Zac came back and cooked Dinner. Mia and Melody wanted to play after dinner so Zac allowed them, to get all their energy out before bed.
"What did I just say about running, go in the play room with all of that" he says as him and Fatima are tidying up the kitchen and living room
"Mia come put this bean bag back" Fatima says as Mia runs back toward them
"But mommy, all imma do is bring it back tomorrow"
"It doesn't belong in here" Fatima simply says and Mia drags the bean bag out of the living room
"Tomorrow I gotta get up at 8 to go view this house and I already don't feel like it" Fatima says
"Where is it?" Zac ask
"On the east side, close to our old house" Zac nodded his head
"Oh that's not bad that's a little drive,it shouldn't really be any bad traffic"
The two casually talked about the house as they finished cleaning up
As soon as the two decided to make their way upstairs they heard something fall.
Zac skipped a few steps to get up there faster. With Fatima trailing behind
When he arrived the girls where standing on opposite sides of the room with the Tv on the floor. Zac turned around with his back facing the girls room. He had to collect his thoughts before he responded
"What was it" Fatima ask standing facing him looking over his shoulder
"Sit down" he says to Mia and Melody as they lowered to the floor. Fatima was finally able to see the tv on the floor
"No way" Fatima says
" there is absolutely no reason that a tv is on the floor, I don't get it"
"What were y'all doing" Fatima ask with her hand on her hip
"Mommy Melody took that from me and we are running and um she she pushed me mommy she t-
"No I didn't!" Melody screamed
"Mia hit me" Melody whined
"I did not Melody"
The two continued
"All I know is the tv that was up here is now on the floor for what reason, I don't know"
" y'all don't got no money for a tv for y'all to be doing whatever it is y'all doing and it's on the damn floor" Zac says
"Daddy Mia hit me" Melody says pointing at Mia
"No I didn't !" Mia cries out
"It's time for bed." Fatima says grabbing Melody as she makes her body go limp
"Stand up!" She shouts at Melody as she still keep her body in a limp position as Fatima pops her leg a few times as she spazzed
"Sick of playing these games with you Melody" Fatima says leaving out the room with screaming Melody in her arms
"Mia lets get ready for bed" Zac says a Mia stands walking towards Zac.
Zac heard Melody continuing to scream as he shook his head taking Mia to the bathroom to wash her up.
"Melody stand up!" Fatima yelled as Zac finished getting Mia ready for bed. Zac put Mia's pajamas on and she runs back to her room.
"Zac come get her!... did you just hit me?!" Zac heard Fatima says as he picks up his pace to get to Melody
Melody is completely spazzing out, screaming at the top of her lungs with a red face full of tears and snot. When Zac gets to the room, Melody tries to get out of Fatima's grasp to run from Zac.
He stands Melody up in front of Fatima
"Did you just hit her?" He ask Melody while he stands in between her and Fatima pointing
Melody chose not to respond and Zac hit her leg making her cry
"Did you hit your mother?" He says as Melody stands with her hand in her mouth as she nods. Zac snatches her hand out her mouth
"Tell her you're sorry" he says sternly as Melody lets silent tears roll down her face
Melody hesitates to apologize and Zac raises his hand.
"I'm sorry mommy" she says as she breaks down and cry.
Fatima stood there shaking her head as Zac walked Melody out the room. When he went in the room Mia was already sleeping. He put Melody in bed, he sat on the side of her bed until she got comfortable.
He kissed both of their foreheads and left out the room going back in the bedroom with Fatima.
"That little girl is really trying it" Fatima says " it's crazy because she acts like someone I know"
"Who?" Zac questions
"She acts like her damn daddy" Fatima says and Zac laughs
"Now you're lying" Zac says
"She's crazy like you. I guess imma really have to start beating her ass because why is she acting like this. Like nobody got time for that" Fatima says gathering Melody's clothes she took off and putting them in the laundry bin
"The way they play, you would think we have boys" zac says
"They're so rough, like with everything" Fatima says as Zac flops on the bed checking his emails. He usually checks them three or four times a day. Once in the morning, another around lunch, some time in the evening and right before he goes to bed if he can remember.
He went through a few and once stuck out from an unfamiliar email address
From: Jazminereidhomes@yahoo.com
Good Evening Mr. Taylor
It was such a pleasure meeting you today. I hope your dinner turned out great. I was reaching out because I got your email from your website and was curious to know if you did mentorship. I know you get a lot of emails, so if you don't respond it's fine. I'll attach my contact information below just in case.
Email: Jazminereidhomes@yahoo.com
Phone:404-856-3453/ Fax: 209-728-7655
Zac read the email without responding in that moment. He'd made a mental note to shoot her an email in the morning. Zac has never mentored anyone but he's been to conventions to speak and share his wealth of knowledge.
