THE WEATHERGIRL BY B-MAN

"Is that where Monique comes in?"

"See, the reason Jack is blackmailing me is simple: he's getting a divorce
and his wife will get half of everything and that will put a serious crimp
in his lifestyle and he can't have that."

"So essentially he's putting you through this hell so he can party"

"Yeah, but what he doesn't know is that I know he has a weakness for
shemales. I know a few girls 'in the business' and they told me he has a
weakness for she-cock."

"Well. I can't fault him there," I said.

She smiled as she put on her blazer and prepared to leave.

"I hope you really nail the prick, Shannon. You deserve peace in your life
after all the shit you've already been through." I paused a moment as she
put her hand on my cheek."No, really, I always thought people on TV and
stuff were self-important dickheads but you're different"

"I'm not as different as you might think. I can be a bitch sometimes too.
But you've been such a dear these past few days that I find myself already
thinking of you as a friend." Then she came over to my took a Post-It and
gave me her number and asked for mine. "Even though we've just met, I feel
like I can trust you and I'd really like to keep in touch."Then she kissed
me said goodbye and walked out.

PART 3: THE FUCKFEST

On Friday morning, Veronica was hanging out in the mailroom going over the
list of items she'd procured and things she had to do before the Fuckfest
and, as usual, was stressed about it Over the month I'd been with the firm
she and I had become kind of close. We often help each other with each
other's work and have lunch together a lot. She;s a real cutie pie. At
30, she's been living as a girl for 10 years and has been with the firm
from the beginning. In fact, she was the first employee hired after Debra
and Angela formed the firm. The title 'Office Manager' is sort of a vague
description of what she does which is just about everything but actually
practice law. She fusses over the Fuckfests especially.
