Perri's P.O.V
"Can I take your order?" The waiter asks, trying to get my attention. I'm not listening, in the middle of texting Elvie.
"Sorry..." I say, turning to face him as Ike gives me a look from across the table.
"I'll have what Sam's having..." I reply not even bothering to look at my menu.
The waiter nods and scribbles on his notepad.
Kim is sitting in between Natalie and Terry, and looks well uncomfortable.
"Thanks for the drive Tel..." She says.
"No problem." Tel replies.
"You should probably be at home resting..." Natalie says, putting a hand on Kim's shoulder. "And you shouldn't have ordered just the salad, you should eat more since-"
"I know, I know. Amber told me you said that to her a lot...." Kim says, frustrated. "Yes-I'm eating for two. I just feel sick, so leave it yeah?"
Natalie shrugs.
"It'll all be over soon Kim." Sam says. "Hang in there."
I'm still on my phone and soon all the boys' attention draws to me.
Jordan, who is sitting next to me, gives me a nudge.
"No need to be so antisocial Pel..." He says.
"What?" I say, not hearing.
Jordan yanks my phone right out of my hands before I can protest.
"What's up with you?" He laughs. "I'll give this back to you after dinner, alright?"
Warren and Ashley are engaged in some conversation.
"Where's Mitch?" Jordan asks me.
"He was knackered..." I say. "He went home."
"I'm not suprised. Juggling dancing with preparing for the baby seems like hard work."
"Oh trust me, it is..." I say.
"Where's Amber?" Jordan says, sipping his glass of water.
"Home." I reply. "You suddenly feel like you need to know where everyone is, Jord."
Jordan ignores me.
"With Mitch?" He asks.
I don't know why but my heart skips a beat.
"Yeah...I guess so..." I stammer. "Since that's where we're staying for now."
"Ha, them two alone. Sounds romantic..." Jordan jokes.
"What?" I snap.
"Just messin with you, man."
"You better be..." I mutter angrily.
Jordan chuckles.
"Chill..." He says, in an annoying american accent.
Suddenly the door of the restaurant swings open and in walk Gina and Reid.
There's a massive series of greetings and everyone picking Reid up, and saying how cute he is, even though I know they just feel sorry for him, even though I know they know I can't even take care of him properly.
Natalie picks Reid up onto her lap which annoys me.
"Thanks for the school run..." I say to Gina.
"No problem, Pel..." She says. "I would stay for dinner but my boyfriend is calling for me."
I raise an eyebrow. Didn't she breaky up with Max?
