. "Now spit it out, Missy! What's this about a massage?"
"I gave Maddie a massage while she was sitting on the couch." London offered.
"Oh… well that's not so…" Raven started.
"And on the bed…" London added.
"Okay, now that…" Chelsea began.
"With me straddling her." London continued.
"I thought you weren't acting stupid anymore!" Raven said. London just looked at her before flashing her eyes back to the road. "You missed two golden opportunities to tell her how you felt, now it's gonna end up hitting a flash boil like it did us. You'll be writhing around in the bedroom, panting, sweating… screaming…" Raven's voice dropped and her eyes began to glaze over. "More panting… swearing… more screaming… buckin' your hips…"
"Rae! Snap out of it!" Chelsea said to Raven. "Sorry London. Her hormone levels are increasing by the day… Not that I'm complaining or anything… (clears her throat) now back to you and Maddie… you need to rock her world on the dance floor…"
"Chelsea and I have had some of our best… evenings together at home after the club." Raven said.
Chelsea chimed in. "And in the club, and in the parking lot, the elevator in the building…"
"Okay!" London said with a chuckle. "I get the point!" London turned into the garage at Maddie's building. "Here we are." They all piled out of the car and headed up to Maddie's office.
"Maddie?" Chloe said over the intercom.
"Yes?"
"Three of the most gorgeous women I have ever laid eyes on are standing in front of me waiting to see you." Chloe said with a smile in her voice.
Maddie smiled and decided to join in the fun. "Is one of them a very beautiful pregnant African-American woman with hazel eyes and a body that is thicker than New England clam chowder?"
"Yes." Chloe said with a chuckle.
"Is one of them a stunningly gorgeous brown-eyed redhead with legs for days?"
Chloe looked Chelsea up and down. "Mmm hmm."
"And is the other one an exotically beautiful Asian-American woman with an ass to die for?"
Chloe began nodding. "Oh yeah."
"Well send them in… please."
The large oak door eased open. It took every fiber in Maddie's being not to rush across the office and bear hug the first person to cross the threshold. She took her standard position; half-sitting on the desk, half-standing, and waited for the door to open fully confirming the identities of the three women on the other side.
One by one, they walked in, eyes bright, smiles as broad as the ocean so near. In that brief moment, Maddie wondered if there was such a term as ménage a quad. She quickly dismissed that thought as the smile from London sucked the wind out of her lungs. It was a good thing Raven was a talkative as she was.
"Maddie." Raven said. "Come to Momma." Raven stepped forward to embrace Maddie. As she embraced her she whispered in the blonde attorney's ear, "She'll be yours before the sun comes up tomorrow, I promise." Maddie wanted to do all things at once. She wanted to laugh. She wanted to cry. She wanted to kiss Raven for saying it. She wanted to kiss Chelsea for being married to Raven. She wanted to kiss London for being London. The smile on her face was as pure and joyous a smile as she had ever produced.
As they broke the embrace, Chelsea raised an eyebrow and cocked her head to one side. "What did my wife say to you?" Chelsea stepped forward to embrace Maddie.
"She said that you are the sexiest redhead she's ever laid eyes on." Maddie said as she embraced Chelsea. "Then she let out this moan that made…"
Raven swatted at Maddie playfully to shut her up. "You are so full of…"
"Language!" Chelsea said lightly but sternly. "Our unborn child is listening."
Raven shot back immediately. "You didn't say that when I was screaming…"
"SO…. MADDIE!" Chelsea's timely interruption caused laughter in the office. "You look… WOW! Agree with me, London."
"Oh I do." London cut Maddie a look out of the corner of her eye with an upturned smirk on the corner of her lips that for the first time was seen by her target.
Maddie's thoughts went into overdrive. Oh I saw that London! You want some blonde hair on your pillow in the morning? Okay sweetie… it's go time.
"You two are just… stunning." Maddie said. "What's your secret?"
"Plenty of water, skin care products and mind-bending orgasms." Raven said, leaving the other three women with their mouths agape. "Especially the mind-bending orgasms."
"I am a firm believer in that one." London said. "Any volunteers to help me?" London looked directly at Maddie.
HOLY… "See what y'all did?" Maddie exclaimed as her gaze went back and forth between Chelsea and Raven. "You've been in town a hour and she's already off the hook." Maddie then looked directly at London. "She better be careful for what she asks for… she might just get it."
Chelsea leaned over to Raven and whispered in her ear. "They're gonna make our shower look like child's play." Raven nodded in agreement.
"What's this whispering? No whispering allowed in my office!" Maddie said.
"We were just talking about our great idea!" Raven started. "How does a nice dinner and the club sound?"
"Are you sure you can go to the club?" Maddie said, concerned about Raven's pregnant state.
"It's good for me to move around. And with me being pregnant, I don't get hit on as much." Raven said.
"As much?" London wondered aloud. "With child and still gettin' play at the club…"
"Don't blow her head up any bigger that it is already." Chelsea deadpanned. Raven leaned over and nibbled Chelsea's ear.
"Stop that!" Chelsea giggled.
"Well… if we go to the club can we invite Barbara and Max? They are so much fun." London said.
"The more the merrier. Give' em a call!" Raven said just they heard a knock at the door.
"Maddie, Barry said that Judge Warner…" Ray Collier said before noticing Maddie's company. "Well, hello London."
"Ray." London smiled.
"And I know that beautiful face anywhere… Raven Baxter. It is a pleasure to meet you. Raymond Collier."
"The pleasure is mine." Raven said.
"And who is this?" Raymond said with an aire of heightened interest as he looked at Chelsea and took her hand. Young beautiful redheads were Raymond's weakness.
Raven smiled, anticipating the upcoming look of bewilderment when she announces Chelsea's identity.
"Raymond Collier…" Raven began. "This is Chelsea Daniels… my wife Chelsea." Raymond froze in his tracks for a moment as he continued to hold Chelsea's hand.
"Your… wife?" Raymond asked Raven. She nodded. He then turned to Maddie. "Maddie? Do I look like a complete ass right now?"
"No. Just a partial one." Maddie replied.
"I… am sorry." Raymond said. "I apologize to both of you."
"It's okay." Raven said. "You have good taste." Everyone chuckled.
It was then that Raymond noticed Raven's pregnancy. "So, how far along are you?"
"Almost five months." Raven said.
"You must be proud." He said to Chelsea.
"Very." Chelsea's response was simple.
"Ray? Barry and Judge Warner…" Maddie began.
"It will keep. Just come see me when you get a chance." Raymond said. "It was a pleasure meeting you both. London… good seeing you again."
"You too. I haven't forgotten about our meeting." London said.
"I'll catch you later." Maddie said as Raymond departed.
"He so wanted you Chels." Maddie said.
"Yeah." London said. "For breakfast, lunch, dinner and a midnight snack."
"I'd have been on his ass like white on rice if he had made a move on her." Raven said.
"What did I tell you about your language?" Chelsea chastised Raven.
"Guess you'll have to spank me." Raven purred.
"And on that note…" Chelsea switched gears. "We'll meet for dinner at seven at your place." Chelsea said referring to Maddie's condo.
"Cool. I'll call the other girls." London said. "Call me when you get off." Maddie dropped her head and grinned. "From work. Call me when you get off from work." London said, catching her double entendre. Bye… Nasty."
"Bye, y'all!" Maddie grinned and watched the three of them leave. She then walked around to her chair and sat down. She spun around toward the window and let out a loud sigh.
Raven, Chelsea and London stepped outside the office and closed the door. London began fanning herself.
"When did you two start flirting like that?" Chelsea asked incredulously.
"Last couple of days." London answered.
"I have the perfect outfit for you to wear tonight. Lots of leg, lots of breast." Raven said. "It's not every day you get to grind up on the woman of your dreams on the dance floor."
"I'm ready." London said. "I'm ready to tell her how I feel. Let's do this." The three of them walked toward the elevator and stepped on.
After the chime sounded, Chloe slowly emerged from under her desk, where she was fixing a loose power cord. She slowly started nodding her head. "Now it makes sense." She whispered to herself.
"Chloe? Can I see you for a second?" Maddie's voice crackled over the intercom. Chloe walked into her office without saying a word. "Do you know where I can get a good club outfit?"
"Isn't one of your best friend's a designer?" Chloe retorted.
"I want to… surprise them." Maddie said.
"Then in that case, I know a place. I'll write down the address." Chloe said. "By the way, completely off-topic, but I'm just curious. What's your favorite city?"
"My favorite city?" Maddie asked.
"Yeah. Your favorite city… besides Boston." Chloe said.
"Well… I love, L.A. and Chicago, New York, D.C, oh and Phoenix."
"Maddie?" Chloe dropped her voice into a knowing tone. "What's your favorite city?"
Maddie studied Chloe for her intent. "What are you driving at?"
"I know what your favorite city is. I just want to hear you say it." Chloe sat down across the desk from Maddie. Maddie was still clueless until Chloe raised her eyebrow and faintly smiled.
Maddie paused and smiled. "Manny, Moe and Jack were talking after they left, weren't they?" Maddie inquired. "My favorite city… is London."
Chloe stood up and started toward the door. "Can't say that I blame you. I'd love to visit Scotland Yard my damn self!" Chloe smiled. "I'll get that number for you."
Later that evening...
London, Chelsea and Raven walked from their cars in the garage of Maddie's building toward the elevator. It was decided that Raven and Chelsea were going to take London's car in case a quick getaway needed to be made. Barbara and Max had some wedding shopping to do and told the others that they would meet them at the restaurant.
"Are you sure this outfit will do the trick?" London asked with trepidation.
"London. You look good enough to eat." Chelsea said as the sound of three sets of heels echoed through the garage.
"Now if we can just get Maddie to say the same thing…" London shot back.
"She will. No worries." Raven said with a smirk as the elevator ascended to Maddie's floor.
The three women walked up to Maddie's door. Chelsea and Raven looked at London.
"Well!" Chelsea and Raven whisper-yelled in unison.
"Okay!" London whisper-shot back. "Geez! It's like getting nagged in surround sound!" London rang the bell. They could hear the clicking of heels across the hardwood floor inside the apartment. The door opened… Two sets of lungs had all of the air sucked out of them in an instant.
There was no more than five seconds of silence, but for London and Maddie, time stood still. Maddie wore a form fitting black and white Baby Phat tank top that showed off lean, toned arms and just enough cleavage to keep those in her vicinity wanting for more. To add to the torture that London would have to endure, the tank was just short enough to display a sliver of midriff skin and a hint of a previously hidden belly button ring. This was accompanied by a skin tight pair of rich blue denim Baby Phat jeans, silver chain belt and strappy sandal-like heels that showed off Maddie's fresh pedicure.
Not to be out done, London's torture of Maddie consisted of a white, sleeveless top with a deep V-neck that was sheer enough for one to see a soft green lace bra underneath. The showstopper, however, was the leather micro-mini skirt that stopped just below the curve of London's backside. London's magnificently toned legs were on full display accentuated by the pair of four-inch stiletto heels she wore.
Chelsea and Raven glanced at each other and smiled in a knowing smirk. Raven broke the ice. She reached inside her purse and pulled out several twenty-dollar bills and waved them at Chelsea.
"Why don't you and London go buy something tonight…" Raven said looking at Maddie, still waving the money. "I can handle this."
"No way." London deadpanned. "You got your woman. Anyway… Maddie's my date for the wedding." Her eyes never left Maddie. "Might as well get some dance practice in tonight. Right, Maddie?"
"Absolutely." Maddie answered. "You look great by the way." She then caught herself. "All of you do."
"You look pretty fine yourself, Blondie." London said with a faint smile. "Ready?"
Like you wouldn't believe. Maddie thought. "Yeah."
"Rae and Chels are taking my car. Can I drive yours?" London asked.
That's not all you can drive. Maddie said inside her head. She reached in her pocket and pulled her keys out and handed them to London. The four of them headed down to the garage and loaded up the two-car caravan for their trip into the night.
They met up with Max and Barbara at the restaurant and, after a light meal, headed to the club.
The six of them parked down the street and headed up the side walk toward the club.
"Look at the line!" Max exclaimed. "I knew this place was hot but, man!" "Thanks for inviting us Raven!"
"Are you kidding? You think I'm gonna pass up the chance to hang out with five hot women at a club? You're welcome." Raven said.
"Anyway, this is a celebration!" Chelsea said. "The last night for the soon-to-be Mrs. Martin over here to get loose! WOO HOO!"
"Just make sure they don't have root beer in there." Max said. "She'll be shit-faced before you know it."
"Shut up Max!" Barbara snapped.
"Root beer?" Raven asked.
"Yeah. One time Zack and C.J. opened up a club in the hotel… and the party animal over here got tipsy off of root beer!" They all laughed except for Barbara who just nodded her head menacingly.
"My parents didn't let me partake of strong drink back then." Barbara said. "Hey guys? Do you notice something strange about that line of people?"
They all looked at the line. There were no men in sight. Raven smiled. "At least you don't have to worry about guys hitting on you tonight." They reached the front door. The line trailed off in one direction. They walked up behind the bouncer at the door. "Excuse me?" Raven said.
"Line starts back there sweetie." The bouncer deadpanned, not looking up from his clipboard.
"We're guests of Alex." Raven offered.
"So are all these ladies. Now like I said the line starts down there." He shot back.
Chelsea was about to protest when Raven put her index finger up. She reached in her bag and pulled out her cell phone.
"Hey!… Yeah, we're here… No, we're still outside. We're having a problem getting in… Yes… Really?… Ok. See you in a few… Bye." Raven hung up the phone.
"Rae?" Chelsea said. Raven shushed her before stepping back up to the bouncer.
"Excuse me?" Raven said in a sweet voice.
"What is it now? I'm kinda busy." The bouncer snapped.
"Alex told me to tell you that…" Raven leaned in and dropped her voice to a near whisper. "It would be a damned shame if Kelly found out about what happened last month in Lexington." Raven leaned back and waited for the bouncer's response. He turned around to face the six of them.
"My name is Tony. You ladies let me know if there is anything that you need. I'll take care of you." With that he opened the rope behind him to let them pass.
"Our cars are way down at the end of the block and my wife is pregnant…" Chelsea said.
"Hand me your keys. I'll make sure your cars are out by the back entrance before you leave." Tony said.
As they walked in London slowed and leaned up to Tony. "Musta been one hell of a time you had in Lexington." London said. Tony faintly smiled and responded. "Enjoy yourself tonight."
They stepped inside and began nodding their heads to the pulsating music. They hadn't been inside the main section more than thirty seconds when out of nowhere Raven felt herself being lifted off the floor.
"Still light as a feather!" Raven focused and immediately recognized the unmistakable voice of Alex McCutcheon.
"Put me down!" Raven giggled almost uncontrollably as she embraced Alex.
"No problem." He sat Raven down and swept Chelsea off her feet. Chelsea's face turned a deep crimson as she began giggling in embarrassment. She wrapped her arms around Alex's massive neck. "Can I borrow her for a few… years?" Alex said to Raven. "I'll be bad. I promise."
"I've never seen that shade of red before!" Raven said. "Better put her down before she melts."
"Too late." Chelsea said as Alex sat her down. Chelsea began fanning herself.
"So… you gonna introduce me?" Alex asked.
"Alex… this is Barbara, the blushing bride-to-be, Max, her maid of honor, London…" As Raven's introduction reached London, Chelsea, who was standing next to Alex, tapped his hand indicating that she was one of the two "special friends" Raven had mentioned. "… World famous ingénue, and Maddie, the sexiest attorney in Boston." Chelsea tapped Alex again.
"It is a pleasure to meet all of you." Alex said. "I've got the perfect table for you. Everything is on the house. Just give the bartender one of these cards and you're all set. Y'all are my special guests."
"You are a beautiful, chocolate mountain of a man." Raven said. The other five women nodded and grinned in approval of her assessment. "Thank you."
"Anytime. Enjoy yourselves and… welcome to Pulse!" Alex said as he retreated to his office and waved.
"Let's rock this joint!" Raven said as she grabbed Chelsea's hand and headed for the dance floor.
"C'mon Max!" Barbara said as she glanced over at London. "You can embarrass me out there!" Barbara and Max laughed as they headed out to the floor to dance. Their departure left Maddie and London standing, looking at each other awkwardly.
"Well…" Maddie said. "Wanna do this?"
"I don't bite." London said.
"Well in that case, I'm going home." Maddie said turning toward the door.
"The hell you are!" London snatched Maddie by the arm and dragged her out to the dance floor.
London and Maddie made a point of not getting too close as they danced. Part of it was not wanting to get too worked up too fast. The other part of it was their desire to see the other move. They both had a silky fluidity on the dance floor. They were naturals. Not as natural as Max, and Raven for that matter, but they were comfortable out there.
As the songs changed, so did the dance partners. After several songs, Raven beckoned off and headed over to the table. Chelsea followed soon after, then followed by the other four.
"Max, you are amazing!" Raven said. "Where did you learn to move like that, girl?"
"Before I was born, I got in line for seconds on rhythm." Max said.
"Well you got a good batch." Raven countered. "And I saw you out there Barbara. There's a wild woman inside ready to get out."
"I'll save that for the wedding night." Barbara said.
"I know that's right!" Maddie said, slapping high-fives with Barbara.
"If you hear a rumble Saturday night and Sunday morning, it's just us. It's been six months." Barbara admitted.
"Six months?" Chelsea exclaimed.
"OH HELL NO!" Raven said. "I'm sorry, but I could not hold out for six months. I need something. A hand, a toy… something!"
"I'm with you on that one Rae." London said. She glanced out of the corner of her eye at Maddie.
"I didn't say that I haven't… done anything…" Barbara blushed. "Just not C.J. Not until our wedding night."
"So we won't be hearing from you for a while." Maddie said. Barbara responded by letting out a sexy, throaty giggle.
"Ooh! This is my song! Excuse me ladies!" Max said as she jumped up and headed back out onto the floor.
Raven leaned over to London to whisper. "You know, now would be a good time to give Maddie a little show." Raven then leaned over to Chelsea. "Chels? Would you be so kind as to give London a hand? She needs a dance partner."
"Dance partner. Right." Chelsea said as she stood up.
"London, I know she's hot, but please behave yourself." Raven said. London smiled and headed out onto the floor with Chelsea. "Hey Maddie!" Raven called out to Maddie then motioned with her head for her to come sit next to her. "How's it going?"
"Alright I guess. There just doesn't seem to be a… right time to say anything. Maybe tonight's not the night." Maddie said.
"Girl, don't say that. The night is still… Hey Maddie, check it out." Raven said, looking at the dance floor. Maddie turned her head in time to see London and Chelsea seriously grinding on each other. Each time her head swiveled around to their table, London fixed an intense gaze on her blonde friend.
"Is it hot in here or is it just me?" Maddie asked.
"Uhh… I think it's London that's hot right now." Raven said.
On the dance floor, London was wondering if the show was having its intended effect.
"You think… it's working?" London breathlessly asked Chelsea.
Chelsea took a second to flash a look at the table. "Oh yeah. If Maddie's eyes… were laser beams… you'd have… holes in your shirt… by now." Chelsea answered.
Meanwhile, back at the table, Raven tried to jumpstart Maddie.
"What's your next move, slick?" Raven queried.
"Switching places with Chelsea…" Maddie said. "Right now." Maddie stood up and began making her way out the dance floor. Her stride was sexy and confident. Her moment was nearly at hand.
The long anticipated chapter 9 is finished. I hope I didn't disappoint. Chapter 10 will be along very soon. PLEASE REVIEW.
