Broken pieces

A little lunch

It's finally Saturday.
Tia was pretty excited but nervous.
She just had a million questions but she knows Saleet won't even answer them.
The entire morning she was just thinking of that night and wondering why Saleet seemed so familiar when she met him.
She took a lot of time trying to clear her mind so she won't ask about that night cause Saleet wasn't even there she didn't even know he existed when she fell.
Was it really someone or something there that pushed her?
"No", Tia told herself because no one was there she knew no one was there.
She had to get going or else she'd be late.
(Wow already so many words and it's not even the good part yet🤭)
Uhhh Saleet and Tia decided to go to some popular restaurant or whatever for a lunch date.
"Hey Tia it's nice to meet up with you."
"It's nice to see you too, but why do you want to go one a date with me after you just got a divorce?"
Saleet just ignored her.
Once they sat down Tia just had to break the very awkward silence between the two.
"Uhm... What are you planning to get on the menu?"
"Probably just a salad.", Saleet just stared at her it was kind of awkward.
"Oh I'm getting a salad too."
She felt unsure of what to get because there were endless options.
(I was unsure what kind of restaurant they went to)
"This is kind of awkward we talked a lot at the therapy session why are you so silent now?"
"We didn't talk much about happy things so I don't know what to bring up."
Tia knew it was more than that he had a cold look in his eyes it was much different and more tense than it was at the therapy session.
"I'm not going to be your therapist outside of my office."
"I know I haven't said much since we got here.", Tia was confused why he said that after she said almost nothing other than the simple greetings and 2 questions.
"Ok...", Saleet started to look like he did when they first met warm, happy, and welcoming.
It was still kind of awkward between the two but Tia sparked up a conversation that both of them were interested in.
They talk about all the happier things happening in their lives instead of sad stuff.
(I don't know)
The food was done (more like the lettuce was finished) and Tia was about to ask for the check but Saleet stopped her.
"I'll pay."
"With what?"
"My money."
"No you just recently got a divorce and your ex took most of what you had so I am paying."
"No I'm nice so I'll pay."
"Stop making this hard I can pay I have money don't worry about it."
"Fine but I will pay for the next one."
"If you say so..."
Tia payed then she left after saying goodbye. She had some errands to do so she went to the grocery store to buy some groceries.
(While writing this the real saleet became a discord kitten? And Tia was the master? Weird things happened)
When Tia entered the store she saw Sophie(front desk lady) and said hi to her.
Actually Sophie and Tia had a lot in common and had a fun time just hanging out together.
"Can I have your number?"
"O-oh sure."
Tia than gave Sophie her number.
All night Tia still had questions for Saleet and tried asking some of them to Sophie but Sophie didn't have answers she just didn't know.
Tia was trying to sleep but she couldn't she need to know more about Saleet but Saleet only ignored her when she asked questions.
The next day Sophie wanted to be nice and ask Tia to go to a concert with her next Sunday...
(THE END FOR NOW)
