Pitch

Client: We have given you two weeks.

The two clients walk in. It was the first time I saw her, She was a singer, She came wearing suits made out of expensive fabric. The queen bee. Lately the black community have strong influential leaders.

Boss: One more week please.

They got up to leave upset until I said.

Derin: We are ready!

Boss: We are? I mean of course we are!

Derin: Beauty Dominate!

I pitch to her. Her husband seem to be a little out of it. He didn't say much just kept his black shade on.

Derin: It's a girl finding her way through life out of college, her passion is to be a fashion designer. Nervous on her first day, her friend lend her beauty tools, that helps her dominate the Interview. "Don't just be another pretty face, Dominate!"

I was now walking around the large office room helping them see the vision I was pitching. When I was done, There was no doubt in my mind that the two clients would like it. I never expect the husband to respond to my pitch! His response was very settle and direct.

"We like it! That's the one!"

I was relieved the king and quren of hip hop and r&b music loved what I was selling. My boss take the lead negotiating the money. I took my leave to my office I was no longer needed here. I could clearly hear Jerry foot step following me to my office. Why wasn't he In there?

Jerry: Oh my God Do you know who's that in there?

Derin: Yes, the lady who has been holding down the R&B community for a while now.

Jerry: That is one fine looking black woman. I swear I will marry a black girl like her one day

Derin: Okay white boy!

In no time our boss finds us goofing off. He walked in with a very serious expression.

Boss: We got the deal!

Jerry: Bonus baby!

Me and the boss looked at eachother laughing

Boss: You didn't do anything but exist!

Jerry: So wait am not getting bonus? I'm on his team?

Boss: I want you to know that's why your getting a bonus.

Jerry: AM SECRETLY OKAY WITH THAT.

My boss announced me as the new executive. I was happy for the salary boost. I was obviously done for the day. Packing up my things to leave for the day of course Jerry had inappropriate ideas.

Jerry: What are you doing?

Derin: Going home. It's been a long day am ready to rest and take the next week off or until we get another client.

Boss: I agree with Jerry for once we should celebrate.

Derin: Should we? Should we though?

Jerry: Yes my brother from another mother.

Did he have those stupid short In every color? Why was my boss always wearing a sweater with black or brown long pants. I've never realized this place was filled with white people. Hmm

Jerry: Tonight.

Derin: No

Boss: Yes! I know just the spot.

Derin: Come on its coming from Jerry, You are prepare for that disaster?

Boss: You betted on him.

Jerry: It's 6 right now we can all head out all together.

Boss: Great let me get some stuff in order.

Jerry: I'll hang out with Derin, Hurry up am starving.

Boss: Am distributing the bonus, I could do it on Monday morning

Jerry's: Oh no take your time.

Boss: Thought so

Shredding papers after a long day was my routine

Jerry: When will you get the janitor to paint your office. It's white?

Derin: White stand for purity you know.

Jerry: What is this a spiritual cleansing?

Derin: Haha no

Jerry: Are you wishing to be pure?

Derin: No, Long time ago someone told me I look good in white so I picked it as my favorite color.

Jerry: Truly weird.

Boss: Am ready

Jerry: Took you long enough.

I smiled and led the way. I couldn't stand them bickering like children. Our boss drove a black Gmc looking like a dad. Jerry drove a aqua blue Toyota raize He thoughts that would attract some girls. Sigh poor guy always going about things the wrong way. I had A all white Mercedes Benz nothing to expensive. We all followed the boss since he was the one who knew the place. The restaurant had some French language on it. It was butlers instead of waiters I think.

Butler: May I take your coats kind sirs?

Boss: No need, thank you.

Obviously No one is wearing a coat? We made our way to our table. They had red tablecloth with "bon appetite" Written all over it. I ordered the roasted duck With cherry sauce on the side, roasted vegetables as well, It look very appealing on their menu.

Jerry and the boss stick with steaks medium rare with fries. Of course! They had some classical music playing in the background the exterior wanted to take you to paris.

Exquisite.

Boss: We have worked together for a year and I still know soo little about you?

Derin: Am not a very interesting guy am afraid.

Jerry: Well my family created coffee cups, Although there is some debate about the actual founders, Some would agree it to be Ethiopia; being the birth place of coffee. others would say Japan...

Boss: No one cares

Jerry: Am teaching a part of history here

Boss: No one cares Jerry

Derin: What would you like to know?

Boss: Do you have any kids?

Derin: Um no, the girl that got pregnant for me, She um Died from child birth

Boss: That's sad

Jerry: This restaurant is sad. Can we go some where else?

Boss: Hahah where would you like to go?

They interact among themselves. I didn't like to think of my past but I remember Stephanie. She was this ambitious girl, Always wanted to take Joana spot as the dance team captain, so she always try to undermine Joana. At the time me and Joana was going steady. She was this sarcastic girl, Very direct and straight to the point. Haha now I think about it, She was the only one I couldn't pitch to. I was soo in love with her. We Dated for three year no break. If I had played my cards right she would of been my life partner. She knew me more than I knew myself.

Jerry: Hey brother you okay?

Boss: You zoned out, For a minute there.

Derin: Yeah do we got the check? Am going to call it a night.

Jerry: No, we are not.

Derin: Am not?

Boss: Jerry said there is a place where we can go, that's more lively

I wonder if he knows that Jerry means the strip club? Jerry is soo inappropriate.

Boss: Let me pay afterwards we can go.

Jerry: Let me see the bill?

Boss: You paying?

Jerry: $500 for what?

Boss: Lower your voice you imbecile

I couldn't help but laughed. This boy was soo outrage with the bill. When the pricing was written on the side of the menu.

Our boss paid on the company card.

Jerry: Yall can't go with these big name brands clothes on.

Derin: Why not?

He convince us to go to Ross to by regular t-shirt and jeans. I don't know why boss listening to him. He and his wife must be fighting again. He made us park our car infront of our house and got in his, soo we won't raise suspicion. "Oh God" I thought. We went to the rougher part of town. We found this little small business it had alot of girls in lingerie. Majority was black girls and Chinese girls.

Jerry: Welcome gentleman to the best night of your life.

Boss: Is this a?

Dering: Strip club!

I walked inside. The smell of desperation, Abandonment, and low self esteem filled the air as these girls Dance seductively to please man, Hoping to replace the absent men in their life. I walked in and took a seat.

Jerry: Do you have cash on you?

I check my wallet.

Derin: I have 5,000 In 100s and 20s

Jerry: No, that would be disrespectful to them, they seem to only wants dollars.

This boy knew nothing.

Derin: Well than I can't help you

Jerry: It's fine. Let me get 3,000 I'll pay you back.

Derin: Sure

I hand him 3,000. I wasn't going to get entertained here I could tell.

Boss: Okay I withdraw some money in the ATM

Jerry: Good do you have ones?

Boss: No, idiot the ATM only give 20s

I shook my head at both. Some lady spotted us and walked over. She had glitter all over her body, wearing Just brah and panties. The top was noticeably too tight, She arranged her breast to fit her extra small top. She had some curves with some thighs. I didn't like her type of booty, I like nice round ones. That was undeniable, irresistible.

Stipper: Hey boys, you want to have a good time?

Jerry: Yes, my black Goddess

She smilled at this white boy calling her a Goddess.

Stripper: You have enough money there to get you what ever you want.

Jerry: Anything I want?

Boss: Even. Umm

Stripper: What ever your thinking, Yes to it all.

That was my queu.

Derin: You boys enjoy yourself I'm going for a walk.

Boss: Don't stray we are surpose to be bonding.

He said as he shove a 20 in her breast. They looked like some horny hamsters. Did she intent to entertained both guys? Some girls man haha. I decide to walk outside to find somewhere quiet to call Amber, am sure she is asking "why I haven't call; it was 10 already." I came across this small dinner. I decided to walk in, Find a quiet table to call my girlfriend.

Derin: Hey babe what's up?

Amber: Are you at work?

I could tell by the tone of her voice she was accusing me of something. She always been the Jealous type.

Derin: Um would you like to video chat?

Amber: Yes, very much so.

Derin: Okay hold on

This waitress is soo rude didn't she seen me on a call?

Derin: I'll just get a bottle water please.

"Coming right up" She said sarcastically. I didn't have time to argue with a waitress who obviously hated her job. So no I didn't address it. I called Amber on video chat. Her eyes was everywhere.

Amber: What are you doing at a dinner?

Derin: I was at the strip club earlier.

I could hear her taking deep breaths, she's soo cute. This rude ass waitress just put my water down and walked away. I had half a mind to call her back. you know what I will call her back. When I turn around to say something. I got a glimpse of her round butt. She was petite on top but well developed in the bottom. In my life time I only know one person shape like that. It couldn't be Joana can it?

Amber: Babe!

Derin: Yes.

Amber: Why were you at the strip club?

Derin: Yeah, Boss call it bonding time

Amber: What?

Derin: Jerry pick the place

Amber: Oh make sense now.

Derin: Haha yeah.

Amber: Why didn't you stay? I mean don't guys like that kind of stuff?

I could tell she was a little insecure. Always asking me "Do I like big breast? or big booty" naming what she don't have.

Derin: You know what I like.

I teased her. I could feel her relief over the phone. She love the black culture soo much, if she could go back she would come back as a black girl With ass and tities.

Amber: So do you miss me?

Derin: Always

I lied

Amber: I will be back in a few days... Okay Dam am coming...

Babe I gotta go. I love you we will talk tomorrow.

She hung up. "I wonder if she even notice, she just told me she loves me for the first time? Sigh how can I not love her? I have problems." I could hear the waitress coming back.

Derin: Soo are you ready to be a actual waitress now?

I said not even looking up. To show my decipointment.

Joana: Honestly I don't need to serve you tonight.

Her words, Her tone, The sound of her voice awakened some pain that I buried so far down in my heart. I almost didn't want to look up. If it was my ex girlfriend I wouldn't be able to look at her. The last time I saw her I caused her the most hurt one could afflicted on another. I couldn't take it she looked perfect even when she cried beating my chest that night.. I decided to pull some money Out my pocket. Paid for my water. I quickly walked towards the exit as fast as my legs will carry me. "Sir the water is not 100 dollars?!" She said "Keep the rest as tip" I said with sadness in my voice.

Derin: What is your name?

I ask before exiting the dinner. Afraid of her answer, Back turn To her the entire time, Hoping she said any other name but...

Joana: Joana

I nearly stumbled by the door. I walked outside following my footstep to go back to the strip club.

Jerry: Yes. Call me Captain hook!

He said dancing behind the girl.

Boss: I know this song!

Jerry: Who doesn't

"I go shopping if I want it I cop it ay" They said in unison. Haha The boss had this hot pink feather scarf going around his neck. Jerry took off his shirt smacking it against the girls bottom.

Jerry: This white boy got the move.

They switch the song both of them went crazy.

Jerry: You know this song boss?

Boss: Hell yeah!

Jerry: You gotta move!

Boss: MOVE!

"Last night I took a L but tonight I bounce back." They sung loud and out of tune. I walked over and grab Jerry keys. I figured it was time to bring them home.

Jerry: When did you get back?

Derin: Just now!

Boss: I won't be able to drive myself home tonight

Derin: I know.

I got them inside Jerry car. Drove my boss home first, Then jerry. I was both shocked and happy for my friend suggesting the strip club tonight.
