Zatima: We really doing this...The Sequel

Forever.

Fatima POV
I cant wait to have my family and friends over this evening for Thanksgiving! I don't really see much of them anymore since I have moved here. I wish I had a strong relationship with them...but I just don't. And that's okay. My mom is my best friend. My aunt is everything to me. My dad is my rock. I am his babygirl. And then there is my older sister and brother. My parents have been my idols in love for longer than I can remember. We definitely have our issues. However I can't wait for them to come.

I also invited all of my friends over for dinner as well...including Zac. Ever since that night we have agreed to be strictly friends. He has his own situation he is dealing with and so do I. There is a little bit of hope that he does come tonight.

Tiffani-Boss...I have the seating all done!

Tiffani says as she bounces into the kitchen to where I am finishing up making the macaroni.

Fatima-and you are sure you followed my plan and put people in certain spots?

Tiffani-yes mam!

Fatima-perfect...well Tiff I know that you don't have any family here and I know how strained the relationship is with them...so I left an empty seat...

Tiffani has a huge smile to appear on her face, and she runs over to give Fatima a huge hug.

Tiffani-Thank You! Thank You!

Fatima-it's really my pleasure, I don't know that I would do without you. I am so thankful to have you in my life.

Tiffani has tears that start to form in her eyes. She quickly stops them before they fall.

Tiffani-Ms. Wilson I look at you as my big sister, and it has been a dream true to work with you and be close to you.

And with that they are interrupted by a strong pair of arms wrapping around Fatima waist. And a kiss on the side of her head.

She looks up to see Kyle, and smiles.

Kyle-what time will your family be here?

Fatima-um probably in the next hour or so...you nervous?

He chuckles as he sits on the counter top.

Kyle-do I have to be?

Fatima-well only when they start drilling you.

Kyle-T...that's the thing...what are we?

Tiffani awkwardly leaves out the kitchen on her phone. Fatima puts the macaroni in the oven.

Fatima-um...I Kyle...we are just really good friends.

Kyle pulls her waist into him.

Kyle-T I am ready to be more than that with you, we've been doing this friend thing for a while...have I not proven to you that I am worthy of your love?

Fatima looks down at her slippers. He lifts her chin up.

Fatima-I mean...I'm not saying that...you seen how I reacted when I thought you were with another woman at that restaurant last month.

Kyle-can we not rehearse that? I told you who that was, and she even told you who she was...we proved it with childhood pics of our moms who are sisters.

Fatima chuckles

Fatima-I know...I know. Kyle it's hard for me to trust.

I don't know if Kyle thinks I'm a dumb bitch or what, but if he knows me then he knows, that you fool me once but you can't do it twice, while he says that's his cousin...should I trust my intuition? ...I mean he's handsome and I enjoy his company...but I still have my reservations.
