Madam came over a few minutes after their FaceTime ended.

"You need to start getting out of the house more" Madam says

"Get out of the house and do what?"

"Explore"

"Well, remember the guy that I met on the plane?"

"The one that Ayla calls plane man?"

"Yes, I went out with him yesterday."

"A date?"

"Not exactly, but I honestly enjoyed spending time with him. "

"I don't want you to start shutting him out because I see that you really like him. I know how you are."

"We had a conversation a few minutes before you came. The feeling is mutual and we decided to just let everything fall into place."

"I'm glad, y'all are starting a good foundation. I see that you're actually communicating instead of just brushing things off."

"Yes, I don't want to lose what we're building."

"Why didn't you invite him over?"

"I have Ayla and they've never had a proper introduction to each other. She's just now getting use to being with me, but I don't want to bring him around yet. If it doesn't work between us, she's going to feel a way."

"For some reason, I think that y'all will work out. I've never really had the chance to meet him either, but every time I see you, you're so happy now. Ayla has been begging to see "plane man". Let them be around each other and have a bond."

"I will and I'll have a conversation with her after we go out to eat. She wants chicken tonight."

"Wait til she discovers seafood boils."

"I got her an allergy test. She's allergic to seafood, grass, latex, peanuts, and pollen."

"Damn, what she going to eat?"

"Chicken" Fatima laughed. "She can have other meats, but no seafood."

"How about you order food and invite him over? Y'all can eat chicken together"

"Good idea, I'll ask him."

"Good, I'll talk to you later. Tell me how this family date goes."

"You're annoying, bye girl"

Madam left and Fatima called Zac.

"Oh, I get two calls in one day? This is love" Zac said

"Yeah, I want to know if you want to come over."

"Yeah, sure"

"Bring clothes?"

"Are you inviting me to stay the night?"

"Yes"

"Okay, I'll be over. Do you need me to bring something?"

"As a matter of fact, can you meet me at the store?"

"Yes, send me which one and I'll be there."

"Okay"

A few minutes later, Fatima and Ayla got dressed.

"Where are we going?" Ayla asked

"What if I told you that we are going to see plane man?"

"Really? You said no"

"We can go see him."

Fatima drove to the store. Ayla was sad because she didn't see him when she walked in.
