"Hey baby, wassup." Zac greeted Tima by grabbing her bag, "Hey Zachary." She spoke with a huff. He looked at her.
"You okay?" She nodded, "Just had a really long day, but how was yours?" She questioned following him to the couch.
She sat down taking off her heels and he grabbed her feet in his lap. "Oh shit my baby got her feet did looking sexy,"
He bit her toe causing her to laugh and pull her feet away, "Luther! Stop it." She laughed. "My bad baby I can't resist."
"But my day was alright, I took the girls out to lunch, shopping and shit then dropped Zyla off with my mom and Zyelle off to yours."
"Oh okay, what happened did they want them?" He nodded, "Then I just chilled here." He explained as he rubbed her feet.
"Well I went to the mall with my girls and we saw your babymother." She said to him, he turned to her quickly.
"Okay lay it on me what happened?" He asked expected the worst knowing their history. "Nothing, just her upset that Kazi calls me mommy."
Zac smacked his teeth, "Man God himself can come down and tell her to stop calling you mommy and she won't so go head." He spoke.
Fatima nodded in agreement, "It wasn't that what made me feel some type of way, it was a comment she made towards the end."
"She asked me to tell you to come get the stuff for Kasi's birthday which I said 'we will' to." Zac nodded trying to see what her point was.
"Then she said 'oh it's fine he's been coming by himself for a minute now, you don't have to.' So I just wanna know."
"How many times have you fucked her since we been married?" Fatima asked taking her feet off his lap.
Before he could respond there was a knock on the door, they looked at each other. They both got up and Zac opened it.
It was Karen, he sighed and moved from the front behind Fatima with his hands rested on her waist. "Well hello to you to babydaddy."
"Wassup Karen." , "Oh don't be so cold now y'all all happy and holy behind my back." Fatima said to he both of them.
"Fatima, don't do this infront of her." Zac said almost immediately, "Just like y'all don't do y'all fraternizing around me huh?"
Karen looked between the two, "I just wanted Kazi to come see her dad but now's not a good time I guess."
"There's never a good time for you to ever show up to my house Karen but yet here you are every weekend, holiday and birthday."
Fatima spat out, "Where's Kazi?" Zac asked, "In the car sleeping," Zac grabbed her keys and went to get Kazi.
Fatima and Karen basically had a stare off, "So how long have you been fucking my husband?" Fatima asked with a glare.
Karen chuckled, but when she saw Fatima was serious she dropped her smile. "You serious Fatima?"
"Girl Zac and I are not having sex and haven't had sex since Kazia was made." Karen told her. "So why did you imply that?"
"That's not what I meant, I was saying like we can do coparenting fine we don't argue or fight and when you come it always seems like an awkward situation for Kazi."
"I'm not saying you can't come because I don't mind like for me it's fine." Karen reevaluated her choice of words.
Fatima nodded, "Fatima Zac is a good man I promise, he's never even tried anything with me. We barely make eye contact."
"Trust me when I say we are both fully over that relationship. And he loves you! Like that's all he talks about literally."
"Anytime I see him or any of the meet up's he's talking about what you doing, cooking, wearing anything he's in love with you."
Fatima looked at her and just nodded, "I just wanted you to know that the old Karen is gone I promise."
"I'm not trying to sabotage anything that makes my baby happy, because she's all that matters to me." She said.
"Same here and thank you for the change of words, I know we usually have bad encounters but someday it'll have to change and it could be today."
"Surely, I don't want to be 50 years old arguing over who her kids call grandma and granny." The ladies laughed.
Fatima looked over at Zac seeing him purposely take long knowing they were talking. "He's taking all day." Karen added with a laugh.
"Also I don't mind Kazi calling you mommy, to be fair I was a little jealous in the beginning because mommy is like that safe word."
"At first we were both mommy and now she's calling me mama and I feel like she's growing up on me but she's still your little girl."
Fatima frowned never wanting to know how that feeling felt, she wanted Zy and Z to be babies forever.
"I get it, I'll talk to her about it and hopefully work something out that makes us both feel happier." Just then Zac walked up with a sleeping Kasi.
"Damn babe I thought you had fell asleep too." Karen and Fatima laughed at Ti's joke. "Hmm, got jokes I see?"
"And you think it's funny? Baby ask her to rub your feet." He pushed past Ti, into the house and made his way to Kazia's room.
They laughed again, "It was nice seeing you Karen, he'll drop her off whenever y'all discuss." , "Nice seeing you too! Have a nice night."
Karen left and Fatima closed the door just as Zachary reappeared in the living room once more. "I'm proud of yall , mainly you."
"I knew you were faking." She said referring to the getting Kazi out. "Yea I mean when I heard yall talking I knew it was needed."
"And baby I haven't had sex with her in years, I promise you that." He said, "I know and I'm sorry." She said.
"I need you to trust me baby, every time we go one step forward, you knock us three steps back." Fatima nodded.
"I promise to do better." , "We gotta do better baby, as a team." He pulled her close and kissed her lips.
