NOTHING in common.  What do you really know about her?  She’s a mother.  Are you ready for an instant family?  From all appearances she’s never been married, never attended college, and is a customer service representative!” Jason was really annoyed “There is more to a person than just what you can quantify on paper Franklin and when did you become so judgmental? ” Franklin never minced word and that’s what Jason loved most about him but today it was annoying “Look, let’s get serious here.  You can’t believe it will be easy for her to fit into your world or for your friends to get used to you dating a black woman.  Be honest, other than President Obama how many black friends do you have or even know? Scratch that even he’s bi-racial.  Not to mention your father would have a heart attack.  He’s already planned your merger I mean marriage to Bridget.” Franklin had to laugh a little about the last bit of information regarding his nuptials to Bridget. “Frank, what does color have to do with anything?  You know I don’t care about that and those who do can go straight to hell.  I know that Vicky would have an adjustment period but she is smart and kind. She makes me feel like I’m suspended in air when we are together.  I get excited just thinking about her.  I want to explore whatever connection it is that we’ve found.  I am going to see where it goes.  If my friends and associates won't support me then maybe they won’t be in my life” Franklin rubbed the back of his neck “Jason you know I don’t care about color either but I just want you to be ready because there are those who do.  I’ll support you no matter what I just want you to understand what you are in for.  You have social obligations, business meetings and dinners with other wives. Just ask yourself if you think Vicky can be a partner in all of it.  Would she even want to?  You obviously had some doubts about something because you didn’t even give the girl your real name.  Jason, all I’m asking is that you take some time and think about this before you make any big decisions.  Don’t rush into anything.” Jason knew he needed to slow things down with Vicky.  Franklin did have some valid points that left a lot for Jason to think about.  Mostly, would Vicky want to be a part of his life and obligations?  “Speaking of slowing things down, if you haven’t heard already I’m sure you will soon.  I broke it off with Bridget. ”

Chapter 13
    Vicky and Jason had been dating for the last several weeks.  They had sort of gotten into a routine.  They would talk every morning, text each other all day and Jason would call her every night around 10pm.  However, tonight by 10:15pm he hadn’t called.  So, she decided to call him and got his voice-mail.  Vicky left a message.  She was disappointed that she wouldn’t get to talk to him but looked forward to talking to him in the morning.
    The next day Vicky was getting ready to sign on for work and still had not connected with Jason.  By bedtime, Vicky started to get worried.  She hoped he was alright.  She hadn’t really met any of Jason’s friends or family so she wasn’t really sure who to call to make sure Jason was ok.  Well, she could call Mr. Roth.  That might be a little awkward but she needed to know that Jason was alright.  So, the next day on Vicky’s lunch hour she decided to go up to Mr. Franklin Roth’s office.  When she arrived she asked Franklin’s administrative assistant if she could speak with Mr. Roth.  The Admin looked Vicky up and down.  Her face looked as if she’d swallowed something distasteful.  Then, after assessing that Vicky was no-one important she told her that she would have to make an appointment.  Vicky felt like maybe she’d made a mistake by coming to Mr. Roth’s office.  As she was about to walk away Franklin happened to come out of his office. She needed to know Jason was ok.  She was nervous but
