Chapter 44: Never Was In Love
The warm lighting of that restaurant spread a gentle ambience as a soothing jazz tune that could uplift anyone’s mood was playing but it did nothing to lift Talia’s mood up.
The spacious restaurant was empty since it is one of the most expensive restaurants and since it is not dinner time yet. You couldn’t get in this restaurant at this time without knowing someone from the inside, Talia could infer. She never liked to go to restaurants and so she knew less about restaurants but she could be wrong too.
Talia picked up the hot water she asked with the glass looking milky with the vapours and took a sip. The place was so chilly probably because there weren’t many people there. She ate a bit too much of lunch and she felt bloated. Or maybe its because of her periods she felt bloated, but she didn’t feel like eating anything.
Or maybe because she saw the gloomy figure so silent, sitting in front of her testing her patience. He might be attractive for many with his beard and those glasses, but she didn’t like facial hair on men. She’s someone who went for the classic clean shaven look.
All she wanted was to go home, get rid of the formal wear, take a nice shower and change into comfortable wear and go to bed and sleep.
But why is she here.?
David blocked her and said he has something important to talk about and Talia deciding to end it then and there agreed. She wanted nothing to do with him and she wanted to listen to whatever he says and end it all immediately. She felt irked by the thought of having his number appearing on her phone screen once more.
But she didn’t understand why they must be talking in this restaurant and even after being here for more than ten minutes he is not talking.
"What do you want?" Talia asked losing his patience. She thought she they are waiting for someone but it seemed like that’s not the case.
"I - um-" David cleared his throat as his throat was hoarse, "I’m getting married." he said fiddling with his phone.
"You mentioned," Talia’s eyebrows furrowed.
