Once I devised my plan I need I had to put it in action. I went upstairs and my step mother was sitting in her Lazy Boy with her face mask on and cucumbers over her eyes. I tapped her and she lifted one cucumber and looked at me crazy with one eye.
"Can you sign my permission slip?" I asked.
"What have I told you about disturbing me while my face mask is on?"
"Sorry I just need it signed."
"Ugh gimme a pen." She snatched the pen and started signing. "And when I finish this I want you to leave me the hell alone for the rest of the night you got that?"
"Yes ma'am." I said as I walked away smiling.

"Alright, Cindy, frot the last few days, you've been acting real crazy, all happy and what not. I don't know what's wrong with you, but you need to tell me right now."
I smiled at Tracey as we boarded the bus.
"You want those Trey Songz tickets, right?" I asked.
"More than anything."
"Then shut up."

"My lips are zipped honey." She said pretending to zip his lips.
When I got to school I made it my buisness to call and set up an appointment to hand my sighned papers in. I wasn't going to waste any time with this. This was my only out and I was going to take advantage of it.

The school day went smoothly, probably because my mind was elsewhere. I called Vickie afterwards to let her know that I would be a little late to work because dude had suggested that we meet at his office. He told me to wait outside the building until he got there.

When he got there we went through metal detectors and he checked me in before we took the elevator up. The floor we got off on was very nice. It was modern and artistic. At the end of a long hallway full of offices was his office. We went inside and he closed the door so we could dicsuss buisness.

"Do you have that paper I gave you?"
"Yes." I took it out of my bag and gave it to him.
He examined it for a moment then smiled. "Perfect."

"So when does this all go through?"
"The final arrangements are being made and in three weeks everything will be finalized."

"Three weeks, huh?"
"Yup."
At first, I was a little disappointed when he said that, but then I realized that I've been living with Cruella for sixteen years. Three weeks didn't seem too bad.

"Well thank you so much." I said before shaking his hand and leaving.
I took the bus to the restaurant and I went straight for Vicki's office. I couldn't wait to tell her the good news.

"Vickie, I met with the guy from last week and he said everything would be ready in three-" I stopped when I walked into the office and saw my stepmother sitting across from Vickie.

"What guy are you talking about?" My stepmother asked.
"Um...what are you doing here?"

"I'm seeing if I can get Zonnique a job here. What guy are you talking about?" she repeated.
"Ummm..."
"My brother," Vickie chimed in. "He said he wanted her to tutor his son sometimes."

"Oh...okay. Well I'm going to need you to get out." My stepmother said.
I mouthed thank you to Vickie before I left. I'm so happy Vickie saved my butt on that one.

"Ay, Cindy!" I heard someone call. I looked up to see Merce and his boys walking into the restaurant. My face instantly lit up as he approached me and hugged me.
"I thought you were gonna call me," I said.

"My bad sweat heart. So what's been going on?" He said in his smooth voice.
"Nothing, just work." I couldn't even get any more words out of my mouth. He makes me so nervous around him. I feel like a fool.

"Just work, huh? Alright, well, you know what they say about all work and no play. I'm having a little get together at my crib tonight, and I came to personally invite you, ma."
"Oh, thanks but-"
"But... what? Another nigga got you tied up?" he joked.

"No I just have work and somethings to take care of at home...but I'll see what I can do."
"Alright see you there." He gave me a wink before heading out the door.
There was no way I could let this opportunity pass me by. I have to go to this party. That means I have to work fast tonight and get home and cook as fast as I can.

The rest of my shift couldn't go by fast enough. Not only was time passing by slowly, but business was slow too.

As soon as the clock stuck six I hung my apron up and was ready to leave out the door. It was just me, Vickie and the cook left, then someone decided to come through the door. I wanted to tell them we were closed even though we weren't. She was an elderly lady so I tried to get her drink order and food order at the same time as soon as I sat her down.

"Can you give me a moment, sweetie?" she asked.
I started to tell her no, but Vickie interrupted me. "It's alright, Cindy, I'll take care of her."
