The door was pulled open and there was Bethany. "Pearl is here!" She announced to the people inside the house. "Is she alone?" I heard Kourtney call back.
"Yes" she then shot me a bright smile. "Hey, you look beautiful"
"I'm so flattered" I answered dryly. Eric appeared by her side immediately, his hands snaking round her waist, they were both in matching red.
"Pearl, you look good as always" he admired and I pushed out a tight smile. "Though you're alone. I guess , it's gonna be another double date with Pearl"
These assholes.
"Great, Davis lost the bet" Kourtney said, joining them at the door and my face squinched in confusion. "A bet?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I tried...Pearl, I really tried to believe you wouldn't wind up alone" Davis tried to explain, opening the door wider.
"Of course, she wouldn't wind up alone" Travis said, stepping out, his hands looping round my waist, pulling me to himself. I smiled, staring up at him. "I definitely didn't" I confirmed and we both turned back to them.
They were all frozen cold, their eyes wide open. Oh, we definitely got them, that serves them right! Such mouthy bitches!
"Travis..." Kourtney breathed out, getting out of her trance. "Nice to meet you all" He straight out his hand to them and Eric immediately took it.
"Glad to finally meet you in person, Mr Ferrari" he said. "I was at the wedding. Pearl, could vouch for that" he pointed.
"You must be..." He retrieved his hand from Eric's grip, before turning to Davis. "...Davis, nice to meet you"
Davis nodded, "nice to finally meet you too" he answered. I felt the tension between these two and I knew why there was tension. Travis was always unavailable and it didn't always sit well with Davis who is also protective of me.
"Alright..." Bethany broke the silence. "Why don't we all...come in"
"Oh, it didn't seem like you wanted to let me in" I spoke up. "Shut up" she hushed and we both headed inside.
Eric's apartment was really nice with an all white interior with bright furnitures and a huge window with an amazing view. As I was about admiring the place, the girls pulled me into the hallway beside.
"Shit!" I hissed. "Why didn't you tell us he was coming?" Kourtney fired. "We were almost spilling all our shits" Bethany added and I smiled, crossing my hands over my chest.
I see, they always pretend when he is around. Travis do have a hold on people.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, how did you get him to come?" They asked, so intrigued. I was loving this, I glanced into the living room, he was already hitting it off with the guys.
Tension don't really last between men.
"I don't know" I shrugged in response. And I was being honest, I don't know how we got here. "Babe!" Eric called out. "Let's get dinner started"
"Yes yes, you guys come help me" she urged, walking to the kitchen and Kourtney followed. "I don't know though, I'm kinda a visitor" I said, tiptoeing back to the living room.
"Will you get your ass In here?!" They ordered and I laughed before following them.
Dinner started good, the guys were at the table and the girls began serving while I got myself started on the champagne. I filled up a glass and was about taking a sip but Eric took it.
"Thank you, love" he beamed, walking into the dining. "Oh, there's is the champagne" Kourtney snatched it from me and followed too.
I wanted to retaliate but another glass appeared in front of me, I looked up and it was Travis holding it out to me, he took was taking a gulp out of his.
