In the Club With Him

Chapter 4

Bre's P.O.V.

We got to the Gala and there were reporters everywhere and there was so much excitement in the air. I exited out of the car with Steven, behind Jillian and Travis. Travis was being hammered by reporters with different questions.

"Mr. Sawyer, who's the pretty lady on your arm?"

"Mr. Sawyer, is she the next fling for you?"

"Mr. Sawyer, why haven't you been with Sara? What happened to your relationship?"

I could tell it bothered Jillian as I watched the way she slowed down as Travis practically pulled her inside saying, "No Comment."

Steven and I just exchanged glances and entered the huge entrance. Waiters were walking around with trays of champagne and Steven grabbed one for each of us.

"Thank you." I said as I just took in all the sights.

It was amazing to see all these fancy people all dressed up and walking about. I had never been to anything this fancy before, so I was somewhat starstruck. I felt Steven's arm snake around my waist as we walked towards the table where Jillian and Travis were about to sit down at. Then I saw Travis and Jillian starting to talk to an older couple.

"Who is that?" Steven glanced their direction and said.

"Those are Travis's parents, his mother is a very sweet. His father is a bit different." as we approached them and then I saw Jillian run off down the hallway.

Steven and I walked up to Travis and his mother and I asked, " Where's Jillian?" Travis explained what his father said, and I just gasped.

"No wonder she is upset, I will go comfort her." I said as I walked off and went towards the restroom, where Jillian ran off to. I couldn't believe that man who barely knew Jillian would call her such a name. It infuriated me to no end and I would protect my best friend no matter how rich these people were.

I walked in and saw Jillian trying to clean her face up, I went and gave her a hug. "Girl, you got this. Don't let what he said to make you upset. You are worth more than anything and I can see how Travis loves you." I smiled at her, and Jillian smiled back. I helped her fix her make-up and we walked back out towards the party.

I went back and sat down with Steven as I watched Jillian try to regain her composure. She always tried to be so strong but her background wouldn't always allow her to be. Her and I were best friends because she never had the support she needed from home. I felt so bad for her but felt that maybe with the night going on, things would get a little better from here.

Steven's P.O.V.

I knew what Travis had planned, he had me help him go get the ring a few weeks ago. I know he just met Jillian, but he said it was love at first sight and I just laughed it off. I wasn't that type of guy, don't get me wrong Bre was amazing so far but I know how it all works. They sweet talk you and then when they think your hooked, they change it up. I've seen it happen too many times to friends of mine. One minute they are sweet as angels, and the next minute they turn out to be something else. I don't think that will ever be me.

I watched as Travis was talking to Sara, his ex and I could see the jealously written all over her face. I laughed to myself as I knew what was going to happen next and that crazy girl was going to be pissed.

They had dated right after high school, but she wasn't faithful so I didn't feel sorry for her in the least bit. After all, I was the one who caught her with a guy in the first club that I co-managed with, practically having s*x up against the bathroom wall. I chuckled to myself as I thought about how pissed she was after I told Travis, after she begged me to not say anything.

"What's so funny?" Bre asked me as she sat down next to me at our table, I brought my arm around her chair and pulled her closer. " I was just thinking about some old times that Travis and I shared, that's all." I answered as I took a closer look at her. She was beautiful, but in a natural way.

She was dolled up due to this gala, but I honestly could not take my eyes off of her.

"Oh okay. Is everything okay?" she asked me.

"Of course, I'm here with you aren't I?" as I gently kissed her sweet lips. She giggled and kissed me back, I couldn't wait to get out of here with her.

We watched as Travis stepped out onto the stage and started to introduce the flight crew for his HQA( High Quality Aircraft), his newest venture as AMA's new CEO. He had worked endlessly to get it off the ground, and I was really happy for my best friend. As he introduced the pilots and flight attendants, he saved the best for last.

I looked over at Bre as she was watching and gently grabbed her hand in mine. Her small hand fit perfectly in mine and she just winked at me as she continued to watch the stage.

"Last but certainly not least, is the lead flight attendant who will be leading this fine group of ladies. May I introduce Jillian Andrews!" Travis announced as Bre immediately got up and I along with her clapping.

I watched as Travis got down on one knee while she wasn't looking and proposed to her in front of everyone. She took a minute to respond but eventually said yes.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for her!" Bre exclaimed as she grabbed my hand and I just loved the energy she emitted, but I wasn't going to rush anything with her.

"Yea, I helped him pick out the ring." I told her as she looked at me.

"You did? Well that was so nice of you to help him." she replied as she gently kissed my lips. I just smiled back at her, she was something else.
