Fatima Wilson

"Do you know that this fool wanted to turn down 2 million dollars for the case," My best friend Andi rolled her eyes.

"2 million?" I gasped, she nodded "Sometimes I wonder what these fools are thinking I'm like man just take the money."

"This is what happens when you work with dysfunctional people, you don't attract the best clients." I laughed, she drunk her drink then mine.

I eyed her, "Im sorry I had a long day," she apologized and I shrugged, this girl has a long day everyday. This is why I stopped studying to be a lawyer.

Andrea and I have been best friends since High school, we both wanted to be lawyers but my dad always wanted me to be a dentist.

Andi and I went to Spelman university both to become lawyers but after my 2nd year I had a change of heart and decided to become a obstetrician.

I really enjoy working with pregnant women and babies, my dad wasn't too thrilled about it but eventually he got over it because it made me happy.

"And I don't work with dysfunctional's okay?" she mugged me, she hates when I use that word to discuss her work.

"I'd rather that then digging in woman's vagina's all day." she tried to throw shots at me, I laughed before responding.

"Excuse me but being a obstetrician has a lot of personal rewards.", "Yea and miscarriage, children dying at both, and unfit mothers."

I laughed, "There are two things that make me weak, chocolate candy and chocolate me." she said staring at someone across the room.

"Gary isn't going to like that." I said as she got up, "uhm I'll be right back," she said disregarding her husband of 4 years.

"Your gonna pay for that drink heffa!" I shouted out to her.I sat alone for a while until a gentlemen approached me.

He spoke to me for a little be=it before I kindly told him off, he was a 40 year old who's an upcoming rapper. I was not going too deal with another one of those at all.

Soon after Andi came back and started speaking about the gentleman she ran off to see, I ignored her but played interested for a little while.

"Well on my end you missed, b smooth," I rolled my eyes thinking about his corny rap, "I thought I saw him rapping over here."

"Why do I always miss the good stuff?" just then another gentlemen came up to speak with me, "Excuse me my name is Zac, what's yours?"

I looked up at him and he is fine as hell, before I could speak Andi did that for me. "Well he's polite thats a good start, well her name is Fatima."

"She doesn't want to play any games, she hasn't had sex in six months because the last guy she was with had commitment issues so either you come correct or you dont come at all."

My mouth dropped, I know this girl did not just tell this unknown ass man all my business like that, "Andrea!" I screeched.

"Could you please excuse yourself over there." she got up with a pout, "Thank you." I said once she walked away.

"Hi, Im Tima nice to meet you Zac. I apologize for Andi, she's just very overprotective of me."

"It's cool, thats what friends are for." he tried to make the situation less awkward but I was already embarrassed.

"Nothing she said is true," I lied, "It's alright , as a man I'm usually always fighting that last guys who has almost always left a huge mess."

"Mhm actually gigantic," , "So do I have to be scared." I nodded my head with a smile, I actually might like him.

"I'll take my chances."

"Actually Zac I'm just getting off work and I just came to grab a drink, I'm not looking for anyone right now." Imlet him know, "So youngest gone switch our whole conversation."

"Look- Pause. Mute." he placed his hand in my face causing me to stop speaking with a confused expression.

Yea never mind he's a dick.

Andi rejoined me at the bar, "Why you gotta be so bitter he was kinda cute." she rolled her eyes at me.

"Andrea, you know it's been too soon since Ian." I let her know, she turned her face up at the mention of his name.

"You need to loosen up, have a couple more shots and let Mr.Zac get rid of some of them cobwebs down there." I crossed my legs.

"I'm fine I got my BET and my Snuggie.", "Okay grandma and you probably have some spanks under that dress."

She started talking about herself again and I actually listened to her this time before it was time for me to hit the hay.

As we were leaving we ran into Zac and his friend, "What are you doing tomorrow night" Andi stopped to ask him.

"Uhm excuse me." he looked in my direction, "Be here at 7pm, and don't keep my girl waiting." she said fixing his collar.

"Uh okay, Im gonna kill you." I whispered to her before we left. "You gotta bad attitude," she pointed at me.

I sighed, maybe this date will be fun.
