Green Chapter Two

A short while later the most attractive man she had ever seen entered the bank. Lost in his good looks Kenya had to find the words "May I help you?" He introduced himself. " Yes my name is Malik Maxwell Williams. I would like to open an account". "Mr. Williams please follow me to my office". Malik was in Kenya's office for twenty minutes before making his departure. Kenya made it up in her mind that she would get to know Malik on a personal level. Kenya lived a rather dull life unto the point she decided to get involved with Malik. Kenya was a plain looking black woman in her 30's who never had any real luck with men. The next day was Saturday so it was Kenya's day off. She spent most of her time paying bills and shopping. She pulled into the Emerald Lady parking lot got out of her 2003 BMW and went inside. Looking for something to make Malik notice her. Kenya picked out a low cut v-neck red top, a short black skirt that flattered her figure, and black knee high boots. Kenya paid $236 for the attention of a man. I must be crazy thought Kenya as she handed the cashier the money. Walking back through the Emerald Lady parking lot Kenya bumped into Nubia her one and only friend.
