The Photographer

C51.

Now that all the gifts were open and all the family phone calls are done with, Fatima decided to clean up all the wrapper and gift bags that was left on the living room floor.

Smacks her ass.

"My ass did nothing to you Zachary." Fatima said as she stops what's she's do and looks at him

"Yes it did, it was just sitting there staring at me."

Rolls her eyes "You would say anything just to touch my ass." 

"I can't help it that body you got on you belongs in a art museum lady."

Playfully Pushes him "Stop playing Zac i'm just tryna clean in peace."

"I'm deadass babe." He says pulling her by her waist and looking at her

Kisses his lips "Thank you."

"No thank you."

Tilts her head "why are you telling me thank you?"

"For everything. i know we have yet to get into any serious arguements but you do put up with my shenanigans, you care for our daugther, you put a smile on my face you just make me happy overall." Takes her hand "You've been the best thing that ever happened for me in a long time and we haven't been together long but i can see myself with you in the long run."

Smiling "Did you just say our daugther?" 

"Yes our daugther, I've came to the realizion that I have to share her now after all she acts like she's your kid more than mines ."  

"And it took you a while but i know it's hard so thank you for sharing her with me."

"Anytime." He Kisses her forehead 

"I can also see us still being together in the future married with kids." Fatima says with her hands wrapped around him

Smiling "Oh so you really wanna marry me."

"Yeah, why you sound so surprised."

"Well Yoni kept asking me about marriage and I thought it was strange so I thought maybe she overheard you talking about it or something."

"No. She randomly asked me if I wanted to marry you and I thought she was just being curious so i said we've only been together for four months, we haven't talked about marriage so I wasn't sure if you wanted to get married."

"And you thought i wouldn't marry you?" Zac asked surprised 

"I don't know what to think marriage wasn't something we talked about yet and i don't know where your head is on that."

"Well as i said before i could see us being together in the long run which means me putting a ring on your finger lets hope its before kids."

Pulls back "What you mean hope Zac I'm not playing with you, you gone get blue balls playing with me like that."

"I'm just playing." Zac says getting serious quick

"You better cause that's a treat."

"What?"

"You heard me." Fatima said turning to walk away

"Nah cause I ain't like that, you gone carry my kids even If I have to put a ring on it first." Zac said pulling her back

Fatima just stood there as they look into eachothers eye all she could of done in the moment was smile.

"What you smiling for i make one joke which you wasn't okay with but you okay with letting my kids go field trips down your throat." Zac asked

Hits him "I'm done talking to you."

"Wait wait stop. Back to what we were saying before about marriage i'm not just saying i would marry you because I feel like that's what you would like to hear or that it sounds good, I'm saying it cause that's how I feel and what I plan on doing."

"Does Zachary Taylor want to change my name to Fatima Taylor."

"Hell yeah."

As they stood there holding eachother and smiling Yoni came running into the living room making Zac head turn quickly as he heard her feet.

Stopping her right in her tracks "Why are you running." 

"Gigi's on my ipad daddy." 

"That's not what I asked, I asked why are you running."

"Sorry." Yoni says looking up at her father 

Growing up Zac always got in trouble for running in his grandparents house hazel had rules and one of them were no running if you wanted to run go outside, in her words that's what she had a big backyard for.

Now that he's older and had his own kid he stuck to it but having a child who's always excited yoni tend to forget. In the moment Fatima tried her best not to look at her cause She would cave and let her be but when Zac is parenting she likes the Let him be and not intervene.

"It's fine I get your all excited but you could hurt yourself with all that running that you be doing." He told pulling her into a hug 

Rubbing his shoulder "You sound like somebody mama." Fatima says looking at him 

Still on face time Hazel bust out Laughing at what Fatima said he give her a look before taking the the ipad from Yoni.

"I don't find anything funny."

"Fatima said it before I did cause I was about to say the same thing."

"The both of you don't talk to me for the rest of the day."

"That's fine with me I don't live with you but Fatima on the other hand do, I know she got her own place but we all know you can't leave her alone for too long."

"That's not true like I know this women is beautiful, she's gorgeous and half of the time she be ready to kill me but I'm not stuck on her like that, do I look like I mess with crazy girls?"

"Boy you ain't even seen crazy yet." Fatima said hitting him behind the head 

"See what I mean." He looks back at the ipad 

Hazel just shook her head.

"Anyways I'm on the phone cause your daughter called she wants me to asks you if you can come over."

"I'm not sure ma I think Fatima wants to stay in today she's cooking and she wants us to have a little movie night together watching Christmas movies."

"Oh nice tell her put away a plate for me."

Walking to the kitchen "i will." 

"Okay that's all I wanted to ask I have to make another call tell Fatima I hope she likes the gift i got her I wasn't sure what she'll like." 

"Well she's right here." Turns the phone to Fatima who's grabbing a water from the fridge 

Taking the phone from Zac "I did, thank you so much."

"Your welcome honey. you and Zac enjoy your Christmas I gotta get going."

"You too, tell Mr Liam I said merry Christmas."

"Will do."

Hazel ended the called. Fatima and Zac went about there day enjoying their Christmas as a family coming down to night she grab the remainder of the cookies that Yoni and her made along with some other snacks to go with their family movies night.
