A Pie in The Sky

Chapter Ten

Chapter 10

For about a month after the dinner, Daya and Fred texted and called back and forth, they had so much in common. Fred was sure he liked her but Daya hadn't confirmed her feelings, she thought about it a few times but didn't want to accept it because she wasn't sure if he liked her back and was still heartbroken about Patrick. Fred asked her to come with him to a museum because he wanted to show her some art he loved, and they had not seen physical because she was hanging out with Butch whenever she wasn't working because they had so much to catch up on. Fred called saying "let's go to a museum", Daya responded "I don't like art at museums, they look boring and are too serious, I prefer cartoons, street art, surrealism and basically anything that looks interestingly good", he laughed then said "please let's just go, I promise you wouldn't regret it", she then said "ok since you promised but if I do regret it, I will make you do something truly awful", they both laughed and he agreed to pick her up at two p.m. on Saturday because she was on holiday.

On Saturday Daya got a call that woke her up at one-thirty p.m. from Butch, he asked her about her plans for the day, she immediately remembered and checked the time and realised she was late. She told Butch without thinking "damn I am going to be late for my date with Fred", she didn't realise what she had said until Butch said "date?", she then said "not a real date, just a meeting, we are going to a museum", "oh one of your not dates dates, I see, Daya just tell me you do not want to admit you are in a relationship with this guy", "Butch I am going to be late and do not have time for this conversation so goodbye, love you", she then hung up. She rushed out of bed and had a quick shower, did her makeup very quickly and by the time Fred called saying he was at her door, she looked almost decent and not rushed.

They got to the museum and Daya loved it, she took pictures of most of the art, looked very fascinated and had positive comments about most of them. After about thirty minutes in the museum Fred said, "I thought you don't like art at museums?", she smiled then responded, "shut up Fred" and they both Laughed. After the museum Daya said "please let's go get some food, I didn't eat this morning and I am starving", Fred responded "let's go to mine because I have chefs that can cook you anything you want". Daya laughed then responded "you think you are paying for just food? You are also paying for an experience and you, the wealthy one, somehow doesn't know this. no matter how broke I am, I always try to eat well because only a few things matter in this world and food is definitely one of them" he laughed then said "well I know where we could pay for an amazing experience", she laughed then said "now you are talking, hope I can afford it", he said "it's my treat", she didn't want to accept it but he convinced her to. They had an amazing meal which was truly an experience. After the meal, they took a walk and Fred didn't realize he had just walked her home because he was engrossed in their conversation. When they got to her house Daya said "well, we are at mine now so goodnight", he looked at his surrounding and was amazed "wow, Daya you truly are something, how the hell did you get me to walk you home and now I have to walk back alone to my car but you are forgiven because of how interesting you are", they both laughed and she hugged him as she said bye, she wanted to kiss him as much as he wanted to kiss her but she didn't. He walked to his car reminiscing the day he had had, he smiled before confirming Daya was who he wanted to be with when he died, he wasn't afraid of dying as much as he was of dying without Daya or even worse getting her then leaving her all alone. He was sad again.

Daya had enjoyed her day very much and was beginning to accept her feelings for Fred. She hadn't used her phone all day so, she decided to check her messages and social media, Unusually Butch hadn't called her all day so she knew he was upset. She decided to call him because she was not ready for another fight,
