Novel & Cerita Meet Your Match

I clutched the strap of my handbag as I stood there shyly with my face flushed. People in the private room looked at me. It was my first time attending this kind of gathering after my mother urged me to get a boyfriend. The room was already fully seated, so I did not know what to do at the moment. The organizer, Kevin Cooper, pulled me into the room with a friendly smile. Everyone in the room tried to make me feel welcome. It was supposed to be a simple party, but it was, in fact, a group blind date setup.

The night before our big offline meetup, my roommate took one look at my internet boyfriend's photo and declared it was a fake. "Using a stolen photo for an online romance? He's definitely insecure and too ugly to show his real face!" The next day, my boyfriend texted: [Sorry, something came up at the last minute. Can you wait half an hour?] I breathed a sigh of relief because I had just been notified about an exclusive expert lecture on campus. Word was, the speaker was an academic powerhouse, and the university had paid a fortune to secure him. I snagged a seat in the front row. But the moment I looked up at the podium, my stomach dropped. Why did this famous scholar look so much like

"Marry me or you lose your job, and I will make sure you never ever find a job, on planet earth again." Shut the crap up. . .

Femi cannot think that I like his girl, the tense relationship we already had between our parents is putting so much on our family that we cannot afford to be quarreling too. “Wacko?” I tilted my head at my best friend who rolled her eyes at me. “Of everything I said, trust your brain to pick that one out.” “So that’s the reason why you are trying you hand at matchmaking?” I asked as Tomi shrugged. “It seems to be enough reason for me.” Tomi said as I sighed. “You suck at it.” I tell her as she throws her chips at me. “Food fight?” I asked her. “NO, you child.” She admonished with a giggle. “Since I suck at it, why don’t you give it a try?”

“Why were you watching a video of one of my matches?” He recognised the video immediately. At his school, matches were filmed to post on the school website for promotion and to show off sporting achievements. The match that was playing out on the screen had been one of his best, he had scored all of the goals. The part he didn’t like was where his top had lifted up when he jumped to score a goal. “I only get to see you once a week so I have to make do somehow,” Sebastian said with a noticeably red face. “You’re very attractive to watch when you’re in your element. I just didn’t know you would find out.”

Even his best friend and partner, Albert Gray, only got better at it after knowing each other for years. “Payback in kind.” “Do you want to play?”

I responded almost in a whisper, "Yeah?" "My mum wants to meet you. She is returning tomorrow. Is it ok if we meet her this Saturday?" I looked at him in spite of myself. His gray eyes looked at me expectantly. He wanted me to meet his mum? This feels like he is taking his would-be partner to meet his family. My heart started beating wildly. I could only utter, "Your mum?"

Beatrice asked Brandon as she walked beside him. "My friends want to meet with you. I acted my best with your friends, so you should do same" He replied. They got to a table and five boys were seating down there, with a lady. "Hey guys, meet my lovely wife Beatrice" He introduced Beatrice. "You look beautiful" "Nice meeting you" "What a beautiful wife you got there" Some complemented and Beatrice smiled at them. "Nice meeting you guys" Beatrice said to them. "Please sit and tell us about yourself" One of them named Andrew, said.

She held on to William’s arms which kept her warm. “So yeah, come on in. Everyone’s waiting for you. It’s a small town. They heard about you guys and they want to celebrate it. You know, they have this special tradition for the new couple.” Gerard reminded them of his initial invitation. Annaliese came to this town for participating in the Matchmaking Festival even though it was only for her project. Likewise, so did William at Saoirse's insistence. Their names were recorded in the registration book. Notwithstanding that they didn't always come to the events held at the Matchmaking Bar, they needed to be present to be announced as a successful participant in getting a partner on the last day

Marcus Stephen interrupted annoyingly. “It's only eleven o'clock… oh is it this late!” She saw the clock, hurriedly said goodbye, then took Marcus Stephen's arm and pulled her out. The touch too body of her accidentally fell into the eyes of the opposite person. Matthew James pursed his lips, looking at the design of the small shadow supporting the man next to him... A dizzy spell came, Marcus Stephen reluctantly entered the girl next to him. The whole high base of men secretly poured in, knocking her down.
