The restaurant smelt nice,classic musicians playing at a designated stage for them,too luxurious to Tiara but she kept quiet about being uncomfortable. She couldn't hide her surprise when Tiara told her they were sitting at different tables, she thought it was more like a double date and not putting her in an awkward situation with an unknown guy. Tiara smiles at Kyle's boyfriend, that was all they could; smile and say hi since they met twice or thrice.
Tiara's date dressed expensive, it was probably easy for one tell that he is from a wealthy home. He could brag about everything(money and beauty) but not height,Tiara stood taller than him,he asked her to sit rather gently. Tiara searches around,looking for Thomas like he told her he told her he would be there. "Looking for someone?" He asks her "No,I'm just looking around" she laughs unnecessary, trying to reduce the sudden hiCHAPTER FOURFEBRUARY 14th 2014 Tiara thinks she saw Thomas,not on Valentine's day last year but some times,it felt like he passed her. Just like in movies,two individuals passing each other unknown to them,maybe she passed him when he turned to a corner to make a phone call or he passed her when her back was turned to her. She doesn't know how but a little part of herself asks her "didn't you pass him?" . she thought about it,it is silly to keep thinking about him,she questions herself wondering if he thinks about her too. She looks at herself in the mirror, a white t shirt and denim. Sometime last year,probably in may Thomas met Ciara. He said Ciara made him think about his father,his father that died on the day he met Tiara,he said meeting her would make his heart hurt but he gave Ciara a lot of attention because her name reminded him of Tiara's, the only different is C and T.
"I know a good cafe with a piano,let's go there. Okay with that?" He asked. She nodded her head in agreement, he promised to play her some of Brahm's music. The cafe is small,Tiara loves it. Ciara walks to them,she politely welcomes them to her cafe. "Hi,I heard you have a piano?" He asks. "Yes,my boyfriend owns it,he's inside" she leads them them to a room at the corner end of the cafe. Tiara whispers to Richard asking him why he picked a piano date outside when he has one at home. He responds to her question with a smile. The owner of the piano,seems too busy playing it,he didn't even notice when they enter the room. Ciara hugs him from behind,to Tiara she seems too clingy to her boyfriend. Thomas turns backward immediately Ciara whispers something to his ear."Hi,I'm Tho...." There is no need for a long introduction, before he could finish saying his name,Richard moves closer to him exchanging pleasantries like old pals. T
CHAPTER FIVEFEMBRUARY 14TH 2015 "We should stop now" she said. The cool breeze romancing her skin as she hugs Thomas. She got tired of it,it makes her looks pathetic. They kept seeing each other with the excuse of being friends,she felt guilty towards Ciara,it felt like she and Thomas were playing with Ciara. Ciara knows too,she knows that Thomas loves Tiara,but she was finding it hard to deal with the truth. She was not too sure about it until she was alone with Richard in the piano room. "Is there something between you and Tiara?" She asked "Yes,we are friends" He told her even though he knew that she wasn't asking about that,he knew she silently prayed for them to have an intimate relationship. "Not that" she said. He told her about his feelings for Tiara but
They walked around the park for a while,holding hands like lost lovers. While they walked she smiles,looking at him like she was searching for something in his face. "Why the look? Is there something on my face?" He asks her "Yes" "What's it? Where??" He asks "It's all over your face, destiny". She avoided speaking about destiny ever since she met him again,she still isn't sure why she avoids the topics, but what's the harm talking about it today. People walked around the park, mostly young couples holding hands and smiling. It was like everyone decided to visit the park on Valentine's day. He asked her if she still believed in that,she gave a quick nod and pointed her finger at him,she told him he made her believe in it. He told her he stopped believing in that,he said it was by chance.
CHAPTER SIX February 14th 2016Thomas drove to pick up Tiara in Kyle's flower shop. She started her flower business mid year of 2015,it's a nice shop doing fairly well. He has asked Tiara a lot of times why she doesn't allow him pick her from her house or drop her there but she Never answers,he didn't want to pressure her so he stopped asking. He was like her too,they never talked about each other's family,they were so close but too far from each other. He moved out of his family's house because his Mom decided to marry another man,he doesn't want her to have another man in her life,he said his father is still up there loving his mom,why does she have to betray him. He threw a lot of her flower gifts away,they reminded him of his father who used to buy a lot for his mom. Seeing her holding a flower she got from another man disgusted him. He tried to understand but he feels understanding her is betraying his fathe
Tiara sat on the sofa,wearing a white shirt that originally belongs to Thomas,she calls for him asking him to bring the wine quickly. Thomas comes with a bottle of red wine and glasses in his hands,he is wearing only a sport pants. They drank wine,they talk about different things work,friendship and music, they kept avoiding any issue concerning family. Richards raises his glass up,he says he wants to give a toast to someone he knew. "To you who thinks you've found true love again,I hope it's true. I hope your heart don't get broken,I may be a rude jerk sometimes and a bad boy to you but I hope you find happiness and heal your wounds" he says and smiled,one of the safest smile one could ever see. Tiara wants to ask him who he made the toast for,but something,nothing exactly keeps holding her. "I promised you a dance,have you forgotten?" He
CHAPTER SEVEN FEBRUARY 14th 2017 Tiara prepares for dinner with her friends,they were more than club members now,was it ever a club? It consists of two part time pianist,a coffee shop owner, a florist and a marketer. She stands in front of the mirror checking her shape,if she became more fatter or slimmer. Kyle knocks at the door before coming in. She looks at the mirror measuring her waist with her hands. "Am I getting fatter? I think I'm having belly fat" Tiara said "You look the same to me" Kyle told her. Kyle stares at Tiara,her looks make Tiara uncomfortable. She knows Kyle wants to ask something but it must be a serious issue because of the looks Kyle wore on her face. She asks Kyle if anything is wrong but kyle shakes her head in a negative way. She wants to speak ab
"I'm Thomas..." He didn't allow Thomas finish before saying he has heard a lot about him from Ciara,he apologises for cutting in,he said he was just excited to finally meet Thomas. It felt weird to know that your ex became your friend and her boyfriend feels its exciting to meet you. Tiara who's been avoiding Thomas for days about an issue she couldn't ask him about because she concluded the story felt angry that Thomas didn't introduce her as his girlfriend. "I'm Tiara,a marketer". Kyle introduced herself as a florist,she makes a little joke about feeling small when she's with them,calling herself an ordinary " florist". "Mr Jean, do you have any single doctor friend,I've been lonely for long,a blind date could cheer me up." Kyle said. She saw the looks on everyone face, they were surprised she said that to J
