Chapter 5 - #5 Strange Things

Pia POV 

I was standing in the queue to get my clothes billed and Tyler was behind me doing something on his phone. I've realised recently that whenever I am with Tyler he just puts his phone away from me,it might be that he wants to spend all the time with me but it's still weird. When it's my turn I put all the things on the counter to get them billed and that's when the manager of the store comes and takes a look at me from top to bottom then whispers something to the attendant and the attendant nods and continues doing his work. I feel a little weird but I let it go. Then,I open my purse to pay for the clothes and the attendant says,"Ma'am you don't have to pay". I looked at him in shock and replied,             "Huh?Sorry. I don't understand" 

"Ma'am the bill is on us and you don't need to pay" He tells me. 

I was still in shock and looked back at Tyler even he was taken aback a little. I still managed to speak and asked the attendant,"Why is it on you? Was there some offer going on that I didn't know of?"

"Umm..No ma'am actually" he was about to say something when the manager interrupts him saying,"Ma'am actually the bill is on us because every month there is one customer we pick and put there bill on us,in order to appreciate that customer" 

"WHOA!!Really? I didn't know of this." Tyler screams in excitement. I still wasn't convinced because some strange things are happening with me today. 

First the man in the escalator kept looking at me as if there was something written on my face and he was trying hard to read it.     

Then,Tyler and I fought in the mall and he accused me of something I really felt bad about. It's not strange but it hurt me a lot. 

Then the attendant in the other store asked me about some dress which Tyler aprantely bought for me and Tyler claims to have not been there yesterday and now this. Is it a sign of something? I don't really understand what's going on here. 

After a lot of explanation from the manager that why did they give the stuff for free me and Tyler left the store. Tyler was happy about it that we didn't have to spend,even I was happy but it felt a little too weird to me. 

At Pia's Home

Pia POV

I reached home alone as Tyler had some work so he left. I decided to tell all that happened today to Andrea, my best friend, about all the incidents that happened today and yesterday.I know she will give me the best advice. I facetime Andrea and she picks up,"Hey Ann how are you?"

"Hello to you too miss nowhere to be found" She replies taunting me because I haven't been able to talk to her for a while. 

"Ann,I was just busy you know with…" as I was explaining myself she interrupted me saying,"Yea yea. Busy with Tyler and busy with Tyler's bill and Busy with everything related to Tyler" 

"Are you taunting me?besides you know I owe him right?" I ask her. 

"Yes I am taunting you Pia and you have done enough to pay him back okay? You don't owe him anything now." She tells me furiously. 

"Ann,it's useless arguing with you. Anyways,I want to talk to you about something"I tell her. 

"Go ahead,I'm listening" She tells me.

"You know yesterday…" I tell her everything about yesterday and tell her  that Tyler hit me because he was just worried for me and all. 

"Pia,nobody hits anybody because they are worried and all. When somebody worries for you they show concern and not hit you. Why don't you get it?" She tries making me understand her point and even I feel ber point is valid but I cannot stand against Tyler because I owe him and also because He loves me and I love him.`` 

"I know Ann,but Tyler is different. He loves me and I love him." I try defending Tyler. 

"Do the hell with this kind of fucked up love Pia. Why don't you just go up to him and tell him that this is wrong?" She asks angrily. 

"Ann calm down,please and listen out to me first" I tell her. I then speak about all the strange things that happened today,about that strange man and about the attendant and everything. 

I look at Ann and she is even more angrier not because of that strange man,or not because of the free clothes but because of how Tyler accused me of cheating on him. 

"I'm going to rip his balls off,the next time I see him Pia.How the hell can he accuse YOU of cheating him? Has he gone nuts? Also am sure the attendant wasn't saying anything wrong,why will that attendant accuse me? He has nothing to do with Tyler." She tells me very furiously. 

"Ann I don't know what to do or say I am so confused at the moment,please help me" I practically beg for her help. 

"Hey,baby doll don't cry please. I will be over your house tomorrow and we can figure out what to do next okay?" She assures me.

"No,no please don't come to my house,if Tyler stops by then he will be very angry if he sees you with me. We can meet at a cafe near my office. Okay?" I tell her. I am afraid of Tyler so much that I have to sneak to talk to my best friend.

"I don't give a shit about Tyler and you know that,but for you I will be there at the cafe tomorrow evening. Now don't stress out and sleep tight. Love ya" She tells me and hangs up the call.

I lay on my bed and realise how messed up my life has become. I don't know why Tyler is not spending enough time with me now. Earlier we used to go to dates,spend quality times and share everything,but now it has become very weird. Tears roll down my eyes as I think about these things and I fall asleep. 

Sam POV

Throughout the car ride back to home I was silent. As I didn't know why I reacted that way and all. We reach home, go towards the living area and I find Patrick staring at me with a "I NEED ANSWERS" face and I know I was doomed and can't avoid it anymore. 

"You got some explaining to do my boy" Patrick told me.

"Listen Rick, it's nothing. I just felt sorry for that girl and that's why I decided to pay her bill. That's it." I tell me. 

"And why exactly did you feel sorry for her?" Anthony asks me. 

"Well….." I began telling them what all happened today and I could see they all were furious because of the way that jerk treated the girl. 

"What an absolute jerk" Carter yells. 

All this while mom was listening to the story I was telling to the boys and she says,"I am proud of all of you boys that you don't accept disrespecting a women.I really am" 

"We all were raised by the BEST MOTHERS. Weren't we?" Carter asks. And we all smile saying,"Indeed". 

We all then had dinner and everybody was having the usual fun but I was thinking about that girl. She is something else. I can't put it in words as to how amazing she was. I was with all of them on the dinner table but at the same time I also wasn't there.

"See you tomorrow Sam,and don't forget to plan the new year's okay" Kaedyn tells me and Thank God he talked about the New years party. I almost forgot it. 

"Yess,yess don't worry now byee" I tell him.

Everybody leaves and I head on to my room. 

I sat in my study and began finishing some work but my mind was continuously reminding me of that girl. I couldn't take it more and decided to call it a day. 

I lay on my bed,close my eyes and think if there is a chance I can see her again and I doze off with that thought.
