[Zac] What's wrong with the sex?
[Fatima] It's just too much.
Previously onZatima...
First of all, I don't have a problem.
Okay, well, have any of the other women you dealt with
ever said that you wanted too much?
If that's his sexual appetite,
it's no wonder one woman cannot please him.
Mama been asking about you, man.
I just don't know what you been telling her.
Like, after all this time, she want to see me.
She just wants you to come by and come see her.
- Can I help you ladies out? - [Angela] Yes, you can.
I can get it done. I'm very good at what I do.
I think I thought of something that would help both of us out.
Zac, I want you to have a side chick.
Did you hear me?
Yeah, I heard you.
Look, baby, I don't know what else to do, I just...
Fatima, are you kidding me right now?
No, I'm not.
You cappin'.
No, Zac, I'm dead serious.
No, you not. You not serious right now.
I'm serious, Zac. I don't know
how much more I can take of this.
It's a lot.
I know what this is.
- I know what this is. - [Fatima] What?
You wanna see other people.
- No. - That's what it is.
- You want to see other people. - No.
And you want me to agree to it first.
- So that's what you wanna do. - No.
I know how this goes. Come on, that's what you want.
- Zac, that is not... - Who is he? Who is he?
What are you talking about?
I know you, Fatima.
You not with this whole open relationship thing.
"Open relation..." No, no, no, see,
who ever said anything about an open relationship?
I said a side chick.
That's what a side chick is, isn't it?
Zac, I don't know what else to do.
Do you have any other solutions?
Who are you and what did you do with the real Fatima?
Like, I'm lost.
Baby, I'm right here.
I'm serious. This is a lot.
Six times on Saturday.
Three to four times other days.
I'm a man, what you want me to do?
Schedule my erections? Like, I can't help that.
No, babe, I want you to pace yourself.
Can you do that?
Pace myself how?
You know what?
I picked one out for you.
Wait, no, no, no. Stop, stop.
- Do you want her or not? - Stop.
Fatima, you dead serious? You not playing no games?
- [Fatima] I'm not playing... - You not setting me up?
I'm not setting you up. Do you want her or not?
Not gonna say no.
What you mean you not gonna say no?
See, see?
Look at how fast you changed.
You was all "I got you," and then the minute I...
All right, look,
I already picked her out. Do you want to see or not?
What is happening right now? I don't...
You stay right here. I'm gonna go get her.
And I'll let you decide. All right?
Just stay right here.
- You serious? - [Fatima] Dead serious.

She better look good too.
[unintelligible]
She better look dirty, too.

I went to the sex store today and I got you this gift.
I think she's perfect.
"Discreetly designed,
and comes with its very own travel case."
Keep reading it.
"Add warm water,
and it feels like the real thing."
Why... Why would I fuck this when I could fuck that?
'Cause you fucking this up.
- Seriously? - Yes.
Which part?
- What? - The top or the bottom?
- Stop it. - I'm just, I'm being honest.
What am...
Zac, what you gonna do is go take a cold shower,
okay, and then run you some warm water.
Put it in here.
And use it, right? Try your girl out.
- Wow. - Mm-hmm.
Before I proposed to you...
Don't even say it.
You used to be thotting it up.
On the table, under the table, car,
sink, under the sink,
in the closet, on top of the closet.
We even did it in the back.
- Yeah. - On top of the awning.
All that, and now you bring me a Side Pussy?
This ain't gonna work for me, like, I'm sorry.
Look how hard this is.
How am I supposed to without...
- Zac. - Come on. Come on. No.
Look, Zac, I'm gonna have dinner tonight, all right,
and I'm going to bed.
Are you serious?
[Fatima] I'm dead serious. I need a break.
Wow.
Well, what are we eating?
Oh, I got takeout.
So you brought home takeout and a pussy?
Yeah. Two. Two pussies.
But that one right there, you can use anytime you want.
Just wear it out. [laughs]
This is all funny to you, huh?
No, look, babe,
I thought long and hard about where we can meet in the middle.
And this is the middle.
I be thinking long and hard about meeting in the middle too.
See, you're already hard just thinking about it.
Have you seen yourself?
Zac, okay, you know what?
I'm about to get dinner ready. You get ready, okay?
You about to get dinner ready?
- What, you gonna warm it up? - Yeah.
My niggas don't get engaged, bet.
I already got this, so we good.
[mocking laughter]
[Fatima] Shut up.
You quiet.
Dinner, fail.
Pussy, fail.
It's a plastic fork.
- It's been a long day. - It's... takeout.
Well, did you see Bryce today?
Another fail. Yeah.
[Fatima] How did that go?
Awkward as shit.
Well, you know you gotta talk to him at some point, right?
I know.
Oh, I forgot to tell you,
coming out of work today, I had a flat.
So why didn't you call me?
Well, I was fixing it,
and then this guy on the construction crew came,
and he said he'd fix it for me, so...
Yeah.
You know, you gotta call me for stuff like that.
Why didn't you just call me?
Babe, wasn't that serious.
[Zac] Yeah, but I would've cae and fixed it.
It's fine, babe.
I'm never too busy to just be there for you.
Like, why you won't let me do stuff?
I don't know. I'm sorry.
Just like that?
Just like what?
You're upset.
No, I'm not.
Well, you barely ate.
You ain't give me nothing I want to eat.
Stop it.
- I'm serious. - Zac, don't do that.
How long you want me to wait?
Babe, this isn't about time.
So then what is it about?
It's about pacing yourself.
Look, I'm not a machine.
I'm not either.
That thing is.
Fatima, let me ask you a serious question.
- Zac... - No, seriously.
Do you like it?
[Fatima] Babe, I love it.
So am I doing something wrong?
No.
So then why don't you want it?
Babe, look, when you about to get yours,
and you look me in my eyes,
ooh, yeah, don't do that.
That shit is so sexy.
Yeah, not that.
You looking a little cock-eyed right now, but...
I'm just playing. Come on. Come on, Fatima.
Babe, I love it. I do. I really do.
But babe, you want it so much.
I've never had a man want it this much.
Your testosterone is through the roof.
And I just need a break.
Okay. So what am I supposed to do?
Like, I'm just... I don't understand.
- What? - What am I supposed to do
when we don't have all this time?
Like, you about to go to law school, right?
Yes, babe, and with that and work,
I'm not gonna have time to have all this sex, so...
That's what I'm saying.
I'm trying to make up for the time we gonna lose.
Like, what do you want me to do?
I want you to use that time to get used to her.
You know what?
I hate to say it,
but it's like, now that you got me,
you seem like you changing.
Zac, I'm not changing.
- You are. - No, it's been a lot.
It was a lot then.
So why didn't you say anything?
I was just waiting to see how far it would go
and hoping that you wouldn't want me so much.
Are you serious?
That's not fair.
It's just a lot.
So you want me to want you,
but you want me to want you when you want me to want you?
And in the times that I want you,
I'm supposed to do what, use this thing?
Yes. [cellphone vibrating]
Who is it?
It's my brother.
And what does he want?
I told him I'd go see my mother tonight.
[whispering] I don't know why I did that.
- Your mother? - Yeah.
You don't really talk about your mother much.
'Cause she's a fucked-up person.
She let a lot of bad shit happen to me,
and now that I got money, she want to come around.
She ain't give a shit about me before.
You should go see her.
Why? It's gonna be the same bullshit.
Zac, she has a problem.
So? She not gonna change.
Look, all I'm saying is
you don't want something to happen to her
and you didn't get to say your piece.
Fatima, I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing that.
You want me to go with you?
You and my mother?
[Fatima] Yeah.
That'll be all bad. I'm not doing that.
- You sure? - I'm positive.
Speaking of which, when am I gonna meet your mother
and your father?
Hm?
"Hm?"
Um, soon.
"Soon." Why you say it like that?
Um...
I may or may not have told them about you yet.
Wow. Wow.
Wow.
But I'm gonna see them this weekend, babe.
- Just... - Wow.
I just want to tell them in person.
So we've been engaged, and you haven't told them
about me yet?
Baby, it just all happened so fast.
Look, I told you how they are, all right?
They like things done a specific way,
especially my mom.
I mean, if she knew I was living here,
it'd be hell to pay.
And so? You grown.
You know what? Let's not talk about my parents.
There you go.
- Just go see your mama. - There you go.
Fine, I'm gonna go see her just because you said.
- Thank you. I love you. - [Zac] Don't be thanking me.
I love you too, but don't be thanking me.
Unless you want to thank me.
You're pushing it.
But I do love you. Okay.
Trying to push it.
You want to take your girl with you?
Stop playing with me, Fatima.
- Give her a little spin. - Stop. Stop.
That's not even funny. I'm not touching that thing.
You know what? I'm gonna put some warm water in it for you.
Fatima, don't put no water in that... Fatim...
[Fatima] I just want you to try it.
- You dead seriou... - [Fatima] Yes.
Ooh, baby, it says she squirts.
What could she possibly squirt?

Zac, I'm not her. I'm not.
Babe. And I am not the things that she did to you.
Look, I know.
Look.

I don't like seeing you like this.
It's okay.

and being together forever.
Okay, and in order to enter that,
we need all the tools that we need to be okay.

I'm not leaving you.
Okay?
She left me.
Say what?
When I was six.
[Fatima] Zac.
I was at the gas station.
In the front.
I couldn't find her. I was frantic.
I was just screaming, "Ma! Ma!"
I was lost.
I stumbled in the back.
I saw her.
She was with a trucker.
She was giving him head.
I saw it.
I was saying, "Ma, Ma."
She ain't even stopped when she heard me.
[Fatima] Zac, I don't...
And today, she left me again.
I took her to the store.
I gave her $100.
She snuck out the back door.
