I Went on a Date with My Brother’s Friend – It Was a Setup

My brother recently arranged for me to go on a date with his friend Stewart, which ended up being a disaster. We found ourselves stuck at a fancy restaurant with an unpaid bill, and as the manager threatened to call the police, I realized the extent of Adam’s plan. I was left wondering how we were going to get out of this mess.

“You need to meet this guy, Jess,” Adam said, his face lit up as if he had just discovered something amazing. He was comfortably settled on my couch, channel surfing.

“Who are you talking about?” I asked, still focused on my laptop.

“Stewart. He works with me. He’s a great guy. Solid job, nice car, the whole package.”

rolled my eyes. “Is this another one of your setups?”

“No, seriously! He’s different. You’ll really like him. And he’s been asking about you.”

I sighed, skeptical due to Adam’s bad track record with setups, but his enthusiasm about Stewart made me curious. “Alright, but if this goes poorly, I’m not going to trust your setups anymore.”

Adam smirked. “Deal. You’ll thank me later, trust me.”

I spent the next few hours preparing carefully, wanting to make a good impression despite my reservations. By the time I was ready, my apartment was a mess from all the makeup and clothes. Despite my anxiety, Adam’s encouragement kept me going.

Stewart arrived in a shiny new sedan. As I got in, I couldn’t help but notice the car’s clean leather smell and the smooth hum of the engine.

“Hi, Jess?” he greeted me with a genuinely warm smile.

“Yes, that’s me. Nice to meet you, Stewart.”

“Likewise. You look great, by the way.”

I blushed, feeling a bit more at ease. “Thanks. So, where are we heading?”

“I thought we could try this new place downtown. It’s fancy, but the food is amazing.”

“Sounds good,” I replied, surprised by the upscale choice.
