About six months ago I left for a scheduled deployment, I was a extra body to help get things going. I left without talking to Trey and I tired reaching out to him multiple times but got nothing. I mean I called, texted when possible, emailed everything just to at least find out if everyone was okay. I tired to call Mari as well but I guess she got a new number. I don't even know if she's recovered from being shot, to be honest I dont even know the details on how bad her injuries were. So after the fifth month of no replies I stopped trying. I've been home a month now and it's weird to be back and not be in touch with them, but hey I guess that's life right. So I set up a dating profile on dating site called Let's fall in LOVE. I really dont even know why though guess it's cause I'm bored. I'm not really interested in finding love like I was a few months back, hell I actually believed I found it. But I'm past that now, since I set the profile up, I've been on a few dates. All the guys were corny, one guy even told me he still lives with his momma and has six kids, oh trust me I ended that date fast as I could. Today I decided to take myself on a me date is what I'm calling it. I'm going to the spa for a personal body massage, the nail salon for medi & pedi, I'm going to do a little shopping and then I'm treating myself to dinner and wine. I get up and shower and throw on sum basic clothes I'll find the perfect date outfit while shopping but I gotta get dolled up 1st. I make it to the spa and I get the deluxe package, I start off with a sea weed body wrap and facial mask. Next I receive a full Swedish body massage felt so good I drifted off to sleep 💤, then I relaxed in the hot tub with the jets blasting. Once I was done I felt regenerated..shit like a new woman baby. I walked down the block a little ways to get my nails and toes done, once inside I also decided to get my eyebrows waxed. About a hour later I was at the mall splurging on myself, bought items from Chanel, Prada, and my favorite store Dolce & Gabbana. I got dressed in the fitting room and looked in the mirror, damn I look good I said to myself afterwards I grabbed my bags & head out to my dinner date. I arrived at Ruth's Chris Steak House I was placed at my table. After a few moments the waiter came over and I placed my drink and food order. As soon as my waiter left a gentleman came over. He was about 6'2 looked to be about 198lbs with caramel skin, deep waves in his hair, and a neatly trimmed goatee was the only facial hair and it stood out. "Umm excuse me miss I just wanted to tell you how beautiful you look tonight." Why thank you I appreciate it I said. He reaches his hand out "My apologizes I'm Leonard Tyson" I took his hand into mine and shook it. I'm Lia-Sha Diaz lovely to make your acquaintance I replied. "You should take a photo to remember how beautiful you look tonight" I laughed but agreed today was all about me for once and I wanna remember it. I pulled my phone out to take a selfie then Leonard said "Allow me" so I handed him my phone he snapped the picture and after he did I noticed him typing then he handed me my phone back.

"Well you have a lovely night, I stored my number if you decide you wanna hang out I'll leave that choice up to you" Thank you it was nice to meet you I said. "The pleasure was mine" he said then kissed the back of my hand and walked away. My lamb chops and mashed potatoes and a Dirty Martini arrived shortly after. I made it home about 11, I came in a sat on my sectional and debated on texting Leonard but decided against it. I got up and went to shower afterwards I grabbed a bowl of butter pecan ice cream and slid in my bed and turned on a movie. I woke up the next morning and went to the gym after a three hour workout and 1/2 mile run I went to shower. Bored I text Leonard...

I showered and got dressed I tired to keep it simple since I usually over do it when it comes to dressing. I put on a long sleeve fitted top with high waisted shorts and put my hair into a high ponytail. After giving myself a once over in the mirror I was satisfied with my appearance. Just as I was putting my shoes on my phone pinged.

I grabbed my purse and threw it over my should and headed out. I pulled into the parking lot 10mins later. I walked in & seen Leo sitting by the window as I was approaching the table he stood to his feet and met me half way, pulling me into a hug and kissed my cheek. "It's lovely to see you again didn't think I'd get this opportunity." I blushed it's nice to see you too, your looking very nice today. "Thank you but you look better", I laugh and we sat at the table, the lunch went smoothly as we ate and got to know each other. I didnt even realize it was going on 3:30 omg Leonard I'm sorry but I have to go I didn't notice the time. "Me too my lunch break ended two hrs ago" he chuckled. We embraced and went our separate ways.
