Mister Smith ✔

3

Lily was like a godsend to me. She and I were complete opposites that happened to be a match. She liked pink, I liked black. She preferred the wild unknown, and I liked the familiarity. Lily lived wild and exotic and I was the neutral one. She once said that I was her anchor to the world. "When I roam high in the skies, it's your need for earth that brings me down, because no matter how far I may go, I still need you in my life," she told me. So the day she gave me her date, Mr Smith, I was overjoyed but still felt guilty. I felt as if I took her chance of happiness. Despite her telling me a thousand times that she doesn't want to be grounded to one man, she found the one guy for her.

Daniel Smith.

Yes, Taylor's older twin brother. She found him a complete delight when she met him at the end of the year. He came home after completing a tour of Europe for his gap year and that's when they met. Taylor threw a party to welcome him home. We went and that day Lily had another one of her fail blind dates. She was still pouting when we reached and as much as I tried I couldn't get her to smile. Even when she saw Taylor and I kissing. At long last the guest of honour arrived. Daniel was the opposite to Taylor. He was quiet, observative one. He watched everyone and smiled often. When Taylor introduced them, Daniel kissed her immediately. She kept quiet and kissed him back. Passionately.

I smiled to myself and touched my lips to Taylor's. I couldn't be any happier for her.

My best friend met her match in my boyfriend's older brother.

All of this because of the one thing I disliked: blind dates.

Who knew?
