Fatima: Love, Family, and Career Part II

Chapter 17: Back at it Again

Zac and Fatima had been all over each other.  They decided to try and have another baby, but of course, that meant having a lot of sex.

It was a Thursday morning, they had just had sex and now rushing in the shower to get ready for work. The doorbell is ringing. Fatima jumps out of the shower, puts on her robe, and goes downstairs to open it.

"Good morning, Pam. Make yourself at home, I have to finish getting ready," Fatima said as she runs back upstairs.

"Babe, you had to choose this morning out of all mornings to be long-winded. I have a really important meeting at 9:00," she said putting on her clothes.

"Well, at least you will be in a good mood," Zac joked. He also had to meet a client in Fayetteville, GA, and with this Atlanta traffic, there is no way he was going to make it on time.

They are both dressed and ready. "How do I look?" asked Fatima. "Do I look well put together?"

Zac looks her up and down, "Perfect!"

They run to the nursery to kiss Z and then downstairs. Pam had made them a cheese and egg biscuit. "It's not much, but I know ya'll are in a hurry and I didn't want ya'll to leave on an empty stomach," Pam said as she handed them the biscuit and coffee.

"Thank you so much, Pam. Z is upstairs still asleep. If you need anything call me..."

Pam said sarcastically, "I know, I know. Call you first, if I can't reach you then call Zac. If it's an emergency, call everyone on the emergency contact list, after calling 9-1-1. T, I've been doing this for how long? Go, have a good day at work."

"Alright, bye."

Fatima's POV

Fatima gets to work with 5 minutes to spare. She gets all her paperwork out of her office and meets Andi in the conference room for the meeting. It's a meeting with some investors.

"Good morning, Fatima," said Andi.

"Good morning, Andi."

The meeting lasted for about 2 hours. Afterwards, Fatima joins Andi in her office.

"Girl, what do you think?" Asked Andi.

"I don't know, we may need to take some time and think about it."  Said, Fatima.

"Ok, that's fine. T, what is up with you? You've been coming to work glowing and happy."

Fatima blushes. "I can't get Zac off of me. You know I told you we decided to try for another baby. Well, let's just say we haven't skipped a beat. This negro had me screaming this morning, and almost made me late for work."

"Oh, Zac is putting it down."

"A little too much, but girl I'm getting tired."

"So, are you going to tell him?"

"I don't know. He is enjoying himself."

Zac's POV

Zac made it to his appointment, he was a little late, but he made it up to his client. He offered them a deal they couldn't refuse. It was a $20 million property with 10 acres of land. He couldn't wait to get back to the office to tell Jake. Jake didn't think he would be able to do it. Not that he didn't have faith in his business partner, but because it was a tough sell.

He is back at the office. He stops in Jake's office.

"My man. Congrats!" Said Jake giving Zac a dap.

"Thanks, it was a little tough. I knew I had the wife sold, I just needed the husband on board," Zac said.

"I wish I had something to toast with," said Jake. "Let's go get some drinks after work, we could also bring our ladies."

"I'll ask T if she's up to it. She might be too tired from this morning, but I'll ask her."

"What happened this morning?" Jake asked unknowingly.

"I teared that ass up," Zac said smiling and motioning his hand like he was smacking her ass.

"Oh gosh, I didn't need to know that." Jake said laughing, "Go do some work man."

"You could learn a thing or two, my brother," Zac said as he heads out of the office.

Zac went back to his office and texted Fatima.

To Wifey: Hey babe, I did it. I sold the property I was telling you about.

To Hubby: That's my man, I knew you could do it.

To Wifey: Well, Jake wants to take us out to dinner to celebrate. Just him, Andi, you, and me.

To Hubby: Okay that's cool, let me see if Pam can stay a few more hours.

To Wifey: Okay, love you.

To Hubby: Love you, too.

After work they all meet at this Italian restaurant, Jakes treat. They all enjoyed themselves and then head home.

Lake Taylor

They arrive home and thank Pam for staying over. Baby Z is still up playing in the playpen. So, they both sit in the living room and play with her before she goes to bed. As soon as they put her to sleep, they go to the bedroom to take a shower.

"Stop Zac. I'm tired."

"Babe, can I get a quickie?"

"Zac you are acting like an animal."

He starts making animal noises.

"Boy, move so I can get out of this shower," Fatima gets out and puts on a mumu dress, and gets in bed.

"What the hell Fatima? What do you got on and where did you get it from?" Zac asked looking at her.

"Madea gave it to me."

"Oh, it looks like something Madea would wear," Zac said getting under the covers annoyed. "Wanna block a nigga from getting some, just dress like your 7-foot-tall granny, that would definitely stop him."

"Babe, don't be like that. I just need a break tonight."

"Well, you won, now good night." They both go to sleep on opposite sides of the bed but wake up in each other's arms.
