The Contract

Chapter 21- The Double Date

"Don't tell me that's all you are gonna pack" Bella said and I sighed and turned to her. "I love travelling light"

She rolled her eyes and got off the bed before coming to grabbed my suitcase, she dropped it on the bed and unzipped. "You didn't even pack bikinis" she said in disbelief.

"What do I need bikinis for?"

She lets out an exasperated sigh before walking back into my closet in search of bikinis. "As far as you're there to see his family, you both need to get your freak on in some way"

Oh my gosh.

She walked back with two set, a red and a black. "Besides, it's summer. Go swimming or something" she folded it in the suitcase.

"Do you have enough formal wears in here?" She inquired. "Yeah"

"Oh, I forgot another one of your obsessions. Silk" she said, walking back into the closet and I rolled my eyes this time and sat on the bed. "Silk are peak sophistication, plus you used to borrow my dresses a lot"

"True but what about this one?' she walked back out with a black dress in hand. "Hell naw!"

"What! I got you this on your 20th birthday! I can't believe you still have it"

"Yeah and it's been sitting in there for years" I replied and she ignored  me and put it in the bag. "Why haven't Travis called since yesterday?" She asked

"What?"

"I noticed he didn't call or text you"

"Oh" I chuckled uneasily. "He called earlier, we text all the time "

"Phew, I thought he was a workaholic like you, I mean that could be justified but two workaholics can't work in a marriage"

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked and she shot me a deadpanned look. "Obviously, your first love was your career. Is there anything else you'll need?"

"I don't think so"

"Great, Derrick just texted, he is around and I was just thinking maybe we could all have lunch together"

"Okay"

"Wonderful, i was thinking by 3. You better hit up Travis now" she said and I shot her a confused look. "What?"

"It's gonna be a double date, I've always wanted to do this. Call him!" She urged excitedly. "Okay" I shot her a tight smile as she walked out of the room.

I groaned and fell back on the bed. All I wanted for today was to stay in bed and think of ways to ditch my trip to Italy and surprise surprise, here was my sister planning double dates.

I got out my phone and called Kourtney, she answered at the second ring. "Everything is fine, Pearl. No one has died"

"Yet. Bethany gave my address to Bella!"

"Yes"

"You know about this?"

"Yes, she wanted to surprise you and I think that was sweet and you've been really down, you needed someone to keep you busy"

"She literally just invoked a double date"

"Awwn, have you called Travis?"

I let out a sigh. "I moved to LA to get away from this people"

"Well, family are forever, boss. Byeee" she drawled as she ended the call and I groaned and sat up before taping on that asshole's number.

Literally what I saved it as.

I stared at it as it rang and he answered at the third ring. "Yeah?"

"Hey fiance, I just wanted to make sure you haven't forgotten we are engaged"  I said and heard him sigh audibly. "I stepped out of a meeting to take this call, Pearl"
