The Banquet Of Transcending Electronics

It’s Thursday. On this nice, clear and sunny day the temperature rose to a pleasant height of about 80 degrees. It’s starting to cool down as the time rolls into the evening setting. One behind the other four of them pulls up to the parking lot of The Hotel Kingston. They show the parking attendant their identification. Respectfully, he directs them to the area that has been assigned for them to park. This evening they’re synchronized. They’re very well coordinated. One after the other they pull into their designated parking space, gets out of their car, and stand in front of the sign that signifies that the parking space has been reserved especially for them. All of them are wearing a tuxedo. It’s the required dress code to establish their distinction. This evening, they’re some of the VIP’s for the cooperation of Transcending Electronics. They’re being praised for their outstanding performance and achievements through business endeavors. They wait until they are all out of their car and are standing in front of the sign of their parking space. Proudly and boldly they look at one another simultaneously yelling,

“Ruff!”

It’s their wild and bold way of signifying their appreciation for achievement. They take pictures of the event. They huddle together. They give each other the high-five as they congratulate each other. Proudly and sophisticatedly, they shrug their shoulders. They cuff the lapels of their tux for a few seconds. Cool, calm and collected, they then walk into the building and get into the elevator.

Meanwhile, in the major ballroom of The Hotel Kingston, other members of Transcending Electronics gather for the corporation’s annual award ceremonial celebration. The spacious room is filled with exquisite foods and wines to make the feast one of the most remembered occasions of the year. The employees, their escorts and friends begin filling the ballroom. The serene sounding music of the band playing on the beautifully decorated stage enhances the atmosphere for the occasion. About ten feet in front of them is a table covered with an elegant white tablecloth. It displays numerous trophies and awards. A long white cloth-covered table for the honored representatives sits boldly and beautifully about thirty feet from the stage. About twenty feet behind it are nicely decorated circular tables. They’re equipped to seat a party of four. They sit elegantly on the beautifully decorated carpet of the room. It’s sparked off by the thoughts of elegance when you glimpse upon the beautifully styled chandeliers. The four honorees get out of the elevator. They’re Jermel Simms, Aubin Emerson, Larel Fairenton and Dexter Willington. They turn to the right and look down into the ballroom. A little nervous, they turn and look at one another.

“Well, this is it J.S.!”

Aubin responds somewhat nervously. Jermel sips some of the iced tea that’s contained in his cup. Cool and calm, he looks at all them saying,

“Are yours ready?”

Are yours ready is a slang term used by them when they go out partying. It appeals upon them to intelligently apply their characteristics of wit, charm, and finesse. The phrase automatically enlightens them. It in-stores confidence.

“Let’s do the due!”

Larel inspiringly responds.

“Yeah—! Let’s do the due—!”

Dexter humorously replies. They turn and look at him. They then turn and look at one another. Thinking about how funny he is and what’s probably to come they burst out laughing. A few seconds pass. Aubin, still laughing responds,

“Come on! Let’s give us some love!”

Quickly, thinking, Jermel interrupts as he looks at him,

“Wait a minute. Are the photographers there?”

“Yeah, and she and her assistants know what we want!”

Surprised, Jermel, Larel, and Dexter look at one another. They then turn, and look at Aubin simultaneously replying,

“She???”

Aubin becomes startled. He tries to play it up,

“A—, yeah. What do you expect? I’ve got to let everybody know I establish flair and sportsmanship in everything I do.”

They continue to stare at him. They’re thinking about how the thoughts of charming women taking pictures could stir up a lot of imaginations. Humorously, Aubin then says,

“Besides, I need a little something to enliven my zeal for affiliation!”

Again, surprised, Jermel, Larel, and Dexter look at one another. As Larel and Dexter stare at Aubin, Jermel smiles and shakes his head from side to side in disbelief. He turns and curiously looks at Aubin as he responds,

“Hey—. Come on—. This is thee— day.

Now let’s show us some love so that we could go in there and party.”

Thinking about what lie ahead they put the thoughts of Aubin and his sportsmanship aside. They cuddle together. They put their left hand on top of each other’s.

“Ruff!”

They again vigorously shout.

Again, they give each other the high-five. Quickly, they check over their appearance. They then walk towards the ballroom. As they walk in, camera bulbs start flickering. They stop, look at one another and smile. Again, they give each other the high-five. Knowing how they want to act they become cool, calm and collective saying,

“Let’s— do— the— due—.”

As they look around the ballroom Jermel sips some of his iced tea. As they turn and look from side to side, they look on in admiration as they gaze upon the elegantly styled ballroom. Jermel sips some more of his tea as he turns and gazes upon the elegantly decorated guest of honors table. Camera bulbs continue to flicker as he looks at the gold colored engraved metal plates centered on lavishly decorated pieces of wood. Stimulated by the acknowledgment that his name is on one of them he quickly sips some more of his iced tea. He taps Aubin on the arm. All of them turn and look. They look on as he points to the guest of honors table. They gaze upon the elegantly styled table in astonishment. Jermel fascinated looks around the ballroom. Curiously he responds,

“Mm—! Mm—!! Mm—!!!

Man—, I didn’t think that I was going to make it this far in so little time!”

Quickly, Aubin responds,

“Let’s enliven the atmosphere a little!”

Again, they give each other the high-five vigorously shouting,

“Ruff!!!”

Their loud response causes some of the people in the ballroom to look at them. In the process, Larel looks outside of it.

Three more of the VIP’s of the cooperation gets out of the elevator. Quickly he looks at his friends responding,

“Look to the left! Look to the left! Look to the left!”

Cool, calm and collectively, they turn.

As they look outside of the ballroom, they gaze upon three elegantly dressed ladies. They’re Meekka Learington, Lara Kerring, and Mellacen Cemms. They continue to stare as the ladies walk towards the ballroom. The ladies acknowledging them staring stop. They look at each other. Smiling, they nod their head up and down, and continue to walk towards them.

“Hi, gentlemen!”

They simultaneously respond as they’re almost upon them. Camera bulbs continue to flicker. They bring some thoughts of glamour to the three lovely ladies. Jermel, Aubin, Larel, and Dexter look at one another inspired by their correspondence. Zealously, and yet curiously, Aubin, Larel, and Dexter look over at Jermel as if waiting for him to give them the o.k. sign. Meekka looks on as Jermel surprised by their response moves his head back astonishingly. He smiles, slightly tilts his head to the side, and curiously shakes it from side to side. She laughs a little. She looks at him with some appeal after acknowledging their and his reaction. Jermel is about five-nine. He’s medium built. His hair is short and nicely trimmed. He sips the remaining tea that’s in his cup, walks a little distance and throws it into the garbage. In the process, Aubin, Larel, and Dexter take turns greeting the ladies. They gently grab their hand, kisses it and then lightly kiss them on the cheek. As Jermel walks back towards them Meekka approaches him. He smiles as he gazes upon her with appeal. Meekka who is about five-seven is a slim and very attractive woman. Her hair extends past her shoulders. She’s wearing a dark blue evening gown that lightly glistens when light reflects off it. She smiles back at him. Fascinated, she says,

“Hi!”

“Hi.”

He replies calmly and somewhat curiously. The sweet and somewhat soothing sound of his voice inspires her. It installs within her a calmness that makes her feel confident and settled.

Inspired, she smiles. She looks into his eyes as she says in contentment and yet with some fascination, “Congratulations!”

Intuitionally, he senses those feelings. Mildly, he smiles as he looks into her eyes with an expression that reveals enchantment and curiosity. He continues to stare at her for a few seconds. Afterward, he replies,

“Congratulations.”

Again, the soft and settling sound of his voice causes her to smile. She holds her head down a little and turns it to the side blushingly. Her response appeals to him. It makes him smile and look at her somewhat intimately.

“Why don’t you let me escort you to some comfort and relaxation?”

He asks.

Still, blushing, she turns and looks into his eyes intimately saying,

“Why don’t you?”

Slightly, he moves his head back astonished. As his response causes her to laugh a little, her, and Jermel’s friends quickly turn. They look at them fascinated. Her remark causes her friends to look on inspiringly knowing that she has some interest in him. It causes Jermel’s friends to respond in a loud tone,

“Ooh—!”

Again, their response causes people to look at them. It causes Jermel and Meekka to surprisingly look at one another and then them.

“Just a little something to enliven the atmosphere!”

Aubin laughing responds. Surprisingly, they all look at one another and laugh. As the laughter starts to simmer down Jermel holds out his arm. Meekka embraces it.

“Shall we take our seats ladies and gentlemen?”

Larel enthusiastically responds.

Quickly, Aubin interrupts,

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Pics! Pics! Pics!”

As most of them turn, they astonishingly look at one another. He talks to them about what kind of pictures they should take. Jermel looks at the head photographer and her two female assistants. Just as they predicted, their appearance has stirred up a lot of attention. Men are swarming all over them making inquiries about wanting to know them. Again, he looks at the head photographer with one of her assistants. He notices how they try to politely sway the men away. Again, he looks over at her other assistant. He notices how she’s frantically trying to avoid the men who are too eager to gain her attention. Lightly, he places his hand over the hand that Meekka embraced his arm to get her attention. She looks at him. He slightly nudges his head in the direction of the photographer that’s frantically fighting off some men’s advances. She looks at her just as she turns the camera to them and flashes the camera bulb in their face. Some of them blinded by the flash walks away. Humored Meekka laughs. She looks back at Jermel. He laughs a little and shakes his head from side to side in disbelief. His reactions cause her to laugh heartier. He looks over at Aubin and calls out to him. As he turns and looks, he signals for him to come over to him. After he approaches him, he says,

“You’ve established the phobia. You want to resolve it?”

He moves his head in a manner that causes Aubin to turn and look at the photographers. As he turns and looks, he moves his head back astounded. Frantically, he throws his arms out responding,

“Whoa—!!!”

He looks at the photographers and all the men who are striving to get their attention for a few seconds.

Quickly, he turns back around and looks at Jermel enthusiastically saying,

“O.k.! O.k.! I got this! I got this!”

He walks into the center of all three of the photographers shouting,

“Ex—cuse— me—!”

As he gets their and the men who are swarming over them attention, he says,

“Would you please— let these lovely ladies take our pictures? We’re paying them by the hour and it is ve—ry ex—pen—sive—!”

The men walk away mumbling their dissatisfaction. The photographers’ express signs of relief. Jermel and Meekka looking at them laugh. As Aubin goes over to the photographers and explains what other kinds of pictures they want, Jermel cool, calm and collectively look at Meekka saying,

“Well. That was a good lie.”

Surprised and humored she looks at him. She then buckles over laughing. Again, she looks at him. He’s slightly smiling and nodding his head up and down as he looks at Aubin talk to the photographers. She becomes somewhat fascinated.

Less than a minute pass. Aubin walks back over towards them. As he walks, he makes a motion to them to come together. As they huddle together, he claps and cuffs his hands as if satisfied saying,

“O.—k.—! I’ve redefined every—thing—! I told them that we would like a lot of pictures of us as couples, a lot of the men, a lot of the ladies, a lot of us all together, and some of every—body else!”

“It’s about time you did something right!”

Larel humorously shouts. All of them look at one another. They then look at Aubin and laugh. He becomes startled for a second. Playing it up, he joins in on the laughter. After a few seconds, he continues to play it up laughingly saying,

“O.k.! O.k.—! Let’s do this! Let’s do this!”

Jermel and Meekka acknowledging Aubin’s intuition for financial opportunity look at each other. Smiling, they shake their head from sides to side. In the process, eyes in the ballroom continue to light up as camera bulbs continue to flicker. The men become the women’s escort. People look on as they take turns escorting them into the ballroom. Some of them look on in praise. Some of them look on and envy as they see Jermel escort Meekka, Aubin escort Lara and Larel escort Mellacen. As a lot of them continues to stare Dexter looks around. Knowing there’s no one left to escort he plays it up. Humorously, he holds out his arm. He walks into the ballroom as if he’s escorting somebody. Quickly, he walks ahead of them. As they look at him, they stop and buckle over laughing. They laugh heartier as one of the photographer’s rushes up to him and continually takes pictures of him as he walks. Other employees, their date, and friends look on and laugh. Some of them tap other people and point to him as they continue to laugh.
