Purple Romance

After taking the pictures, Maria received a surprise call from a closed friend she made back at California. She immediately excused herself and went out of the reception to meet the caller.

"Maria Portia Lee" a soft toned voice rang out ahead. Maria saw the owner of the voice and screamed excitedly running into the embrace of the lady.

"Paige Payin"

Maria and the lady hugged each other before they started chatting.

"You really came to see me Paige Payin. I'm so happy to see you?" Maria said.

"Same here. Is this where the wedding is taking place?" Paige Payin asked.

"Yes, Kobby is going to be happy to see you girl. Let's go"

Maria pulled the lady inside the wedding hall.

"Look at how time flies. You look so beautiful. Tell me, do you have a boyfriend?'' Maria asked trying to play the matchmaker.

" are you going to introduce a man to me?'' Paige Payin asked.

"If you're up for it. Let me tell you. A lot of my husband's business partners are here tonight. I could introduce a few of them to you" Maria said as she literally pulled Paige Payin along.

Paige Payin and Maria became friends when they met California. During the time she was in so much pain, Paige Payin was the one there for her so she loved Paige Payin a lot.

"Paige" Kobby called the lady as soon. as he saw her and they hugged each other.

"Kobby, congratulations. I'm happy for you" Paige Payin said.

"Meet my wife, Calia. Honey, meet our friend, Paige Payin. We met in California"

"Hi, Paige. Thanks for coming" Calia said and shook the lady's hand.

"Congratulations to you two. I am so glad for the both of you. Here, I brought you a gift" Paige Payin said and handed the small gift bag into Calia's hand.

"Paige, you didn't have to but thank you" Kobby said.

"I'm taking Paige away to meet Ad and the others" Maria said and took the lady's hand again and they went away.

"She is very beautiful" Calia said making Kobby to chuckle.

"She is but my wife is the most beautiful woman to me" Kobby said.

"I'm serious. I could turn gay for her" Calia said.

"Okay, that's enough Cal" Kobby said and laughed.

After introducing her to the family, Maria pulled Paige Payin to Ad-Din who was standing with two men chatting.

"Honey, my friend from California. Remember I told you I wasn't sure she could make it? She is here. Paige meet my husband, Ad-Din Denarius. This is Paige Payin"

"Hi, pleased to meet you" Ad-Din said and shook Paige's hand.

"My pleasure''

" Honey, these are my business partners from City B. Jordan Attoh and Lucas Bennett"

"hi"

"hi"

"hi"

They exchanged pleasantries and started chatting. Paige Payin received a call and excused herself. As she walked away the man named Jordan Attoh looked at her.

"Paige will be staying for a few days before she goes back to City B" Maria said to Ad-Din.

"Is she from City B?" the man named Jordan Attoh asked.

"Yes, she is doing her Masters at the University there. Right, you are from City B right?"

"Yes. Which University is she studying at?" Lucas Bennett asked.

"She mentioned some City View University the last time"

"That's our school" Jordan Attoh said.

"What a coincidence. This is good. I will do the introduction when she comes" Maria said enthusiastically.

"I hope you are not going to do any matchmaking, Portia?'" Ad-Din whispered the question into her ears and Maria smirked and Ad-Din face palmed. He didn't know what was wrong with Maria lately. It was like she was on a matchmaking spree.
