we have a place for Mardi Gras . ARETHA Sure do. Wait a minute. I shouldn’t be this happy. My husband is dead. MATTIE Remember she cheated for several years on you. You know what, we should go look at this place. ARETHA He did cheat. I know that he sung the blues. Hell maybe he was singing about me. How he would run around on me, sleeping with 2 women, what his wife don’t know won’t hurt. That okra! MATTIE If I were you I would get all 12 of his CDs out and listen to the lyrics. Come to think about it we should. I just thought about the song called, “Nosey Ass Friends”. That bastard was talking about me.
Aretha could not help but to burst out laughing. She looked at Mattie’s face and saw how serious she was. Aretha told Mattie that once they finished breakfast they would ride over to her house to listen to Edgar’s CDs.

I walked out of the bathroom of the hotel with my robe on. Dennis was still checking his email when he looked up at me and said that he ordered room service. I was ok with that. He grabbed his travel bag, web tablet and went into the bathroom. We had a conference at 10:00 this morning. Dennis was going to be speaking to future attorneys about practices. I was going to be talking to a group of students that wanted to become teachers. Twenty minutes later Dennis came out of the bathroom. I was putting on my necktie when I noticed how handsome Dennis really is. He pulled the towel from his waist exposing a large cut dick that curves to the left. He walked over to me to help with my necktie.
DENNIS I have enjoyed this trip but I am ready to get home. JACOB Why, it is just getting started. DENNIS That is what I know. Don’t get me wrong. I love what we do as far as the conferences go. I love my practice. Lately I have been thinking about settling down again. You know Andrew and I was together for almost thirteen years. I miss having someone to come home to. Someone to spoil. Someone that can spoil me. I would rather this trip be a pleasure trip than a business trip. JACOB I understand you that. I have never told anyone this but I miss that also. You know after Ellis’ death I just put my personal life on hold. I think about dating every now and then.
When he put the final touches on my tie he started to get dressed himself.
DENNIS Whatever happened to that prison thing you were into? JACOB Well actually I made a phone call to one of my pen pal the other night. DENNIS Okkkkkk ……. JACOB He didn’t answer his phone. DENNIS That might be a good thing. It could lead to trouble. What did he go to prison for? How long was he in there? How long has he been out? JACOB Am I on trial? He went in for drugs, served almost 9 years I think, and has been out for a minute. DENNIS Yeah ok. JACOB Oh I forgot to tell you that we are going out to Playground tonight. DENNIS Cool. Richard going. JACOB Whose idea do you think it was? DENNIS Right.
The clock on the nightstand flashed 9:15. I knew that we had to hurry to make it downstairs on time. I don’t like to be late for anything.

The alarm went off in Monique and her friends’ room. Everyone was suffering from a hangover. Teddy flipped over and slammed the alarm. The sun was trying to peak into the room through the blinds. No one wanted to get up. Ian had one leg hanging off of the bed. Jeremy was laying across the foot of the bed. Teddy turned back over to embrace Monique. He gave her a kiss on the forehead. Someone’s phone started to ring. The ringtone sounded familiar but no one wanted to get up. The phone started to sing again. Monique yelled for Jeremy to get up and answer his phone. Jeremy answered the phone because it was his mother.
