               Mark was driving to 'The King of Sandwiches' and he didn't say a word until they got to the beltway, "Yo man, what's wrong with you?" Jeff said, "Nothing man, I'm just thinking," "what are you thinking about, man," "I don't want to say, it'll be weird," "Oh, common man." Mark hesitated and said, "I'll bring it up when we get to the place, it's related to something else I wanna talk to you about, anyway." A car pulled up beside them when they were at a light, their were two girls, young, and beautiful. Mark looks over to the car and they smile and wave, Jeff leans over and says,"Com'on, Mark, wave back," Mark waves back and cracks a smile, the girls laughed at him and drove off when the light was green. "Oh, don't worry, Mark, I'll teach you everything I know, and you'll be pullin' them in no time."

                        When they arrived at the sandwich place, they got in line right away, their was so many people dressed up just like them, suit and tie. There were even women there dressed all professionally, and wanted a sloppy sandwich, but they still looked good. Mark and Jeff took their seats and opened up their wraps. "So, what did you need to talk to me about," Jeff asked Mark, "I wanted to ask you a personal question," "Alright." Even though Mark told himself he was going to tell Jeff what he wanted to ask, he still felt nervous for getting personal with him. "What do you do when you're not at work or at home?" "Well. I'm out the house, doing what grown men do," "I mean, well, I'm a grown man and I don't know what other grown men do other than me," "We go drink, we go to strip clubs we go  gambling, we watch football. There's so many things a man can do releasing stress," "That sounds fun," Mark says. Jeff's watch goes off, "Oh, we gotta go bud, we're about to be running late.

On the way back to the workplace, Mark was thinking about everything that Jeff told him, all of it sounded so much fun snd he's a little disappointed because he's also thinking about all of the things that he could have been doing to cure his depression, instead of a dumb nurse coming to his house every morning pampering him. Sitting at his desk he was still thinking about all the time that was wasted time being in bed. Sasha comes up to his desk again, "Hey Mark, how was lunch?" "It was good, Im definitely going back to that sandwich shop tomorrow." "That's good, I didn't know you make moves on lunch duty," "Well, its my first time out of the office for lunch, and i never really eat lunch," "How about we go out to lunch sometime?" Mark stutters with his mouth half way open, and says, " Yeah yeah sure yeah we--we can go out for lunch sometime," Mark tires to rest his elbow on his chair but it slipped and Sasha lets out a cute chuckle, "Alright, I'll catch you around," "Okay."

When Mark got home, it was a totally different ball game. He hopped in the shower and watched tv, he never watches tv, barely even took a shower. He was thinking about his whole day today, it was fun to go out for lunch.
