A Match Making Mess
Disclaimer: I Don't Own the Vampire Diaries I can't even tell you what I'd do if I did because that would just be too long.
A/N: This is an all human fic based off of two movies Emma/Clueless and 27 Dresses. You can blame my sister SmileyOriginals we did these bets and they turned into fanfic challenges. I wanted her to do something more canon and she wanted be to do an AU all human. So this is entirely her fault. And if you haven't already checked out her fic Dark Paradise you really should because it is amazing. Alright enough stalling here it is. This will be Kennett, Stebekah, Belijah, Eelijah, Forwood, mentions of Jana and Beremy. Possible more pairing later you know in case that wasn't enough for you.
Bonnie Bennett had a busy night. She had two weddings to go to and help with. One was her bosses brother's wedding and the other her best friend's brother's wedding. So she had to go to both of them. And sure she had helped a little with both. The company she worked for had all of the connections so she had helped with both venues and since they both had to be at the same night it worked out well. She also helped set them both up with caterers and the designers so both nights would be special. It was expected of her being the head assistant on one of the biggest corporations out there. She had to plan so many events for them this really was second nature. It was what she did after all. This was really no different.
So here she was talking to Elena telling her that her brother's wedding would go done without a hitch. Elena nodded and smiled and said, "Thanks Bon, for everything."
"It's what I'm here for." Bonnie said.
"I know. OK. I better go see how Jeremy is doing." Elena said.
"Go. I actually got to go too." Bonnie said eager for the opening to leave.
Elena's brows furrowed and she looked a little sad and said, "You're going to be there for the ceremony aren't you?"
"Of course." Bonnie said.
Bonnie looked at the time on her cell and calculated how long it would take her to get from this chapel to the downtown Cathedral.
Then Caroline came running out adjusting her blue silk dress and then she smoothed out her ruffled hair. She had just gotten out of the coat closet followed by her-long time who the heck knew when they ever would get married but didn't matter anyway- boyfriend Tyler.
Oh Caroline. She was never good at being subtle. Bonnie would have probably lectured her on her obvious display but she really didn't have the time.
"Oh thank goodness you're bolting!" Caroline said not really trying hard to use her inside voice.
"What no. I will be back." Bonnie assured her.
"Oh please tell me you're not actually trying to go to both weddings." Caroline said looking overdramatically horrified.
"Well, yeah." Bonnie said.
"That is insane! Your insane! Not to mention masochistic." Caroline stated still appalled.
Bonnie huffed not really having time for this, she knew her friend meant well.
"It's not like that Caroline. I'm being here for Elena and her whole family their like my family." Caroline put her finger towards her mouth in a gagging gesture like she was going to get sick from just the thought.
"Oh come on, you're here and I bet if you had anything to do with the company I work for you would go to both." Bonnie said.
"Katherine works there and she isn't going to both." Caroline said.
"Her brother is getting married. This takes priority. Besides I have a bigger position there and I would be more expected to be there." Bonnie insisted.
"Yeah you should go and then you should have hot wedding sex with your boss. And not come back here, like ever you know unless that hot wedding sex results in a shotgun wedding in that case I call maid of honor."
Bonnie rolled her eyes and said, "Please, it really isn't that big of a deal I can handle two little weddings."
"He's your ex Bonnie." Caroline said.
"It was in the past Caroline." Bonnie said trying to brush that small fact off.
"Uh, it's still sick and it's even worse that you had helped so much, it's disturbing I mean it would be one thing if it was part of your master plan to break them up or something but no your seriously going to help your ex-boyfriend get married it's so messed up." Caroline continued with her rant.
Bonnie pushed passed her and said, "I don't have time for your judging Caroline."
"Who me? I'm not judgmental. I am just trying to make you happy!" Caroline shouted at Bonnie as she ran out of the chapel.
She loved her and all but sometimes she got in her way. She needed to be there for everyone, it was just who she was and she was sure Caroline would eventually understand that.
Bonnie then arrived to the big Mikaelson's wedding. Everything looked magnificent but she needed to double check and make sure everything was perfect. Then she had to check on Elijah her boss. He was leaving the bathroom trying to fix his tie. She knew he was having a hard time with his little brother getting married and then with all of the crazy business deals going on along being in the public eye. It was already hard enough having to deal with his mother and trying to keep what really happened to her out of the public eye. He had so much stress to deal with. He was messing with his bowtie, frustratingly trying to tie it. She came up to stop him.
"Elijah, please let me help."
She took his tie and tied it for him.
He smiled at her and said, "How do you do that?"
"It's not that hard." Bonnie laughed.
"No, I mean, you're always there just when I need you." Elijah said with that warm smile that made her melt just a little.
"It's what I am here for." Bonnie said smiling.
"I'm glad." He said smiling warmly.
Then she said, "Well, you better go, your brother needs you."
"Thanks again Bonnie." Elijah said as he rushed into the massive hall were the wedding was at.
Bonnie then took a seat in the back while Elijah took his place as best man in by the elegant Alter in the front. She sighed as she watched him talk to his brother who looked absolutely wistful. It must be nice to be so in love, where it could make everything disappear. She doubted she would ever feel that way.
Oh well. She checked her watch. If she left now she would make it for the ceremony. She looked around at the majestic Cathedral Hall with the candle lit room. It would look beautiful. She could just sit here and enjoy the ceremony. Sage was her friend after all. But they weren't anyway near as close to her and Elena. Elena would want her to be at the ceremony, she saw the puppy dog look on her face. How could she just disappoint her like that? Caroline's voice was in her head, "Because it's sick. Because he's your ex boyfriend. Because he kissed you and said he loved you and then he broke your heart. Because he told Elena Anna was always the one for him." She shook the disturbing thoughts away. It happened years ago. He was her high school boyfriend. It was ridiculous to get all mushy and sad over a high school boyfriend. And they became friends after that. She was still there for him and Elena like she always was. Elena was really adamant that she make the ceremony, she had to be there for Elena.
She got up to leave as she opened the door she bumped into someone.
"My apologies darling."
Bonnie looked up to see a devilishly handsome guy with messy golden brown hair.
He had a smirk on his face and their eyes locked. Then she immediately backed away snapping herself out of the mini hot guy trance. And then she rolled her eyes as he scanned her body like she was a piece of meat.
"It's okay, I was just leaving."
"Really? The wedding will start soon." He said.
"I have to go." Bonnie insisted.
"I'd hate to see you leave but I will enjoy the view none less." He said with that smirk still plastered on his face.
"Wow does that line really work for you?" Bonnie said disgusted as she stomped out of there.
"Why don't you stick around and find out?" Kol asked.
Bonnie looked at him and back at the wedding and considered for a moment to stay. But she brushed the thought off. She would never hear the end of it from Elena.
"I'm busy." Bonnie said.
"Why darling? Why are you here if you're just going to leave before the wedding starts?"
"It's none of your business. I don't even know you." Bonnie said.
"Well that can always be remedied, darling." He said still with that devilish smirk.
Bonnie shook her head disgusted. Who did this guy think he was anyway?
"Whatever, I am out of here." Bonnie said she brushed past him and got out of there. She didn't have time for this.
Rebekah sat at her table happy to be watching the Bride and Groom dance incandescently happy. Rebekah smiled triumphantly while sipping her Champaign.
Stefan shook his head.
"Do you have to look at them like it is part of your accomplishment?" Stefan asked.
"Well they practically are. I introduced them. Sage is my friend and Finn is my brother. Why shouldn't I be happy that I made them so happy?" Rebekah asked.
"I think they manage to make each other happy just fine."
Rebekah still smiled smugly, "You're just jealous that you didn't think of it first."
"Oh yes that is me I have this overwhelming need to interfere in other people's lives. Oh wait that's you." Stefan deadpanned.
"Well, it worked didn't it?" Rebekah asked still triumphant.
"This time." Stefan said weary.
"Is that a challenge?" Rebekah asked him excitedly.
"Oh no, it is not a challenge for all that is holy. Rebekah don't take it as a challenge." Stefan pleaded with her.
"Since when have I ever listened to you Stefan?" Rebekah asked with that glow in her eye, which frustrated him to his core.
"You really should start, I am very wise." Stefan said.
"Pffft. Yeah right. Now let me see who shall be the two lucky people who I shall bring happiness to?" Rebekah said while searching the crowd. A wedding was a perfect place to spot who the lonely people were.
"You mean your next victims?" Stefan asked.
Rebekah ignored Stefan and continued to scan the crowd.
Rebekah watched Bonnie Bennett run into the hall stopping herself from almost tripping and smoothing out her dress. It looked like she was trying to blend in acting like she had just not arrived.
Rebekah pursed her lips giddily. Stefan looked at her and followed her gaze to Bonnie. He shook his head in disapproval.
Then Rebekah said, "She's perfect. I don't why I didn't think of trying to set her up sooner."
"Leave Bonnie alone, please."
"Pfft. Now why would I do that?" Rebekah asked like the suggestion was ridiculous.
"Because I work with her and she practically keeps this company together by being your brother's assistant. Your brother could not do his part in running this company if it wasn't for her efficiency."
Rebekah looked at him suspiciously and said, "Oooo Stefan do you have a crush? Do you want me to set you up?"
"Please never do that and no I do not have a crush on her but no one can deny that she goes above and beyond for your brother and he would be lost without her." Stefan said.
"My brother?" She asked as she scanned the hall to see him sitting on the table drinking his Champaign just watching the crowd looking a bit melancholy while Klaus was talking to him. Rebekah knew Elijah was not listening to their older brother. He did look like he could use some female companionship. His eyes lit up when he spotted Bonnie walk towards him.
"Oh no, no, no, no. That was not me giving you a suggestion." Stefan said his voice in full panic mode.
"Yes, look at him. How his eyes lit up when he saw her." Rebekah said sweetly.
"He was most likely happy to have distraction from Klaus yammering on and on about business."
"My brother does not yammer. No one in my family yammers." Rebekah defended.
"Sure. Sure." Stefan said.
Rebekah continued to watch Bonnie as she put a stray strand of her hair behind her ear while she talked to Elijah she played with the loose curl with the tip of her finger still giving Elijah her undivided attention.
"Oh, yes, this is coming together quite nicely." Rebekah said like the horse she just bet on was winning the race.
Then Bonnie kept on looking at her watch and after a while she left Elijah and Klaus in a hurry.
"See that? She had an opening, he had an opening, but they both refused to take it and you know why?" Rebekah said.
"They don't like each other that way. They don't want to ruin the office dynamics with needless complications?" Stefan insisted.
"No. They need my help. And I am so graceful enough to help them." Rebekah said with glee.
"They are really lucky to have a friend like you." Stefan said sarcastically.
"I know. Aren't they?" Rebekah said with smile plastered on her face.
Stefan rolled his eyes.
"Look if you must set Bonnie up with someone can you please do it with anyone else? He is her boss, it would be inappropriate and could make things difficult for the company. The nice business flow that Bonnie and Elijah have is working really well for our company. The stocks are high, our competitors are kept at bay and things are going well. Do not ruin it, because you're bored."
"Oh, please Stefan stop being so dramatic the world will not end because Bonnie and Elijah get together. The company will do just fine and it might actually do even better."
Stefan lowered his head down in defeat this wasn't going to end well, not at all.
