Linda and Amelia had been best friends for as long as they could remember. They shared everything—laughter, secrets, and even heartbreaks.
Linda always dreamed of having the perfect date, but her boyfriend never quite met her expectations. Eventually, the relationship ended. Amelia found out about the breakup when she accidentally saw messages on Linda's phone. She was shocked but decided to cheer Linda up.
The next morning, they went out to have some fun, trying to forget about the breakup. While they were walking, Amelia spotted a man she thought was Linda's ex-boyfriend. Without thinking twice, she pulled out her phone and called a news crew—Linda was a journalist, after all. Soon, they were live on camera.
But Amelia had made a huge mistake. The man wasn't Linda's ex—it was his bodyguard. Realizing what she had done, she was humiliated. Later that day, she locked herself in her room and cried. Linda, always the supportive friend, comforted her.
"There are plenty of great guys out there," Linda said. "You don't have to let one mistake ruin your night."
Amelia wiped her tears and decided they needed a night out. "Let's go to the club," she suggested.
Linda hesitated at first but eventually agreed. They dressed up, complimented each other's outfits, and headed to Neon Night, the most popular club in town. The place was buzzing with energy, but Linda wasn't feeling the vibe. Meanwhile, Amelia got drunk and wandered into the restroom—only to realize too late that she had entered the men's toilet.
To her surprise, she bumped into Andrew—the very bodyguard she had embarrassed earlier.
"Uh… you do know this is the men's restroom, right?" Andrew said, raising an eyebrow.
Amelia's face turned red. "Oh… I—um, I wasn't thinking."
Andrew chuckled as his friend, Anthony, laughed along. Amelia, flustered, quickly left, but Andrew couldn't help but find her amusing.
As the night went on, Amelia lost sight of Linda. Feeling alone, she sat at the bar, unaware that Anthony had been watching her.
"I like her," Anthony admitted to Andrew.
Andrew laughed. "You're crazy."
But soon, the fun took a dark turn. Three men, holding a grudge against Amelia for exposing Andrew on live TV, cornered her. They tried to harass her, but before they could do anything, Andrew showed up just in time.
With swift punches and kicks, he took them down, leaving them bruised and groaning on the floor. No one messed with Amelia on his watch.
Amelia, too drunk to fully process what had happened, could barely stand. Andrew sighed, realizing he couldn't just leave her like this. So, he took her back to his apartment, making sure she was safe for the night.
The next morning, Amelia woke up confused. She didn't recognize the place. Just then, Andrew walked in with breakfast.
"You're awake," he said.
She blinked. "Where… am I?"
"In my apartment. You had a bit too much to drink last night."
Before she could respond, her phone rang. It was Linda.
"Amelia! Where are you? I was worried sick!"
Amelia hesitated before answering, "I'm… at Andrew's place."
"Andrew? The bodyguard?" Linda gasped.
"It's not what you think!" Amelia quickly said, cutting the call before Linda could say anything else.
As she got ready to leave, Andrew stopped her. "Hey… give me your number," he said casually. "Let's go on a proper date. Tomorrow at 10 PM."
Amelia hesitated but found herself smiling. "Okay."
When she told Linda about the date, Linda was excited but nervous. "You want me to come with you?" she asked.
Amelia nodded. "Of course! You're my best friend."
"But… I bring bad luck to relationships," Linda mumbled.
Amelia shook her head. "No, you don't. You're my good luck charm."
Tears welled up in Linda's eyes, but Amelia wiped them away. They hugged, and for the first time in a while, Linda felt hopeful.
The next night, they dressed up in stunning outfits. When Andrew and Anthony saw them, their jaws dropped.
"You both look… breathtaking," Anthony said, unable to take his eyes off Linda.
The night was magical. They laughed, danced, and for the first time in a long while, Amelia felt happy. And when she and Andrew shared their first kiss, it was perfect.
Maybe, just maybe, this was the perfect date she had been waiting for.
THE END.
