    He navigated between programs lining up songs and preparing for his upcoming show.

    “TIA Enterprises, DJ speaking.”
    “Mr. Chatman, how are you?”
    “I’m good.  May I ask whom I’m speaking to?”
    “This is Mrs. Scott from Quest.  How’ve you been?”
    “Mrs. Scott, I’ve been great.  How ‘bout yourself?”
    “I can’t complain.  Let me tell you why I’m calling, DJ.  I had a meeting last week with a couple other execs to discuss your business proposal and portfolio.  We loved them both and agreed that you’d be a wonderful addition to the label.  With that being said, I’d like to make you an offer to join the Quest family.  Everything we discussed in our initial meeting; the salary, the job description, etc. is set.  Are you still interested?”
    “Are you kidding me?  DJ smiled.  “ Absolutely.”
    “ Good.  We’re glad you haven’t changed your mind or received another offer.  One last thing.  Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to sign either of the artists at this time.  However, Kane and Roe did a collabo that was sick.  We’d like to purchase it.”
    “I truly understand.  I thank you for taking the time to listen to and even consider them.  There’s still something to be grateful about…you want to purchase their track.  ”
    “You’re such a positive soul.  I can tell you’re the glass half full type guy.  That’s a wonderful outlook for life.”
    “It’s the only outlook I can afford to have.”
    “I know that’s right.  Well, I emailed you our offer for the track.  Check it out and let me know your thoughts.” 
    “Wow!  Okay, sounds good.”
    “Also, when are you available to fly back to New York?”

    “Denise!”
    “ WHAT?”  She asked as she entered the kitchen.
    “Baby,” he said pulling her into his arms.  He kissed her on the forehead before revealing the flowers hidden behind his back.
    “Awww…lilies.  They’re beautiful.”
    DJ smiled.  “ You need to know that there’s no one in the world I want to be with more than you.  You are my world and I’d never do anything to jeopardize what we have.”
    “DJ, I know. I hate that I have jealous moments.  You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I trust you with my heart.”
    He smiled then pulled two barstools from the kitchen aisle.
    “Sit, please.”
    Denise placed the flowers down before taking a seat. 
    “I have great news.  I got the call today.”
    “You got the call?”
    DJ sighed.
    “You got the call!”  Denise screamed.  “Oh my God, baby.  That’s great!  Tell me about it.  What did she say?
    “You are now looking at the A&R for Quest Records.”
    “Shut up!  DJ, congratulations!  So, what about Roe and Kane?”
    “Well, they didn’t sign them.”
    “Aww, man.”
    “It’s okay.  They’ll be straight.”
    “How so?”
    “Quest wants to buy the track.”
    “Shut the back door!  Are you serious?”
    He nodded.  “Looks like more prayers have been answered.”
    “I see.  Have you called Kane?”
    “No, not yet.  I had to share it with my partner first.  I couldn’t wait to get home.”
    “I love being your partner.  Guess there’s a celebration in order.  Where do you wanna go?”
    “Upstairs.”
    “Upstairs?”
    He nodded.
    “You sure?”
    He nodded again.
    “I think I can do that.”  Denise looked at her watch.  “Shall we meet in about fifteen minutes?”
    “Synchronize watches.”
    “You’re such a comedian.  Don’t be late.”
    He nodded before leaving the kitchen.  DJ pulled his cellphone out of his pocket. 
    “Kane, it’s D.  Call me when you get this message.”

    “Good morning, handsome,” Denise said kissing DJ on the forehead.
    “What time is it?”
    “Time for you to get up.  Breakfast is in the microwave and coffee is brewed.  Thanks for last night.”
    He snickered.  “You’re welcome.  Do you have a busy day
