Alicia Rivera fanned herself with a white Japanese fan, as she searched for her best friend. She was late, as always. Alicia rolled her chocolate colored eyes, this was Melanie Block's wedding, and her best friend had the rings. The lawn Alicia was sitting on was filled with New York's and some of America's best and richest.
"Where is she?" Skye Abeley asked, she was Alicia's best friend's sister who was currently six months pregnant and happily married for three years now.
"I have no idea." Alicia bit her bottom, full, red, lip.
"Auntie Melanie is freaking out up there." Skye shook her head and shoved a hand into her Coach Poppy bag, pulling out a Luna bar. Being pregnant really did mean that all you thought about was food, so much for fitting into size 2 jeans.
Alicia rubbed her head, her best friend was now twenty minutes late, how could the person who setup the couple, abandon them on their wedding day? Alicia would never know, she was more of the careless type and didn't have the focus to match make.
The sound of tires screeching were heard, and Alicia bent over to look past the pristine gates of the back lawn of the Ritz Carlton in New York, New York. She put a hand to her heart when she saw a gleaming yellow Porsche pull up, a girl throw her keys at a valet and then get out of the car.
Alicia smirked, her best friend was none other than, Massie Jillian Block, matchmaking extraordinaire.
Massie ran straight across the petal coated aisle of her aunt Melanie's wedding. She held her dress up as she ran, and immediately stopped, holding out the boxes in her hand. Her aunt and her soon-to-be uncle smiled at her thankfully, and Massie moved aside, leaning against a pillar surrounding the pavilion on which the couple was standing.
Ah, love, it was the thing that drove the world, and made it spin, well at least in Massie's opinion. She of course had been the one to introduce her aunt and her aunt's fiance. She had set them up purposely one day at the Westchester country club, the two had been dating since Massie was nineteen, and it was about time they got married. Her soon-to-be uncle was an ex-Colonel who was extremely serious, but that balanced her aunt's hyperactive personality, which was why they were perfect together.
When had Massie's matchmaking career taken off you ask? That's like asking Vera Wang when she started loving fashion. Massie's matchmaking career had budded from elementary school playground tag buddy setups, to interfering, fixing and creating high school relationships.
After the bride and groom kissed everyone moved towards the table for the reception, and Alicia walked over to Massie.
"Lovely isn't it." Massie smiled.
"It's brilliant." Alicia smiled back.
"I was of course, in charge of it all." Massie bragged and Alicia laughed.
"Aren't you always." The two girls linked arms and went to a circular table for the family and close friends of the bride and groom.
"Massie darling, would you like to start the toasts?" Melanie, no longer Block, but now Hurley, asked her dearest niece.
"Of course!" Massie stood up and clinked her sterling silver spoon to her clear, crystal glass.
She loved the sunny and bright atmosphere of the day, it would bring out her fabulous outfit and her beautiful features, especially the flicker in her amber eyes. When the attention of the audience had been captivated, Massie started, "When I first introduced these two I just knew that they would be a great match, and honestly now that their together I know that they're more than great, they're perfect." Massie beamed at her aunt and her aunt's new husband. The crowd cheered and Massie sat down, that was all that needed to be said.
Massie continued to observe the new couple when Josh Hotz, the oh so annoying odd ball of the Elite of Westchester offered to make a toast. When Josh got up he spilt nearly all his drink on a platinum blonde with cornflower blue eyes that looked sincere when she apologized, what was a girl like that doing here? Massie watched her as Josh tried to wipe the sparkling cider off of her cheap dress, he only ended up spilling more, which caused Alicia to snicker. Massie's eyes lit up, that girl and Josh would make the cutest couple...
"At least he's not wetting himself anymore." Alicia commented, Massie laughed, Josh was hers and Alicia's favorite walking joke.
"Who's that?" Massie bent over, and pointed at the blonde, Alicia always knew everything about everyone.
"That's Claire Lyons, her parents sent her over to New York to get over her longtime boyfriend, who's a total nerd." Alicia whispered.
Massie smiled devilishly, perfect, just perfect.
Josh finally stopped spilling on Claire, which was when the whole cup was empty, and stood up. "I-I-I would like to make a toast to Massie, Massie Block. This is all her idea and well she did this whole thing, she also introduced the couple." Josh rambled on and on and Massie felt her face burn up, Josh was such a doofus.
"Look who's got a crush on Mah-Seeee!" Alicia whisper teased.
"Massie I also wanted to tell you in front of everyone tha-" The rain that was forecasted the night before started to fall. "Massie! Massie!" Josh yelled as Massie started to run into the building like everyone else now was doing.
"Oh just give it up man." Chris Plovert, one of their friends, yelled, running behind everyone else, and Josh sighed while Massie smiled and looked up to the sky thanking god.
"I love my life." Massie said to herself, running into the hotel.
