Y/N - your name

"What do you think about the blue off the shoulder shirt with black high waisted jeans?" I ask my best friend Hanna. "I don't know Y/N. You're going on a date with David Brooks to a really nice restaurant. Maybe try a dress." She says as I nod as walk to my closet and grab my favorite white dress with floral patters on it.

"Is this alright?" I ask as I walk back into my room. She nods with a massive smile on her face. "I love it. Now go put it on so I can start on your makeup. I don't need you being late for this date after I set it up." She says as I nod but roll my eyes. "I've never been late to a date." "Umm what about Shawn?" She asks as she lifts up her right eyebrow. "Once." I hiss as I take off my pajamas and put the dress on.

"Now, imma do a natural look if that's alright?" She asks as I nod and sit opposite her on my bed. "Is David nice?" I ask as she nods. They are close mates but with his football career, he has never had the chance to meet me. "He is really sweet and super kind. I think you two will fit perfectly, like baked beans on toast." She says as I roll my eyes but smile at her comment.

"I searched him last night. He is very cute." I say as she nods and puts blush on my cheeks. "I had a massive crush on him when we went to the same school but he sister zoned me and ever since that day, I've only ever saw him as a brother." She says as I nod and smile.

"And done! You look so pretty friend." She says as I blush at her comment. "Thank you. Do you think he'll like me?" I ask, letting my insecurities take over me. "Yeah! You're stunning Y/N! Like I say, I wouldn't have organized this date if I knew you two wouldn't work." She says as I nod, feeling more at ease.

I was stood outside a cute restaurant that had fairy lights outside. I walk inside and smile at the receptionist. "Good evening ma'am. Do you have a reservation?" An older man with bushy grey eyebrows and a black suite asks as I nod, "Good evening. Yes I do under the name Brooks." I say as he checks the list and nods, "Right this way ma'am." He says as he leads me to the back of the restaurant.

I look at the table to see no one seated there. "Are you eating alone miss?" The man asks as I shake my head no. "No, the guy I'm going on a date with is just late." I say as he nods and smiles down at me. "Can I get you something to drink whilst you wait?" He asks as I nod, "Just a water please." I say as he smiles down at me and walks away. I twiddle my thumbs as I look around the restaurant. Maybe David is here and this man has taken me to the wrong table. I tell myself but can't find him anywhere as I slump into my seat.

I look down at my phone for the thousandth time this evening to see that David was an hour and a half late. "Hi Y/N. How much longer will Mr Brooks be?" The old man, who's name I now know is Jerry, asks as I shrug, "He was meant to be here an hour and a half ago." I say as he gives me a sympathetic smile. "Do you want to order? I'm sure you're dying of starvation." He says as I shake my head. "I'll just have the bill. I think imma leave." I say as he nods and gives me a sad smile and walks away.

I grab my phone and press on Hanna's contact. The phone rings twice before she picks up, "Hey Y/N. How's the date?" She asks as I sigh. "He's not here." "What?!" "I've been sitting here for an hour and a half. I'm just gonna go home. I've already asked for the bill." "No! I'll give him a call." "I don't want to speak to him. I don't think you understand how embarrassed I am. I'm just gonna go down to McDonalds and get something small to eat there and then I'll come over to your house." I say as Jerry brings my bill and places it on the table. I give him a warm smile as he walks away.

"I'm so sorry Y/N." "Hanna, it's not your fault. Clearly we weren't meant to be." I say as I hear her sigh. "I'll see you soon." She says as I say a small goodbye to her. I quickly pay the bill and look at Jerry who has come to collect my payment. "How was your night Y/N?" He asks as I chuckle. "Well, it was pretty horrible." "Besides what happened with your date?" He asks with a smile as I laugh, "It was great. Thank you for making my night at least a little bit better." I say as he stands up and smiles at me, "Of course Miss. Have a great night further." He says as I nod and walk out the restaurant.

I take a quick walk to McDonald's as I walk in and order a happy meal, to make me happy of course. I sit down and eat my food in peace until I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to be faced with a sweaty David Brooks. It look every thing in me to not roll my eyes at his presence. "Hi love. Are you Y/N?" He asks as I turn my attention away from him. "Yup." I say, popping the "p".

"Y/N, I'm so sorry about being late." He says as he sits opposite me. I see he has his own happy meal with him. "Being late is an understatement." I say as he sighs. "I basically ditched you... I know and I'm so sorry. Training went on way to long. I promise I didn't purposely ditch you. If I did, I wouldn't have sprinted here and ordered a happy meal." He says as he motion to the meal that was in front of him. I stifle a laugh as I stare at him. He looked guilty as his hair was still wet from the shower he must have had at home.

"It's okay. I understand. The fact that you came here makes me believe you." I say as he breathes a sigh of relief. "Thanks love. I wasn't gone ruin this opportunity of talking to such a pretty lady." He says as I feel my cheeks and ears heat up. "How did you know I was here?" I asks as he smiles at me, "Hanna called me and told me that you were here. She was mad." He says as I laugh, "Hanna mad is someone you should avoid." I say as we both laugh. "So, tell me about yourself beautiful." He says as he takes a bite of his chicken nuggets.
