Fatima: Love, Family, and Career Part II

Chapter 2: The Getaway

It's been a while since the loving couple has had a date night. Fatima's 6 weeks have been up, but they have not had sex yet. Of course, Zac is ready to slap it, flip it, or rub it down, but Fatima keeps stopping him and blaming it on the baby.

"Preston, man. I don't know how much longer I can hold out. It's been at least 4-5 months," Zac said to Preston as they sit at the bar drinking a beer.

"That's a long time, man," said Preston. You ain't thinking about stepping out, are you?"

"Hell Naw. Tima would kill me. I just need to get my woman alone. I love baby Z, but she is clock-blocking."

Preston laughs. "How about this? I got some tickets to see New Edition. You can have them."

"I can't take them. They are for you and the wife; besides she will kill you if she finds out you gave them away."

"I'll explain it to her. Look at it as an early wedding gift."

"For real?" asked Zac. "Thank you. I appreciate it. Look let me go make some calls. I'll hit you up later."

Zac and Preston dap up and leave the bar.

When Zac gets back to the house, he goes straight to the man cave to make his calls.

"Hey Zac," Fatima says as she comes into the man cave. "I saw your car, but then you never came in the house. Is everything okay?"

"My bad. Everything is good."

"Well, dinner is ready."

"Ok. I will be there shortly."

Since they have been living together. Zac has never left home or came home without kissing the girls, so Fatima figured something was up.

A few moments later Zac goes in the house to get ready for dinner.

"How was your day?" Fatima asked Zac trying to make small talk.

"Well, I met up with Preston and went to get some drinks."

They finish dinner and continue to make small talk. Then Fatima cleans up the kitchen and Zac takes Zuri upstairs and finalizes his plans.

He returns to the kitchen trying to hug up and kiss on Fatima, but she ain't having it.

"T, what's wrong with you?"

"What are you hiding, Zac?" Fatima asked pulling away from him.

Babe, I was working on some plans for us." Zac responded.

"Well, why couldn't you just say that?"

"Fatima?

"What Zac?"

"Nothing. I made plans for a weekend getaway. We can have our village look after Z. I've already contacted them, and they said they would be happy to help."

"I don't know Zac about leaving Z for too long."

"I knew you would say that and that's why I'm not asking. I've already scheduled everything."

"What?" She gives him this look.

"You heard me. T' we haven't had sex in months and although I love spending time with you and Zuri as a family, I need some adult time with her momma. Alone, no interruptions."

"Ok. So, when are we leaving and for how long?" Asked Fatima.

"Saturday until Sunday. Just one night. See you wouldn't be acting like that if you were taking care of big daddy," he laughs.

"Whatever, Zac."

"That's ok. This weekend I'm going to tear that ass up."

Zac slaps Fatima on the ass and goes upstairs.
