It was nearing midday the following day. Zac was sitting with his back against the headboard while Fatima laid on her belly with her head propped on her hands as she watched the tv.
"So you don't have anything to do today?" Fatima ask
"Naw why? You trying to kick me out?" He ask
"Just curious, you're mighty comfortable" she says
"I'm just chilling with my friend, is that a crime" he says and Fatima laughed flipping her body over, looking at him, now resting on the back on her elbows.
"No it's not a crime, friend." She says still giggling to herself
"So what is your definition of a friend Zachary?" She ask
"Us. We're friends." He simply says
"That's not a definition. That's an example" she explains
"What do you want me to explain what friends do-
"And what they don't do that doesn't classify them as friends" Fatima finishes for him
"Well" he begins and Fatima looks at him with a slight grin
"Friends chill, you know look out for eachother. Uhh we care about eachother, you know the shit friends do T, stop trying to play me" he says
"I'm not" she says laughing "So we're friends?" She ask
"Didn't I say that" he says
"Okay so then answer the answer the other part of the question. What don't friends do?" She says and he looked at her finally catching on to what she was getting at
"We different T" he says laughing
"Now we different. Okay friend" Fatima says playfully rolling her eyes
"Well if you think about it like this, friends satisfy each other's needs" he says snapping his finger and Fatima bust out laughing
"Just think about it like that" he says squeezing her thigh and she swatted his hand
"Yeah I'll think about it like that" she says sarcastically. Last night Zac devoured her until there was nothing left. He couldn't help himself, it was like she was calling and he had a craving so he had to quench his thirst.
"You love it, don't be like that" he says and his phone rang.
Fatima looked at the time
"Yo?" Zac answered
"I'm chilling right now- no I'm not at my spot" he says and Fatima listened
"I said I'm chilling what you need" he says "Probably later but I'll let you know" he says rubbing on Fatima's foot.
"Ard" he says before he ends the call
"I'm assuming you're needed elsewhere" Fatima says
"No I'm good." He responds
"Who was that?" She ask "Alaya" he plainly responds
"Oh" she says turning back over to her belly. Zac sensed her energy change and he didn't want it to. He pulled her foot which pulled her body towards him.
"Stop. Get off of me" she says dryly
"No why you switch up like that" he says. Her legs where of both sides of his which her knees toward the bed.
"Let my foot go" she says and he does the opposite. Pulling her more aggressively, now her making her sit up on his lap
"You're mad because she called or?" He ask
"I'm not mad" she says
"Yes you are yo" he says laughing holding like a child in restraint
"I'm not letting you go until you stop being mad" he says as she tried to wiggle from his grasp.
"Tell me why you're mad" he says kissing her cheek
"Let me go Zachary" she says irritably
"Don't tell me you're jealous friend" he says laughing
"You're right, we're friends. So friend it's time for you to go. I think you over stayed your welcome. I don't think your girlfriend-
"Ah naw that ain't my girlfriend" he interjected
"Well your girl, chick whatever she is. I'm sure she wouldn't like you all in my face" Fatima says
"Do you hear yourself?" He ask laughing "Girl, chick? If she's not my girlfriend then it don't matter" he says
"So you're a cheater because your mouth was all-
"Come on man" he says covering her mouth with his hand
"Like I said, I don't have a girlfriend so it doesn't matter what I choose to do." He tells her
"Get off of me" she says trying to bite his palm
"My actual girlfriend loves to play these games and she's trying to hurt me as we speak" he says
"Fatima stop I almost popped you in the mouth. You on that crazy shit really trying to bite me" he says
"Well then get off of me" she says
"I'm not letting you go until you're not mad. If you bite me I'll just bite you at this point" he threatens
"I'm not mad. Now let me go" she says and it was clear she was still mad.
"No you're mad. Friends don't get mad like this" he says
"Well we ain't friends then!" She childishly says
"So what are we because we something. We're always going to be something" he says
"I don't know but you're not my friend" she says wiggling her arm loose just enough to elbow his stomach. He doubled over, letting her go and slapped her thigh as she got off of him.
"Why the fuck you do that? Damn" he says
"Told you to get off of me" she says getting off of the bed and putting on sweatpants she had laying over a furry chair she had.
"Yo you're really mad?" He says watching her as she walked to her bathroom. He hopped off the bed to catch her before she close the door. He was able to stop it with his hand
"Leave me alone Zac before I really get mad" she says
"Bro you really mad at me? Didn't you just have a nigga a day ago?" He says
"Leave" she says looking in the mirror
"You dead ass? Like you literally had a entire boyfriend who you were laid up with and all that type of shìt. You blatantly told me I wasn't your Nigga, you made that fucking cle-
"Zac shut the fuck up" she says to him
"You on some weird shit" he says flagging her
"Well if I'm weird then leave the fuck" she says
"You still don't know what you want after all this time and I'm not feeding into your emotional bullshit. Real shit" he says
"Well don't! Go with your girl and leave me the hell alone" she says and he laughs
"You really crazy" he says kissing her temple before turning to leave out of the bathroom
"Nut ass nigga" Fatima mumbled but Zac heard
"Keep talking shit Fatima, I promise you don't want me to get into you. I'll set you straight right now" he says
"You're still here" she says
"You lucky" he says laughing and pointing at her " Imma leave because you already k-
"I don't know anything but what I do know is that you need to leave" she says. He could only laugh and shake his head while he exited her room.
