You pushed the door open to your little apartment and you let your friend in as you pulled off your heels. You laid them on the ground next to the door and you sat down on the couch next to your friend and relaxed a little.She looked over at you and grinned.
“Oh you liked him” she said. You looked at her puzzled. She wasn’t even looking at you, she was just staring at the roof smiling.
“Brad silly” she said, this time she did look at you.
“Pfff. Yeah right. He was a complete jerk”
“But you liked it. I know you did.
“No, I didn’t. Quit messing with me, I went with you to hang out with your crazy friends today, so please, leave me alone”
“Whatever, you like him” she said to herself but she still heard. You rolled your eyes. She grinned.
You had met her friends before tonight, Brad too. You had never liked each other though. You didn’t understand why she thought anything else this time.
Oh whatever, you would never. Never.
“Y/N?” She said. She was laying on the couch now with a wet cloth over her forehead.
“How do you feel about blind dates?”
“It’s just- I met this guy, not for me of course, but I feel like he would be perfect for you…”
“Ehhh, I guess you have good taste in guys” You said smiling.
“I guess, but he better be good”
“Definetly. You’ll love him”
“Does this seem appropriate?” You said as you adjusted your dress.
“Umm, I mean, you look amazing but… maybe put on a jacket or something over because it’s a bit-”
“Not really, just put on jacket over top, you’ll be fine” Your friend reassured. You stared at the mirror a little running your hand over your dress. Once you were happy with the way you looked, you head out to your car. You said goodbye to your friend. She grinned at you and wished you good luck in tone that sounded a bit sarcastic.
You got in your car and rushed to the restaurant. You were late.
when you finally got to the restaurant, you looked for a table where he might be.
“Oh my god” you rolled your eyes. You walked over to the table and sat down in the chair. You didn’t say hello. You leaned on the back of the chair and you crossed your arms. He looked surprised.
“Oh, now this is what I call a cruel joke” Brad said. You rolled your eyes again, you had a feeling you’d be doing that a lot throughout the night.
“I’m gonna kill her. Now I have to look at you for the rest of the night” you complained. He chuckled.
He took a sipp of his water and then the waiter came by. He handed you the menu.
“Is there anything you need?”
“Just a water thanks” you said. The waiter nodded and left.
“Oh, so you’re staying after all…” Brad said smirking.
“Well I didn’t get all dressed up for nothing”
“Ha! Keep dreaming boy” you smiled this time. The waiter came with the water. “Thank you” you said and took your water. He stared at you with a grin. It made you uncomfortable.
“Out of all the people… It just had to be you”. You didn’t know exactly what he meant. It was probably about the date set up. But the way he said it was a bit weird.
“Fine. If you hate me that much, I’ll leave.” you said and waved to the waiter signaling for the check. You pulled some money out of your purse to pay for the water.
“No, no you don’t have to pay” he admitted.
“It’s just some water I’m not letting you pay.”
“Fine, then have more than just water”
“I never said I wanted you to leave, I got all dressed up too”
“Alright. Since you’ll miss me so much, I’ll stay.” You decided. “But I’m not letting you pay”
“Even though it’s you, I still am a gentleman. I pay”
“Fine, then let’s play a game to make this date less miserable.” he grinned.You cupped your hands around your face and leaned on the table paying attention.
“Loser pays for dinner. We ask each other stuff and have normal conversations. But, we can’t answer anything with yes or no.”
“Okay” you agreed. The waiter came by.
“Did you need something?”
“Ye-” You looked at Brad. “I wanted to order actually”
“Almost lost the game” Brad cut in.
“Oh, I’m gonna win. Prepare your wallet, I’m ordering expensive.”
The waiter laughed discretely. But you both noticed. You ordered your food and continued to try and trick each other into saying yes or no. Neither of you lost.
It had already been a few hours.Once you really got to know him, he wasn’t that bd, you were actually worried you would catch some feelings. No. Just focus on the game. Don’t lose.
You took of your jacket exposing your bare shoulders. Your friend had told you to wear a jacket for a reason. Brad’s eyes widened, but he tried to hide it. You tried to hide your grin.
“Trying to distract me with your looks, huh? Cheater” he said and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt leaving part of his chest out for everyone to see. You blushed and tried to look away.
“Where you really that disappointed when you saw I was your date?” he asked. You thought carefully about your answer, avoiding the words yes or no.
“I guess I was just expecting something else… I mean, everyone knows we’re not too fond of eachother”
“I think you just assume too much of me, I mean yeah, sometimes I can be a jerk, but if you really get to know me, I’m more that I appear.”
You actually were having a good time, though you refused to admit it. You were a bit worried you would lose, because even though the food was amazing, it was really expensive. Brad was staring at you with a grin, making you uncomfortable once again.
“I really thought one of us would have lost by now, anyways, I’m full” He said as he leaned back in his chair and he waved to the waiter to come.
The waiter came by and looked at Brad.
“Um, check please, you don’t want anything else do you?” He said to you.
“What?” you said confused.
“I hate you!” you said once you realized you had answered with ‘No’.
“Ha! Check please.” The waiter nodded and left. You crossed your arms and leaned back into your chair. The waiter came and handed you the bill.
“Wow. Ok. Like I said earlier, even though it’s you, I’m still a gentleman. Let’s split the bill because I don’t even have this much money on me right now.”
“Thanks” you said relieved.
Once you both got out of there he walked you to your car.
“So, now that we’re done, can I ask you one last question?” Brad said.
“Do you like me?” he asked. You blushed.
“Can I answer with yes or no?”
“I would rather you answered with yes”
“Good” he said and he put his hand behind your neck to pull you in for a kiss.
You walked in and closed the door to you apartment. You leaned on the door and smiled. Your friend was sitting on he couch. She looked over at you and saw you smiling.
