all of the sudden

(not)good enough

it had been a week since dylan told me we'd better stay friends. I decided not to think about him so I was getting ready for a date with a guy I met at a coffee shop a few days ago. his name was noah. also he was super handsome and funny. as I was getting ready I heard the door bell.
"y/n can you get that?" julia yelled from her bedroom.
"yep." I ran to the door and opened it. dylan was standing there looking up and down at me.
"woah." was all he said.
"and hi to you too." I said and went aside so he could come in.
"are you going somewhere? I was hoping we could hang out I was bored."
"yes I'm goin-" before I could finish julia yelled from her room again "she's going on a date with a super hot guy she met at a coffee shop."
"oh well have fun." dylan said like he didn't care at all.
"sorry we can't hang out."
"no it's okay I just stay here with julia."
I got upstairs and got fully ready in my room. I was wearing my earrings when the doorbell rang again.
"y/n it's for you." dylan said from downstairs.
"I'm coming." I took my shoes and ran downstairs.
"hi noah."
"hi y/n. wow you look beautiful."
"thanks." I blushed.
dylan was still standing with us waiting for us to leave.
"oh I almost forgot. noah this is dylan. my roommate's brother."
"nice to meet you dylan." noah said politely offering his hand.
"you too. and I'm y/n's best friend too."
"yes we're buddies. now let's go noah."
I said as I looked at dylan confused. he just smiled at me. we said goodbye and left.

noah took me to a nice Italian restaurant near his house. he was so funny and polite during the night. he was telling about his job but all I could think about was dylan and the way he acted. so I just tried to be polite and nodded at noah acting like I was listening.

we finished our dinner. I was about to take out my wallet from my purse but noah didn't let me and insisted that he should pay. after he payed we were walking to his car when he said "we can go for some drinks if you'd like. there is a nice bar down the street."
"oh I'm actually tired. I think I should go home. but maybe another time?" I knew noah was not the type of guy that wants to get in my pants but I really didn't want any drinks. I just wanted to go home.
"yeah sure. no problem."
we got in the car and drove to my house. dylan's car was still in the driveway so that meant he was still there. I told noah I had a lot of fun and we said good night.

I opened the door and walked in. I saw dylan sleeping on the couch with the tv on. he must've fell asleep while watching tv.
I went to the guest room and grabbed a blanket from the closet. I went back downstairs and as I tried cover dylan with the blanket he opened his eyes.
"hey. did you have fun on your date?" he said sleepily. "hi. yeah I did. sorry did I wake you?" I whispered.
"no it's okay." he mumbled.
"do you want to sleep in the guest room?"
"no I'm good. too tired to get up."
"okay." I kissed his forehead and was about to walk away when dylan called me. "y/n?"
"yes?"
"I hate that guy."
"who noah?"
"yes."
"why?"
"he's not good enough for you."
