My name is Bianca Sanchez. I am 43 years old. I am the manager of Pink Sky Rose Cafe in Las Vegas. It was a sunny, slow evening on April 2, 2016. I was getting ready to close the cafe. I heard the door open and I had told the person that we were closed because I had forgot to lock the door. Then it was quiet. The person was still there because I didn't hear the door open. Still my back was turned behind the register because I was cleaning. Then I turned and saw this guy in a white shirt on with a black vest over it with black high heel boots on. He also wore an Afro and had these weird looking shades on. He resembled Prince. I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't trippin. "Ar-ar-are you Prince?" I stuttered. "Yes I am" he smiled and took off his shades. "H-h-how may I help you" I was so star struck that I couldn't be professional. "Can I have tomato soup, a fruit salad, and a latte please" "Yes anything else" "That'll be it" he smiled. I couldn't believe it. PRINCE WAS AT MY JOB!! It was perfect. He was there by himself and I was closing the cafe by myself. I've been a Prince fan since Purple Rain came out. I saw that movie in theaters two times. I remember like it was yesterday. When I saw that movie, I fell in love with him. I've seen him 3 TIMES throughout my entire life. I actually went to his Las Vegas show a few days ago. I have his albums, his posters, like I went all out. Kids even made fun of me because I used to dress up like him sometimes. Yes I was THAT OBSESSED with him. He could wear my mother's dress and still get the draws. I thought I never see the day when I would actually meet him. "May I ask you a question" "Sure what's up" "What made you want to stop by here" "Well I heard that this was one of the best cafes in town. I'm vegan so my options are limited out here. I was looking for a place that was vegan friendly and I drove here" "You drove here by yourself" "Yes I sure did" "No bodyguards" "Nope" "Wow you are so brave" I was so in love with the man that I became a vegan. Prince had this unexplainable control over me. You know how a guy get you so sprung and in love that you can't explain it? That's how it was with Prince. "So what's your name beautiful" "B-b-Bianca" "Pleasure you to meet you Bianca" I thought Oh The Pleasure is ALL MINE DADDDYYY. "It's a pleasure to meet you too Prince" Long story short, I gave him his meal. I took a break from cleaning because he wanted to sit down and talk to me. We talked for a hour. We was just talking about life and everything. I even told him that my mom was a fan of his. He laughed. He also was flirting with me in between. He was one of the most humble and sweet people that I've ever met. I could've talked all night but he had to go. I took a selfie with him. He gave me his autograph so I can give it to my mom. He then left a tip then kissed my hand. He was so charming. After I finished cleaned up, I found a small piece of paper. He gave me his number. I waited a little over a week later to call so I wouldn't become a pest to him. We were talking about what was going on with our lives. He was busy touring around and working on new music. Then we talked again a few days before his death. He was apologizing that he took long to talk to me due to his busy schedule. He didn't sound weak or anything. He was in good spirits. Before we got off the phone, he said that he promise that he was gonna fly back to Vegas and see me. Then the conversation ended with me telling him that I loved him not knowing that it was gonna be the last time I hear from him. He told me that he loved me too and couldn't wait to see me. On April 21, 2016. My phone was blowing up. I had just got back from working out then I got the news that made my heart sunk. Prince. Dead at 57. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a hoax. I was so numb to the point where I couldn't even cry. I saw people hugging each other on the streets crying. That's when I started to cry. I didn't even get to see him again. I was so hurt that I wasn't able to move. I even took off from work because it hurt me so bad. The love of my life was gone. Still til this day, it hurts. Who knows what would have happened if he was still around? We probably would've dated, got married, had his kids, and had a farm full of animals. I am still devastated. Prince's death hurt me more than Whitney and MJ. My two kids grew up listening to Prince because I played most of his music at the house. God knew that he was gonna die at some point so he made sure that I got the opportunity to meet Prince. How he works in mysterious ways. I will never forget that slow, sunny evening that he stopped to grab a bite to eat then had talked to me. I also will never forget the two phone calls that we had with each other. I love you Prince Rogers Nelson always and forever. Rest in Peace.
