The next day had come and Fatima made her way to meet Monica after the showing of one of the properties.

When she walked into the restaurant, Monica had her phone to her ear as she talked.

"Babe I'll call you back as soon as I leave here" Monica says as Fatima slid into the booth.

"Mrs. Taylor how are you? I ordered a drink for you" Monica scooted over some just to hug Fatima and the two returned back to their seats.

"Thank you, I need it" Fatima says as the waitress was actively walking over with it

" I'm doing good!How are you? How's the house?" Fatima ask

"Everything is good. I was just talking to my husband and he's talking about remodeling something in the house. I don't know, something else to give me a damn headache" Monica says with a small chuckle while she shook her head

"He's not the only one, Zac is trying to talk me into this deal as if I don't already have a lot going on" Fatima says

"Talking about them acres in Cali?" Monica ask and Fatima nodded sipping her drink

"He mentioned it to you?" Fatima ask placing her glass down

"No he didn't have to, my husband won't shut up about it" she said referring to her husband.

"I didn't know he was in on it too, Zac keeps saying Erin" Fatima says

"Yeah he said that him and Erin met to talk about it a few weeks ago. He said Erin did mention Zac." Monica says

"Is he going to California next week?" Fatima ask

"Anytime Demetrius can find an excuse to get on a plane he will do it" Monica says laughing referring to her husband. "I guess he already agreed to be apart of it because when he mentioned it to me he was just talking about budgeting." Monica said

"I didn't even know your husband was into real estate" Fatima says

"He's more so into investments, him and Erin have done a few things together" Monica explained

"I've never directly worked with Erin but he does have  his hands in a lot. All good things though" Fatima says

"I'm sorry give me one second, this man won't stop calling me" Monica says ripping her phone from her purse seeing her husband calling again.

"Babe. yes? I told you I'm out right now" she says into the phone and Fatima quickly checked her phone seeing a picture of Mason sent by her mother. He was sitting on the couch watching tv with his ankles crossed like an old man. Fatima laughed at the picture.

"Yeah why?" Monica says into the phone and then she looked up seeing her husband walking into the restaurant with flowers in his hand.

"You didn't think you could come to our spot and I wouldn't find you" Monica's husband said with a warm smile to his wife.

"Aww baby" she says beaming as he pecked her lips handing over the flowers

"You're interrupting my lunch date but T this my husband Demetrius and babe this is-

"Fatima?" She heard just as she looked up. The two eyes met and Fatima seen a familiar face.

"Demetrius?" She says in shock looking at one of her old college flings. Well he was definitely more than just a fling. There wasn't any tension but the energy was most definitely different.

"How have you been?" Demetrius asked apprehensively as he looked at her

"Wait y'all know eachother?" Monica ask trying to read the situation
