A/N: Hello everyone. I apologize for being away for so long from this wonderful story I started on months ago. Yet life, as is so wont to happen, got in my way. Bu here I am. I will try not to be too far off in the future with writing and submitting my next chapter. Yet, here it all is. Due to how I have written the end of this chapter, I will need to change the rating to M. Yet this will also serve me well in future chapters I look to write in Mamiwata. Until then, please enjoy this latest entry in my maiden Seinfeld voyage. Enjoy! :D
Emboldened by her experiences with the legendary Conn McKramoy, Elaine decided to approach some garment manufacturers. All of them rejected her, for one reason or another. Some thought she was too good for Chicago. Others thought she was not talented at all. One did not at all understand what she was nor what she was talking about.
In one of those garment houses, Elaine left her sketch book behind.
And when she left it behind, her work contact information was left inside of the sketch book itself.
And since Elaine went back to work and not home, the manager at the garment house contacted Elain's boss, Mrs. Harris, at the department store.
Which, on its face, was not at all so bad…except for one thing.
Elaine said she had a doctor's appointment because she was not feeling well. However, she took time off from work to try and get her wares out there.
Mrs. Evans, knowinng Elaine wanted to be more than just her secretary, realized that a talk was in order.
So, after Elaine arrived at work, Mrs. Evans decided to take action.
Mrs. Evans saw Elaine upon a latter, making some adjustments to a Christmas decoration. The older lady approached the younger lady and they began talking where they were.
"Hello, Elaine," Mrs. Evans said.
Hello," Elaine said.
"So, tell me, please," Mrs. Evans asked, "how was your doctor's appointment? Everything fine?"
"Yes, ma'am," Elaine answered. "Everything is fine. Thanks for asking."
"You're welcome," Mrs. Evans responded. "However, after you left your appointment this morning, your doctor called."
"Oh? What did he want?" Elaine asked in return.
"He was calling to let you know that you left your sketch book in his office," Mrs. Evans answered.
"Oh," Elaine answered, looking away briefly, then looking back at Mrs. Evans during their conversation. Apparently, Elaine had been found out.
That, in turn, was all Mrs. Evans needed to do what she was about to do next.
"I am sorry, Elaine," Mrs. Evans said, "as much as I would like to have and keep you around, I am going to have to let you go." Afterward, the older woman walked away.
And that was that.
No good bye, and good luck. No I wish you well…only the best…et al.
Elaine was just let go right then and there on the spot.
After a brief pause, in which Elaine took a minute atop the ladder for herself, she then climbed down off of the ladder, took her name tag off, and snapped it in two.
She was not so much mad about losing her job as she really was being denied her skills, being ignored and not fully and truly appreciated of all of her true talents. As a designer. As a potential model. As a grown woman.
Conn McKramoy saw all of those things in Elaine Benes.
He saw a dynamic woman with the skills and talents of a potential fashion designer—yet, most of all, saw her potential as a model. A woman worthy of being photographed and featured all over the world. A pretty thing who, where he lived, would never be sent to get coffee.
Mrs. Evans did not see any of that in Elaine Benes.
She only saw a secretary. An employee at the department store. And nothing else in her. For all that, not even a woman. Someone only to be bossed around and treated with little, if any, respect.
From there, Elaine threw her broken nametag in the trash, grabbed her purse and coat, picked up her severance check, and simply walked away.
More relieved than hurt.
After being rejected at a few more garment shops, Elaine stopped by the unemployment office.
Little did she know what was in store for her.
While she was in line, just as she was stepping up to the counter, a woman came by to drop off some papers to the clerk who was assisting Elaine. The gentleman made an observation.
"Say, what's that you got?" the man said, observing the button his co-worker was wearing.
"Oh, it's from some comedian passing them out for a TV show he is trying to make," the lady said.
Elaine noticed the button right away. It was from Jerry's TV pilot.
"Well, why don't be get back to work trying to hand out this unemployment money to these people claiming they can't find jobs, and less time fooling with these comedians, some of whom are probably filing here, too," the clerk said.
"Ok," the young female said. "But he is kinda cute, though."
Afterward, the gentleman handed Elaine her check. Elaine thanked him for his time and the check, quietly walking away.
After a young man queried Jerry for a job as a camera crane operator, if needed for such shots in a video prodction, Elaine, looking from afar, started talking.
"I'm a widow from the south side with six kids," Elaine said loudly.
Jerry looked over in her direction and smiled.
"My old man left me and the heat is off in my apartment," Elaine said.
Jerry could not help but laugh. He was rendered speechless.
"One of my kids has the flu," Elaine continued.
Once he collected himself, Jerry began talking again.
"Well, did you ever talk to your landlord about this?" Jerry asked.
"Oh, to hell with my landlord!" Elaine said, with a smile. "I want my man back!"
Everyone around them laughed.
"Well, a young attractive lady such as yourself should not have any issues with that," Jerry said, smiling. Then, he seriously asked, "have you tried talking to the block supervisor about the heating issue?"
Elaine stammered, "well, uh…"
"Do you even have a block supervisor where you're at?" Jerry asked.
Elaine looked away.
"I bet you don't, do you?" Jerry said.
"No, I don't." Elaine said, feigning a sad look yet happily laughing on the inside, feeling herself reconnecting with this man she does love.
After laughing for a little bit, looking at Elaine, who he still loves all same, Jerry, after recomposing himself, started talking again.
"Well, the thing to do would be for the alderman to organize these block associations. That way, if these block organizers could take their concerns to the city council. That way, nobody ever has to go without heat again!" Jerry said, eliciting laughter and cheers all the way around from those within the sound of his voice.
Elaine had an answer for Jerry, though.
"Well, that's great," she said. "But you still haven't told me about how to help me get my man back!"
Everyone cheered. Jerry laughed, as well. He could not help but admire Elaine's moxie—as well as her obvious beauty.
"Because I love my old man! I miss my old man! I need my old man! Can't none of us get along without our old man!" Elaine said, everyone in the lobby around her cheering her on. Turning to a young man standing to her right, Elaine said, "and I know you can't get along without your old man either, right?"
The young man standing next to her concurred.
Jerry was so speechless. Never had anyone before left him so speechless.
Especially while in the line of comedic duty.
Yet Elaine had did it to him.
That is when Jerry Seinfeld knew he had finally met his match!
"You going to help me get my old man back?" Elaine said, smiling sardonically, albeit bubbly, with everybody in the lobby gathered around her.
"Well, if you will meet me outside this door in a couple of minutes," Jerry said, "I can try to help you with that."
Everybody in the lobby cheered them both on.
"Is there anything else here I may assist you with?" Jerry asked.
"We're just up here in this unemployment office trying to get our money," Elaine said, "while trying to get me a job! Can you help me with that!?"
Jerry went on speechessly laughing.
"Now, will you help me get my man back?" Elaine asked, again.
Jerry was smiling speechless. He admired Elaine's boldness and candor. He was really falling in love with her even more so that before. "Yes, if you will meet me outside, we can try to figure out a way to help you with that one," Jerry said.
"Yes, I will meet you outside," Elaine said, as she went outside to wait for Jerry with a rather seductive smile on her face.
The young man who had been standing near Elaine said, "I'll wait outside for you, too, if you could get me a job!"
Later that evening, Elaine and Jerry returned to the former's apartment. They had both stopped by Thickie's for another fun meal out and about, including another Thickie's milkshake bucket. Both were in very high spirits. Elaine had a sticker over her face as she went inside her apartment first. Jerry was amazed at her never-ending moxie.
"Girl, you are something else," Jerry said. "Do you know that?" Jerry was amazed about how Elaine was putting up advertising stickers all over the place, from Thickies all the way back to her place. Elaine had a quick answer for her man.
"It's showbiz, baby!" Elaine said. She then proceeded to go off of an impromtpu riff of watching Jerry's TV series, dancing and singing all over the living room of her apartment. Jerry watched from a distance, after closing and locking the door behind him, and just smiled, impressed by her personality, pluck, and boundless enthusiasm.
So many of the qualities Conn saw in her in the first place.
Jerry was seeing this more in Elaine as well.
Elaine then laid down on her sofa. Still mouthing the song she was singing about Jerry. The comedian then placed his trench coat to the side, dimmed the lights in the apartment, and walked to the couch where Elaine was laying down on her back.
"I've missed you, Lainey," Jerry said, standing over her. He then sat next to her on the couch.
With Jerry in her home, sitting next to her, Elaine looked away before finally admitting, "I missed you too, Jerry."
On that note, Jerry went in closer on Elaine and began to kiss her. Elaine returned the kiss, in kind. Before long, Jerry picked up Elaine, who put her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his torso.
From there, Jerry carried Elaine into the bedroom. They kissed until they both ended in front of her bed. Jerry then took off his coat and removed his turtleneck sweater. Elaine then took off her robe dress, unbuttoning it from her right side, and letting it slide to the floor. She then proceeded to take off her boots, as Jerry took off his shoes and socks, too. She then went over to Jerry, undid his trousers, and went at him.
After a while, Jerry finished taking off his pants and briefs, while Elaine removed her bra and panties. The two of them kissed and rolled around on the bed, Jerry taking Elaine's breasts into his mouth, while Elaine ran her hands all up and down his torso, licking his well-defined check and sucking his nipples, while also kissing on his flat stomach with all kinds of abs, too.
Jerry then went orally into Elaine's love hole—as she went likewise onto his love pole-before finally going all inside of her at the end.
Elaine had her man back.
Just as Jerry had his woman back.
Both back in each other's loving arms.
