Third Person POV

"Okay so we're gonna use our 'accounts' and match with theirs-" Dinah said but was interrupted by Zendaya who was on the otherside of the cellphone

"Wait so who am I matching with?" Zendaya asked confused

"You are matching with Y/N and I'm matching with Normani" Dinah explained

"Okay... I just did. What's next?" The model asked

"Now we start a conversation with them and ask to meet up this Sunday at Bestia, that restaurant. Hopefully one sits where they can see the other" Dinah established

"Okay Tony" Zendaya joked

"Bye Chloe" Dinah laughed and ended the call just as Normani walked into the house

"I heard you laughing from the door step loud ass" Normani said as she kicked off her heels

She had just got home from a day of interview. All she wanted at this point was a massage. The singer made her way to the kicthen and grabbed yogurt from the fridge then sat at the kitchen island

Dinah thought this was a great time to ask Normani

"Have you gotten any matches yet?"

"Uh, let me check" Normani replied and opened up the tinder app

"Surprisingly yes" she added as she scrolled through the many potential matches

"Ooh, let me see" Dinah said as she ran into the kicthen

Normani handed her best friend the cellphone before going back to her yogurt

Dinah went ahead and searched for her fake account

"Ooh, this one is cute. His name is Tony short for Anthony. He's 26 loves football and has a smile to die for" Dinah exaggerated

"Let me see" Normani said and reached for her phone

Dinah smirked when she saw Normani typing in Tony's inbox

Y/N and Zendaya were at Zendaya's house watching a movie when Y/N accepted 'Chloe's' request

Zendaya saw this and asked "What are you doing?"

"Uh, just scrolling through tinder" Y/N replied

"Ooh you got a match?" Zendaya questioned as she too got her phone out and went the her fake tinder account

"Yeah" Y/N answered

Zendaya then proceeded to message Y/N as Chloe and followed Dinah's instructions

Normani's POV

"Girl if you don't say yes"  Dinah pressed

Here we are on this beautiful Sunday in my home arguing over a damn date. It was going so peaceful and beautifully until Dinah started bombarding me with questions about the Tony guy on my tinder profile

"Dinah I already told you-" I didn't even get to finish my semtence

"Mani please, I'm getting depressed just watching you sit home all day, repeating everything you do on a daily basis"

"Dinah I said no" I said sternly

Even though I have been talking to Anthony over the past few days, I don't really want to do this dating thing

"I'm getting tired of you, I'm setting you up on a date with one of these persons I feel is worthy of being in your presence which I think is Tony. You're gonna go on that date with a fucking smile on your motherfucking face whether you like it or not" she said standing up with her hands on her hips

Sometimes I wonder who was the older one even though it clearly was me but when she acts like that she leaves me no choice but to wonder

"If you don't like the date then I won't pressure you with it anymore" Dinah added walking away from me and into my closet

I sat there just replaying what she just said in my head

'This bitch' I thought

~》

"Okay and we're done" 

Here we are in my room, Dinah just finished doing my hair and make-up for this date

"So where am I going?" I asked looking down at my outfit she picked out

"Don't worry about that, I already called the Uber and they are supposed to be here in a few minutes and your date is sitting at table 25, since I told them you like privacy" she answered brushing out my hair

I looked in the mirror at my reflection and was impressed

"I look goodt" I said grinning

"Yaaas! Of course that's my bestfriend"she hyped before we heard a car horn blowing outside the complex

"Here you go" she said handing me my bag and two condoms

"Bitch, what do you think I am, giving up the goods on the first date?" I asked giving her the stank face

"Ooh, you said first date, your thinking about going on another?" She grinned

"Okay I'mma head out" I said dismissing the topic and to just get this date over with

Third Person POV

"Why are you so pushy about this date?" Y/N asked her best friend finding it suspicious

"Look, I just want you to find someone who will make our happy. You'll never know if Chloe is that person if you don't go on this date tonight" Zendaya answered which caused Y/N huffed

"Fine, whatever" Y/N said getting my keys and wallet since I was already dressed for the date

Y/N made it to the restaurant just before 8 and sat at a table for two that was closest to the back. Shortly after Normani walked in which Y/N was surprised but she didn't question it

Normani also took a seat to the back of the restaurant, however, it was all the way across the room from where the French woman was seated

~》

The two started to grow impatient as they watched the time go by and their dates have yet to arrive

'I knew this was a bad idea' They both thought

Y/N looked over at Normani and saw that she too was annoyed. The French woman took it upon herself to go over to the singer

"You got stood up too?" Y/N asked gaining Normani's attention

"Hey, yeah..." Normani answered and released a sigh

"Sucks for them. Especially your date, they fumbled the bag big time" Y/N said "mind if I join you?"

Normani blushed at Y/N's words before nodding
