Chapter Two: Tall, Dark, and Handsome

February 28

The next morning was a slow start for Amy. She woke up around 11:00 and didn't get out of bed until 1:00. As she got out of her bed, she remembered that she was going to meet with the girls at Blaze's house.

She walked into her bathroom and slowly stripped out of her clothes. She turned on her shower and waited for the water to be the perfect temperature. As she stood there, she began to scroll through her phone and went on Instagram.

The first picture that popped up on screen was one of Cream and Tails. The newlywed couple was cuddling in bed, with Cream's backside facing Tails' front side. The caption under the picture read 'Mornings with you are the best.'

She couldn't help but smile at the picture. Although she was happy for her, Amy felt a tad jealous. Cream was the only one out of their group to get married to somebody who truly loved her.

She stopped her pity party and went inside the shower. She just stood under the water for a while as she was in deep thought. As she was bathing and thinking to herself, she started to think about that handsome black hedgehog.

She still couldn't believe how incredibly sexy he was. From the look of his intense eyes, the shape of his quills, his cute smile, and most importantly, his six pack. She so desperately wanted to hear his voice. She thought that maybe he had a deep, attractive, voice.

With all this thinking about the mysterious hedgehog, she was totally unware that she was touching herself and was moaning deeply. She quickly moved her hand away from her flower and stood back under the shower head.

'I don't even know the guy and I'm already fingering myself while thinking about him? Get a hold of yourself girl.'

After her prolonged shower, she got dressed in a sweat shirt and leggings with flip flops. She also but her long hair into a messy high bun. She was only to Blaze's house so she didn't have to dress up. Grabbing her keys, she got into her car and drove off to the cat's house.

"You touched yourself because of a guy you barely know?"

"Hmm. Sounds like a typical night for me."

At Blaze's house, Amy sat in-between her two friends as they both asked about the mystery hedgehog. She felt embarrassed when she told what happened in the shower hours ago.

"If you both were there, you would completely understand why I did that to myself. This guy was ridiculously hot."

Rouge looked at her friend with a quizzical look. "Well what does this guy look like? Cause your usually attracted to the preppy and jock type of guys." She said. The only reason she brought that up was because that was Sonic was.

Amy knew what she was referring to and rolled her eyes. "This guy is totally not the type of guy I would go for. He's a black hedgehog, has crimson red strikes, the most gorgeous red eyes I have ever seen, and I can tell he has an amazing body." She sighed dreamily as she placed her hands on her heart.

Rouge and Blaze gave each other weird looks before Blaze spoke. "Well whoever he is, he sounds really attractive. Maybe even more attractive than Sonic perhaps?" she asked as she eyed Amy, who simply agreed with the nod of her head.

"Enough about my little crush," said Amy, "how's the thing going with Silver? Anything new?" Blaze sighed as she threw her head back against the sofa. "I don't know where to start! How are you supposed to tell the guy you've known for years that you want to be more than friends?"

"Good question." Said Rouge as she flipped through a magazine. Blaze rubbed her hands through her hair as she sighed with frustration. "Silver has had two girlfriends in the past year and they both treated him like garbage. One would cheat on him and the other was just with him for his money. I just want to make him happy with me."

As Amy listened to her feline friend rant about her feelings, she snapped her fingers as a idea came to mind. "I have an idea on how to get your point across, but I don't think you're going to like it." Blaze looked at her with anticipation while Rouge leaned in with interest. "Tell me."

"The only thing I can think of to get your point across is to fake a blind date." Blaze shook her head with confusion as she looked upon her pink friend. "Fake blind date? What do you mean?"

Rouge was catching on to Amy's idea, so she explained to Blaze. "She means you'll tell Silver that you have a Blind date coming up. You'll have him help you pick out an outfit, ask him his advice on what to do on the date, and to have him drive you there. Then once you reach the destination of the date, you'll tell him that there never was a blind date and you confess your feelings to him."

The more Rouge spoke of the idea, the more Blaze's mouth opened. She was already too nervous to tell Silver how she really feels, but to do a fake blind date? That was pushing her limit.

"You really expect me to do all of that?! I can barely stand around him without pouncing on him!"

Amy got up from her seat and went to the kitchen. She came back with three wine glasses and a bottle of wine. "Think of it this way," she poured the wine and handed them to the girls, "when you ask him about what clothes to wear and the more things he tells you, it'll help with your confidence. If you don't tell him about the feelings you have for him, some other skank will come and take him away from you."

Blaze nodded her head as she expected the much needed advice from her friends. she didn't just want to date Silver for the money or sex or just to say she has a boyfriend. Ever since they met in their freshman year of college, she had real strong feelings for the hedgehog, but didn't know how to tell him.

"So Rouge, are you still on the mission to make your sugar daddy your husband?" asked Amy as she sipped her wine. Rouge sighed as she leaned back in her seat. "That's the only plan that I have. Besides, it's not like I'm doing anything wrong. I know for a fact his wife is also cheating on him."

"What makes you think that?" asked Amy.

"Last week, I went to mall to return a bra from Victoria's Secret. When I walked past the food court, I noticed his wife with some other guy that clearly wasn't Scourge. They were all over each other . so clearly what I'm doing with her husband shouldn't bother her."

Blaze rolled her eyes at her friends stupid plan. "But if you marry him, it'll be a loveless marriage. You'll only be in it for the sex and money."

Now it was Rouge's turn to roll her eyes. "Unless you can find me a guy who is hot, not stupid, and not broke, then I'll dump scourge."

"I'm sure you can find the perfect guy who will love you for you. Not just for your body either." Stated Blaze as she got more wine.

Amy nodded her head in agreement. "Yeah Rouge. Remember the vow we made at the wedding? You won't find happiness in a loveless marriage."

Even though the bat was very stubborn and could sometimes be argumentative, she knew the girls were right. She didn't feel like she was doing anything wrong when she first started fooling around with Scourge. But then she thought about how they can't be seen in public together. She didn't want to be someone's secret anymore. She wanted and deserved a real man.

"You know what? You two are absolutely right. I deserved to be treated like a lady with respect. Not some hooker off the side of the road."

Amy and Blaze cheered and were happy that their friend finally saw the light. It was already hard enough trying to find a nice guy. She didn't need to be treated like shit.

The girls continued their day off by talking about how to get their perfect man and planning Amy's birthday celebration, which was a week away. Amy stayed at Blaze's house until around 9:00 pm and headed home.

One week later

March 7

Dear Diary,

The day is finally here. I'm now 28, and thank goodness I still have a nice shape. So because it's my birthday, the girls and I are going out to the club. But before we go, the girls are meeting me here at my house to take pictures and do last minute makeup.

For the club, I'm wearing a cherry red strapless dress that ends in the middle of my thighs. The top of my dress pushes up my breasts quite well, so I know I'll be getting stares tonight. I mean, I deserve it. It is my birthday after all.

With my hot dress, I decided to wear white high heels that are red at the bottom. My accessories include a simple silver necklace with a red 'A' on it, matching bracelet, and a cute Michael Kors watch. For my makeup, I just did smoky eyes with black eyeliner and mascara and red lipstick. And my waist length hair was nice and straight and my bangs were curled to the side of my face.

I haven't been out clubbing in a while. The last time I went out to the club was probably when I was with Sonic, which was about close to ten months ago? Eh, I have no idea. All I know is that tonight, I will have some fun with my girls.

I'll let you know if anything interesting happens tonight!

Sincerely,

Amy

After writing her thoughts into her diary, she placed inside her bookshelf. She looked over herself one last time in the mirror to make sure everything was in place before she heard her door bell ring. "Coming!" she yelled as she grabbed her phone and walked downstairs.

Before she opened the door, she looked into the peep hole. All she saw were big tan breast in her view, and she immediately knew it was Rouge. She opened the door, and in came the bat, followed by Blaze.

Rouge wore a purple short tight fitted halter dress that ended mid-thigh. There was a opening on top of the dress to show her amazing cleavage. She wore black strapped heels, and her make consisted of purple eyeshadow with black eye liner, mascara, and deep red lipstick. Her shoulder length hair was in loose curls.

Blaze wore a light pink backless dress and white heels. The front of the dress was a deep v-cut to show some of her cleavage. She had light pink eyeshadow, eye liner, mascara, and pink lipstick. Her hair, which passes her shoulders, was curly for tonight.

"Ohhh I see somebody is ready for their big night." Said Rouge as she gave her pink friend a tiny bag. "Here's your birthday present. I hope you like it!"

Amy opened up her gift, and inside was a white box. She opened the box to reveal a charm bracelet from Pandora. The bracelet was pink and it had cupcake charm, and the number '28' in pink to represent her age. "Awww Rouge, thank you so much!" she hugged her bat and didn't hesitate to put the bracelet on.

"And here's my gift!" exclaimed Blaze as she gave her bag to Amy. The gift was a bit bigger than Rouge's. The pink hedgehog opened up the bag. Inside was bottle of Amy's favorite perfume, Gucci Guilty. She wore the scent pretty much ever where she goes. As she picked up the bottle to admire it, she saw a little bag below. Inside of the clear bag, was a brand new bellow button ring.

"Oh my god! You got me my absolute favorite perfume and a new belly ring! Thank you!" she hugged her purple feline friend. She then sprayed some of the perfume on her and inhaled the scent with a smile. "You two are the greatest friends any girl could ever have."

The three friends shared a group hug then walked out of Amy's house to Blaze's Audi outside. As Blaze drove down to the club, Rouge turned around in the passenger seat to look at Amy. "By the way pinky, we got you this pin to wear."

She handed Amy a pink pin that says 'Birthday Girl' in white glitter. The pink rose giggled as she placed the pin on top of her left breasts. On the way there, the girls sang along to the radio while Rouge recored them on her phone.

Soon enough, the made to the club. As Blaze parked her car, Amy noticed that the line to get inside was very long. "Ugh, by the time we get inside it'll be 3 am, and it's already 9."

They stepped out of the car and fixed their dresses. Rouge smirked as she lead the girls to the doors of the club. "Just leave this to me."

As the reach the doors of the club, a bouncer stood there. He was a very built looking pit bull. Rouge stood in front of him and grin. "Hey Roger, it's me again." Roger looked and noticed the bat as he smiled. "Well hello there. I see you aren't here with Scourge. What the occasion?"

Rouge placed a hand on Amy's shoulder. "It's my friend's birthday, and I thought we need a good time. Can you please let us in?" she batted her long eyelashes at Roger. He rolled his eyes and opened the door for the girls. "Happy Birthday!"

The crowd was filled with complaints as the girls strutted their way inside. Inside of the club was large. The floor was silver and the dance floor was lit with bunch of neon colors. The booths were around the dance floor. The bar was long and was also nicely lit up with three bartenders behind it.

As the three friends made their way towards the bar, they had to pass by all of the people on the dance floor. Some were just having plain old fun on the dance floor, while others looked like they needed a room.

Once they finally pushed their way through, they took a seat at the bar and looked over the menu of drinks. "What are you girls planning on getting?" asked Amy as she scanned through her choices. "Probably a nice cold mojito. What about you Rouge?"

Rouge looked at her choices as she flipped through the menu. "Well I want to get drunk off my ass but not-" she gasped as she looked up and looked over at Amy. "Pinky, don't make it obvious, but there's this really hot guy looking right at you."

Amy pretended to stretch her back, she leaned further into her seat, causing her breast to lay on the table, and her ass to be pushed further out on the seat. Out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed who was staring at her.

She gasped as she flipped her hair over her shoulder and looked at her friends. "Holy shit. That's the guy from the open house!"

She couldn't believe that he was actually here! She looked again just to make sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. But it was true, he was here! He was seating just a few stools away from her.

Blaze looked over at the hedgehog as her eyes widen. "Wow Amy, you weren't kidding when you said he was hot." The pink rose giggled as she twirled her finger into her hair. Rouge eyed the black hedgehog with a smirk. "He is tall, dark, and handsome. Amy you better make a move before he gets away."

Just as Rouge said that, Mr. Tall-dark-and-handsome was making his way over to the girls. "Fix your boobs! He's coming this way!" whispered Blaze in Amy's ear. Amy quickly fixed her bra so her breasts looked more alert. She ran her fingers through her hair and pushed it all on her right shoulder.

Just when Blaze and Rouge were about to leave Amy alone, the dark hedgehog arrived next to Amy. "Hello there." he said with a smooth and dark filled voice as he smiled. Amy quietly gasped as she looked into his blood red eyes. She cleared her throat before she greeted him back. "Hi." She smiled as she flirtatiously twirled her hair around her finger.

"I was looking at you from across the room, and I think I know you from somewhere." He looked into her green eyes intensely, causing her to blush. Before Amy could answer him, he snapped his finger. "You're the real estate agent from the open house, aren't you?"

She giggled as her smile widen. "Yeah that was me."

The two hedgehogs started into each others eyes as they both had a smile on their faces. Rouge noticed this and smirked. She walked up the Amy and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Blaze and I are going to the little girls room. We'll be back."

Amy snapped back to reality as she saw her friends walk away. The handsome hedgehog cleared his throat, catching her attention, and spoke. "So I see it's your birthday. Happy birthday to you." Amy giggled as she flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Well thank you very much. I just turned 28." She rolled her eyes as she grinned.

His eyes widen as he looked upon her body. "You're 28. I could of sworn you just turned 21. You are quite beautiful." He grinned as she blushed even more. She's never met a man that has actually called her beautiful and didn't poke fun at her age.

"Where are my manners," said the handsome red eyed man, "my name is Shadow the hedgehog. What's your name, birthday girl?"

The pink hedgehog smiled as she looked into Shadow's eyes. "My name is Amy Rose."

Shadow gently grabbed her hand that was on her lap and kissed the back of it. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Rose."

'Sweet baby Jesus, this is really happening.' She thought to herself as she mentally pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

"What a coincidence that I would see you here tonight. As your birthday, I figured you would have gone out for dinner." Said Shadow as he sat next the stool on the right of Amy.

She rolled her eyes as she sighed. "That was my original plan, but my friends say that I do that every year. So they decided to take me here. And what brings you here tonight, Shadow?" she asked as she smiled at him.

Shadow chuckled as hand went through his quills. "My friends felt like clubbing and decided to drag me along." He looked slightly annoyed but just laughed it off.

"So why were you at the open house last week? Looking for a house for you and your family?" she asked. She was too nervous to ask straight up if he had a girlfriend, a wife, or kids for that matter. The dark hedgehog once again chuckled at he noticed how nervous Amy got.

"I just recently moved down here from New York. I got tired of the of place, especially when it's winter. And no. there's no girlfriend, wife, or kids." He looked into her eyes as he smirked. "Not yet at least."

Amy also smirked as she looked up at Shadow. Her eyes went south as she quickly checked him out. "How old are you by the way? You're very well built."

"I'm 29. And thank you very much. You look very stunning, might I add."

The pink rose continued her flirtatious antics as she flipped her long hair, batted her eye lashes, and giggled. "Since it's your birthday, how about I buy you a drink?"

"Oh you don't have to."

"Nonsense," he chuckled, "it's the least I can do."

Shadow waved over a bartender and placed two orders of drinks. "Get me rum and coke," he looked at Amy with a smile, "and a pina colada for the birthday girl."

Rouge and Blaze came back from the bathroom and sat further away from Shadow and Amy. They didn't want to cock block the two hedgehogs. They ordered drinks and continued to watch the couple from afar.

"What do you think is going on?" asked Blaze. Rouge squinted her eyes to focus on the pair. "From the looks of it, they're both flirting with each other. And she's doing her flirty routine. And I see he bought her drink. What a gentleman."

Blaze smiled as she watched her friend have a good time with the handsome hedgehog. "I hope they exchanged numbers. They look so cute together!"

Back with the flirty duo, Shadow was cracking jokes and straight up flirting with the beautiful rose. Amy would playfully punch him on his shoulder as she laughed at his antics.

"About that house," Shadow said, "has anybody claimed it yet?"

Amy shook her head. "Nope. Are you interested?"

"Very much so. That was the first house I've seen around this area that I really like."

"Well that's good to hear," she said, "that house has been on the market for a while now."

Shadow finished the last of his drink and placed it on the table. "If I'm not being too forward, is it okay if I have your phone number? I could get that house of your hands and take you out for a nice dinner if you like."

Amy really liked how forward he was being. She liked it when a man took charge, it was one of the things that turns her on.

"Of course you can have my number." She said as she took his phone and typed her number. "And yes, I would love to go to dinner with you." She smiled as she handed back his phone and gave him hers. Shadow gladly took her phone and installed his number and then gave it back.

Shadow continued to flirt with Amy when suddenly he received a text message. He groaned when he read the message and Amy noticed how upset he looked. "Is there something wrong?" she asked with concern in her voice.

"It's just my friends. Their to head out." He got up from his seat and held Amy's small hands in his. "It was a pleasure to get to know you Amy. I'll be sure to contact you about that house and about the dinner date."

He kissed her hands tenderly. "Goodbye Rose. Until next time."

Amy giggled and flirtatiously winked at him. "Bye Shadow. I'll be waiting."

Shadow winked back, and turned to leave, disappearing into the crowd. Amy sighed dreamily as she ran her fingers through her hair. Blaze and Rouge came back with wide smiles on their faces.

"So what happened?" they both asked in unison.

Amy sighed again as a blush appeared on her cheeks. "His name is Shadow. He recently moved here from New York. He's 29. And we exchanged numbers, and he wants to take me out for dinner!"

The girl's squealed as they bounced up and down. to celebrate, Rouge got a round of shots. After a few more hours at the club, the girls got back into Blaze's car and drove home. In the back seat, Amy looked out the window as she smiled to herself.

'I can't wait for my date with Shadow.'
