Earl woke up, to a night of unleashed passion from a fifteen-year young lady.  He was a predator, but the young girls that he encountered were willing to have him because he appeared seventeen yet he was twenty-five, and he savored the attention.  He watches the rather healthy body wrapped in sheets, making her way to the bathroom, he licked his lips as she turned gently, giving Earl one last gaze.  Lorna liked Earl, she like the way he could just make her feel so good, defy her parents, and even be punished for not coming home all night. If they even knew that she was anywhere near the guy they would have him locked up, but it was not his fault, Lorna lied as she always did telling men she slept with that she was twenty. Earl had no idea that she was the age she was; she said that she was twenty; the way she dealt with him he believed she was twenty.

Earl looked at his watch, as his cell phone rang; it was his lawyer who reminded him that he was due in court in just three hours and should appeared as soon as possible, they needed to talk.   He laughs it off saying that he that he was not worried, it was a woman that he was seeing five years ago, accusing him of being the father of her two sons.  He knew that it could be a great possibility that he was the father, and he was willing to settle so that he could have piece of mind.

Now Claire was a soft spoken female that would let anyone get over on no matter how much she cares about a man.  She had five long years with Earl and produce twin boys that were the spitting image of him. Their relationship fell apart when he met Monica and decided that he wanted out of the relationship and out of the children. She chased him down on several occasions, only to find that his latest conquest had a baby by him too, and she too wanted him to take care of his little girl. Claire had their differences with Monica the other mother but they had seem to find solace in each other. 

Earl button up his jeans and searched his closet for a shirt, then Lorna fully dressed came up in back of him stroking at his manhood.  He sidestepped, so that he would not feel the tension, after all he was sensitive there, he could get started and nothing would take place for the rest of day.

Sherrie had been a friend of Monica’s and like some friends; she fell for the charms of said Earl.  Sneaking up to his place, they would play games with his toys, kept hidden in a box built into the wall.  Earl thought about how he loved the wild games that they played together.  Then she had to go and mess everything up and get pregnant and she would not be persuaded, even when she threatened to tell Monica.  He tried everything to convince her to give it up, that he was not the family man.  Tears filled her eyes, the crushing pain, of seeing just what kind of man she had let have her heart.  

“Lorna baby I have business meeting but I will call you later, okay.” He grabbed her slender waistline rubbing her basket ball round behind, squeezing her close, laying a super wet suck me up kiss on her; he wanted to make sure that he would hit that again tonight.  Lorna was totally in the engrossed into him, in the back of her mind she would be on house arrest forever, when she finally crossed the threshold of her mother’s house.

“Call me on my cell phone if your not busy I will meet you tonight.”  She knew that she would have to climb out her window and disappear once again. Lorna thought about what this relationship was doing to her character, how she would never let some young dude put her in this much trouble. After some minutes of passion to remind them both of what tonight would be like they parted leaving his house.  He dropped her off about five blocks from her house.  She told him she had to stop pass her girlfriends and pick up something. 

Earl looked into the rear view mirror as she went up to the door of her girlfriend, his thoughts change to the situation that was at hand. He knew Claire was a woman that would not just let him get away clean, especially the way he left her at that time. He was ready for the onslaught, Claire would pull out all the stops, so he would concede, and then he would win this fight because he would defuse it before she had the chance to make her point.

He knew it would be just a matter of time before Monica would want to go the route but he had a plan to make her chance to do the same thing. 

Earl thought himself to be a smooth lover; able to give any woman the illusion that he would change, but that he would still do his thing. He drove up to the courthouse and parked his car in the parking lot adjacent to the building.  Earl took a deep breath and closed his eyes, clearing his mind, and when he opened his eyes, a female appeared, walking slowly toward the courthouse, squinting his eyes to make sure it was whom he thought, she vanished into the building.  He emerges from the car wondering why Dee and old girlfriend would be here too.   Memories of their encounter reminded him that she was married at the time and had a couple of kids by her now ex-husband.  Finally, he breath a sigh of relief, this was all Claire’s fault; he would not be feeling this way, if she would not have brought him here.  

He walked into the building, looking around for his lawyer who was not there, he saw another friend of his, Manuel, who was there for his babies mother, they had an understanding, and would make a deal for him to pay child support for his little girl. The way the court system worked when you entered females was given a number and the men were given a number.  Earl received number three, and he saw Claire sitting next to Dee, distracted by his conversation with Manuel that he did not notice Sherrie and Monica sitting together on another row of benches just behind Dee and Claire. Dressed to the nine, they sat without any response.  

“Number Three.”  Sounded the court clerk. Earl raised his hand waiting for his lawyer to appear and just as his representation came through the doors, the clerk called out the next number.

“Number Sixteen!”  Claire, Dee, Monica and Sherrie all stood at the same time, and walked toward the podium and stood they’re, never looking back at Earl. 

“Oh, hell no!”  He shouted.  His lawyer grabbed him and pushed out the door, and then the lawyer came back into the courtroom.

“Your honor please give us a couple of minutes, this has been a shock.”  The lawyer searches the judge’s demeanor.  Judge Abrams raised her eyes above his glasses, and asked the ladies to have a seat for a moment.
