Better In Time

"Baby..." The melodic sound of the sweetest voice was enough to pull Zac from his previous nights slumber. He groaned slightly, shifting his weight to the left before peeling one eye open to get a better look at his wife. Fatima smiled, using the pad of her thumb to wipe the escaping fluid from his bottom lip "I'm sorry, I gotta go."

"This early?"

She nodded quickly "I told you I have study group for finals today. I need the keys."

"Keys to what?"

Fatima raised an eyebrow "To your car"

"Wasn't you just bragging yesterday that you have two cars? Take that funky Tesla you just had to have." She grinned at his attempt to make a joke and held out her hand "Babe, not my Maserati, please"

"Keys Zachary."

He sighed and stretched out across the bed before reaching over to his nightstand to grab the key to his Maserati. Before he placed the ring in her hand, he silently prayed over his car and her safety "Baby, I don't ask you for anything. Just please be careful with my car. And please try to do the speed limit. You got your driving groove back and it came with a heavy ass foot."

"I do not have a heavy foot."

Zac grinned and rubbed his chin "So that ticket that came in the mail wasn't you hauling ass on 85?"

"I don't recall but I have to get going" She hoisted her black Telfar bag over her shoulder while simultaneously leaning down to place her lips on top of his.

Zac's now fully alert eyes quickly scanned her outfit and he leaned back, dodging her act of affection "Mm"

"What's wrong with you? You not going to kiss me?"

"You pretty dressed up to go to study group. That nigga must gone be there" Zac hinted at a guy in Fatima's class and study group who obviously had a crush on his woman. "What's that nigga name again?"

Fatima giggled and rolled her eyes "That nigga's name is irrelevant but yes he will be there. And so will six other people, including myself and my big ass wedding ring on my finger."

Zac grinned and palmed her ass bringing her closer to him "As long as you two are together, I'm cool. Study hard baby. You almost there"

"We are almost there." She quickly reminded him with multiple kisses before she pulled away, reminded that she had somewhere to be in an hour. "I'll be back around noon."

Zac yawned and nodded before colliding his head back into her pillow, inhaling deeply. He had an odd habit of shifting to her side of the bed when she got up in the morning to smell the traces of her

"There you go, being weird again."

Zac shrugged "I love you. Go be better baby." Go be better was Zac's simplified version of his want for her to be better than great. Great was the standard, his wife lived above that.

"I love you more"

Once Fatima started her descend down the stairs, Zac buried himself further into their memory foam mattress and pillow top before closing his eyes, already preparing for him to go back to sleep knowing he had at least four hours to himself before she came back and slipped into "TiTi mode." Just about every child in their home called her TiTi, except Amir, he has just turned 4 a few days after being in their home and was keen on calling Fatima mama, to everyone else they were TiTi and Zac.

It was around 9:30 when Zac reluctantly pulled himself back out of the bed and decided to get started on his day. He smiled at her message before shooting a quick response before heading to the shower to freshen up.
