The two quietly moved around their bedroom as they got ready for their day of work. Fatima said her piece about the whole flower delivery situation, there was nothing else to prove. Brian was a random man who approached her, nothing more. Although the office is a  private it is a public business, so the location was known. Years ago when Fatima first started in real estate with Zac, in the beginning of their career there was always something being sent to the office for her. Zac knew his wife was very attractive, the popularity drew more attention to both.

As Fatima walked into the closet Zac was walking out, colliding.

"Excuse me" Zac says

"You're excused" Fatima says going around him, not trying to feed into the childishness he was trying to start up.

The two got dressed, parting ways to drop everyone off. Heading to the office. They both arrived at just about the same time, Fatima was heading in as Zac turned his car off.

"Good Morning Lady T, how's you're morning going?" Cody ask

"Good Morning Cody, my morning is going good how are you feeling today?" She ask

"I'm great, someone dropped off a fruit edible arrangement I'll grab it out the fridge for you" he says quickly turning the corner and coming back with it placing it on the top of the receptionist desk.

Zac walked in the building and was greeted by Cody, but his attention was on Fatima.

"My fault Cody good morning bro, you good?" Zac ask and Cody responds.

Fatima takes the arrangement back to her office not acknowledging Zac's presence.

Zac placed his things in his office before going to Fatima's. She was eating a piece of fruit and reading the card.

He stood at the door silently watching her and she still didn't pay him any mind. He walked over snatching the card out her hand. Fatima didn't say anything as she put another piece of fruit in her mouth. Zac went over to her desk taking the fruit and throwing in the trash with all the force in his body.

"You're really pissing me off" he says

"I'm in my office minding my business" she says walking over snatching the card out of his hand.

" you want the card so you can call him" he says. The card included a good morning message and a phone number, as well as Brian's email.

"Maybe I do"

"You know what matter of fact, call him" Zac says

"Zac I'm not doing this with you, I have so much to do today and dealing with your bullshit is not one of them" Fatima says

"As you eat the fucking fruit from this nigga, you think I'm playing with you" Zac ask

"Never said anything about playing I literally just said I have to work."

"No it can wait, call your little buddy" He says irritated

"Don't you have something better to do" Fatima says now becoming irritated "like at this point I'm about to call security" Fatima says

"Fatima, keep it up I'm n-" Zac says and Fatima is not overly irritated no longer wanted the discussion to continue

"You know what" she says " I will call him, since that's what you want" she says aggressively taking the card off of her desk and using her office phone to dial the number.
The phone rang a few times before Brian picked the phone up

"Hello this is Brian Croskey" He answers professionally

"Hi, Brian this is Fatima. I was calling to thank you for the roses and the fruit basket, that was too kind of you" she says

"No it's not a problem, I hope it brought some light to your day." Brian says

"Most definitely did, I really appreciate it" Fatima added and Zac was actually shocked that she was deliberately in his face on the phone with him.

"It's nothing especially for a beautiful woman like yourself. I was hoping I could actually meet with you to tal- Zac came over and aggressively ended the call, Fatima grinned.

"So if I grab you from over this desk, then its me getting arrested"

"Well I guess you better make better choices then huh Mr. Taylor" Fatima says looking at her screen logging into her computer.

"Why the fuck did you just sit there and call him, you're disrespectful as fuck" Zac says

"I'm confused. You asked me to call him and I did. Now what's the problem?" Fatima ask curiously as she looked at from her screen.

"Let something else come to this office from him, imma end all this shit" Zac says

"You have so much energy this morning" Fatima says
"But how about I end this. Don't ask me to do something if you're not prepared for the repercussions. Now you can leave, I have a meeting." She says dismissing him.

"I'll be waiting after your meeting is over" he says standing at the door

"My calendar is blocked for today, have a great day Mr. Taylor" she says
