"Fatima I agree with that one thousandddd percent! But do you understand what you just did!?" Zac ask and Fatima turned around to look at him
"Fatima? Baby. No" Zac says looking at her
"Za-
"Fatima no"
"Zac what?" She ask. She could feel his disappointment radiating from his tone.
"T it was another way to deal with all of this, a more civil sit down no-
Zac's phone began to vibrate in his pocket just as Fatima was starting to feel bad about her decision.
When he picked up the phone it was Angela and Fatima leaned in to see the caller Id. She squinted her eyes at him.
"Hello!" Angela's voice boomed through the phone
"Yeah what's u-
"I called to tell you about your fucking crazed wife" Angela says and Zac became alarmed. He watched Fatima restrain herself and hold her tongue. He was thankful, he didn't want a shouting match.
"Angela watch your mouth about my wife" Zac says sternly with Fatima sitting back looking and listening.
"No! No your fucking wife came over here and fought me in front of my son!" Angels expressed loudly in distress " She better be lucky I didn't-
"Angela let's keep this to a minimum with the disrespect about my wife. You've already been disrespecting my family too damn much and I'm not into the business of disrespecting females. So I suggest you move around and go about your business. I'll apologize that it happened in front of your son but I'm not going to excuse her actions." Zac says and Fatima took a mental note. "So I'm not going to ask you, more so tell you to watch how you speak on my wife and my daughter and all of my damn kids for that matter." He says trying to keep his energy down but he was truly sick of her and been sick of her.
"Ask your wife... about that shoulder that should've been her fucking face" Angela says tauntingly in the phone. Fatima reached over and ends the call.
"You never had to answer that call" Fatima simply says "Like at all" she adds
"You're right, I didnt have to... but I did just like you didn't have to go over her house to do all of that!" Zac says to her and Fatima just stares at him without saying a word. Fatima realized he had her back against Angela but knew he was upset about everything she had done and he surely didn't like the fact that she was wounded in the process.
"If you can explain to me thoroughly why that was necessary I won't say anything about it." Zac says
"That bi- woman tried me one too many times Zac!" Fatima says catching herself, she was trying to tune her anger. Zac stood just listening.
"Let's go to the beginning of the timeline before all of this, she was disrespectful. She was disrespectful to our marriage and I let her slide!" Fatima says beginning her defense as if she was a young girl trying to prove her point to her father.
"Then why are you on my daughters phone!? Why are you talking to a child and doing all that extra shit! You're a grown ass fucking woman and you saying this and that to my daughter? Absolutely the fuck not!" Fatima to her very last breath with her last word coming out and taking a breath.
"I don't fuck with the disrespect either. From the son giving Mel that shit, them both saying fly shìt trying to pin that shit on her. I don't fuck with none of that shit but I'm not taking Messiah with me over to their crib to slap the son. Then you come back with this big ass cut on your shoulder, we probably need to go see if you need stitches or not." Zac says shaking his head.
"Too old for the fighting T. You just had a baby 5 months ago. Like just put all that into perspective man forreal" he says "then-
"Oh God" Fatima says exhaustedly listening to Zac go on
"You damn right Oh God." He says addressing her attitude in that moment
"Wassup with your mouth?" He ask
"What are you talking about Zac?" She ask
"Shut the fuck up?" He repeats "That's how you talking to me? Like that's what you on?" Zac ask with his neck extended out at her as he makes his point.
"I have never told you to shut the fuck up" he says to her and Fatima shares no response
"Correct me if I'm wrong Fatima. Have I?" He says
"Nn-no no you haven't-
"So then why the fuck are you talking to me like that? Like what's your issue, where's the respect for your man in that? I don't get that man" he express to her "Talking to me like I'm nothing"
"No no baby. That was a mistake. I-I didn't mean to do all of that with you" she says trying to cuddling up in his space rubbing the sides of his face
"It's like you get mad and you treating me like it's fuck me, like I did some shit to you" says
"It's never fuck you, well atleast like that" she says holding his face and kissing his cheek. " I promise it's never fuck you. I'm sorry baby" she says now kissing his lips repeatedly.
"Please don't be mad... please don't be mad at me baby" she says giving quick kisses to his lips
"I'm sorry" she says with an innocent tone trying to lock eye contact with him. Continuing to kiss him and he wouldn't return the kiss, she knew she had upset him.
"Kiss me back" she whined like a little kid shaking her legs
"Fatima, I'm not playing these games with you and your mouth. I'm not tak-
"Taking no disrespect. I know baby I'm sorry. Seriously I just blanked out I'm sorry" she says kissing him again
"and that shit with Angela T that shit ain't cool"
"I know! It won't happen again you know how I get. I couldn't take it." She says. When she reflected on her way back home she was angry for two reasons. One being that Angela continuously showed disrespect but two mainly being that she was able to let Angela get her out of character. She felt that she had done some personal growing with her anger but during the whole Melody and Devon situation she felt herself internally fighting herself on how to respond. She lost that personal battle when she flipped out, Zac knew without saying it that Fatima had reached her breaking point. He knew she tried her hardest but Angela won. But he was still very disappointed, rightfully so. Not only for her physical actions but he was holding her accountable and taking his role in her personal journey of anger management seriously. He knows what his wife is capable of and what he's done in the past that disrupted her peace, he knew he had to be supportive on her journey.
Zac stood looking at her as she pleaded.
"Babe I'm serious. I know I didn't have to but-
"There's no buts T. You have to stop allowing people to get you out of character and you're able to do that because I've seen you do it! I don't want you out here looking crazy just like you don't want that for me. We represent eachother and to be honest it's really not about me it's about you. You're a walking brand and the last thing I want is for you to be the reason your brand is tarnished." He says
"Yeah" she says "You're right" she adds playing with her hands
"I'm serious babe" he says picking up her head and finally kissing her back
"And the next time you tell me to shut the fuck u-
"Okay okay then just stop talking" she says kissing him through each word and he slaps her ass, she jumps a little with a slight grin.
"Let go of my lip" he says
"Mmm mm" she says as he caressed her ass firmly
"Stop you're on punishment and you need to get that shoulder together" he says and pouts with her head to the side
"Yeah, see ya Mrs. Taylor"
"Wait! Where you going?" She ask
"Me and Mason about to watch the game" he says and she sucks her teeth
