Fatima Wilson or Tima is what most people call her or T but her family and friends can only call her Tima or T. She was born and raised in Philadelphia. Once she got older she decided that she wanted to do things her way and not her parent's way. She graduated High School the top of her class and she became the most successful lawyer ever. She's just only 35 years old and most 35 year olds don't even know what they wanted to do, but Fatima she wanted to be somebody.

She met Zachary Taylor at a coffee shop one morning. It was actually a good thing she was late for work because she wouldn't have gotten the chance to talk to him.

She wasn't paying attention to where she was going and she bumped into the unknown person. "Shit," she said bending down and picking up her phone that she dropped. The guy coffee spilled on him and she didn't noticed until she was looking at him.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. I'm actually late for work and," she kept on going on and on nonstop until the guy said something.

"It's no big deal it's my fault as well because I wasn't paying attention either, my name's Zachary by the way" he said holding out his hand.

Fatima shook his hand and she felt embarrassed. "I'm sorry can I pay for you another coffee, that's the least I can do and here," she handed him her business card. "You can call me at this number so I can pay for your shirt to get clean," she looked at him.

"Um ma'am you don't have to do that", he said giving her the card back. "It's just one shirt. I got plenty of other shirts like this at home and I have a washer and dryer," he said.

The people that was behind them was getting kinda frustrated. "Can y'all get out the way people have places to be," one angry customer said.  They both turned around and saw a line of people agreeing with the lady. Fatima stepped aside and they finished their conversation.

"I didn't catch your name beautiful," Zac said smiling at her. Fatima was looking him up and down. Y'all do not wanna know what she is thinking right now. But anyways Zac is standing about 6'2 with waves in his head, an all black suit on, with his brown chocolate sexy self.

"That's because I didn't throw it," she said laughing. "Haha you trying to be funny," Zac said mugging her. "My name's Fatima," she looked at her Apple Watch and she realized she's already 20 minutes late to work. "Um I'm sorry we have to cut this conversation short, but I'm already late for work," she said walking to the door.

Once she got to the door she opened it and she turned around and said "and I'm sorry about your shirt and your coffee," she didn't even give him enough time to say anything back because she was already out the door.
