Breakout

Chapter 5

The next day Fatima was meeting up with the girls for drinks at their local spot. She was the last one to arrive and got to the bar as Danni was going on about the gym,

"Long story short, I haven't been to the gym since," Danni said taking a sip of her drink.

"Wait, why you ain't been to the gym?" Fatima asked sitting down.

"So this one time I was using my phone at the gym and this one guy said, 'I guess it's fingers day,',"

Fatima doubled over laughing, "I'm surprised I didn't have to bail you out of jail 'cause those are fighting words."

"Took everything in me not to deck him," Danni said laughing.

"Enquiring minds want to know how your dinner was last night," Robin chimed in, shifting the conversation away from Danni's gym drama.

"It was kinda awkward at first then it was fine then..." Fatima paused as she was hit by a vivid flashback from the previous night.

"Don't make me smack you. Then what?" Marilyn urged.

"ThenIhadadreamthatwekindakissedandhemademecomeagainsthisleg," Fatima rushed out.

"Girl what? You speaking in tongues now?" Danni asked not catching what she said.

Fatima shrugged, attempting a casual she did not feel, "After he dropped me off I had a dream that we kissed and were making out and he made me orgasm on his leg,"

Robin spit out the water she was drinking, "Shut the fuck up," she said shocked and the other girls mirrored her astonishment with dumbfounded expressions.

"I know you fucking lying," Marylin exclaimed.

"Run that by me one more time," Danni said not quite sure she heard correctly.

"You heard what I said," Fatima said "Can we talk about something else please?"

"Fuck, no," Danni and Marilyn said in unison.

"Fine," Fatima said blowing out a breath, "What else do you want to know?"

"So what does this mean for you guys now?" Robin asked.

"To be honest I don't know. We didn't actually kiss or anything but it felt so real and I just don't know," Fatima replied blowing out a breath.

"Can I be candid?" Marylin asked.

"When are you not?" Robin chimed in.

"Right," Danni added, nodding in agreement.

"Whatever," Marylin said rolling her eyes, "I know you want to be with Zac but you're scared to go there with him,"

"Of course I'm scared. If him and I go there and it doesn't work then I'll have ruined the most important relationship in my life and I can't do that," Fatima replied.

"Or if it does work you two could have something really beautiful. I think it's worth the risk." Robin said softly.

"What are you scared of really?" Marilyn pressed, leaning in.

Instead of saying what really scared her Fatima said, "You know how Zac is. He's like that one neighbourhood dog always humping everybody's leg,"

"I thought you were the leg humper." Danni teased.

"Oh, fuck you," Fatima replied and they fell into fits of laughter the conversation switching to other things before Zac walked up to their table, a playful smile on his face.

"You okay?" he greeted, his eyes fixed on Fatima.

"You okay?" Danni said mocking Zac's voice, causing the girls to erupt in laughter once again.
