A Date?

This week has been pretty rough.

Work is been tougher than usual.

More paperwork, the boss making me run errands , interviewing new clients.

In case you didn't know I am the secretary of  a big Music Company called Sony.

My boss calls me in.

"Skylar, I need you to go to a clients house. And pick up his demo cd please."

"Sure thing Mr. Mottola."

I grab my bag, phone, and keys and walk out.

I enter the address in the GPS.

5225 Figueroa Mountain Road, Los Olivos, California 9344

"You will arrive at your destination in approximately 30 minutes."

During the drive I turn on some tunes.

"Going back to the corner
Where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag
I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard
Got your picture in my hand
Saying if you see this girl will you tell her where I am?

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke – I'm just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do?
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here."
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year.
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows.
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go."

So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl, oh ohh
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm

And maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved

After a short while I arrive.

And when I pull up. I was shocked.

It was Neverland.

I checked the GPS  just to make sure.

But I guess I shouldn't be suprised.

I never knew the address to this place.

I pull up closer to the gate and press the button

"Hello, what are you here for?"

"Hi, I'm here to pick up the demo cd for Mr.Mottola."

"Okay, one moment."

The gates open and I pull in.

I pull my way up to the front of the house.

I park and get out.

As I approach the door, Michael opens it.

"Well, if it isn't Ms. Skylar."

"Hi. Michael. How are you?

"I'm fine. You? "

"Good, thank you. "

"Well come in."

I walk in and he leads me to his office.

"Demo right?"

"Oh, yes. "

He hands me the cd.

He looks at me.

His eyes are locked to mine.

Finally I break free and thank him for the cd.

"Hey. "

I turn around and he is sitting on the desk.

"I know we haven't talked in a week, but um, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me. Doesn't have to be anywhere special.
It could be here. But only if you want to.."

I smiled.

"Um yeah, that would be nice. When?"

"Here, Saturday, at 6:30pm. I'll pick you up."

"Alright, sounds good."

He comes over and hugs me.

We say our goodbyes once again and I leave.

I can't believe I am going on a date with Michael Freaking Jackson.

Oh boy oh boy.
