Fatima: He came to apologize for what happened at the restaurant
Zac: I'm the one he needs to apologize to. I was the one that got injured
Fatima: but you hit him first!
Zac: are you defending him?
Fatima: no that's not the point... the point is violence is never the answer
Zac: excuse me? What you do to Deja on a daily basis is not violence??? You smashed Heather's head on the wall too! Fatima you're more violent than I am
Fatima: well Deja deserves some ass whopping, but I did Heather that for you!
Zac: How did he find your apartment though?
Fatima: he said he wasn't going to tell me his source. So, I don't know
Zac; see. The man has a source for everything, a therapist, and now he can just walk into your apartment anytime he wants... cool cool isee
Fatima: Can we not? Please.... We were having a good time. Don't ruin it
Zac: as usual! Shove Zac's opinion and feelings down his throat... Fatima who is the man in this relationship?
Fatima: you... you are the man
Zac; it doesn't feel like it... you never listen to me... and you disregard my feelings
Fatima: I'm sorry if I make you feel that way. I'll do better going forward.
Zac: thank you... and you'll let me take the trash out, fix your car when it breaks down, lay the pipe down ??
Fatima: yessss... I guesssss
Zac: good good... I'm kinda hungry...there's no food in here?
Fatima: boy, I just moved in here. I have nothing for you.. we could go grab some groceries for dinner tho
Zac; or you could give me the food that is available
Fatima: what food? I just told you there's nothing here
Zac: I want some pussy....
Fatima: Zaccccc
Zac: I'm playing.. I'm playing....why do you get so agitated when I mention sex.. you used to enjoy it. I don't know what changed
Fatima: I still enjoy it.... but I'm enjoying my break too...still wanna come grocery shopping?
Zac: yh of course... I'm after you
At the grocery shop, they bump into Karen
Karen: Zac are you okay? How's your head
Fatima: He's clearly fine if he is at the grocery shop
Karen: bitch I'm not talking to you
Fatima: Zac...talk to your baby mama
Zac: Karen apologise to her!
Karen: what? I'm not apologizing for nothing
Zac: Karen apologise to Fatima
Fatima: I don't need any apologies from her... she's clearly bitter. I'm not going to entertain her today. You better be glad I'm in a good mood today... I'm sparing your ass. I'm 2 seconds away from going off on you! Let's go Zac
[Car ride home]
Zac: well you are quiet.. whatsup
Fatima: just tired
Zac; you sure?
Fatima: yhup... whatsup with you and Bryce tho
Zac: we agreed to dissolve the business and split the profits
Fatima: why would you do that?
Zac; cos things have been tense between us after the kiss
Fatima: well.... I don't think going your separate ways is the right idea
Zac: why?? The dude tried to kiss me!
Fatima: I know.. I know you feel violated and I understand that babe...
Zac: not just violated... I'm hurt... I thought I found a confidant in him...you know... Tony and Nate are full of shit and Bryce is more calm, collected and calculated...so I felt comfortable discussing stuff with him
Fatima; yh I get that... but babe letting him go will not be good for us... he knows a lot about the SEC and business in general.
Zac: so what are you saying?
Fatima: that you two put your differences aside and make the business work
Zac: you sure?
Fatima: 100%.. he knows too much to let him go. If he says a word they are coming for your ass! I suggest we invite him to dinner... talk and straighten stuff with him
Zac: (smiling)
Fatima: boy what's the huge smile for... you loved the kiss with Bryce like that?
Zac: hell no... you realized you said "we".. we should invite him to dinner, we should talk to him... we we we I loved that! We over me babyyyyy!!!!!
Fatima: we in this together! You and me
Zac: mannn I love you! You have no idea
Fatima; I love you too
Zac: I'll talk to him tomorrow at the office and extend the dinner invitation to him
Fatima: good!
Zac: oh I was thinking... that you know we have dinner with your parents and i... apologize to them
Fatima; ummm... now is not the right time
Zac: why not? I want to apologize... and start things over with them... you know... do things the right way. I should have spoken to them before proposing to you... I feel its time to talk to them and make things right
Fatima: I understand and appreciate that...but let's give it some time.. it's too soon
Zac: Fatima... are you all in on this?
Fatima: yes
Zac: it doesn't seem that way to me. It's like you have one foot out the door
Fatima: no I don't!
Zac: okay so when are you moving back to the house
Fatima: Zac.. I'm not moving back in with you... we jumped the gun with that and it's very obvious we both need our space
Zac: wow
