I'd never been to David's gym before so I had to call Brian to give me directions. I was so glad I decided to take the jeep wrangler because we were about to get some company. It wasn't the perfect car to drive in a dress but I hadn't driven it in a while and missed the feeling. Kim was sitting besides me playing song after song from her phone. Lucky for her she had good taste in music or I would have already tossed her phone out the window. The twins were in their own car following behind us. I just hoped George never found out about this or I'd get the scolding of my life. That old man took his job too seriously. Just don't tell him I called him old or I'd never hear the end of it.

Thirty minutes into the drive Kim turned off the music and went silent. I thought she had just lost the mood for listening to music so I didn't question her about it.

"Does he really make you happy?" Kim asked after a few minutes of silence.

I sneaked a glance at her and found her looking outside the window towards the buildings we were passing. I'd rarely seen Kim look so serious so she definitely meant business.

"Are you talking to me?" I asked just to be sure.

"Of course dummy who else would I be talking to." She replied with a smile turning to look at me.

"Yes he makes me the happiest I've ever been. I can't imagine being with anybody else." I admitted a smile gracing my lips as I thought about David.

"And its not just lust or desire for you. It's genuine interest in the guy where you actually enjoy spending time with him that doesn't involve sex. Having long conversations about anything and everything." She inquired.

"Where is all this coming from?" I asked her turning my gaze from the road for a few seconds to look at her.

"Please answer me." She pleaded in a tone I'd never heard her use before meaning she was serious.

"Yes Kim I genuinely enjoy being with David without us having our clothes off. He makes me smile and makes me feel special in ways I'd only ever read about. I know we're still kind of in the honeymoon phase but I know for a fact that even when that part is over I'll still want to be with him through the hard times and the good ones too." I confessed meaning each and every word.

"See I want that now." Kim declared.

"Want what exactly?" I asked.

"That what you just described. I'm tired of sleeping around and having all this useless relationships just for one night of meaningless sex that to be honest isn't always that good. I want my David too who will make me all dreamy eyed like you get when you talk about him. I want to love and be loved by someone I can imagine spending the rest of my life with." Kim admitted sadly.

Her confession touched my heart because I had no idea she was feeling that way. I took one hand off the wheel and grabbed one of hers.

"And you'll get that you just have to be willing to make a change in your life. No offense girl but no guy will settle for you if all he sees is a hoe." I admitted.

"None taken and I totally understand what you mean. I'm going to make that change starting now." She declared.

"Good for you girl. I'm proud of you." I said squeezing her hand for reassurance.

"Thank you for inspiring me." She sniffed holding back tears.

I got a little emotional myself but I did not cry, I wanted to be able to see the road properly.

"Anytime." I replied squeezing her hand once more in reassurance before letting her go and putting both hands back on the wheel.

The rest of the drive was spent with Kim asking for more advice on what to do concerning the life changing decision she'd just made and me being the good friend that I was advised her as best as I could. I was happy for her. Making that decision must not have been easy considering how much she liked her current lifestyle so actually wanting to change it must mean that she really wanted to. All I could do was be supportive and hold her hand as she transitioned. I didn't mean to make it sound so weird but I had no better word to describe what she was going through at the moment. I wished her nothing but the best and I hoped she found what she was looking for.

Thirty minutes later after getting lost twice in this new place we finally found David's gym. I knew he was still there because he'd have texted me already to let me know he was on his way. It was a few minutes past six so I knew he was almost done. He was to be at my place by seven so do the math.

We all piled out of the cars earning a few looks from passers by because of the cars we were driving and more so because of how we were dressed. I was the most decently dressed and I felt as if I was half naked. I hope David came out fast, the less time I spent in this dress out in public the better for me. I don't know why I had agreed to it but I figured out why not. The girls would never stop asking so better get it over and done with fast so I can forget about it.

I didn't want to go in so I suggested we just wait outside. After a few more minutes of waiting my phone pinged with a text and it was David telling me that he was done working out and was about to head over. That meant he was about to come out. I just hoped he wouldn't be mad at me for ambushing him like this. If he became mad at me the three ladies standing next to me would suffer alongside me too. I had dirt on all of them, I just hoped I didn't get to use it. Come to think of it I had dirt on a lot of people considering I was always the sober one meaning I captured a lot of drunk moments that people would rather forget. I rarely used them anyway unless I absolutely needed to.

The gym doors opened making me look up. David walked out talking animatedly with his friends. There was five of them in total and they were all very well built but my eyes were only meant for one person. He was dressed in dark jeans with rips at the knees, a white T-shirt and red bomber jacket in with a gym bag slung over his shoulder. He still hadn't noticed me until one of his friends nudged him and pointed over to us.

He met my gaze and his eyes widened in surprise before a smile lit up his face. I smiled back and gave him an innocent wave. He started walking towards us with his friends following behind him. I stood straight and noticed the girls checking each other up. Definitely looking to score with David's friends. Kim did it too but with less enthusiasm than the twins. Looks like she was really serious about changing.

"Tiny." David greeted when he got closer to me.

"Hey babe." I replied and took that last step to meet him.

He leaned down and pulled me in for a brief hug before kissing my forehead and pecking my lips quick. That was perfect. No need for PDA. I didn't mind it but you had to choose your moments and this wasn't one of them.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"You remember my friends. Kate,Trisha and Kim." I reintroduced and they all gave him a slight wave that he replied with a polite nod. "We were hanging out and decided to surprise you so we could ask you and your friends to go clubbing with us." I explained.

He looked at me like he didn't believe a word of what I'd said and he was right but something about the look on my face made him just trust me and not ask any more questions. I'd talk to him later about it. I just hoped he agreed and went along with it so I didn't have to beg him in front of all our friends. Thankfully he did.

"Sure I don't mind. You guys down?" He asked turning to his friends who all replied with a series of nods and yes apart from one who had to leave.

He had a girlfriend and they had other plans tonight. Lucky him to have gotten out of these torturous plans. After he left it was just David and three other guys. I guess that left an even number so nobody was left out.

"Guys this is my baby Anisha or as I call her Tiny and this are her friends. Tiny this is Mike, Robin and Lucas. He introduced them respectively pointing to each one. They seemed like really nice guys and we all shook hands.

"It's nice to finally meet you Anisha. This one over here won't stop talking about you." Mike teased and then other two backed him up earning a playful glare from David.

"All good things I hope." I replied with a smile.

"Definitely."Robin reassured me.

"So where do you guys what to go?"David asked.

We hadn't really discussed that part and started looking at each other weird until Kate spoke up.

"How about where you guys normally go. "She suggested.

"I don't think that's a place you guys would appreciate going to. It's not the places you're used to." Lucas said stereotyping us but we were used to it so we brushed him off.

"Does it have music and alcohol?"Trisha asked.

"Yes." Robin replied.

"Then let's go." Kate announced enthusiastically.

"Okay then." Lucas agreed with a chuckle.

They stared dividing themselves up as to how we would drive there while David pulled me aside a safe distance away to grill me about the situation at hand.

"Before you ask, I know we had other plans but they talked me into this. More like forced and I'm sorry for ambushing you like that. Just go along with it for tonight and we'll never have to do it again until another birthday comes up."I pleaded.

"Thanks for that bit of information but what I was really going to ask is if you're really okay with all this? "He asked concerned and I couldn't stop the smile that graced my lips. Talk about having a perfect boyfriend.

"Yeah I'm okay because I know you're going to be there. I figured they'd keep pestering me about it so why not give in faster and be done with it."I reasoned.

"Good thinking." He conceded.

"Thank you. And besides it might be the excitement of seeing you after a busy week but I feel as if for once I'm going to have a fun time at the club with you." I admitted and David smiled at me.

He kissed my forehead and pulled me towards him for a hug. That was his way of agreeing to what I had just said.

"Okay love birds let's go before you start making babies on the street." Robin yelled and I blushed hard hiding my face in David's jacket.

"You're a twat. "David replied to him and I know they gave each other the finger.

After I had composed myself I pulled away from David and handed him the car keys. I was done driving in this dress. He opened the door for me and made sure I was good before closing it and walking to the driver's side. Looks like chivalry was still alive.

The drive was short and after a few minutes we got to the club and parked in what I assumed was the safest spot according to David's calculations. Our cars stood out from the few parked outside and I just hoped they would be safe. I could afford a new car and ten more but I really loved that jeep. Kim and Mike who had been riding with us got out too and we all walked inside the bar.

It was actually a nice place, not as extravagant as the places we went to but also not as run down as some other places. There were no bouncers or line outside so we just went in directly earning weird looks from everyone inside. The place was huge with tables strewn all around. There was a make shift stage, the dancing floor and two bars. The place was open area with a few tents where people sat around drinking and talking as they enjoyed the local music being played. It was actually a neat place. They even served food.

"I don't know what you guys were worried about. This place is great."Kate announced as we settled ourselves around an empty table. We were many so we had to grab a few extra chairs from other tables.

"This is the most expensive place around here. Thought you guys would feel more comfortable here than the other places we frequent." Lucas replied.

"Not what we had asked for but we'll take it." Trisha declared.

A few more minutes a waiter approached us and the girls had to allow the guys to order for them because the kind of drinks they were used to weren't served there. I was lucky because my delmonte juice was everywhere. David wasn't drinking either so he ordered the same as me. We had to be the designated drivers after seeing the drinks our friends ordered. David wasn't much of a drinker anyway so I don't think he minded.

The drinks came and we got to bonding over embarrassing stories about each other. Those six were terrible drunks. After around three hours we ordered roast meat from the Choma (grill) base in the bar and it was awesome. There was a band singing in kikuyu and they set a great mood for those out to have fun and there were a few people on the dance floor.

"Want to dance?" David asked after we were done eating.

"I'd love to. It'll help with the digestion seeing as I've eaten too much." I replied taking his hand and he led me to the dance floor.

It was a slow song playing which was good for easing me into the dancing mode. I wrapped my hands around his waist and leaned on his chest as he wrapped his hands around me.

"Did I tell you how amazing you look in that dress? "He asked as we swayed to the beat."

"No you didn't. I thought you didn't like it because it exposes too much skin. I don't like it either." I confessed.

"You look incredible Tiny and its not showing too much, that's just you talking and even if you are let the people look and admire. I know your all mine anyway." He complimented me and I couldn't help but smile.

Didn't I just win the jackpot when it came to boyfriends.

"You look good too." I complimented back pulling away to look up at him.

"All yours." He said and leaned down to kiss me.

Remember the PDA moments I talked about, this was one of them. We were in the middle of other people who were too engrossed in what they were doing to pay any attention to us. We kissed for a few minutes before the songs changed and a faster song came along. I allowed David to lead me with the moves to that song because I had no idea what I was doing. For the first time ever I enjoyed going to the club and it was all because of David. Our friends joined us the dance floor and we went ahead to have the best night ever.

For those curious Kikuyu is one of the most popular local languages in Kenya.

I hoped you enjoyed reading that. I've gotta stop typing now because my fingers are numb.

Double update because of the long silence.
