"Babe, what do you think I should wear?The above-the-knee one or the longer one?"Meryl asked for they are now getting ready to go the party that Meryl wanted to go to.

"Wherever you're comfortable in, love."Pierce answered and Meryl pulled out an off the shoulder dress that's a little below-the-knee and it is also not too tight.

"Okay, I like this one."Meryl said as she remove her robe.

"Whatever you put on, you are beautiful."Pierce said and Meryl softly giggled.

"I'm gaining weight and you still think I'm beautiful?"Meryl asked and Pierce kissed her cheek.

"I don't care if you gain weight. You are gorgeous, my love and you gain weight because you are having our baby."Pierce answered and Meryl smiled.

"Babe, can you tie my hair for a while, I'll just put on some make-up."Meryl said and Pierce stood behind her right away.

"Too tight?"Pierce asked after he tied her hair.

"Nope, all good."Meryl answered and Pierce smiled.

"You are beautiful, my love."Pierce said as he stare at her through the mirror and Meryl looked up at him.

"You are beautiful. Give me a kiss."Meryl said and he gave a peck on her lips right away.

"Change your pants. I'll just put on my shoes and we'll go."Meryl said and Pierce nodded.

"Okay, baby."Pierce replied and Meryl smiled.

The couple headed straight to the party after Meryl prepared herself, and Pierce is just holding Meryl's hand for he doesn't really know the people there and he is still shy.

"Who is this gorgeous human being?"A voice suddenly asked as Meryl and Pierce sit at a table and Meryl looked up.

"Oh, hi, Clarisse."Meryl greeted with a smile.

"Why don't you introduce me with the man you're with?I'm really hoping to leave the party with a man tonight."Clarisse uttered as she lean a little to show her cleavage.

"What happened to the man you're with yesterday?"Meryl asked.

"Well, I'd rather have this man beside you."Clarisse answered.

"This is my partner, Pierce and Pierce, my love, this is Clarisse."Meryl introduced and Pierce just smiled.

"Partner?Why?Are you guys even living together?"Clarisse asked.

"Yes. We have two kids and another one on the way."Pierce answered and Meryl smirked.

"So please, find other men to take home. Not my man."Meryl said and Clarisse rolled her eyeballs before leaving.

"Who was that?Is she also from theater?"Pierce asked and Meryl nodded with a hum.

"She is a good actress but a bit unprofessional. She sleeps with almost everyone. She's also a snake, honestly."Meryl answered.

"Why?"Pierce asked.

"Well, like a year ago, I was dating this mam, we were going out and stuff and then one day, I saw him with her."Meryl answered and Pierce kissed her forehead.

"I love you, okay?"Pierce whispered and Meryl smiled.

"I know that and I love you, too."Meryl replied.

"Wanna get dinner now so that we can uhmm party and go home at our agreed time?"Pierce asked and Meryl nodded with a giggle.

Meryl and Pierce headed on and ate dinner because Meryl is eating for two, and after eating dinner, the couple just started talking to the other casts with Meryl introducing Pierce to them.
