A couple hours later

Zac- hey

Fatima- hey ( as there was a moment of awkward silence)

Zac- I'm sorry

Fatima- okay

Zac- look, I'm not going to try and justify what I did because I know that I can't. I let my family bully me into that situation with her. They made me think that it was okay and that I was becoming a man. I was taken advantage of and it took me  years to realize. I was pressured Fatima but I wanted you. I was angry about the situation that I was put into and I took my anger out on you and stayed into a situation that I thought was love . I love you and have always loved you Fatima , you were and still are the most important person in my life and I hate myself for ever hurting you.

Fatima- are you done

Zac- I'm so sorry and I hope that one day we could get back to where we were

Fatima - I forgive you Zac , but I just don't think that we will ever be the same.

Zac- just give me a chance to show you that I'm different

Fatima-Zac

Zac- pleaseeee

Fatima- I just don't think I could ever trust you again

Zac- just give me a chance to show you that you can , how about dinner tonight

Fatima- I'll think about it ( she said as Zac nodded )

Zac- I can't believe this place is still open

Fatima - I used to come here from time to time , you know .... after everything ( as there was a moment of awkward silence)

Zac- this was our spot , I just couldn't bring myself to come back here since we ended. Well since I fucked things up between us.

Fatima - shit happens

Zac- I'm sorry ( he said in shame )

Fatima - you don't have to keep apologizing

Zac- i know that I'm going to have to make it up to you and make sure you trust me again. I promise to show you that I'm different now

Fatima- okay Zachary( she said noticing him staring at her )

Zac-damn

Fatima- why you staring at me like that

Zac- because you're still so beautiful

Fatima- thanks

Zac- you're welcome

Fatima- I'll talk to you later, I have to go pick up my son from school
