It was the next morning (Saturday). Fatima spent the night at Zac's house while Dee and Shanice slept at her apartment.

Fatima and Zac are currently in the car headed to a post-birthday brunch date with Fatima's family. It's about an hours drive and they're not even halfway there. The whole ride has been silent thus far because both of them are in their feelings... well mostly Zac.

|Zac's car|

Fatima decided to be petty because Zac hasn't said more than two words to her since the day started. She turned off the Hip-Hop music that Zac was listening to and connected her phone to his car Bluetooth.

🎶Got a white boy on my roster
He be feeding me pasta and lobster
He just hit me up on tuesday like, "What you doing bae?
Let me take you shoppin'" (brrp)
I told him, "Well, I'm a little busy" (damn)
He said, "Damn, I'm in your city (fuck)
But anyway, it's okay, hope you have a good day
I'ma send you 'bout eight fifty" (ooh)
Then I told him, "You treat me so well"🎶

Fatima knows that this song irritates Zac to his soul. She looked at him holding back her laughter as she rapped along to the lyrics.

Fatima: 🎶I got hoes (might just be your nigga) IN DIFFERENT AREA CO-

Zac: (turned it off) keep playing with me yo.

Fatima: (chuckles)

Zac: do you think that this shit is funny?

Fatima: (shrugs) nope but at least I got you to talk so a win is a win.

Zac: whatever.

Fatima: baby seriously, can we please talk about whatever is bothering you before we get to the restaurant. The last thing I want is to have my parents all up in our business.

Zac: they won't know shit about our business, long as you don't say nothing.

Fatima: (scoffs) you clearly don't know them. They're instantly gonna sense that something is wrong from the moment I say "hello" because they're that good. Anyway, if I did something wrong please tell so that I can apologize.

Zac: (sighs deeply) I didn't like what you did this morning.

Fatima: babe you have to be more specific than that.

Zac: okay... well I was telling you about my run-in with the police etc... and I'm sure you know that this is a very sensitive topic for me?

Fatima: yes I do babe but I'm still failing to see what I did to make you stop talking to me.

Zac: (scoffs) yo are you being for real right now?

Fatima: yes!?

Zac: Fatima, telling you about the incident felt like I was re-living the whole ordeal. It made me emotional as fuck and I just wanted to relieve some of that stress but you deprived me of that.

Fatima: (sucks her teeth) Zachary you cannot be serious! So you're telling me that your lil attitude is because I refused to have sex with you this morning?

Zac: you damn right that's what it's about!

Fatima: first of all, I did not DEPRIVE you of anything! Last night we had like four rounds and then you wanted more this morning!? Baby I love you, I really do but I'm a person, not some fucken machine! And I don't know how many times I have to tell you that my body is not your playground!!! (pissed).

Zac: (sucks his teeth) so now you're flipping the script?

Fatima: bro what?

Zac: you're taking my trauma and making it all about you! And then you have the nerve to say that you're considering me and my feelings but we both know that's pure bullshit.
