Breakout

Chapter 6

Fatima's voice was soft and sultry, as she answered the phone. "Hey," she purred. "I was wondering when I'd hear from you." A hint of excitement and playfulness lurked beneath her words.

"I worked myself harder than I needed to yesterday," Zac admitted.

"How come?" Fatima asked, her voice tinged with curiosity,

A low chuckle rumbled through the line, sending shivers down her spine. "Money haffi mek girl, and I have a best friend that has a petulance for Dior bags,"

Fatima's laughter rang out, "I guess that's true..." she conceded, then continued. "And my birthday is coming up soon."

"T it's like three months from now," he said then continued, "Side bar though, I got another bucket list item we can get through that will help me relax if you're game,"

"Go on," she breathed, her words barely a whisper.

A wicked grin played on Zac's lips as he toyed with her curiosity. "I ain't gon tell you what it is just yet but I will say be ready at three, dress nice and don't wear heels," he drawled, his voice teasing.

"First I always dress nice and Zac, that's not enough information," she protested, but a part of her secretly thrilled at the mystery, to date all of his bucket list activities had been a great time for her.

"Huh—" he said, cutting in. "I can't—"

"You—" he cut the call before she could protest further and leaned back in his office chair. The smile on his face beginning to hurt, but he didn't care. His plan was working, and it felt good. He cut his eyes at the screen again.

At three Zac had picked her up from her house and they drove to the same airstrip they used when they went to St Tropez a few weeks before and today they'd flown to Vegas.

Fatima had been thrilled to find out they were going to the Usher concert, she'd had the biggest crush on Usher growing up and this had been on her bucket list for ages.

The concert was at its peak as the crowd roared with excitement. Zac and Fatima were standing even closer to each other, the sexual tension almost tangible. They exchanged glances, their eyes locking with an intensity that spoke volumes.

"You having a good time, T?" he leaned in close to ask, his warm breath sending shivers down her neck.

Fatima nodded, biting her lip to suppress the desire rising within her. "Yeah, it's amazing!" she yelled over the music, trying to ignore the fire in her veins every time he looked at her. "Usher is killing it!"

She swayed her hips sensually, thrilled when Zac's gaze followed her movements.

Their eyes locked, and Fatima felt like her knees may give out. Oh god, the way he devoured her with his eyes...did he have any idea how crazy he made her? She thought as the opening notes of "My Boo" filled the arena, and they exchanged a knowing smile.

"There's always that one person that will always have your heart" They started singing his eyes dancing across her face,

She smiled looking up at him and sang the next part "You never see it coming 'cause you're blinded from the start"

"Know that you're that one for me, it's clear for everyone to see" They sang as he pulled their bodies move even closer, their hands finding each other instinctively. Their fingers interlock, and Fatima's heart fluttering at the touch of Zac's strong, warm hand in hers.

As the song continues, Zac leaned in, his lips brushing against Fatima's ear as he sings. The sensation sending shivers down her spine, and she let out a soft gasp, her eyes never leaving his as he murmured the next lines of the song, with a playful smirk "I was in love with you when we were younger, you were mine (my boo)."
