It's Raining Firemen (My Mother the Matchmaker #4) - It's Raining Firemen
by Marc Lewis
Are you ready for a sizzling night you’ll never forget?!
Excuse me?
I hear you need a boyfriend and your favorite aunt is gonna deliver!
I have some burning hot guys just for you! 🔥🔥🔥
Uh oh.
Am I your next victim?
You’re my next masterpiece.
You’re going to freak out when you hear where I am!
Oh, I don’t doubt that…
I’m at the firehouse looking at hunky firemen! 💪💪🔥🔥
You’re going to try and set me up with a fireman?
No. I WILL set you up with a fireman!
A hot one with a big hose!
Oh my god 🤦‍♀️
That’s nice of you, Aunt Carol. But I’m really not looking for a guy.
These aren’t just guys. They’re FIREMEN!!!
I get that, but I’m just not interested. Sorry.
Oh honey, don’t give me that. EVERY woman is interested in firemen.
I’m training for a marathon and it’s taking up all of my free time.
What’s the point of having nice legs if you’re not going to show them off on a date?
Sarah said you might be persistent.
I’m getting you a boyfriend whether you like it or not.
She said you would say that, too.
I don’t hear Sarah complaining about the guy I found for her.
Dylan is a writer for JQ!
I think it’s GQ…
JQ, GQ, whatever. She has a boyfriend and it’s because of me.
And now it’s your turn!
Are you actually IN the firehouse?
Walking in now! Let’s see what we have…
Oooooh, Hello Mr. Chiseled and Sizzled scrubbing the firetruck!
Tara, you have GOT to see this guy!
Just please don’t embarrass me 😬
Why do all of you girls say that? I would never embarrass you!
You’re right, I’m sorry. You’re just trying to help.
Should I tell him your panties are on fire and you need a hot fireman to put them out?
😑
I’ll go ask!
No!
Aunt Carol, don’t!
Please!
A few minutes later
Shoot! He’s married.
That’s okay. Maybe it wasn’t meant to be and you can go home now…
Nice try, but I don’t give up that easily.
Are you sure you can’t make an exception just this one time?
🤣
Oooooh!!! Dial 911 because Scorchy Mc Torchy just walked in and he’s so hot he’s gonna burn the place down! 🔥🔥🔥
I’m not sure if I feel comfortable with this anymore.
Oh, stop being so dramatic.
I’ll ask him to bring an oxygen tank to your date because this guy will take your breath away!
Aunt Carol, I like to meet guys on my own.
And how’s that going for you?
It’s going just fine.
When was the last time you had a date?
January, I think.
Of what year?
Last year… 😒
I’m talking to him.
But I asked you not to!
You’re going to want this one to call you. Trust me.
A few minutes later
They’re all married! What the heck?!?
That’s too bad…
Wait! A truck just got back and they’re emptying out.
It’s raining firemen!
There’s probably too many of them to talk to…you’ll just have to leave!
No. I have a plan.
I’m afraid to ask 😬
I’ll bring the single men to ME!
About ten minutes later
You should be getting a text any minute now from a smoking hot fireman named James.
You’re welcome.
Wait, who’s James? What happened??
The plan worked. The firemen couldn’t resist.
Resist WHAT???
Don’t worry about it. Just remember to thank me on your wedding day.
A few minutes later, Tara gets a text from James.
You must be Tara. I just met your aunt.
Ugh, I’m sorry. In my case, nothing good ever comes after “I just met your aunt.”
Haha, she IS quite the character.
What did she do this time?
It involves a firehouse full of men and a fire pole.
😳
She did a sort of…dance…on the fire pole as we were getting out of the truck.
Of course she did.
Please tell me that my Aunt Carol is not naked in a firehouse right now.
Haha, don’t worry, she kept her clothes on.
At least there’s that.
She told us she had a number to text if we wanted to see the younger version.
Does that mean you want the younger version of Aunt Carol?
LOL, no, but one of the guys said I was single, so she grabbed me and wrote your number on my arm with a Sharpie.
She’s incredibly strong…
And can’t be stopped.
Believe me, I’ve tried.
She said it would be the biggest mistake of my life if I didn’t text you.
It appears she’s exaggerated once again.
Well, so far I don’t regret it 😌
Ha, there’s still time…
She told me you’re training for a marathon?
Yeah, I’m going up to Boston next month for the big one.
I’ll see you there.
Really? You like to run?
I LOVE to run. I’ve done the Boston marathon twice so far.
It’s my first time and I’m pretty nervous.
Come running with me tomorrow and I’ll tell you all about it.
I’d love to. What time do you run?
I’m off tomorrow so anytime you want. You bring the water, I’ll bring the energy bars.
How about seven in front of the firehouse?
Perfect. We just got another call, so I need to detach your aunt from the fire pole.
Okay, be safe!
From the fire or your aunt? 😉
LOL 🤦‍♀️
See you tomorrow morning?
See you then 😆
A few minutes later
They all just jumped in the truck and left!
What EXACTLY were you doing on the fire pole?
Oh, that’s a fire pole? I thought it was a stripper pole.
So I heard.
Does that mean James texted you???
He did. We’re going running tomorrow.
Yay!!! He’s sooooo HOT!
You should set yourself on fire to get him over there immediately.
I think I’ll just wait for the date.
Thanks, Aunt Carol. I guess it is sort of a fantasy to go out with a fireman…
Oh honey, don’t I know it.
Well, you got to strip in front of a bunch of them!
Don’t tell your uncle that!
That’s between us, Hottie McTotty James, and the entire Highland Firehouse Brigade.
Don’t worry, Aunt Carol. Your secret is safe with me 🤫
