When It Works

When Do They Learn?

It's been a month since the gender reveal Mariah is on maternity leave and Fatima's baby bump ha grown tremendousl. She says it's like as soon as she found out it was twins her stomach had to let the world know. Much like Mariah Fatima was all stomach. It's also been a month since Davis West hit one of Zac's  crews. It's been quiet but Zac is always a few steps ahead of the game. Instead of going home immediately from either of his offices he would go to the old house  that was still fully furnished or the condo just so any outsiders would know where he truly reside. Much to his surprise one of his young generals had flipped on him, he knew it was possible but he made sure his niggas ate well so he was a little thrown off. None of the street niggas knew where he stayed so the odds of him telling David was slim. Zac decided to have one of the money girls act as a spy for him. With a plan set in motion to send a message back to David he was near the old house when Fatima called.

"Hey daddy" she said in a sweet voice

"Hey baby, how y'all doin today" Zac asked while driving careful,y watching his surroundings tried to divide his attention evenly 

"We're good, about to end my day here and I was going to stop at the office to have lunch with you" 

"Ok yea yea that sounds good babe" 

"Baby what's wrong, why you sound like that" Fatima asked concerned and suspicious 

"No reason baby I just gotta handle something, I can't wait to see you in a few. I'm sorry I'm trying to do alot at once" he said honestly

"Ok baby go ahead handle that because I need all your attention, I'll se you later" 

"I love you baby see you soon"

"I love you more" they hung up 

Zac pulled up to the house and inside was Kareem and Murdock along with Allanah the girl he had working as a spy. "So where this nigga Tone at, and I don't know why he think he would ever be able to take me out" Zac asked smiling ready to get this over with he had to get back to the office for a meeting. "I'm about to text him" allanah texts Tone whom informs her he's parked up the block. She goes out back and starts her car and pulls in front of him as if she just got there. She got in the car with him and sat. He assumed when he flipped she would too but allanah knew she'd never see the amount of money with anyone else that she did with Zac she snitched and played her role. 

"I'm a fuckin boss" he whispered to himself as he looked down at his lap and watched allanahs head go up and down. He put his hand on the back of her head and made her swallow him while as he released in the back of her throat. Tones raspy baritone is what led to his name. He pulled up his pants and wiped the sweat from his head. He sat back and watched allanah straighten herself. "You the best lanah you know that girl" "Nigga I know". He brought her along because she was the one that tipped him off about where he stayed. He'd been trying to figure out where he stayed for weeks. Excited at the thought of knocking Zac off Tome promised Allanah a trip to Puerto Rico. That's why he has two bags full of money and two plane tickets in the trunk. Cocking his gun back he asked was she ready. "You sure he in there? "Yea I just saw him pull in a lil minute ago he ain't came out yet" the plan was for allanah to ring the bell and ask to use the phone. "Go ahead and do it like we planned if he alone pull yo gun and call me". Just as she reached the driveway Tone reversed his car slowly getting a closer look still out of sight , or so he thought. In his rear view Tone saw a delivery man walking on the sidewalk and onto Zac's property with a package which meant it would mess up his plans. He had to think quick. He rolled down his window and called the delivery man. The delivery man turned and walked toward the car "oh hello Mr. Taylor I need you to sign for this package" the dilevry man had his hat pulled down tight and didn't even look up. He was looking at the package to make sure it was the right address. As he pat his pockets in search for a pen Tone reached for the package. The delivery man looked up displaying his face. It was Kareem disguised as a FedEx worker. He dropped the box and put his pistol to Tones neck. "Surprised" moments later Kareem Allanah and Tone enter the garage where Zac is waiting. Realizing Allanah set him up he yelled "you dirty ass bitch" Kareem hit him with the butt of his gun"watch ya mouth bitch". All Zac did was stared. Tone tried to talk but Zac put his finger up silencing him. "Kareem show him what you got" and he turned to walk out. The loud blast echoed through the house. They knew what to do so he went back to his office for his meeting.

Little did Zac know David had another surprise. Once he arrived at his office he sat his meeting was late and Fatima would be arriving shortly. Moments later with his face buried in paperwork over a development deal he heard his office door open without knocking.assuming it was Fatima he didn't look up no one else would enter. "Hey babe been waiting for you" Zac said "oh have you" an unfamiliar woman said with an open trench coat exposing her naked body.  Defeated Zac dropped his head before speaking because what in the entire fuck was happening. "Lady who the fuck are you and why are you here" "you know why I'm here baby, I'm here to please you." She said dropping her coat. Covering his eyes with one hand and extending the other saying stop "omg look lady I don't know who sent you or for you but it wasn't me put your coat back on and leave" just then Fatima arrives and Zac assistant tells her that he is in a meeting. She waits until she hears a woman's voice "come on baby gimmie that dick" as she is opening the door Zac is putting the woman's coat back on and carrying her towards the door. She can see the visibly naked woman in her fiancés arms. "Tima I swear I don't-" "really Zac is this why you were so short with me earlier? To fuck around" she said with tears in her eyes "Tima listen" he said as he dropped the lady causing her to fall to the ground. Not wanting to be rude he started to help her up until Fatima looked at him "help that bitch up if you want to" the woman hurries and leaves but not before Fatima can smack her upside her head. 

"Really Zac I knew it, you rushed me off the phone. This is what you needed to handle" she said crying

"Tima hell no just listen. I was minding my business in walks this lady. And she just got naked" walking up to her she cut him off 

"Mm Mm don't come near me. You've been too busy for me for weeks Zac, every time I want attention it's always later. You've been going to the condo or the other house spending hours there and barely communicating with me." It was true but he didn't tell her because she's become hormonal and cries over everything. Just last night she cried over her sandwich being cut rectangular instead or triangular. He didn't want David or anybody getting close to her. So he would travel to the other properties switch cars and drive home. He didn't realize keeping her at bay was causing insecurities. His focus was keeping her safe. Realizing her pain he broke too shedding a few tears. 

"Gorgeous look at me? Have I ever given you a reason to doubt me especially when it came to women" he said sincerely 

"Well remember New York Nigga" she's still emotional and crying "we haven't had sex in weeks and when you get in bed you hardly even touch me" This was also true but it was because the babies often moved around and Fatima would too trying to get comfortable. "I get it I'm big now and I'm not desirable but damn you had to fuck a bitch in your office knowing I was coming here" she sat and cried

"He kneeled in front of her Tima, one you're more desirable now than you've ever been.he spoke wiping away her tears. Two I tell you how gorgeous you are everyday. I'm not saying it because I have to but because it's true. Three I don't know that bitch baby I don't know sent her but ima find out. Look at me gorgeous" she looks up with red eyes. "I would never cheat on you" 

"So what the hell Zac, what's going on?" Zac begins to tell her and she gets that she's been a little more emotional than normal, but to completely shut her out of a life she's been a part of all her life is ridiculous. He left her to deal with things on her own and thoughts that has consumed her mind for weeks. They are a team always have been she doesn't like the change.

"I get it there will always been someone lurking, this is too much right now since you like dealing with things alone you can stay at the other house. I'll be fine on my own, it's been that way anyway" she stood to leave Zac stands with her

"Tima I'm sorry I didn't want you to worry" 

"That's exactly what you did. Left me to worry if you still loved me or if you still cared. Zac I've watched you kill people why would that worry me" truth is now that she was bringing life into the world. Is this something that she wants hanging over her head. She thought it over once she was in her car. She wouldn't leave Zac she knows he has it under control but she needs him to act like it because to her this ain't it. 

"FUCK!" Was all he could let out
