I slowly open my eyes to the sheer white curtain flying over the doorway to the balcony I have in my room. The sun shines on my white spreadsheet that I'm covered with. What happened?

I look at my phone for the time; 8:05. I remember the take away with Charles at his apartment but after that, I don't remember a thing or two.

I look at my bedside table and I spot a  note.

You looked tired after pizza so I put you in your bed. Call me when you can.

P.S. Colour your apartment. :)

- Charles

I smile at the small message he left me. I put my head back into the pillow, sinking in the soft matteress. I stare at the ceiling for a couple of minutes. I think about last night. Words cannot describe how happy I am. I feel like starting a new healthy life for myself. Slowly developing myself into a more serious life. Last year was all about parties. This year, it's my year.

I'm starting to like a Monégasque driver who is too charming for me. I have kind of broken my father's wish as well, but that isn't my biggest worry. My biggest worry is that I might fuck this beginning of something like I did in the past. I'm not going to let that happen though. I will fight through this relationship with all my strength. Like I said, a more serious life.

I sigh and sit at the side of the bed, taking off the white covers. I take another look at my phone.

New Message from Daniel
Daniel: Morning Chan! Call me when you can.

I walk in front of the mirror and notice that I have slept in last night's clothes. I sigh and head off into the bathroom, taking a shower and wearing something casual for the day. Once I'm ready, I go into my kitchen and prepare a simple bowl of cereal. Meanwhile, I call Daniel.

"You have a blind date tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock at The Meer."

"Owww, easy there buddy. I don't think I'm up for a blind date. I got my likes into somebody this weekend. Sorry."

"No, no. You're going. I'm setting you up with the perfect guy. Come on, you won't be disappointed."

I need to think this through.

"Remind me the hints you gave me."

"24. Monégasque."

"Okay, that's every eligible bachelor here."

"So you'll go?"

I look at the ceiling and zone out into my thoughts. I mean, Charles fits in this description, but there may be a possibilty that he's recommending someone else.

"You told me it's your friend, right?"

"Yeah, he is. Why?"

I don't think Daniel has many Monégasque friends. Fuck it, I'll risk it.

"It's a date then. I'll meet the mystery man tomorrow evening."

"Awesome! You're going to hit it off. I'm sure of it."

"I hope so. What have you planned for the day?"
