you that night. He seemed serious about his feelings and so I wish the best for both of you. If anything goes wrong, however, know that I am here and I will gladly cut his balls off if he hurts you.”
Teagan opened her arms wide and pulled Sasha to her chest. “You’re the bestest friend I’ve ever had, Sasha. I love you and I just want you to be happy!”
Sasha smiled through her watery tears. “You made me cry, Teagan!” They laughed together. “I love you too, best friend.”
They both parted ways at the sound of their doorbell. Teagan pinched Sasha’s cheeks affectionately before running to their front door. Dina stood at the threshold dressed in a beautiful red number. Teagan had met her a couple of times during her visits to the diner but the two had never really held any long conversation. Awkwardly, Teagan said hello and motioned for Dina to enter their tiny apartment.
Just like herself, Teagan noted that Dina was above average height. However, she had a voluptuous figure that was pleasantly highlighted by the bold red dress. Her hair was in its normal wild state; it was like a lion’s mane that fell down to her rounded shoulders with a single braid in the front that was decorated by dark beads. Afro-centric and outspoken, Dina had an affectionate personality and was very likeable so Teagan had no problem with her accompanying them.
“How’s it going, Teagan? You look amazing!” Dina smiled widely.
“Thank you! The same to you.”
As they spoke to each other, Sasha made her way from her room. The wedged heels added three inches to her height and brought out the muscular strength in her legs, due to years of running. Dina, amazed at Sasha’s transformation, squealed in excitement.
“Oh my god, you look great!”
Seeing Dina’s authentic response to her dress and remembering Teagan’s compliments, Sasha felt a surge of renewed confidence. She had never been very skinny but neither had she considered herself to be overweight. But the events of the week had given her a sense of her own worth, something that she had rarely considered before. If she had not been working at the diner or studying, she had continually found herself spending time with Dmitri who was not at all shy about expressing his appreciation of her physical attributes. A part of her would still look at him in disbelief. She would never have guessed a man as handsome as him would ever give her a second glance. But he had. Over the rest of her friends no less!
She smiled thinking of him. He had been severely disappointed to find that she had previous plans of spending time with her friends but had tried to hide it by saying he would be busy with a new client at the PR firm. Seeing his response had been another ego-boost. Every day she spent with him in whatever context made her feel beautiful and she was slowly starting to believe it was true.
“Faye and Jaelynn said they would meet us there. So we can head out now,” said Teagan.
Sasha’s shy smile almost immediately disappeared at that. She had not spoken to either of them in quite a long time. In the case of Faye, it had been on purpose. The night Faye had vindictively deserted her at the bus stop had been a wake-up call, spurring her desire for a new start somewhere else. It had been a realization that the friendships she had assumed meant something to at least a certain extent were just a figment of her own imagination.
Inviting them tonight had been her last desperate attempt at forming a bond with them. She had promised herself that she would not give her all to someone who had no intention of giving anything back.
“Okay, let’s go, then.” Sasha exclaimed excitedly.
Sasha swished her hips alongside Dina to the sound of the reggae coming from the DJ’s bass. For the first time, she was enjoying herself without feeling like an outsider, an observer. They had been dancing together since after the group had separated from getting drinks. Sasha had kept a
