Zac&fatima unseen

Aftermath

The car ride was quiet. As Zac pulls up to the hotel he looks over at Fatima. Zac: Baby can we talk about this later I don't want dinner to be ruined with your parents. Fatima: it's nothing to talk about right Zac? Fatima said sarcastically. Fatima: turned and looked through her phone as Zac parked. This is going to be a long dinner, Zac mumbled under his breath. Fatima: I'm trying to let it go and you want to say slick shit like Jace is not in the car. Zac sucked his teeth and put his head down. He started to say something but just got out the car. He walked around to help Fatima out then went and got Jace out. When they walked in Fatima's mother stood and met them. Sonya: right here guys. Hey baby you look beautiful she said to Fatima. Fatima smiled: thanks mom, how are you. Zac attempted to hold Fatima's hand as they walked to the table and she slapped his hand down. Frank : there's my princess, hey baby girl you look beautiful. Fatima: hey daddy. Frank: grandson!!! Give your pop a hug. As everyone embraced and got the pleasantries out the way, everyone took a seat. Zac is doing his best to make small talk but it's painfully obvious Fatima is upset. Jace: I need to potty tima, Zac gets up to to take him but Fatima stops him. Fatima: I'll take him I need to go anyway. Zac attempts to help Fatima out her seat when she pulls away from him. Fatima: I got it Zac I'm pregnant not handicap. Once Fatima walked away, her parents looked at Zac. Frank: shes giving you a run for your money hun lol. Zac: Frank you have no idea. Sonya: whatever it is son, fix it. Zac: I'm trying, trust me. Sonya : dinner was fantastic but son, when we invite you out we expect to pay. Zac: your beautiful daughter is going to be my wife, and she's pregnant with my baby, that's all the payment I'll ever need. Sonya: aww Zac that's so sweet, Fatima isn't that sweet.? Fatima: sweet as cherry pie mom, Fatima said as she stands to get Jace ready to leave. Both Frank and Sonya turns and looks at Zac , well son good luck, it looks like you're going to need it, he laughs. Sonya gives him a kiss and they say there goodbyes . Fatima: mom dad see you tomorrow love y'all. Zac picks up Jace and grabs Fatima's hand. Fatima: Zac I'm good. Zac: Fatima let me just hold your hand please, your pregnant and got these fucking high heels on, Fatima: Zac I got it, damn. Zac grabs her hand and they walked out the restaurant. Once in the car they headed back home. Jace dosed off and Fatima is in her phone. Zac: so.... Dinner was good. Fatima: yeah it was. Zac: your parents seemed pleased. Fatima: they did. Zac: I'm surprised how well Jace behaved. Fatima: Zac what are you doing? Zac: what are you talking about. Fatima: your forcing this conversation. When I wanted to talk, you didn't, when I had questions, you had bullshit answers. Instead of being honest and just saying "yeah babe my dick got hard for the whore" you made me seem like I was an idiot. You didn't want to admit that going over there was bullshit. You never listen to me when I tell you about these bitches. Then you get mad at how I react. You do realize if you just would have listened to me and not entertain her nonsense we wouldn't be having this argument right now! Zac: baby she's my tenant I had to check out the situation, but your right she did use this as an opportunity to get me over there. Fatima cuts him off, she always do, and when I tell you it's happening you tell me I'm hormonal, or I'm reaching. Zac could sense she was getting upset and wanted to dead the argument. Zac: Fatima how can I fix it. You mad, I get it, I'll do better. Fatima: Zac don't brush it off like it's no big deal, Zac: Fatima I'm not, I'm asking a question. You want to argue all night and I'm not doing that. I'm sorry and asking you how can I fix it. Fatima turned towards the window and stayed silent. Zac: Fatima!!! So you not going to answer me? Fatima: If I have to tell you how to fix it then we have a bigger problem. Zac shook his head and turned the radio up. As they pulled into the driveway Zac grabbed his sleeping son and preceded into the house, Fatima followed stopping at the couch and taking her shoes off. She walked to the freezer and grabbed the ice cream. Zac walked back down stairs after putting Jace to bed. Zac: so are we going to fix this or is our weekend going to be shitty? Fatima: Zac it's fine, the gender reveal is tomorrow and I want to have a good day. Zac: so we not going to talk about it? Fatima; Zac I'm trying to let it go, you should too. I said what I said. Next time just listen to me when I'm speaking and stop assuming I don't know what I'm talking about. Zac was getting pissed off. Now she wants to let it go. All evening he had to deal with her emotions behind this now it's fine. Zac: whatever man I'm going in the basement you need anything before I go down stairs? Fatima just looked at him and sat back down.
