Act Like You Love Me - Zatima | COMPLETED

Zachary Taylor

As I was running I noticed Fatima standing there playing with her fingers, she doesn't that when shes nervous.

"I'm off the clock, what do you want?" I asked harshly. She's been treating me with no respect so I'm returning it.

"I don't want you to go," by the tone in her voice and the look in her eyes you could tell she had been crying.

"Well it's too late." I took off running again, she called after me. "ZAC PLEASE, im sorry." I turned just to hear her apology.

"Sorry or really sorry?" I asked, she put her tongue on top of her teeth and made a face.

(That one look Fatima always making when she mad, y'all know 😭)

"Really sorry? I don't know what's the difference." She was confused, see her apology is fake.

"Regular sorry means that you'd say whatever it took to get me to stay." she shook her head, "No not that one,"

"Okay really sorry would be you standing here and letting me say whatever it is I want to say without interrupting me."

"That one sounds kind of rough- I gotta couple more miles to run- Okay! really sorry, really really really sorry."

I mentally smiled, I took a deep breath before letting my emotions out.

"Your self centered, you're obsessed with your work and your judgmental."

I could see her eyes watering but like the strong woman she is, she didn't let them drop.

"Guilty as charged." She admitted wiping her eyes.

"You brought me out here to pretend to be your boyfriend and fool your family."

"Now don't get me wrong Im working out this character you want me to play."

"But if we're gonna trick people into believing that were a couple, two people that actually care for each other, i'm not the person that has to do the acting, it's you T."

I do actually care for Fatima, and IU have true genuine feelings for her.

However she refusing to let her guard down, I don't know who this Ian man is but I hate him with a passion.

He fucked her up for the worst and now she's too afraid to even let someone else in.

I don't actually think she was always mean and selfish, she had to be turned that way.

By the looks of it I can see she was raised well, had a good support system and has no problems being on her own.

The thing is she doesn't need a man nor does she want one but a good man is one of her deepest desires.

She just won't show it because her heart is already getting put back together.

"So why were you all over Ris at the pool?" she questioned with her head down.

"I wanted too make you jealous T!" I admitted, she gave me a look. "That's childish."

"This whole thing is childish Fatima, look why not be honest with your family."

"Its obvious they love you to death." I told her, "Be honest with yourself!"

"You're so scared too loose somebody, you won't let yourself care about anybody."

"Okay you know what, this was a really terrible idea."

"I would've love to have been here with you for real this weekend, it would've been nice."

"To not have to act," , "Well you won't have to act much longer, we'll tell everyone the truth at the party and be done with it."

She must've forgot the part where I quit- ykw never mind.

"Okay, ill meet you back at the house, got a couple more miles to run."
