I woke up early so I could get an early start I wanted to do something special for Zac. He wasn't able to say goodbye to his mom so I wanted to have a small thing at our place for him. First I needed to go pay Jeremiah a visit so I can get Zac moms ashes if his ass still had them.
I know if I told Zac where I was going he wouldn't approve of me going so I was going to just surprise him. I left him a note and told him I would be back in a few
I pulled up to the projects and everyone was out already smoking and rolling dice. I felt like fresh meat getting out the car.
Old man: Hey sweet thing (whistling at me)
Fatima: Fuck off old man
Old Man: Oh you got a mouth, feisty just like I like them
I rolled my eyes and kept going
I made it upstairs I had to say a quick prayer before knocking on Jeremiahs door. So I wouldn't have to jack his ass up for stepping out of line or talking crazy
Knocking on the door
Jeremiah: Who the hell knocking on my door this early, shop is closed right now
He opened the door
Jeremiah: Well well to what do I owe this pleasure to have Mrs. Bougie at my home.
Looking around where's your fiancé
Fatima: He's not here and I wanted to talk to you myself.
Jeremiah: About what
Fatima: I would like some of the ashes so Zac could have something to remember his mom by
Jeremiah: And why would I do that he don't deserve shit.
Fatima: Have you ever thought about the hands your brother has been dealt but yet ya'll put all the blame on him for not wanting to be around ya'll. Take some accountability your the oldest
All ya'll do is take and take and give nothing in return
Jeremiah: Zac is a grown man he made his own decisions
Fatima: Not at a young age so I am coming to you nicely give me some ashes
Jeremiah: Fine, I will give him some only because I know I fucked up I was just trying to hurt him
(A female voice) Babe what is taking so long
Connie came to the door
Connie: What is she doing here
Jeremiah: None of your damn business
Connie: What do you mean you are my business
Jeremiah: If you don't get the hell out of my face
Connie: fuck you and this bitch
Fatima looking around because she know Connie wasn't talking about her
Fatima: I'm gone let that slide because I know you're not talking to me
Connie: You the only other person standing here
Fatima didn't even say anything she just hauled out and slapped the shit out of Connie. Slapped her so hard she left a five finger imprint on her face
Grabbing her face in shock
Connie: So you just gone let her slap me
Jeremiah: She told yo ass to go on but you never listen
Connie stormed off
Jeremiah: Her ass needed that she talk too much. You know you're one tough woman I see why Zac likes you. You tolerate no disrespect
Jeremiah went and got the ashes and handed them to me.
Fatima: Thank you
Jeremiah: I just want to say sorry for everything I know I disrespected you for no reason. I can tell my brother really loves you. I can see that he changed and I am happy for him. Can you tell him that I am sorry and that he won't see me for a while.
Fatima: I will tell him where are you going
Jeremiah: I am going to go check myself into rehab so I can finally get my life together. I didn't realize how bad I was until I seen my mom laying in that hospital bed. It really fucked me up and I don't want to end up like her.
Fatima: I hope you get all the help you need
Jeremiah: I hope so too and hopefully once I do Zac will be able to forgive me.
Fatima: I will tell him what you said thanks again
I really hope he actually get himself together
I called Tony, Bryce, Andi and Angela to have them come by the house later. I told them it was a surprise and that Zac did not know. I went by Wal-Greens to print off this photo of Zac and his mom when he was younger he had it in his wallet. I found this nice Urn for him to put the ashes in.
After I ran the last of my errands I was finally back at home.
Zac: You sneaking off where you been?
Fatima: I told you I had some errands to run
Zac: I would have went with you
Fatima: I didn't want to wake you, you needed to rest
Zac: I did I am about to go to the gym and let out some stress
Fatima: Okay I will see you when you get back
Perfect while he was at the gym I had time to get the place set up. Eboni should be here in a few to help me set up.
Knock at the door
Fatima: It's open
Eboni: Hey girl I was about to about to cuss someone out picking up this order
Fatima: what happened
Eboni: They tried to rush me and act like they didn't want give me any extra sauces. Then gone have the nerve to try and keep my change.
I snatched my change so fast ya'll ain't getting no damn tip
Fatima: I see we both having to put people in check today
Eboni: What , who you done went off on
Fatima: I slapped the shit out of this bum bitch that use to mess with Zac. She called me a bitch and you know how I feel about that word
Eboni: Oh I know I remember when this girl called you that in middle school you bout beat the breaks off of her
Fatima: honey she didn't look my way after that
Eboni: Scared her ass straight. We had some laughs for sure
Fatima: we sure did
Eboni: Zac is really going to love this
Fatima: I hope he does hopefully this will lift his spirits
Eboni: I'm sure it will
Everything was finally set up
Angela and Bryce showed up
Angela: Hey girl why didn't you call me I could have helped you set up
Fatima: It's okay Eboni helped me
Angela: Who the hell is Eboni
Fatima: Language girl and let me introduce you to her she's my best friend since we were little
Angela: I didn't know you had another best friend
Fatima: Yup she's actually dating Tony small world
Angela: Oh okay well let me meet this new friend
Fatima: Hey Eboni come here I want you to meet my friend Angela
Eboni: Hey nice to meet you Angela
Extending her hand for a handshake but Angela left her hi and fry
Angela: Ebby I am Fatima's best friend since college
Fatima nudged Angela in the arm
Eboni: It's Eboni with an I
Angela: Oh I'm sorry I must have heard wrong well it's nice to meet you girl. Tima where the drinks at I need a strong one
Fatima: Stop being messy
Angela: What I'm just trying to figure out where this friend came from
Fatima: I just told you she's a friend from childhood
Angela: Well I don't like new people showing up in our circle.
Fatima: Girl get it together you act like I can't have no other friends. I'm gone start calling you Karen.
Angela: Don't call me that girl name I am nothing like her
Fatima: Well you kind of acting like her miss I can only have one friend.
Angela: I'm just trying to make sure she legit
Fatima: That's not for you to figure out she's cool people trust me
Angela: If you say so
Andi was the last to show up
Zac and Tony finally showed up.
Zac was surprised
Zac: See I knew you were up to something
Fatima: I wanted to do something special for you since you didn't get to say goodbye to your mom. I wanted to you be surrounded by love and for you to be able to have a piece of your mother with you.
Zac: Babe you're about to make me cry. I'm a thug, thugs don't cry
everyone laughed
I have something for you
I brought out the enlarged picture of Zac and his mother and the Urn
Zac lost it when he saw the picture
Zac was crying the ugly tears
Zac: How did you get this picture and where did you get the ashes
Fatima: I found it in your wallet and I paid your brother a visit
Zac: You did what?
Fatima: I'll tell you how that went later, just enjoy the moment we are here to celebrate your mother
Zac: This is why I love you so much, you don't know how much this made my heart smile.
Fatima: You're welcome babe I just want to see you happy
Zac gave Fatima the biggest hug and kiss
Zac: Thank you all for coming out and supporting me during the passing of my mother I really appreciate you all. And big shout out to my soon to be wife she amazes me everyday.
Tony: We love you bro we locked in for life
Andi: Yes what Tony said we love you Zac
We laughed and had a good ole time sharing memories
I watched as Zac smiled and laughed the whole time. Even if it was just for tonight I was happy to see my baby happy.
Everyone left so we started cleaning up
Zac: Thank you for everything babe, you don't have to do half the things you do but you stay making me smile and loving on me
Wrapping her arms around his neck
Fatima: That's what I am here for that's what a wife is supposed to do. Well soon to be wife but you get it. I always got you no matter what
Zac: And I got us. So you want to tell me about this little meeting you had with my brother
Fatima: Huh walking off
Zac: Huh you heard me I don't like you going over there without me
Fatima: It was fine until I had to slap a bitch
Zac: Fatima your pregnant who are you slapping now
Fatima: Connie she called me a bitch and you know how I feel about that word
Zac: Oh I know you be knocking bitches heads between washers behind that word
Fatima: Damn right, but no all jokes aside your brother may be having a come to Jesus about his life. He apologized for disrespecting me and he said he's getting help
Zac: What not Jeremiah apologizing, I'll believe it when I see it
Fatima: I think he may be for real this time, you could see the pain in his eyes. He also told me to tell you he is sorry for everything and that he loves you
If he does change and stays clean would you want a relationship with him
Zac: I really don't know Fatima he hides it so well. I would really have to pray about it I don't want any of that mess around you or my child
Fatima: I understand, I guess we just see as he goes through this next journey
Zac: Yeah we shall see
Fatima: I am ready to shower and get off my feet
Zac: Come on let's go shower and I'll give you a foot massage
Fatima: I like the sound of that
