So I didn't ask my mom about Dakota coming over to be finally and properly introduced.
It's not because I didn't want to, but I'm just still kind of scared to. I know the more I keep overthinking what my mother will think of her and then me, the more I may accidentally out myself in the worse way possible.
"What are SBUs?" Dakota asked from the other side of the FaceTime call.
Earlier today I explained to Dakota that I haven't yet asked my mom and she was okay with that. I then told her she can come by on Saturday which will be the day after my performance.
Now at 9pm, Dakota is helping me prepare for my marketing class exam that I have on Wednesday.
I brought my highlighter to my chin as I closed my eyes tight in thought. I skimmed through what I study while humming for a few seconds before it finally came to me.
"Strategic Business Units which are all divisions of a portfolio," I answered with excitement and confidence In my answer.
Dakota's lips twitched up in a smile which was confirmation of being correct. While I bent over to my notebook to tick a tally for the answers i've gotten right so far, Dakota began clapping me on.
"Good job, alright you ready for the next part of the question?" she spoke with a smile still lingering on her face.
I began to feel myself starting to get shy with contact and her adorable smile that I just nodded my head as I looked over at the forgotten YouTube video playing silently on my Tv.
"Okay so what does each SBU has its own of?" she questioned after her focus was away from her iPad, which is what held a pdf of my notes.
"Distinct mission, own competitors, and a single business?" I answered with a tinge of uncertainty.
Dakota looked back down at her iPad and she didn't have the same rewarding smile ive been receiving when I got them right so I knew I got something wrong.
"Damn was I all the way off or just a little bit?" I asked with slight frustration. I felt as soon as I was on a good roll, it doesn't lasts long.
"Nah doll, you got the first two right but the last one you listed is missing more to it and you forgetting one," she answered, "you wanna try again or you want me to just give it to you?" she asked with a tilt of her head.
I took a few moments to myself to decide what I wanted to do. On one hand I wanted to try again just to at least see if I had the answer in my brain, but on the other hand I just wanted the answer given to me as it was the easiest route.
"Nah, you got it. Try again," Dakota interjected my thinking with such conviction.
With a groan I rubbed my forehead with my pointer and middle finger, "I don't think I do."
