Matched - Page 23

I pause for a moment, rethinking the whole business.

INDIA: Maybe I shouldn't meet him at the party on Saturday.

MARINA: Why? It's all arranged, hun.

INDIA: Jon will eat him alive.

MARINA: Jon will be too busy drooling over the swimsuit model beautician.

I think back to the night Jon dropped me off.

INDIA: Jon kissed me the other night. It was weird.

MARINA: DANGER WILL ROBINSON! Do NOT hook up with Jon. It will mean the end of your business relationship. I know what I'm talking about.

INDIA: I have no plans to hook up with him. He's not into relationships. He's a bonobo and likes to fuck every woman he meets. That's all. It's his natural mode of interaction.

MARINA: You two have got to find partners and stop thinking that getting together will solve your problems.

INDIA: We're not thinking of getting together. We're friends. Good friends. We're business partners.

MARINA: Honestly, you can't get together with Jon, even if it would be easy and logical.

INDIA: I know! Believe me, there's no intention on my part to hook up with Jon. It's the last thing I'm thinking about.

MARINA: Don't go there. Seriously. Big mistake. Huge mistake.

INDIA: Why do you think that?

MARINA: Because he'll break your heart. You know I'm right…

INDIA: Message received

MARINA: Good. You need to meet my match for you. Give him a shot.

I sigh, wishing I could say no, but I promised her I'd help her out. Besides, I want someone. I need a man.

Badly.

INDIA: Okay, but if things don't work out on this date, you have to give up and realize that either your app is wrong or there's something wrong with me.

MARINA: There's nothing wrong with you that a nice hard man won't fix. ;) Your date is ripped on top of being very urbane. He does say he knows how to please a woman on his profile.

INDIA: UGH. Really? That's a plus in your mind?

MARINA: At least he's confident.

INDIA: All right… But this is the last time. Seriously, Marina.

MARINA: I guarantee this will be the last time I match you with someone. K?

INDIA: K…

MARINA: Later.

I close my texts after reading them over once more, then put my cell away.

Evan Moran.
