Fatima Story

Healing journey

The next day Fatima arrives home. She puts her things away and reads Zac letter for the 50th time crying again just like the first time.

"Why did you have to be so mean? He probably hates you now. Then he watched you have sex with another man and he still wanted you even though he was hurt. You have to fix this." She said to herself

She wiped her tears and called Karen.

Karen: Hello?

Fatima: Hey Karen I'm sorry to bother you but I really need your help

Karen: My help 🤨? With what exactly? she said with an attitude

Fatima knew this wouldn't be easy.

Fatima: Zac and I took different planes and I need to talk to him but I have no way of contacting him. Do you know where I could find him? Or could you tell him to call me?

Karen: What makes you think I know how to contact him? Last I checked he was wit you I haven't spoken to him in days. You can't call him?

Fatima: I don't think he ever unblocked me from the first time.

Karen: I guess I can call him for you. What am I supposed to say?

Fatima: umm just that I got the letter and we need to talk.

Karen: ok I'll call you back.

Karen walks to her living room "call yo girl she just called sayin somethin bout a letter and y'all talkin." She said rolling her eyes.

Zac was there with a moving truck gettin all his stuff from the house he shared with Karen. He went and got a new 1 as soon as he got back from DR.

Zac been thinkin bout Fatima nonstop but he wasn't ready to talk yet. He wanted to give her time and himself.

Zac: ok tell her I'll call her.

She called Fatima and told her.

Fatima waited for days and Zac never called she thought "that bitch probably never told him. If I was her in wouldn't tell him shit. In her eyes I'm the hoe that came and took her man why would she help me?" She layed there thinkin bout everything that's happened since she met Zac. The good and bad. "I've been through so much in a short period of time with this man maybe him disappearing is a blessing in disguise. I think it's best if I just be alone for awhile I obviously have things I need to heal from and meeting Zac just added to that list."

3 months passed

Zac was in his spot and finally in a good place wit Karen they both were patiently waiting for their princess arrival she could come any day now so he's been happy and excited. He never called Fatima because he decided it would be best if he got everything together wit Karen before starting something new wit her. He didn't want to bring any baby mama drama to her. He also wanted to give her a fair shot at love wit ole boy so he stepped back so she could focus on him. He didn't know that he broke up wit her back in DR.

Fatima been doing good mentally for the past few months. She was hurt Zac didn't call at first but she figured it was probably for the best. She's been goin to therapy dealin wit her shit and now she's ready to start dating again. Her friend Angela told her about this speed dating event happening and she told her to come wit her.

Angela: Girl come it's just speed dating. What's the worst that can happen?

Fatima: umm I could meet a serial killer tf you mean what's the worst lol

Angela: ok you have a point but come on it could be fun. If nothin else we'll get a good laugh you know you need to laugh. And the drinks are free you can't beat that.

Fatima thought about it she did need to get out the house she hasn't been out in months.

Fatima: ok girl but you have to pick me up I'm not drivin ima have to get drunk to even stay there lol

Angela: I'll drive to your house but we're taking Uber I want to drink too.

Fatima: laughing ok girl see you at 7.

It's almost 7 and Fatima is almost done gettin ready she's lookin at herself in the mirror "damnnnn girl you fine asf , these niggas gone loose they mind when you walk in." She told herself. She wore a tight fitted strapless short black dress that hugged every one of her curves, silver rhinestone heels, and her LV clutch. She had her hair in a low swoop ponytail with her Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfume. Angela arrived at the same time as the Uber so Fatima walked outside to meet her.

Angela: DAMN friend you look damn good girl these niggas bout to go crazy.

Fatima: smiling thank you girl you look good as hell too.

They arrive at the place and of course all eyes are on them. They do a few rounds of speed dating gettin drunk in the process.

Angela: All these niggas are broke, nasty, horny, or ugly I haven't met 1 nigga in here worth a conversation.

Fatima: me either I came and wasted all this on broke niggas. At least we took advantage of the free drinks. They laughed.

Angela: you want to do another round or you ready to go?

Fatima: I guess one more round and one more drink won't hurt.

They sit for one more round Fatima was surprised when a familiar face sat across from her.

Fatima: Zac?

Zac: Wassup Ti? You look good girl.

They stared at each other in silence it's been months since they seen each other or spoke to one another. They called for everyone to switch but they didn't move.

Zac: we just gone stare at each other or can we walk outside and talk?

Fatima tells Angela that she's goin outside to talk to Zac.

Zac: why you at speed dating shit didn't workout wit ole boy?

Fatima: No he broke up wit me in DR when he found out I had sex wit you.

Zac: Looked at her Damn I'm sorry Ti that shit should've never happened. I should've respected your relationship.

Fatima: like I respected yours? Laughing it's cool I knew what I was doing I know I came there to fuck, I was just all over the place with my emotions and it wasn't until I read your letter that I realized I had never dealt wit my shit. I tried lookin for you even called Karen but I figured you didn't want to be found after how I talked to you. I'm sorry for that by the way.

Zac: She told me you called but honestly Ti we weren't good for each other at that time we both had shit to work through. I told myself if this was meant to be then it'll be when we're ready and it wouldn't feel forced and it wouldn't come wit so much drama.

Fatima: Maybe us runnin into each other is a sign that we're ready now? She said lookin at him

Zac: lookin at her...Maybe I guess time will tell. He said smiling
