"Welcome to Italy, bitches!"
They squealed as they got down the jet. They ran to me and we engaged tight embrace, we pulled away laughing uncontrollably. "Has someone been missing us?" Bethany asked.
I smiled. "Actually... Yeah"
"Well, you're in luck. We are here now!" Kourtney proclaimed and I laughed. "What are we waiting for? Let's go, I'm starving!" Bethany pulled me to the car.
In the ride.
"Travis wouldn't tell me what he did to get you guys here?" I said, glancing at them. "Yeah, it's our own little secret" Kourtney replied.
"That aside, how are the preparations going?" Bethany asked. "It's going fine"
"Aside the fact your Mother in law is now in charge of everything. At least we get to go to the bridal shopping"
"About that..."
"No!" They both disagreed even before I said it. "Bella and Natalia arrived on Wednesday and Raquel suggested to go shopping yesterday"
"Who the fuck is Raquel?" Bethany asked. "Travis's sister. She's a bitch" I put that out there.
"How could she-"
"Bethany calm down" Kourtney said. "It's okay, the colour could be the same but we could at least choose our designs. Right Pearl? "
"Of course"
She smiled and faced back forward. "Can we at least have lunch?" Bethany whined from the back seat and I laughed.
We arrived at the vacation house. " You never said y'all have a house here" Kourtney said as we got out. "I too forgot"
"Get my bag" Bethany said as she walked in. I stood there speechless. "And mine too" Kourtney added before running in with her. "I'm just doing this because you both just got here"
When I finally got into the living room, they had already made themselves at home with my family. Something I couldn't even do.
"I thought Pearl said you both will be arriving tomorrow" Aunt Regina said as she set the table for lunch. "Yes but then Travis sent a jet over to get us here today" Kourtney answered
"Oh Travis" she fawned. "Where do I keep the bags?" I asked. "Give them to Bruno. He'll handle that" A man walked to me and took the bags.
"Pearl, what are you doing here?" Aunt Martha asked, walking in. "Oh, I just came to drop the girls. This is Kourtney and Bethany" I introduced.
"Hi girls" she waved. "is she the one with the hot model twins?" Bethany asked. "Justin and Jake are not hot!" everyone shot me a look as I said that too audibly.
"Yeah, that's her"I answered the earlier question.
"Nice to meet you" they both replied. "You guys are finally here" Bella walked in. "Hey Bella!" Kourtney waved. She smiled and shot me a look before sitting down.
"Where's Aunt Lucy?"
"Who knows where she ran off to?" Aunt Regina rhetorically answered. My mother walked in, "Good afternoon, Mrs Vega" the girls greeted.
"So, nice for you both to finally join us" she said, taking her seat. The Uncles came in too. "Pearl"
"Hey uncle Barry. Will Davis be flying down here too?" I asked. "We hope so" he replied going to take a seat.
Most of my uncles winded up being bachelors, some got married and divorced and their kids flew a thousand miles away. It's a really sad story.
Davis became a doctor and... disappeared too. I used to have a really big family.
