Breakout

Chapter 7

"Hot girl summer is officially cancelled," Robin said sitting down on the closet floor in Fatima's house

"Is this how we change the subject now?" Marilyn asked laughing recalling how Danni always says this when she wants to talk about her shenanigans

"Oh oh, what happened now?" Danni asked sipping her margarita. It was Wednesday evening and the girls were hanging out at Fatima's house.

"Oh please let me tell them what happened Robin," Fatima asked grinning

"It's not funny Tima, but go ahead."

"So y'all know her birthday is coming up and so she got herself a nice lil new wig. When it came she took it to her stylist to pluck and bleach right and this was two weeks ago just to give her extra time." Fatima says

"Okay, still don't see how that cancels hot girl summer," Marilyn said confused

"Let her finish," Danni chimed in

"Thank you. So the stylist has had the wig this whole time and every time Robin texts to check on the wig she gets some excuse on why it's not yet ready and being the sweetheart she is she's been giving her grace. Well until today,"

"Well, bitch what happened today?" Danni asked curious

"She was on Instagram and saw the stylist installed Robin's wig on herself and flew to Cabo," Fatima finished laughing

"Oh hell naw, you are better than me Robin cause if that shit happened to me not even Batman could save her from what would happen," Danni said

"Like, how she got money for Cabo but not money for her own wig?" Robin asked perplexed

"Nah the question is what time we leaving for Cabo?" Marilyn asked and they continued to laugh and talk about what they should do next.

"Speaking of the Instant Gram, have y'all seen Zac's last post?" Danni asked looking at her phone

"Uh-uh, let me see," Fatima said reaching for the phone.

The application loaded, and Fatima's eyes zeroed in on a photo that Zac had posted no more than five minutes before with the caption: "Life lately with @TimaTheeStallion in a series of photos 📸 Is this how photo dumps work?"

The first picture brought the brightest smile to Fatima's face. She was mid-spin in the middle of Dior with her eyes closed. She stared at the photo for a while, taking in how peaceful she looked. At that moment, she had felt nothing but peace, and she liked seeing that this picture conveyed just that.

As she swiped through the rest of the photos, she noticed that all of them were taken when she wasn't paying attention. He had captured everything from their trip to St Tropez, dinner at Bacchanalia, the Usher concert, right down to their dinner with her favourite private chef.

The last photo had done it for her.

It was the one picture he took while she was looking and it was of her smiling into the camera while he had his arm around her and was kissing her temple.

"Look at you over there cheesing," Robin teased, nudging her playfully.

Fatima shrugged, a blush gracing her cheeks. "Stop it. Helping him with his bucket list has been really fun for me,"

Danni chuckled, shaking her head in mock exasperation. "How is she so smart and so clueless at the same time?"

"What do you mean?" Fatima asked confused.

"Oh come on, Tima. His whole bucket list is literally your journal." Marilyn chimed in.

"No it's not," Fatima refuted.
