"You can hear anything in this house. I didn't know that you were up" she said
"I've been up. My hearing increases when you say things now. You don't need to work out right now. I'm not saying that you can't, but no doctor will clear you to work out. Plus, you look fine. You're so beautiful."
"You be saying everything to make me feel good."
"I don't say things that make you feel good. I'm just being honest. I love every part of you. Your face is my favorite." He brought her in for a hug.
"Thank you." She kissed him on his lips.
"You kissing me again. I told you about that last night."
Pauletta laughed. "You play so much. These 6 weeks ain't nowhere near up."
"These weeks going to fly by. I am really enjoying us loving on each other. It doesn't happen often, especially after a baby."
"It really doesn't. I'm so grateful that I have you."
*upstairs*
Fatima was still sleep. She didn't plan on waking up til at least 12. She was up for most of the night. She didn't go to sleep til 5 A.M.
*The Taylor House*
Nobody was going to work. They all decided that they needed to just relax for a day after everything that happened yesterday.
Zac dropped the clothes collection titled "Zatima". He put his phone on silent so he wouldn't get any notifications. He was nervous.
Currently, Zac is still sleep. Gladys and Samuel were still in their bedroom. Both of them just woke up.
"I'm still tired as hell" Gladys said as she stretched
"Go back to sleep then"
"I can't. I just feel like getting up."
"You mad at me or something?" Samuel asked
"No. Why'd you think that?"
"You slept on the other side of the bed. You were 8,000 feet away from me. You always be up under me, but it was different last night."
"I'm not mad at you. I just wanted to sleep over here."
"I know you. You're mad about something. What is it?"
"We can talk about it later"
"You already want to say it, so why not just make it now?"
"I wasn't mad, but I was frustrated. I was thinking about our kids."
"What about them?"
"They both moved in separate directions. Jeremiah is out there, but he's lost. I can't help him anymore. He has to figure it out on his own. Zac is leaving, and it feels like he's leaving me too."
"I can only speak about Zac. He's not leaving you. He's growing up, and he's ready to have his own. We've given him a lot of things that he'll take with him. Zac will probably be over here often. He loves us."
"I know. I miss him being little though."
"Is this your way of asking me if I want to have another baby?"
"I can't push another baby out, so that ain't happening. I just miss it, that's all."
"Mhm. Come over here so we can go back to sleep."
"I'm up now. I can't go back to sleep."
"Let's go to the grocery store then."
"Hell no." Gladys rolled over and put the covers back on her
"That's exactly what I thought." He laughed
They ended up falling asleep. Zac ended up waking up.
He was laying in bed. He grabbed his phone and opened it. He started scrolling through Facebook. He seen a bunch of people reposting his clothing line. He was happy. He looked at his Shopify account, and he sold out of all clothing. He ended up making $24,000 in one night. He sold all 400 items.
Zac was so happy. He ended up getting ready for his day. He knew that his parents were sleep, so he didn't wake them. He decided that he was going to go and celebrate himself today. He walked outside. He seen an envelope tapped to his car. He took it off and looked at it. The note said:
Don't do the most when you enter your car. I have something for you.
Zac laughed and he opened up his car. There were blue balloons on the inside of the car. Zac smiled. He seen a white piece of paper on the dashboard so he grabbed it.
"I'm so proud of you, babe. You sold out at 2:25 this morning. Everything is sold out. I'm so happy that you dropped your first collection. I'm glad that you gave it a chance, and succeeded. All 400 items sold out in 2 hours, and 25 minutes. I hope that you see that you are needed in the clothing world. I can't wait to celebrate you as you grow. Congratulations!
You'll probably try to call me when you see this, but I'll be sleep. I made sure that you were nice and sleep while we were on the phone. I love you baby, and I'll say it a million more times. IT'S ZAC DAY!"
Zac opened up the box. It was an 8' cake with congratulations written on it. Zac took the balloons in the house along with the cake. When he walked into the kitchen, he realized that there were gifts on the table that said "congratulations". He wasn't going to open them until they got up. He was so happy.
He made his way to the Wilson residence. He rang the doorbell and Denzel answered the door.
"I'm so proud of you" Denzel said
"Thank you. Everybody is about to make me emotional today."
"You should be emotional and proud. You made a big move and succeeded. I know that you came here to lay with your girl, so go ahead."
Zac laughed. "You know me so well." He walked upstairs and opened the door. He got in the bed. Fatima smelled him. He laid down and she got right under him. They went back to sleep.
*2 hours later*
Fatima and Zac ended up going over to the Taylor house. They ended up taking Jr so that Pauletta and Denzel can get some rest.
