"what is this about karen? you say you don't want zac, we have a great talk about solving our problems for kaz and now she's talking to me crazy and being disrespectful something she has never been so what is it really?"
karen sat across from fatima in agony, it wasn't that she necessarily wanted zac but each time she saw him with his family a part of her stung.
she wanted so much with him and watching him and Fatima live it, her dream, it recked her. but she couldn't tell fatima that, why would she? what would that do?
at the end of the day they're happy and she is to when she wants to be , so why can't she let him go?
"fatima i don't mean harm, I just hate for kaz to be left out. I didn't see your text so I assumed which was wrong on my end."
"ok , yes but the calls? the text? the disrespect what have I ever done to you? from the jump I've been kind and respectful."
fatima couldn't recall a time she came at karen first or without being provoked. it was always karen bothering her.
fatima didn't know karen envied her , she always assumed it was about zac but karen wanted a life like fatimas .
she had her friends, her first love & a beautiful family and not to mention that 3.6 carat diamond ring that zac spent nearly 5k on.
"listen fatima, it's been so hard for me lately. im getting a divorce, my husband is leaving me for my best friend and I have no one."
she didn't understand why she was telling fatima all of this but she needed someone, she has no one left and it hurts her.
the only one who was there to listen to her frustrations and rants was kazia, and she saw how that was working out so she can't do that.
"I was happy, well I'm trying to be but looking at you , with my life. not my life but the one I'd dreamed of, with the people I thought I'd forever have."
"you have my friends , my family , zac , and all i have is kazia and guess what? you have her too. it's like no matter what I always loose."
"i just wanna be happy, but I can't because I'm hurting so deeply and I have no one." karen wiped her face noticing fatimas sympathetic look.
"karen im so sorry," she wanted to hug her but didn't know how, "do you mind if i?" before she could finish karen practically launched into her arms.
she held karen as she cried and didn't mutter a word, besides letting her know kazia loves her and she has to be strong for her.
"thank you," karen said after a much needed cry session, "I'm sorry fatima, truly I'm trying to change. I promise you I am,"
"im starting therapy soon & I promise kazia will be back on her best behavior." , "thank you karen, have a better day love."
she watched karen gather herself and leave their home. "damn her ass finally gone," zac appeared from the back room.
"don't do that," fatima shot him a look, her mom glare. "what? now you team karen," he said , she couldn't help but chuckle at his tone.
"no babe but she's going through some things maybe we should tone down a bit on down talking her. kazia still needs her mother to be stable, it's hard being a single mom."
fatima slipped, she was hoping zac didn't hear that last part. "single? yo her ass is married." she didn't respond just grabbed her phone.
"what you know that I don't?" he moved closer, "Come on bae tell me, I'll do that thing you like with the tongue."
"with the tongue?" she repeated , he nodded sticking his tongue out. she giggled, "bae no she needs to want to tell you on her on."
he smacked his teeth, "I guessss," he dragged like a toddler. "I need me a glass of wine," fatima said as she stretches.
