The next night...

Zac couldn't get Fatima going out with a man with kids out of his head. It was strange behavior for Fatima. So he decided to go over to her house to ask her about it.

Zac: (yells) Yo Fatima where your ass at?

Fatima: I'm in my room.

Zac walks in to her room. Fatima was getting ready for her date tonight.

Zac: Oh shit. Where you going?

Fatima: Out.

Zac: Out where?

Fatima: Just out. Damn why are you asking a lot of questions?

Zac: My fault for wanting to take an interest in your life. You must be getting ready to go out with that dad you met at Kennedy's school.

Fatima: What? What are you talking about?

Zac: Ain't no what am I talking about. You know your niece is a snitch. She told me all about homeboy asking you out.

Fatima: Damn I knew I should have bribed her.

Zac: now you know damn well that was not going to work.

Fatima: True.

Zac: I thought you said you wasn't dating no man with a kid.

Fatima: It's not really a date. It's more like just catching up with an old friend.

Zac: what old friend?

Fatima: you don't know him.

Zac: Fatima We have been friends since kindergarten. All of your old friends are my old friends. Hold on let me guess. The dude that you used to like from your sophomore calculus class in college. What was is name? Um oh it was Calvin. Is it him?

Fatima: No Zac. He turned out to be gay remember.

Zac: oh yeah. Is it Jameson? Yeah it gotta be Jameson because I just heard he was back in town.

Fatima: No it's not him either. Can you stop guessing?

Zac: I wouldn't have to guess if you would just tell me who it is already. I don't understand why are you trying to ke- (laughs) oh I get it.

Fatima: What?

Zac: It's one of the ugly niggas you used to like. Ti It's cool you don't have to keep him a secret. We all have had our ugly people phase.

Fatima: Trust me. I remember your ugly person.

Zac: who?

Fatima: Malia.

Zac: Malia wasn't ugly.

Fatima: She wasn't cute either and how would you know if she was cute? You stared at her body more than her face.

Zac: (smiles) you right about that.

Fatima rolls her eyes.

Zac: hold on. I only dated her because you wanted to go out with her twin brother with no style.

Fatima: he did have style.

Zac: Fatima you know damn well he didn't. I'm starting to think that's your type. Non dressing ass ugly niggas.

Fatima: Ok. Just so you know this one isn't ugly and he knows how to dress.

Zac: Then why are you trying to keep him a secret.

Fatima: I'm not trying to keep him a secret. Maybe I just don't wanna jinx it.

Zac: what are you trying to say? I'm a jinx?
