Matt Casey x female!reader

Soulmates are persons who are destined to spend the rest of their lives together. One can identify their soulmates through a matching tattoo on their partner's skin, found in the same spot as the other partner. But there are other ways for one to tell if someone was their soulmate. Like the undeniable attraction and connection between two people, a bond that forms the more both persons spend time with each other. Or the way when both feels some sort of electricity flowing between them while in short distances of each other after having bonded. Or having that instinct feeling of something going wrong when one of the partnered soulmates are in danger or feeling the other's pain when one is injured. The name initials will only change into that of one's full name when the soulmate couple acknowledges that they are soulmates.

Out of the five ways to tell if you were his soulmate, Matt Casey has already experienced three. One, the undeniable attraction or connection between you and him. Two, the electricity that flows between the two of you when the other is near or when you two are touching. Three, when you had gotten shot, he felt a slight pain in his shoulder until you were recovered. Casey's tattoo was located on his right rib area, your name initials in cursive writing. If you were truly his soulmate, you would have your tattoo in the same place, his name initials also in cursive writing. In which you totally did. You had spent your whole life wondering who this M.C. was. Somewhere in your heart, you wished it was Matthew Casey who you have grown to have feelings for.

The Cook-out event has passed and you and Casey were able to bond more. Your friendship and feelings for one another growing after each moment spent together. Your friends, crew of House 51 and their families, have witnessed the growing bond between you and Casey and knew that it was only a matter of time before you both realized were in fact soulmates. You vaguely remember the other tell signs of a soulmate, like the electricity flow or something like that but whenever you try to remember anything about soulmates from your past, you tend to have anxiety attacks or sometimes, you faint so as much as possible, you stay away from anything related to soulmates.

It was now a few days before the CFD Gala that Matt had invited you to. You had asked Sylvie Brett, Emily Foster, and Stella Kidd for a favor: to help you look for a dress for the gala. They had agreed and you were currently in one of the formal dress shops at the mall. The girls had informed you that the dress code theme was black and white so you were currently searching for a black dress because you didn't like white very much. The girls knew your size already considering the numerous times you all had gone shopping before. After about two hours of looking for a dress, you were torn between two beautiful black long evening dresses. One was a sparkly sequined spaghetti strapped backless mermaid dress with a V-neck front. The other was a simple black off-shoulder short sleeve mermaid dress with a side slit.
The girls' votes were also divided between the two dresses so you really needed to make the decision.
"Ugh. Why is this so difficult??!" You asked them as you looked at both dresses in frustration. Sylvie and Stella both laughed while Emily pitied you.
"Y/N, why don't you try them both one more time then after that you decide." Emily said, which you did.
After trying both on, you decided to settle on the simple black off-shoulder short sleeve mermaid evening dress with a side slit. You thought about how its better to go for something simple yet elegant at the same time instead of go sparkly right away. This was your first time to go to a formal event with Matt and you really wanted to make a good impression.

On the day of the gala, you spent the day cooking food and decorating cakes in your shop. In the afternoon, the boys and Jessica shooed you out and told you to prepare for the gala. So, you went home and took a shower and shaved your legs and underarms. You went with a half up French-braid crown hairstyle and the curled the bottom part of you hair. Then for makeup, you went for a glam-up makeup look with light gold shimmer on the eyes and nude lips. You paired your dress with black heels, a black and gold clutch, and a matching set of three pearl dangling gold earrings and one strand necklace. You had just put on your dress and shoes when you heard your doorbell ring. You put on some perfume and grabbed your things before you went to the door.
