Zatima:We really doing this?

Break the Ice

Zac POV

I decide to go visit my boy Ashton. I really need to clear my head and even though Ashton and I just met not too long ago, we have hit it off really well and it seems like he has a lot of wisdom.

Ashton-here is a beer bro

We sit down in his man cave with a couple of beers and the game on the tv screen, but honestly my thoughts just keep running wild about Fatima.

Zac-I just don't understand women bro

Ashton chuckles and takes a drink of his beer and shakes his head.

Ashton-bro I feel you

Zac-like how do you just sit up and lie straight to my face?

Ashton-I mean Zac...honestly bro what did you expect for her to say?

Zac-shit I don't know....maybe that you went to go check on this nigga to see if he was okay

Ashton-Zac let me ask you something if your ex Amber was in ICU how would that make you feel?

Zac sighs and shakes his head

Ashton-see...how can you blame her bro?

Zac-I get that but the things that Fatima told me that nigga did to her was just insane...I had to beat his ass...she just needs to let that shit go

Ashton-listen I have been knowing Fatima for quite some time now...and she is a good woman she has a really big heart, she hates confrontation and she does not like to see anyone hurt

Zacs side eyes him

Zac-damn you know a lot about my woman don't you?

Ashton just smiles and shakes his head

Ashton-I have seen the way she has treated my wife over the years

Zac-yeah she is pretty great

Ashton-and you could have been honest with her about that night too

Zac-listen I know...I know, my mind was just all over the place...I honestly just did not even know how to tell her

Ashton-so you both need to talk this shit out

Zac-you are right bro....

Ashton-I know

Zac-but bro I have a question

Ashton-shoot

He says as he gives Zac another beer and opens up one his self.

Zac-Bro my lady said that you told Ang that you came to the gym with me the other day?

Ashton eyes get big as he takes another drink of his beer.

Ashton-um...w-well

He says as he starts to stumble over his words, Zac looks confused.

Zac-um what?

Ashton-listen bro, do not tell T but like I just needed a minute away from Ang. You know how you said earlier that women can be a lot....well it was one of those moments.

Zac-oh...okay...I mean like yall good though right?

Ashton-y-yeah we are good...I really love that woman

Zac-good bro...well shit I am trying to get like that with T

Ashton-Zac keep putting in the work and you will get there.

Zac-Preciate it bro.

Fatima POV

I decide to go to the store and cook dinner tonight for Zac and I...We really do just need to talk. The girls were right. We need to learn how to communicate with each other before just going off the deep end. I text him to let him know to meet me at my house at 7 tonight
