(Y/BFF/N = Your Best Friend's Name

After a long and arduous job hunt, you decided to hand in your last resume for the week today. Finding work in L.A. was not easy, mainly since you had limited experience.

You threw yourself on your couch and reached for the remote to enjoy another date with Netflix for the evening. Just as the T.V. turned on, your phone rang. It was Y/BFF/N.

"Hello?" you answered, yawning.

"Hey, bestie! How's the job hunt going?"

You sighed, "It's going, but no results so far. I just handed in my last resume for this week."

Y/BFF/N gasped cheerfully, "So what are your plans for the rest of the night?"

"I'm going to order takeout and watch movies until I fall asleep," you replied flatly.

Y/BFF/N scoffed, "Not if I have anything to do with it! Get your butt off the couch. I'm taking you out."

"But-"

"I'll see you in an hour," she replied abruptly before hanging up.

You were really in no mood to go out tonight, but you knew how stubborn Y/BFF/N was and arguing with her would consume more energy than the actual night itself.

You jumped in the shower, washed your hair, and ran to your closet to pick out an outfit. You decided on a short red body-con dress with a strappy back and paired it with some black stilettos and a black clutch. You quickly curled your hair and did your makeup. Looking at yourself in the mirror, you couldn't believe that just an hour ago, you were in your sweats on the couch. You knew you deserved to have fun, so before leaving, you poured yourself a shot of tequila and downed it to loosen up the nerves.

Y/BFF/N ended up taking you to an Irish pub. The atmosphere was exactly what you needed. There was a small dance floor at the front, tables along the side, and a huge bar lined almost the entire side of the pub. It was still pretty early, and neither of you had eaten yet, so you sat at one of the tables and ordered a burger and some fries. You hadn't seen Y/BFF/N in a while, so it was nice to talk and catch up properly.

Coincidently, after you finished eating, the lights in the pub turned off, and the strobe lights turned on, along with the volume of the music. Y/BFF/N ordered some shots, and the two of you loosened up completely.

Out of the corner of your eye, you suddenly noticed a cute guy approaching your table, and he seemed to be making a complete beeline towards Y/BFF/N.

You quickly pulled Y/BFF/N towards you.

"Hottie at 3 o'clock, heading straight towards you!" you whispered slightly louder than you intended to.

"What? Where!"

"Shh! Act subtle," you giggled.

"Hey there," the guy said directly to Y/BFF/N.

Y/BFF/N blushed, "Hey yourself."

The guy chuckled sweetly, and you could immediately tell that he was nervous.

"Do you... I mean, w-would you maybe want to dance?" he asked politely.

Y/BFF/N quickly winked at you. "With you?" she teased, turning back to him.

The boy scratched the back of his neck nervously, "Yeah, but only if you want to."

You shook your head and quickly interjected to save the poor guy, "She's just teasing. Of course, she'll dance with you."

You pushed Y/BFF/N towards him.
