That night David was in a deep sleep when his phone rang loudly, rudely waking him. He groaned checking the clock, it was 4:30 A.M! 19Please respect copyright.PENANA6RyxoFvAhv
19Please respect copyright.PENANAsFCm9ff49U
“Blimey, who is this?” He muttered reaching over nearly knocking over his alarm. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAdohUWgdoki
19Please respect copyright.PENANAcf9NRWkgly
David yawned answering. “Hello?’ He said trying to focus, bit hard with the classical music blasting in the background. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAv9azNW14Ug
19Please respect copyright.PENANA24xPDykHdz
It didn't take a genius to figure out it was Matt. He loved classical music! That was his ASMR! 19Please respect copyright.PENANAsyP4uMv1Ns
19Please respect copyright.PENANAg0E2mRBGgg
“Hey,” Matt replied. “Been trying to reach you. Where you been?” He asked.19Please respect copyright.PENANApOMyETRsth
19Please respect copyright.PENANAfoYiSVVVHz
David cringed realizing he forgot to call, it was just so late when he got back it slipped his mind. 19Please respect copyright.PENANA3xDFB4hEMM
19Please respect copyright.PENANAITGdmoA9zc
David sighed sitting up. “Yeah, sorry,” He apologized. “Amy told me you called but I completely forgot.” David explained. “What’s up?” He asked. 19Please respect copyright.PENANArvVtPxMUuY
19Please respect copyright.PENANAQu88p9PRTW
“I want to find my soulmate.” Matt replied instantly.19Please respect copyright.PENANAoUeviGxfvZ
19Please respect copyright.PENANACVs0yBHSnV
David wasn’t sure he heard right. “Sorry?” He yawned. 19Please respect copyright.PENANArtCk5jbA2r
19Please respect copyright.PENANAo5nons616o
Matt sighed. “I’m ready to find my soulmate,” He repeated. “Did I stutter?” He remarked.19Please respect copyright.PENANAHFMGO3deS2
19Please respect copyright.PENANA9ktL8xUGaE
David just shook his head. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAFdgESv58ol
19Please respect copyright.PENANAZYTgwQkSJq
“Okay, great,” He replied. “But um, what does that have to with me?” David asked. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAdKIBXuf31g
19Please respect copyright.PENANAyQLxgV3cfa
Matt scoffed. “Hello, you’re the matchmaker,” He replied. “So, make me a match or however that song goes.” He muttered unsure.19Please respect copyright.PENANAgnI9FGvlHM
19Please respect copyright.PENANAqj6ocIN2kf
David choked out a laugh. “Well, there’s a little more to it than just that,” He replied. “Anyway, what brought this on? Whatever happened to ‘Mr. Free Spirit,’ ‘Mr. No Ties Can Bind Me’?” David lightly mimicked. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAw2Y9eI6Pc7
19Please respect copyright.PENANA2DGLLfzwtz
Matt exhaled almost sounding defeated. “Honestly, after River left, I realized it’s time I find a wife and settle down.” He explained. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAyv4RkHY5BR
19Please respect copyright.PENANA8OMsIUfUv6
It now suddenly made sense to David, but still he wasn’t too surprised. After all they were together a long time and Matt really liked her. He even dared to use the word ‘love.’ And they were the perfect couple like right out of a movie, but Matt just kept putting off the subject of marriage for so long that River couldn’t wait anymore and left. He really took it hard. 19Please respect copyright.PENANA5do2i70UrD
19Please respect copyright.PENANAQjxurC9ByD
“I don’t want to be alone,” He continued. “I already messed things up with River, I can’t live like this. I can’t be a flirt, forever.” Matt finished. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAGX6P458qzj
19Please respect copyright.PENANAZWuvm2bu2X
David just nodded understanding. “Okay, that’s fine but why me?” He questioned. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAJxb9IrDOsI
19Please respect copyright.PENANAPssd1okHjC
Matt scoffed. “Oh, come on you’re the best,” He replied. “I mean just a few years ago you successfully set up Bill and Heather, the two most pickiest singles ever” He reminded him. “Blimey, Heather nearly sent Bill to the hospital their first date!” He recalled chuckling. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAl7MDeEKbKx
19Please respect copyright.PENANARfY5cG98Yo
David quickly scowled. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAKlbcuEIrDl
19Please respect copyright.PENANAV3prv6JVT1
“Oi,’ that was an accident! Heather was only trying to help Bill unclog that shower drain,” David insisted. “And besides the poor girl has a bloody star in her eye that would cause anybody issues with their vision.” He defended. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAQpFm6LpgKs
19Please respect copyright.PENANAbGUav8vw3D
Matt groaned out a laugh. 19Please respect copyright.PENANATGv3FS705U
19Please respect copyright.PENANACwDkpdp31F
“Yeah, well, the point is there celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary and it’s all because of you!” Matt told him. “So can you help me?” He asked again. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAJtzjVsNXwH
19Please respect copyright.PENANAdWfNJhpDjB
David was a bit torn. He wanted to, Matt was his friend, but he had this thing about mixing business and friendship, he had always heard horror stories about how awkward that could turn out. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAeQvSStGbXL
19Please respect copyright.PENANAKiN5Rtbxzo
“Um, I don’t know.” He replied reluctantly. 19Please respect copyright.PENANASC1OVI6FsL
19Please respect copyright.PENANAHr36mx2UiU
But Matt wasn’t giving up! “Please,” Matt begged. “I promise to take this very seriously and I won’t cause any problems. You’ll be completely in charge!” He swore. “Besides you’re the only one I trust.” Matt added sincerely. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAZW14uzd4SJ
19Please respect copyright.PENANAKCTySBoWmD
David winced. Matt now had him. But the thought of helping his childhood friend find a suitable partner sounded really nice. Besides, Matt deserved a happy forever just as much as any of his clients did. So, how could he say no to that?19Please respect copyright.PENANA97R8R9FjYz
19Please respect copyright.PENANAz5jsSCdyio
David finally relented. “Alright,” He replied. “Meet me tomorrow morning at my office and we’ll do an interview and go from there.” David said.19Please respect copyright.PENANANbAHFfYHLw
19Please respect copyright.PENANAL5ja3p2q6u
“Yes, thank you,” Matt replied gratefully. “And I promise any future kids we have will be named after you, my friend!” He promised. 19Please respect copyright.PENANAPDfbRmvJqI
19Please respect copyright.PENANAGmuplT5OpH
David smirked at that. “Yeah, sure, brilliant!” He replied. 19Please respect copyright.PENANApJebbW0Pqq
19Please respect copyright.PENANAexUHQU1FiE
The two set up a time before hanging up. David sat up a bit and sighed. He felt pretty good about helping his friend maybe this could work out! After all this was his best friend since grade school, what could go wrong? 19Please respect copyright.PENANAGA0NwHfJWo
19Please respect copyright.PENANAFAdPOtcQ0R
Feeling more confident, he finally settled back into bed feeling better about his decision.19Please respect copyright.PENANAx0n2d2oQGS
