Travis's bachelor party was in full swing, the night brimming with energy as the guys reveled in the celebration. The lights of the lounge flickered in sync with the pulsing music, and the drinks flowed freely. Travis, Jason, Patrick, Ross, and Aric were at the center of it all, enjoying every moment of their wild night out.
As the hours passed and the party hit its peak, Travis, with a mischievous grin, turned to his friends. "You know, I can't help but wonder what the girls are up to right now."
Jason, always the voice of reason, raised an eyebrow but couldn't hide his curiosity. "Probably nothing as fun as this," he said, though the glint in his eye betrayed his intrigue.
Patrick, already a few drinks deep and feeling adventurous, chimed in, "Let's find out! It'll be hilarious to catch them off guard."
Ross, who had been relatively quiet all night, nodded eagerly. "I'm in. Let's give them a little scare."
Aric, never one to back down from a prank, was already halfway out of his seat. "This is going to be epic."
With their minds made up, the guys quickly devised a plan. They left the lounge with stealth and laughter, piling into an SUV parked discreetly nearby. The drive to Taylor Swift's house was filled with banter and excitement, each of them imagining the look on the girls' faces when they burst in.
Once they arrived, they parked a little way down the street, opting to walk the rest of the way to avoid drawing attention. As they approached the house, the guys noticed the warm glow from the living room windows, shadows moving about inside.
"Alright, let's be quiet," Travis whispered, leading the way. "We'll sneak around to the back and give them the scare of their lives."
They circled the house, moving with the clumsy stealth that only a group of tipsy men could muster. They reached the back door, which, to their surprise, was unlocked. Travis slowly turned the handle, motioning for the others to stay quiet.
As they slipped inside, they could hear the sound of the girls talking and laughing, completely unaware of the impending surprise. Travis led the way, creeping down the hallway toward the living room, where Taylor, Abigail, and Kylie were deep in conversation, glasses of wine in hand.
The guys exchanged gleeful looks, then, with a sudden burst of energy, they charged into the room, shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Surprise!" Travis bellowed.
The girls screamed, jumping nearly out of their skins. Wine sloshed over the edges of their glasses, and for a moment, pure chaos reigned. Taylor, who had been sitting on the couch with a plate of chicken tenders, nearly dropped her food, her eyes wide in shock.
"Jesus Christ!" Abigail shrieked, clutching her chest as she tried to steady her breath. "What the hell is wrong with you guys?"
Kylie, after catching her breath, was less amused. "You scared the shit out of us! What are you even doing here?"
Travis, trying and failing to suppress his laughter, held up his hands in mock surrender. "We couldn't resist. We just wanted to see what you were up to."
Patrick, grinning ear to ear, added, "We thought you might be up to something...interesting."
Abigail, still recovering from the scare, narrowed her eyes. "And you thought scaring us half to death was a good idea? Typical."
But before they could continue their scolding, Ross, who had been standing at the back, suddenly realized what Abigail was holding. "Wait a minute... Is that a romcom?" he asked, pointing to the TV, where a cheesy romantic movie was playing.
The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the screen, then back to Abigail, who suddenly looked very uncomfortable.
"Abigail," Kylie started, a teasing smile creeping onto her face, "why do you look so guilty?"
Abigail hesitated, glancing over at Ross, who was now looking at her with curiosity. With a deep breath, she blurted out, "Okay, fine. Ross and I have been seeing each other."
The confession hung in the air for a moment before the room erupted in shocked gasps and laughter.
"Seriously?" Travis exclaimed, a broad grin spreading across his face. "You've been dating Ross and didn't tell us?"
Ross shrugged, looking a bit sheepish but also pleased. "Guess the cat's out of the bag."
Abigail, now more embarrassed than ever, pointed towards the door. "Alright, you've had your fun. Now get out!"
Kylie, regaining her composure, crossed her arms and nodded in agreement. "You heard her. This is a girls' night, and you guys are definitely not invited."
The guys, still laughing and teasing Ross, made their way toward the door, knowing they had pushed their luck enough for one night.
"Okay, okay, we're going," Jason said, holding up his hands in surrender. "But you have to admit, that was hilarious."
"Out!" Abigail repeated, though she couldn't help but smile as she ushered them out.
As the guys were herded out of the house, Travis caught a glimpse of Taylor, who had stayed out of the commotion, still calmly eating her chicken tenders at the table. She looked up at him, gave a small, amused smile, and shrugged, as if to say, "This is all your fault."
With one last wave, the guys filed out of the house, laughing and joking as they made their way back to the SUV. Once they were inside, the mood shifted from mischievous to celebratory.
"That was awesome," Patrick said, still chuckling. "I can't believe Ross and Abigail are a thing."
Ross, finally feeling more at ease now that the secret was out, grinned. "Yeah, well, now you all know. Let's just keep it low-key for now."
Aric clapped him on the back. "Your secret's safe with us. Now let's get back to the party and finish this night off right."
The drive back to the lounge was filled with laughter as they recounted the girls' reactions, particularly how Abigail had nearly jumped out of her seat. By the time they returned, the party had barely slowed down, and they were eager to dive back into the action.
With renewed energy, the guys returned to the party, where they were greeted like heroes who had just returned from a daring mission. The lounge was alive with music and dancing, and it wasn't long before they were back in the thick of it.
The night continued with more drinks, dancing, and wild fun. They hit the dance floor, their earlier adventure only adding to the night's excitement. Travis and Jason led the group in a series of increasingly ridiculous dance moves, each one more elaborate and hilarious than the last. Ross, now relieved of his secret, joined in with unrestrained enthusiasm, while Aric and Patrick kept the energy high with their antics.
As the night wore on, they found themselves back at the karaoke machine, belting out songs at the top of their lungs. Travis, emboldened by the events of the night, gave an especially enthusiastic performance of a classic party anthem, the crowd cheering him on as if he were performing at a sold-out stadium.
By the time the early hours of the morning rolled around, the lounge was starting to empty, but the guys were still going strong. Exhausted but exhilarated, they finally decided to call it a night, knowing they had made the most of every moment.
As they left the lounge and headed home, the laughter and memories of the night followed them. The bachelor party had been a wild success, filled with unexpected twists, plenty of laughs, and unforgettable moments. Travis, surrounded by his closest friends, knew he couldn't have asked for a better send-off before his wedding day.
