Fatima's POV
Oh this man is so aggravating. I don't know what it is but I know he's up to something. I'm going to let him continue to see how deep of a hole he can dig himself into.
Arriving on set, security was higher than usual. I know it's Bossman's way of convincing me that I am safe which I appreciate.
I dropped my things off in Zac's trailer, I wasn't exactly ready to go back to my own just yet: after setting my things down we both waited outside of the trailer together for the cart to take us to the costume department.
I met up with my co-stars Angela and Danni, in hair
and make up.
"Y'all I feel like Zac is hiding something from me and I'll be damned". I said
"Now Fatima, you know good and damn well that man ain't hiding nothing negative from you. He's probably got something planned" Danni says
She was usually the person I could reason with when I was stressed out. I'm glad she's back in the country, I missed my girl.
I let whatever feeling it was go to the back of my mind and prepared myself to tap into Naomi.
I got to set and ran all my pages as Naomi and Zac as Aiden. The crew was looking for Taj so he could film his scenes. Even though this would be his last season on our show.
"Ms. Wilson, I know after yesterday's events that Jordan asked that you not be on campus while Taj films. You are wrapped for today anyway" one of the crew members said.
I was happy to get off set. I wasn't feeling it anyway today.
"When we get home I need you to get dressed. Wear something nice we're going somewhere" Zac says
Zac's POV
I could tell my actions on the way to the studio had my baby feeling some type of way. But it'll be all worth it tonight.
The plans of having a big party changed I just wanted our close friends there and I had already asked Mr. Wilson for his blessing in marrying Ti.
I dropped her off at the house and ran to Gab's to pick the engagement ring up.
"Yo thanks G, I really appreciate you for picking this up. Will I see you tonight or will you be staying out of it cause of Sabrina?" I say
"I'll be there, I wouldn't miss the moment for Fatima." She says
I hurried back to the house because I didn't need for Fatima to catch an attitude and not want to come anymore.
"Zachary where are we going?" She asks
"Somewhere you look nice by the way. I see you in that dress. The dress is dressing baby" I said
The Penthouse at Mastros
We got to the restaurant and everyone that was supposed to be there was there. I even had the Nanny make sure that Kolby was there and looked perfect for the occasion.
I wanted to ask her the question immediately before I got nervous but Nico calmed me down and told me I should do it in the middle of dinner.
We ate and had a good dinner. Drinks were flowing and it was nice to see Ti let her guard back down which I didn't expect would happen for a while after last nights events.
I asked everyone for their attention.
"First I want to thank all of you for being here with me tonight you know these last six months have been a rollercoaster as I was going through my divorce but that chapter of my life is now closed and now this is for my baby, the love of my life.
Fatima,
I've been trying to find the right words all day but nothing I say could ever really do justice to how I feel about you. So, I'm just going to speak from my heart.
When I met you, I didn't know that someone like you could even exist. Someone who's strong enough to stand tall in the face of everything life throws at her, yet soft enough to love so fiercely and selflessly. Someone who pushes me to be better but still loves me when I fall short.
You've shown me what real love is. Not just the kind of love that feels good on the easy days, but the kind that fights through the hard ones. The kind of love that makes me want to wake up every day and earn it, over and over again.
You didn't just come into my life you transformed it. You gave me something I didn't even know I needed: peace, purpose, and a family. With you, every moment feels like home, whether we're laughing, arguing, or just sitting quietly together.
And then there's Kolby. Watching you love her like she's your own, the way you've stepped into her life with so much grace it showed me all over again why you're the woman I can't live without. You've given me the family I never knew I could have, and for that, I'll never stop being grateful.
(I stop, taking a deep breath, reaching into my pocket for the ring.)
Fatima, I know life hasn't always been fair to you, and I know trusting someone with your heart isn't easy. But I want you to know that for the rest of my life, I'll do everything I can to honor the love you've given me. I'll protect it, nurture it, and cherish it, every single day.
So here I am, on this rooftop, with my heart in my hands, asking you to take it and keep it forever. Fatima, will you marry me?"
I was on my knee hoping that I didn't just embarrass myself by pouring out my heart to her in front of all these people just for her to tell me no.
Fatima's POV
I looked at Zac with tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe this man is proposing to me.
"Yes Zac, I'll marry you" I said
He put the ring on my finger and I helped him off the floor. I know his knees is bad he shouldn't have gotten his ass down there.
I kissed him.
"This why you were acting weird all day? I guess I'll forgive you cause I was sure about to kick you out my house and tell you to go live with Nico" I said
"You was gonna kick me and peanut out?" He asks
"I never said that, I said you. It was gonna be me and Kolby and I would've sent your ass with whatever could fit in your duffle bag" I said
He chuckled knowing I was serious. I would've kicked his ass out in a heartbeat.
"Um well love birds, I'll be taking Kolby tonight so y'all can enjoy your night" Gabrielle said
An:// I'm slowly trying to get back in the groove of writing again. It'll probably be slow but I'm trying to come back. It may or may not be a time jump next chapter. Y'all want them to have a wedding or y'all want a jump?
