I Went on a Date with My Brother’s Friend – Turned out It Was a Trap

Stewart leaned against the wall, looking miserable. “I’m really sorry, Jess. I didn’t know he’d pull something like this.”

I shrugged, angry and drained. “It’s not your fault. My brother’s an idiot.”

Adam arrived, his smug grin making my blood boil. “Hey, folks. Problem with the bill?”

I shot him a glare. “This isn’t funny, Adam. You went too far. Why did you set this trap for us? For your own amusement? It’s completely unacceptable.”

He waved his hand dismissively. “Alright, alright. I’ll pay. Relax.”

Adam strolled in, and moments later returned with a receipt. “There. All settled. Happy now?”

“You think this is a joke? You humiliated me,” I snapped.

Adam shrugged. “Lighten up, Jess. It was just a prank. I wanted to spice up your lives a bit, give you guys a little adventure.”

Stewart looked between Adam and me. “I’m really sorry. I had no idea.”

“It’s okay, Stewart. This isn’t your fault,” I said, my glare fixed on my brother.

We stood outside the restaurant, the night feeling heavy and cold. The security guard kept a close eye on us. Stewart shifted uneasily. “I hope you can forgive me, Jess. I’d like to make it up to you.”

I nodded slowly. “Maybe. I just need some time to think.”
