Fatima

Shit I am late for work again they gone fire my ass. Between school, work and meeting deadlines I am getting no rest.

I can't wait to be finished with school I wish I would have never taken a break I would be finished by now. But I know my hard work will pay off soon. 

I had to get a part time job just to stay a float, the writing gigs have been a little slow and the bills were steady pilling up.

I hurried up and jumped in the shower and got myself together.

Zac

Damn my alarm didn't go off again lucky I am my own boss so I make my own schedule. I owned my own tech company that has been successful since I started it. I wanted to do something that would help black men, I hired felons and gave them a second chance at life. A lot of the felons just needed a second chance at life and I was happy my company could help them. 

If I didn't have someone help me then I wouldn't be where I am today. That's why I made it my mission to help others and give them a 2nd chance.

I took a hot shower and got myself together.

The Coffee Shop

Zac 

I decided to be a nice boss and get the guys coffee and donuts. I went to the best black owned place in Atlanta. This place stayed packed all the time but it was worth the wait. I was standing in line scrolling through this dating app I downloaded a while back. 

I don't know why I still have it active I don't even be on it

Fatima

Zac: What the heck

Fatima: I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention.

Zac: No I am sorry I was in your way forgive me.

I helped her pick up her items off the ground. This woman was beautiful I just stood there staring at her

Fatima: Umm are you okay are you going to give me my stuff 

Zac: Oh my bad here you go

Sherri: You always over sleep, you lucky I like you or I would have fired you long time ago

Fatima: Thank you you know once I have hit record or New Yorks best time seller you know you will be the first person I thank 

Sherri: I better be, go help on the register

Employee: Sir next (motioning for Zac to come on)

Zac: I'm waiting for her pointing at the other Fatima . I'm sorry but you can go in front of me.
