GREEN Chapter Seven

The rest of the week went by slowly.  When Saturday      
arrived Malik got ready for his date with Kenya.  He      
took a hot shower and then got dressed.  He put on a      
Stacey Adams dress suit, Stacey Adams shoes, with a Stacey      
Adams hat.  He met Kenya at the BNB bank at 6:00pm.  Kenya      
was already waiting when he arrived.  "You're early."  "It's      
better to be early than late."  "Am I'm late?"  "No you're      
on time.  Since I asked you out I'll let you pick the place."      
"Ok come get in my car."  "No I'll follow you there in my car."      
Kenya followed Malik to the Green Palace Restaurant on the north      
side of Green Haven.  Malik parked in the Green Palace parking lot      
while Kenya parked across the street.  Kenya met Malik at the entrance of the Green Palace.  "Very impressive Malik the Green Palace is a five star restaurant."  "I aim to please" said Malik as he held the door opened for Kenya.  Malik walked Kenya over to their table.  "Tell me more about yourself" said Malik as he pulled back Kenya's chair.  "Well my full name is Kenya Ayanna Night.  I've been working at the bank for six years.  I graduated from Emerald      
University.  I'm my mother's and father's only child."  "So you're educated and beatiful.  Ms. Night tell me about your dreams or is working at the bank enough fulfillment?"      
"Excuse me may I take your order?"  interrupted the waiter.  "Let      
her order first" Malik told the waiter.  "I'll have the Braised Veal Breast and the Yokon Gold Potatoes.  Taking her menu the waiter turned towards Malik.  "I'll have the Seared Sea Scallops and Baby Lettuces."  Taking their Menu the waiter left.  "So Ms. Night what is your answer to my question?"  "Well for right now I'm happy.  Sometimes I do think about getting another degree."  Biting his bottom lip Malik was trying to figure out why would a woman as educated as Kenya ask him out.  "What about yourself Mr. Williams?" "I own a junkyard.  It's a lot of work but I like it."  Surprised by his answer Kenya asked what was after dinner.  "Well I thought we would go dancing at the New Moon dance club."
