2001.
Raymond looked out the window of the cab he was in. For some reason, he had a bunch of bundled up excitement in him. He had a strong feeling that what he was about to do was gonna change his life completely — and in a good way at that. But while having that feeling, his anxiety flared up, with negative past thoughts trying to creep around in his mind. He did his best to not pay attention to them, cause he didn't have time for his mood to change.
All of his thoughts stopped when the taxi cab that he was in finally did. He looked to the right and saw that same guy at the tall building like he described. Raymond stepped out of the cab and payed his fee, thanking the driver before he pulled off. Now on his two feet, he took a deep breath as he looked at the building across the street. He had to reassure himself that what he was doing was something that he had to do. Something he had to do for him to excel.
He walked across the street when the roads were clear for a slight second, going into the building that he saw the guy in. He looked around and waited for minutes, expecting the guy to pop up and appear at any moment. When he didn't, Raymond walked further into the building, going down a hallway. He stopped suddenly when he heard a funky type beat going the other way. It was music, and like always; it triggered Raymond's curiousness.
He walked the hallway faster, the music becoming more clearer to him. The song that was playing was All for You by Janet Jackson, which was in fact one of Raymond's favorite songs by her.
He loved Janet Jackson in general, as she and her brothers were such a huge inspiration, influencing him heavily in dance and music.
He bobbed his head as the song continued and eventually saw two big doors slightly opened. The music was coming from there, and the voices of male and females could be heard.
Approaching the door. Raymond peaked in the room and couldn't his eyes. He had to take a double take and step back because he couldn't believe who and what he just saw.
" AND 1,2,1,2,3,4,5 and 6. DONE! THATS HOW WE DO IT!"
Her voice gave him chills. He still couldn't believe that it was the Janet Jackson was in that very room, practicing a dance routine. It was so surreal. What if MJ is here too, Raymond thought as he stood. She and couple of other people were getting back in formation, and Raymond sat in awe as he watched.
He got himself slightly comfortable, as his mind slowly and slowly strayed away from his main focus— which was for a security job.
That was until he heard a some other guy's voice. A deep voice at that. Startled, Raymond looked over frantically, only to see a guy who stood to be tall and huge — tall like Shaq, but wide like Big Pun.
