Fatima's Office

Andi just got to work it's already 8:30 am. Fatima been at work since 7. Fatima saw Andi and she called for her. Andi went straight to Fatima's office. "Good morning Mrs. Taylor," Andi said. Fatima looked at her confused. "Andi, how many times I gotta tell you, you can call me Fatima," she said.

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to be professional," she said. "It's alright, so how did you like the party last night," Fatima said.

"We loved it. Crystal and Kehlani did an amazing job on the decorations and the food. So tell me why you at work I thought y'all was going out of town," Andi said sitting down.

"We were, but Zac forgot he had to show some houses this week, so we are leaving next week," she said going through some papers for this case. "Andi, girl I don't know being married for a year is crazy," she said. Andi just looked at her.

"What you mean," Andi said trying to understand where she's coming from.

"Not like that Andi, I know what you're thinking. I'm just saying I never thought I would ever get married." She stops looking in the stack of folders.

"Zac is not like all the other guys I've dated and I dated some disrespectful ass niggas, but Zac is special to me like when we was at the party I was imagining me telling Zac and everybody that I was pregnant," she said.

Andi looked at her. "Fatima, you have to stop with this okay. Zac will never be any of your ex's. You gotta understand that. He will never hurt you, he actually loves you to much," Andi said. "Now I gotta get back to work, and can you please don't work yourself up about this okay," Andi said walking over to give her a hug.

"I love you," Fatima said. "I love you too," Andi said back. It's Five o'clock and it's time for Fatima to get off of work. She gathered everything she came to the office with and before she locks up somebody calls her name.

"Fatima," the unknown person said. "Yes Hayden," Fatima said sounding irritated.

"How was your day," he said coming a little close to her. "Hayden I'm not gonna ask you again to get away from me. You don't have to be so close to me damn, and my day was good now can you please move," she said as she walks towards the elevators.

"I should warn you that the nigga you got at home will never add up to me," he said licking his lips. She just started laughing as she got in the elevator. Hayden is the UPS delivery driver. He comes by everyday just to deliver packages for the building. Some days when he doesn't have packages to deliver he would show up anyways just to see Fatima. He's a mama boy still living at home with his mama in his mama basement. Sleeping on an air mattress.

Hayden been trying to get Fatima to noticed him ever since she started working there, but she never gave him a chance. Hayden is what you called an annoying little brother because he just doesn't wanna leave you alone until you snap at him. Fatima doesn't think it's a problem to get Zac involved unless Hayden does something stupid.
