Love Always Wins

Chapter 6: The Surprise

How did he get my number. Upon closer inspection I see that his number is programed into my phone. When did he do that. It didn't matter. I don't care.

I spent the next 5 minutes debating if I should message him back. I finally decided to text back.

"Thank you, you looked pretty damn good yourself😘" I replied. "Thanks for hanging out with me."

I got an instant response.

"You're welcome. Thank you and it's no problem I like hanging out with you." He said.

I was gonna leave the conversation there but he texted again

"I hate to do this over text message but seeing as they separated us for the ride home I have no choice. Would you like to go out on a date with me?" Tristan texted.

Half shocked half excited I almost forgot to answer him.

"I would love to. When did you want to go out?" I answer.

"How does tomorrow night sound?" He asked.

"Perfect." I responded.

Amber was on the phone with Chris when my text message came through to Tristan phone. She had Chris on speaker phone cause they were discussing dinner plans with Mel. Next thing we hear is "Fuck yeah, She said yes. I like her a lot." I could not help but smile. Just knowing that I bought him that much joy really warms my heart.

We pull up to the house and everyone gets out of the car. I grab my bag and head for the door. Sam, Emily, and Amber are saying bye. I don't know why we are gonna see them for dinner tonight. Apparently there is business that needs discussing but Zach wants to do it over dinner.

I reach the door and unlock it. I head into the house and up to my room to shower and relax until dinner. I had just gotten out of the shower when my phone dinged. Another text message.

"You think you're really cute don't you? Stealing another girls boyfriend. You should be ashamed of yourself."

That's all it said. I didn't recognize the number and it wasn't in my phone. I assumed I was a wrong number so I ignored it.

The rest of our furniture did arrive today. The boys came up and helped carry it into the house. Tristan got to see my room before I wanted him too. Hopefully he doesn't remember it.

Once all the boxes were in the house the boys stayed for a bit to cool off cause it is a hot one out today. I had grabbed a water out of the fridge and headed up to my room so I could plan how I wanted to decorate it. I thought that Tristan was downstairs but when I walked into my room he was sitting on my bed. He had my phone in his hand.

"When did you get this message?" He asked with a concerned look on his face.

"As I was getting out of the shower, after we got home." I answered. "I don't recognize the number so I just assumed it was a wrong number."

"I don't know how she found out your number but I will deal with this." Tristan said slightly angry.

"You know who it is?" I asked a little concerned.

"Yeah. That's my ex, Lani." He said. "I broke up with her two months ago. She can't quite grasp the concept that we are not together anymore. I thought I had this taken care of but I guess not."

"T, baby its ok. I am not afraid of her." I said trying to reassure him. "She can't do anything to us."

"OK. I gotta go. As momma Mel says if we want dinner we gotta be in the house while she is cooking it. I will see you soon." He said and kissed me on the cheek before walking out the door.

The rest of the day went by in a blur. Before I knew it we were ready for dinner and headed down to the dream house.

Expecting to see everyone we saw the night of the party, I was a little shocked that Dayne and Darius we're not there. I guess they were just visiting. The only people in the house were Zach, Mel, Heidi, Ian, Dom, Bryan, Chris, Tyler, and Tristan.

As we walked through the front door Zach handed us each a very thick folder  with our names on it. We were escorted into the dining room and seated.

"Ladies," Zach began, "In those folders are your contracts to join the DreamLA team. I have been planning on starting and all girls house that is equal to the boys."

"I told you guys that I have been working on a surprise for you since I came out here. This is it. All those contracts need is your signature." Amber said with a smile on her face.

"Are you serious?" Sam asked.

"100%." Chris answered for Amber.

"Can we still date with these contracts?" I asked looking at Tristan.

"Absolutely, that was actually one condition to this deal being made." Bryan said. "Mainly for Amber and Chris, but now also for You and Tristan."

"Where do I sign, and who has a pen?" Emily asked.

"The places you need to sign are tabbed and there I a pen in the folder" Tyler answered.

I carefully read the contract and signed it. Handed my folder back to Zach and sat back down. Amber had already had hers signed and she was sitting next to Chris. They really are so cute together. After Sam and Emily have turned in their contracts dinner gets served. It smells amazing.

The rest of the night went by in a blur. Next thing I knew Tristan and I were back out on the roof. Just sitting there. I love watching the city with him. I want so bad to grab his hand and hold it but I am to much of a chicken to do so. I don't want to move to fast and scare him off. Just when I decided to do it he takes my hand in his. I can't help but smile. My hand fits perfectly with his.

"Why you sitting so far away?" He asked "Come closer, let's cuddle."

When he said that he pulled me almost on top of him. I didn't know what to say. I just let him do it. I guess I fell asleep next to him again. I woke up to him carrying me downstairs but we weren't headed for the living room. He was taking me to his room. I pretended to still be asleep.

"I know you're awake, open those pretty eyes and look at me." Tristan said with a very recognizable force behind them.

"Yes, Sir" I responded opening my eyes and looking up at him

"We are going to my room so we can cuddle. I was getting uncomfortable on that couch." He said.

I honestly loved the thrill this gave me. I have not felt a thrill like this in a very long time. I welcome it.

We get to his room. He sets me upright and walks in the room. When he sees that I have not followed him, he turns around and just give me a look and I know if I don't follow I am going to be in trouble.
