I wake up to the sound of my iPhone going off. I lean lazily over my bed to the nightstand. I couldn't reach. So I yelled at my phone.
"Answer on speaker!" And the phone obliged.

I continued"Hello?
"Hey Charity, wake up we have a meeting today", my best friend charr said.

I looked up at the ceiling of my bedroom thinking why! I'm so exhausted from being up last night blogging.

I whine"whyyy"
"I know girl you think I wanna go to work?",Charr said.
I said"But it's worth going today because I'm now the new boss, the senior journalist associate position whaaat".
I love the way that sounded lol .
Charr says"Yes girl, I'm so proud of you. You been working your ass off, you deserve it boo".

I smile thinking how long I've came to now being on top of things. I felt accomplished, intelligent, successful black women. Might as well be called boss lady.
Charr says " on the real best, you gotta be down there, you suppose to meet the new team member that join."

I sigh" okay well I guess,well let me get ready and I'll see you at work"
"Okay hun, and again congrats",Charr said.
     I smiled"Aww thanks best." Before I can hang up the phone.
"Wait!", Charr said.
"Yes Best?",I said.
She hesitated for a moment then finally spoke.
"I think Alex is cheating on me,"Charr said sounding like she was about to cry.
All I wanted to do was hug her.
She continues",Alex has been coming home super late. We haven't been having sex. Like no young married couple go a day without sex you tell me who do, shit".
I wanted to laugh but I held it in.

"Well look at it this way, My boyfriend is a surgeon. He is never home Charr,I was just like you thinking maybe he really aint at work or some shit. But then I put on my big girl pants and thought to myself, he keeps me in red bottoms and Gucci okay."
We laugh.
"Girl don't let some one take your spot as a wife because you want a little extra attention. Alex is a good man and he is not cheating. He's a detective come on Charr."

I can hear her feeling better"okay I'll trust him, I just gotta remember Red bottoms and bottles",Charr said
I laugh "oh wow, but I gotta go, I'll be late Fucking with your ass."
Charr chuckle low"Bye".

***************AT WORK*************************

(So as I arrive at work I immediately felt a knot in my stomach. I don't know where it's coming from but,it's making me feel nauseous. Maybe it's coming from being nervous, I know I may have made it seem like my promotion was easy and it means nothing but in reality it's a lot if pressure. But I got this and no one I mean no one can't stop me.I hope the new journalist ready for me because I'm not no joke.And he better be ready to step in my shoes and make me proud. BOSS LADY COMING THROUGH)

I walked into the room where the meeting was. Everybody was drinking coffee talking among themselves. Everybody was just excited and pumped up for the meeting because we usually just chill for an hour and eat, before we actually do work lol.

Until this 6'2 ft, muscular, caramel skin, hazel eyes,man walks in. It seem as if the room got smaller. He steps back fixing his tie and wiping his suit blazer as if he is just sharp. The men felt threatened when he stepped in. And Charr silly ass had a grin on her face as if she is a lion waiting on its prey.

He walks up to my assistant Jacob I guess asking where the boss is which is muah. Because he start heading my way. He had a smile on his face that made me just want to melt.

"Hi, I'm Donavon finally nice to meet you", he said as he held out his hand for a greeting.
I kept it very strict I did not crack a smile.
