  After Zac told Fatima what happened last night, he started feeling worthless again, even though he got the confidence something about just hearing he's not shit, always just gets to him. Cause all he ever did was tried with Karen but she was just to naive to understand that.
    
Fatima goes in between Zac's legs facing forwards, trying to have direct eye contact.
  Fatima: Zac, Look at me.

Zac: I'm looking man this just to much all I ever do is make right it's like people never wanna see a nigga change like T what am I doing wrong? (He saids emotional.)

Fatima: I'm reminded you this again, and I'm gone keep reminding you. You are the shit, the big shit, the Rich shit, don't let no ex try to lower you down Because Zac if you wasn't the shit, why does she feels the need to pop up every damn where?  I'm gone handle her believe that!

Zac: Thank you T, I love you (Zac gets serious) handle her? T am I gone have to bury my babymother?

Fatima: Honey relax (she chuckles)

Zac: okay now what you got planned for today, you going to work?

Before Zac leaves he puts flowers, teddy bear and $5000 on the bed for Fatima with a little note card that said
"Treat yourself my queen, everyday you make life worth living for, Love Zac"  

After about half an hour Fatima got out the shower, wrapped her towel around her, and did her Hygiene, after that she walked into the bed room and seen the gifts that Zac left her, she was smiling ear to ear cause receiving money from Zac was new to her and she appreciated everything he ever did for her. Fatima grabs her phone and calls up Zac.
