When It Works

A Tails Tell part3

Knock knock.... Fatima was awakened by the sound of a little light knock on her door. Kamron pushed it open completely before falling over and standing back up.

"Hey man" Fatima said before sitting up and throwing her legs over the side of the bed so she'd be able to pick him up. Looking around her Kamron said one of the few words he knew "DaDa" with a sad look flabbergasted by his words she lightly pushed him down "go find him punk" Zac was in the closet putting in his clothes for the day and heard the exchange. "Stop fucking with my kids Tima!" He yelled startling both Fatima and Kamron. "We'll go get him up off the floor he looking for you anyway and I pushed that big ass head out!" She laughed walking towards the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

"Yo mama being a hater Kam? Don't trip ima push her ass later" Zac picked up his dramatic son who laid on the carpet as if he'd been body slammed to the mat and couldn't move. Kamron was in fact their dramatic child he didn't cry much but he had his ways of getting your attention. Zac went into the kids room and grabbed an outfit that was similar to his and came back to clean him up and get him dressed for the day. Fatima was still in the bathroom doing whatever she does for an hour, when she finally emerges she is faced with two Zac's!

"Oh god it's two of you" She made fun admiring both of them.

"And there's two of you! Let's not forget" he shot back quickly

"You're right so what are y'all up to today?"

"Nothing it's Sunday chillin and watching tv all day. What about you" Zac asked

"Nothing I'm following y'all around, you won't be using my son as a Chick magnet" she said jokingly

"Gorgeous the whole female population in Georgia knows we're engaged unless there is another you out there I doubt any woman ever approaches me" Zac laughed as did Fatima. They'd become Atlantas Power Couple goals and no one wanted to get on their bad side. No one knew of their secret but they knew not to fuck with them. The house was a madhouse the kids were all over the place Chris, Dre, Marcus and Troy were yelling at the TV. They'd bet on the game and it's a mess. Demetrius and Stasha walked in with the kids in tow. Zay ran up to Demetrius

"Can you help me with my Nintendo switch like you did when you were in Philly? Zay asked causing Stasha to give him a confused look

"Yea yea give me a second lil man I got u" Demetrius says hurrying himself out of the situation

Stasha joined the women in the kitchen and stared at Keisha for quite sometime before everyone paused and stared as well.

"Everything good here?" Fatima asked

"Yea it's all good" Stasha said

"Perfect!" Keisha added with a smirk

Fatima walked upstairs and called out to Zac to follow her. He walked upstairs with Aria and Khloe both in his arms for some reason both of them wanted to be under him today.

"Wassup gorgeous?"

"You need to talk to Demetrius, Stasha look like she bout to cut keisha fuckin throat"

"That's they fault. Tima i don't care my sister knew that man was married. What she fuckin him for?"  Zac said not really caring but didn't want any bloodshed he agreed. Before he could leave they were interrupted by Troy who apparently had something in his mind.

"Yo, this shit just hit me my bad for busting in like this. But I'm sorry I swear I ain't think it through til just now" Troy said without taking a breath

Zac sat the girls on the bed and listened "ok go ahead"

"The night Devon took Tima, you told keisha I had the code, instead of typing it in for her I gave it to her. I never thought bout it til now. Only me you and her had the code."

"So what you saying is I don't have to kill you?" Fatima asked seriously but smiling

"Tima I really wouldn't do that. I was so concerned with helping get you back I followed behind Zac so I wouldn't have been able to type in any code for a ransom payout anyway. I would've had to tell someone" they are all thinkin now.

"So Keisha set this up? Where the fuck would she get them niggas?" Zac questioned something just wasn't adding up so he called Keisha up.

"Sis just please tell me the truth don't lie to me-" she cut him off

"Yes I've been sleeping with Demetrius I know it's bad but I think I love him" She said dropping her head

"Girl don't nobody give a fuck about y'all affair but Stasha. Karma comes when it wanna. Who did you tell there was half a million dollars in the safe?" Fatima asked frustrated

Confused Keisha looked at brother and cousin then at Fatima "I told nobody o swear on Zay I didn't"

"Don't fucking lie Troy gave you the code and Zac gave you the amount and ironically months later we're hit" Fatima walked closer to Keisha but stopped by Zacs hand before their skin touched.

"I swear when I got the call from Kareem I went into the office I opened the safe, no sooner than I started counting out-.....stopped by her own recollection she yelled. Shit!!!"

"What?" Zac asked noticing that same look he gets when he realizes he's made a mistake

"Trae came in and said you'd taken care of the problem and it was no need for the money to be moved. As I started to put it back Zay was whining he said he'd put it back. So I left out" Keisha said

"That still doesn't explain how the robbers got into the safe when only we had the code" Troy stated

"It does in order to close the safe you need the code as well or else the alarm would sound" Zac said thankful it wasn't his blood that betrayed him.

"Exactly, I used poor judgement in giving it to him. He told me he knew it but only used it once. He had a compelling story and Zay was screaming I just blurted out the code and left. I'm sorry Zac and Fatima" There was no question in their hearts so they chose to believe keisha.

"We've only been back close two years I wouldn't jeopardize losing you again over money or a man Zac. I adore the bond you and Zay share I need my family." Zac hugged his sister and dapped Troy for telling him the mistake he made.

"Let this be a lesson apparently we all are too trusting so next time if you the only mufucka wit some information keep it to yoself. Even if it's one of us that needs it" Zac said before leaving out the room with the babies following close behind. Aria taught the twins to slide down the stairs on their stomachs. It caused Fatima to wince and squeal each time but they seemed to enjoy it and made it down safe without harm each time. Once they made it downstairs Stasha and Demetrius were arguing. Mel had that death stare as she watched Keisha come down the stairs. Mel walked towards Zacs study and Keisha followed without a word.

"Ut oooohhhh" Fatima said to keisha

"Come with me" keisha pleaded

"Hell no! Just agree and sound really sad but aware of your actions. Now let me go before I get in trouble wit yo ass" Fatima said breaking loose of Keisha's hold. They'd become real sisters. Keisha went in to talk to Mel and Zac pulled Demetrius outside to hear his spin on this affair.

"What the fuck nigga!"

"I know man this so fucked up" Demetrius said shaking his head

"Nigga I almost killed you and her thinking y'all set me the fuck up" Zac said with a clinched fist more mad at the fact that this mess would fall back in him especially with Stasha being as close to Fatima.

"Kill me for what? What the fuck bro? I had to back since the yard! I wouldn't even think of it. You have helped me too much" Demetrius said both confused and defeated

" long story but I'm glad it ain't you! Now let's deal with this nigga trae!" Zac said shaking hands with Demetrius. They entered the house and lil meech ran up saying that Demetrius phone had died.

"Ayo stasha let me see yo phone meechie killed my battery" she handed him the phone and he opened it. Much to his surprise he saw a text from Trae

"What thee fuck" Demetrius said to himself as he showed Zac
Trae 🤞🏾:
We need to get out of here. I think someone figured us out! I don't care I want to be with you. They let my bestfriend get killed. So it's whatever but I'm out!
