Hello everyone reading this! I would like to thank all the people out there who take time out of their day to leave reviews, honestly it means a lot to me whenever I read a new review.
Right now though with the story I feel like I kinda ran face first into a problem with the whole home insurance thing (I have
no idea what Matthew actually has to do with his job). So until I make a plan or just leave it in the dust, nothing on that will be done, save for the whole convenient write off of 'Today was a busy day' thing.
But seriously, after looking at the amount of views I would like to thank you all again.
Enjoy the chapter!
It's been like half an hour...what do I do...?
Sitting alone and waiting for Pearl, Steven, or anyone for that matter to return, because with the situation I'm in things would definitely be easier if I weren't alone.
"..." Staying sat in place all I could do was wait for someone to talk to, because I felt like if I had wandered about I would be stepping over my limits, then I would instantly be back to where I was last night, save for the fact that I'm conscious this time.
After briefly looking down at my watch I had seen that it had indeed been half an hour (32 minutes to be exact) since my arrival, and with how things seemed to be going nowhere I began to stand up from the couch, but not before I had footsteps coming from outside.
They were steady yet heavy, with each step getting louder as they grew nearer. After a little while came a rather hefty looking man, I know I never met him yesterday as I made sure to remember every one of my clients, but this hadn't stopped him or I from staring at each other awkwardly. From what I saw he was dressed rather casually, he wore a plain white tank top, grey shorts that had looked like they were at the knees, and a pair of sandals.
Aside from his attire he was obviously balding yet kept long locks of hair grown out, he also had a very apparent tan.
"Err, hello...am I missing out on something or what?" He asked aloud standing in the doorframe wondering why I was here, not knowing entirely what to say I began to stumble for words to say and couldn't get anything to leave my mouth. I was beginning to slowly piece together a coherent sentence until I had heard the sound of a familiar voice.
"Dad, we need to be quick! We still need to find-" Zooming past the man came Steven, looking at me, obviously surprised to find me back in his home, with me more so after seeing that he held my jacket in hand.
"Matthew?" Was all he could say, seemingly finishing his previous sentence. This had also left the older man surprised but also genuinely cheerful as he looked at me with a grin.
"So this is the guy you've been looking for." He said cheerfully as he began to ruffle up Stevens curled hair, which in turned pushed it down to slightly cover his face.
"We've been looking everywhere for you Matthew, we checked Funland, the arcade, Fish Stew Pizza, and everywhere else in the city." Steven said nearly shouting out as he did, he seemed to be bursting with energy as he was excitedly pointed out the several places he had been.
"Really? I didn't think you'd go out of your way just for my jacket." I said feeling a little guilt build up knowing that he tried to look for me for the day.
"Of course I would, after everything that happened last night I felt kinda bad that you left your jacket, so I thought that I would go and find you and return it." Steven beamed with a cheerful smile letting me know that he did indeed felt the need to return my jacket in person, even going as far to travel all through the city just to find me, this had left me feeling a small grin forming on my face.
"Thanks Steven, I really mean it." As I thanked Steven he made his way to where I stood and handed me my missing suit piece. Looking down at the blue fabric I felt a ping of happiness build up and my small grin form to a full fledged smile.
"Well then, now that's all done with it time for something really important." Said the middle aged man standing on the doorway, looking at him I began to wonder what he must be talking about until he had answered that thought for me.
"I think it's about time we finally were properly introduced to each other don't you think?" He said jokingly with me feeling somewhat bewildered that we haven't had a proper greeting this whole time.
"Oh yes, I'm so sorry!" I say quickly holding my hands up feeling the need to gather my thoughts.
"Matthew Corals." I reach out with my hand open, ready to continue on with this days.
But with a smile.
