Chapter 26: Dinner

Karas POV

After David put the woman's number in the trash, he went back to running on the treadmill. The personal trainer I will be working with came over to me.

" Hi, my name is Layla," the woman stated.

" My name is Kara," I stated.

" So you know David," she stated as she pointed to him.

" Yes he is my sensi." I stated.

" He was mine as well. I took his karate class. I stopped taking karate because I got married and then got pregnant." she stated.

It was a relief to hear she was married. I knew that married people still cheated, but usually it was the man that did it. Women hardly ever cheat on their spouses. I have never had an encounter with a woman who had been divorced because they cheated. But I have not been all over the world yet. I have been to a handful of states.

" Let's go over to the mat and talk about what kind of plan you want and what your main focus is going to be while working out." she stated.

We went over to the mat. We sat down and started to discuss what I wanted to do with my body. I wanted to build strength in my legs and arms. I also wanted to stretch the muscles in my legs because they always felt tight. We came up with a game plan. We started with stretches.

I purposely pointed my butt in David's direction. I wanted to tease him a little bit. I knew I was playing with fire by doing that. But I did not care. I finished stretching. Then I went and got on the treadmill to his right. We ran on the treadmill for a while. I had worked up a sweat. He stayed on his treadmill the whole time I was on the treadmill.

I thought that was sweet. We got done and stretched. I then went to take a shower. I noticed he went to the men's locker room and took a shower as well. I finished my shower. He was already waiting for me. We were about to leave when I remembered that I had not paid for my membership. I walked dup to the front counter.

The lady pointed to David and said that he had already paid for it. I turned around and walked up to him.

" Why did you pay for my membership?" I asked.

"Because you're my girl," he stated.

" But I'm very capable of paying for things on my own," I stated.

He then changed the subject.

" Let's go out to dinner," he stated.

" That sounds good," I stated.

" Let me just call my mother and let her know." I stated.

I walked over to the counter and called my mother's cell phone.

" Mother, I'm going out for dinner with David," I stated.

" Kara be careful, he is much older than you," mother stated.

" I know." I stated.

" Love you mother." I stated

I then hung up the phone. My cell phone was in my purse, but it was packed in my new gym bag. I walked over to where David was waiting.

" Are you ready?" he asked.

" Yes," I stated.

We left the gym hand in hand. Everyone was staring at us. I did not care. I knew he was much older than me. That did not bother me. It was my choice to be with him. He asked if I wanted to give a relationship with him a try. I was happy about our arrangement. He opened the door to the passenger seat. I climbed in.

We headed to dinner. We pulled up to a very nice restaurant. I knew I was under dressed. So was he. He didn't seem to mind.

" Mr. David, your table is ready," the doorman stated.

" Thank you, George," David stated.

He led us to the balcony. There was a table for two. He ordered himself some wine. I was too young to drink, so I ordered a coke. I looked over the menu. There was so much to choose from. I chose a side salad. Then I ordered a hamburger and french fries. That was all that I could really make out on the menu. He ordered himself a steak dinner.

Our salads came first. We enjoyed them in silence. I finished mine. I was hungry. I ate breakfast was the last time I ate. Then my hamburger came and his steak came.

" What are you going to school for exactly," he asked.

" Nursing," I stated.

" That is a rewarding career," he stated.

I thought it was. I have always liked working with people.

" I want to get my LPN." I stated.

" So you want to be up there with doctors," he stated.

" Yes I do." I stated.

We finished our dinner.

" Do you want dessert?" he asked.

" No." I stated.

He paid the bill. Then we walked to the car. Again he opened the door for me. I climbed in. I thought he was going to take me home. I was wrong. We went to his house. From the outside, it was beautiful. There was a driveway. It was lined with beautifully manicured bushes. There were trees that were perfectly trimmed.

The house was a two sory. You can tell from looking at it. When we pulled up to the front door, I expected someone to come get the car and put it in the garage. Nobody did. Instead, he got out and opened the door for me. He held out his hand and helped me out of the car. He shut the door.

We then walked to the front door, and he opened it for me. We went in. We were greeted by a little old lady.

" Good evening David and ma'am." she stated.

" Good evening Nellie," he stated.

" This is Kara." he stated.

" Nice to meet you," Nellie stated.

" Can I get dinner going sir." she asked.

" No, we have eaten already," I stated.

She then took our bags and left. David and I went into the kitchen.

" Do you want some coffee?" he asked.

" No, thank you." I stated.

He made a pot of coffee. He poured himself a cup. We then went to the living room. He started a fire in the fireplace. That was romantic. We sat down on the couch.

" Kara come here." he stated.

" OK." i stated.
