Every Since Lunch with Mr.Valentino or Mike I have been realy on edge lately,It feels as if he knows something and he is not telling me.

Going through the rest of this day feels like it is taking forever.

Looking up at the clock every minute has not been helping either.

Once I got done with all my work I decided to get on my phone and go through my song list, I put in my earphones in and started to listening to "What would you Do" by City High.

Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story?

Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup,
About 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck
And I took one girl outside with me,
Her name was Lonnie, she went to Junior High with me,
I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last."
She said...

[Chorus:]
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor,
Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone somewhere smokin' rock now,
In and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now,
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life

[2nd verse:]
Girl, you ain't the only one with a baby,
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Then she looked me right square in the eye
And said, "Everyday I wake up hopin' to die,"
She said, "Nigga, I know about pain
'cause me and my sister ran away,
So my daddy couldn't rape us,
Before I was a teenager
I done been through more shit
You can't even relate to!"

[Chorus]

Hold up!
Then she said, what would you do?
Get up on my feet and let go off every excuse
What would you do?
'Cause I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went through
C'mon, what would you do?
Get up on my feet, stop making tired excuses
What would you do?
Girl, I know if my mother can do it, baby, you can do it

Oooo, oooo, oooo

[Chorus]

What would you do if your son was at home,
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry and the only way to feed him is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his daddy's gone somewhere smoking rock now,
In and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now,
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life,
Come on

[Chorus]



 When I looked up I screamed because I saw Mike in the Door way just starring at me.

I quickly took out my earphones"I'm so sorry sir why didn't you tell me you came in?"I asked confused at why he didn't.

"Well I was but I didn't you to stop singing your voice is beautiful by the way."He said coming closer.

Blushing"Why thank you Mr.Valentino."I said holding my head down trying to move things around to avoid looking him the eyes.

"Didn't I tell you to call me Mike, Mr.Valentino sounds to formal don't you think?"He asked Lifting up my head with his hand.

"Well Sir you are my boss it seems ok to me."I said walking away from him.

"You can call me whatever you please Zanobia."He said winking at me.

"Zanobia may I ask you a question?"He asked now sitting on my desk.

"Sure sir  if it's about the meeting I have all the Documents right here I just have to seperate them all."I said in all of one breath.

"No not about that...I just wanted to ask you will you go out to dinner with me tomorrow Night around 8?"He asked.

Wait! whoa did he just say date he must just want to talk over some new ideas for the company or other bussiness stuff because what does a man that looks like him and as weathly he is would want to go on a date with me a single mother that looks like cow.

"Sir do you mean a date as in talking about the New ideas for the Company if so i have yet to type those up."I asked curious.

"No no...Zanobia I would like to go on a date with you"He said.

I am in so much shock right now what do I say?!

What should Zanobia Do?
