The Tale Of The Taylor's

Chapter 11

Zac pulled back up to the house with fifteen minutes to spare. He was taking Fatima Go Kart Riding, to Nikolai's Roof in Downtown Atlanta to eat, to an ice cream shop, on a walk in Centennial Park, and, lastly, to the Georgia Aquarium.

After he dropped the kids off to his parent's house, he went to the mall. He went and brought Fatima a promise ring, new shoes, two new purses from Gucci, and Gucci slides to match the purses. He had intentions on pouring out his heart today to Fatima. He wanted to ask her to be his girlfriend.

Zac has always been in love with Fatima. He just put his feelings on the back burner due to her being with Ian. He was also with Karen at the time, but he couldn't help but to be in love with his best friend. When he was finished with shopping for Fatima, he went back to his parents house and got himself dressed. He took another shower and ordered his family food for the night.

When Zac pulled back up to the house, he called Fatima outside. He stood at the car on the passenger side with her favorite flowers in his hand, her favorite candy, and a large life size teddy bear. He had ordered the bear from GiantTeddy.com a few weeks back, before he had left to play against the Miami Heats. He was going to give Fatima the bear for her birthday, since her birthday was a week after Italy's. Since the bear was already in the truck of his car, he decided to give it to her today.

Fatima : - walking out the house - Hi Patchy. -she says as she walks down the steps looking at Zac-

Zac : -shakes his head - Good afternoon Halitosis.

Fatima : - walks up to him - I see your still with your lame ass breath jokes. What is all of this for Zac?

Zac : -staring at her- I'm trying to make it up to you. It's an apology for me being an ass Ti.

Fatima : -crosses her arms- You don't do shit like this, just to apologize Zachary. It shouldn't take for us to have an argument or for us to be at odds with each other, for you to do something like this.

Zac : -blows out a breath - Fatima, I'm really fucking trying here. Can you just go with the fucking flow for once in your life? You saying all this extra shit, and I'm just trying to cater to you.

Fatima : -rolls her eyes- Catering to me Zac, should really happen all of the god damn time. Not when Zac feels like he should do it. Or when Zac knows that he has fucked up.

Zac : Fatima, you fucked up too. So we both fucked up, but I'm the one whose trying to fix the situation. You haven't tried to do shit, considering- never mind.

Fatima : Considering what Zachary? Cause I don't see where I fucked up at.

Zac : Nothing Fatima, can you at least try to be happy at the moment?

Fatima : (flashes a fake smile) Sure Zac.

Zac : -shakes his head- Can you at least try for real? Not this fake ass shit that you're doing right now.

Fatima : -smirks- This is so sweet of you, and you look nice Zachary. -smiling- Are these for me ? - she asks as she points to the red roses in his hands-

Zac : - smiling back at her- Yes, Ti they are. -handing her the roses- Baby, you look so beautiful. I'm loving this blonde on you.

Fatima : -giggles- Thank you. I look even better in this chain.

Zac : -looking at her neck- Fatima, is that my Cuban link on your neck?

Fatima : -laughs- I believe it's our Cuban link. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is also mine.

Zac : Ti, who told you to touch my chain? You know how much I paid for that? And I thought that the saying was, what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours.
