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! 22Please respect copyright.PENANA2RCV8gcC5f
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZIXH8jmB5
“Blimey, who is this?” He muttered reaching over nearly knocking over his alarm. 22Please respect copyright.PENANARtt5sKUY0J
22Please respect copyright.PENANAHl8oGWeAsZ
David yawned answering. “Hello?’ He said trying to focus, bit hard with the classical music blasting in the background. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAM0qbBOqrmS
22Please respect copyright.PENANAXHkIzSDpyR
It didn't take a genius to figure out it was Matt. He loved classical music! That was his ASMR! 22Please respect copyright.PENANA07wlgRnR9Z
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUZvnubq2yi
“Hey,” Matt replied. “Been trying to reach you. Where you been?” He asked.22Please respect copyright.PENANAI7nl21VZwS
22Please respect copyright.PENANAgSN86Y4uNQ
David cringed realizing he forgot to call, it was just so late when he got back it slipped his mind. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAYACJffGCGM
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUdLAiJ5RrD
David sighed sitting up. “Yeah, sorry,” He apologized. “Amy told me you called but I completely forgot.” David explained. “What’s up?” He asked. 22Please respect copyright.PENANASy7AeATa5C
22Please respect copyright.PENANA7jrXPQp1gA
“I want to find my soulmate.” Matt replied instantly.22Please respect copyright.PENANAJYf4O1mwjy
22Please respect copyright.PENANA4TB15G4v6U
David wasn’t sure he heard right. “Sorry?” He yawned. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAVqmUBucSv1
22Please respect copyright.PENANAfXsbZHNvXk
Matt sighed. “I’m ready to find my soulmate,” He repeated. “Did I stutter?” He remarked.22Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ2dDPoyva
22Please respect copyright.PENANAkDGxcRs0iQ
David just shook his head. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAMW09OQ3l0s
22Please respect copyright.PENANAQtDM7TgMkZ
“Okay, great,” He replied. “But um, what does that have to with me?” David asked. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAnTeuJIEXKn
22Please respect copyright.PENANAnXhatnctwG
Matt scoffed. “Hello, you’re the matchmaker,” He replied. “So, make me a match or however that song goes.” He muttered unsure.22Please respect copyright.PENANATsrOXLphHq
22Please respect copyright.PENANASdJDEGWni8
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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAwVSLcJYaOF
22Please respect copyright.PENANANUEdD3Q3mM
Matt exhaled almost sounding defeated. “Honestly, after River left, I realized it’s time I find a wife and settle down.” He explained. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAxpHU8W7qMj
22Please respect copyright.PENANAfBLeES85C5
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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAHC27n7AoDF
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwiIt39J8GY
“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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAPsT0dMcdOk
22Please respect copyright.PENANAGy3zQZcGny
David just nodded understanding. “Okay, that’s fine but why me?” He questioned. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAqybqduLhFx
22Please respect copyright.PENANADmrgPIx6Dv
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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAAjt88bUNkZ
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwtaBM0bUgN
David quickly scowled. 22Please respect copyright.PENANARZ6q5LZ7kL
22Please respect copyright.PENANAPpBMHUHO53
“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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAeLqabC1UJY
22Please respect copyright.PENANA3GIKoCVhSq
Matt groaned out a laugh. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAQpRMjAPaOB
22Please respect copyright.PENANAUgwD0RMDOx
“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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAFwEpfcFPnK
22Please respect copyright.PENANAtsWqj0RikV
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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAEL1qpRrBmx
22Please respect copyright.PENANAYDJwAmIHEg
“Um, I don’t know.” He replied reluctantly. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ3Dv0mBSe
22Please respect copyright.PENANA8WDCzt7xtE
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. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAuN9uIHqwPO
22Please respect copyright.PENANAwaIo2kSHZR
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?22Please respect copyright.PENANAjob4kFS3xA
22Please respect copyright.PENANAd6tss15yuT
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.22Please respect copyright.PENANAxkFJhNoRAz
22Please respect copyright.PENANAbosmg5lf4C
“Yes, thank you,” Matt replied gratefully. “And I promise any future kids we have will be named after you, my friend!” He promised. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAPMNHs8hzF8
22Please respect copyright.PENANA2rDtWtgDED
David smirked at that. “Yeah, sure, brilliant!” He replied. 22Please respect copyright.PENANAshNiv2T9dA
22Please respect copyright.PENANAs2bckbF8Ow
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? 22Please respect copyright.PENANAFtDcQidyyB
22Please respect copyright.PENANA0JhBDNI4XY
Feeling more confident, he finally settled back into bed feeling better about his decision.22Please respect copyright.PENANARkpPOW7QhU
