He heard the diner door open and thought maybe that was her, finally. He realized that he hadn't really given a time to Irisa for their meeting, so he wasn't sure when she'd be arriving to his location. He had decided to sit with his back to the entrance to add an element of surprise for himself, as well as his "date". She wasn't really a date, but he liked calling her that since he hoped maybe by the end of this meeting they will be decided on going on an actual date. One could dream.

He felt the floor give as footsteps grew closer to him, and using his expert peripherals he saw her arm swing forward as she was about to take her seat at the table he had picked out he grabbed her arm, stopped her, and kissed her abruptly just as she had done him. As his hand was about to make its way to her face, she pushed against him and away from his embrace and his kiss. He was confused as to why she wouldn't respond now after doing this twice to him.

"Why is it okay for you to do this to me, but I can't do this to you?" He tried to remain calm, but it wasn't working; he liked Irisa too much and he wanted to know why she was rejecting him. "Thanks for coming, I guess, but I'm not really in the mood to talk anymore." He felt bad leaving, because he knew that this would only prolong talking about what had happened in the station. But staying there only made him feel worse.

She was taken aback by the kiss and pushing away was almost a natural response. The look on his face after her rejection tugged at her heart strings. She had this almost habit of pushing people away - it was a coping mechanism to avoid getting hurt.

As Tommy turned and walked towards the exit of the diner Irisa looked upon with narrowed eyes. She knew it was her fault but him leaving like that made her really mad. She stalked after him, fists bunched with cruel intentions - but highly unlikely that she would act upon them.

When she finally caught up with him she grabbed him by the back of his shoulder and pushed him up against a nearby wall so they were standing face to face. She looked at him, a clear look of anger in her eyes. Arms pinning him against the wall all the while.

"Why did you do that?!" Irisa said, voice laced with anger. "You expect me to show up somewhere and then you just leave?!". Irisa released her grip on him and backed up from against the wall where she had him held.

In reality, Irisa had no idea on how to react to someone after an intimate encounter. She was hardly experience in this area and she was insanely afraid of the unknown. That's why she decided to try and push him away, she was scared of being hurt. In her life she'd only learnt to trust one person and letting someone else in was a big deal to her.

"I'm sorry Tommy. I can be a haigyi most of the time".

A/N The word 'Haigyi' means bitch in Irathient.
