‘Yes.’
‘I’m Barb, and I’m gonna make you beautiful,’ came a farcically high-pitched voice from the back seat followed by giggles from the other men in the car.
‘They’ve been inhaling nitrous oxide ever since I picked them up,’ James said, his jaw tight.
‘I need a touch-up, Barb,’ came another squeaky voice. ‘Touch me up and make me feel gooood.’
The Spice Cadets now sounded like a pack of hyenas at a comedy club.
Estelle bit the inside of her mouth to stop her smile. ‘Why did you trade the Ferrari in?’
James’s eyes flicked to Carly, then back to her, his gaze intent as if trying to communicate a message without words.
Holy shit. Is that how he paid the staff wages?
‘Carly,’ James said. ‘Would you be able to take it from here?’
‘Sure, I’m going to clear a path and lead you to the stage.’
‘No, I need you to drive.’
‘But I’m not insured.’
‘You’ll be doing less than four miles per hour on a private road,’ he replied tersely.
‘Why can’t you drive?’ Estelle asked him.
‘Drive me hard, Barb!’ one of the men squealed. ‘I’ve been a bad boy!’
James briefly closed his eyes, then gave Estelle a hard stare.
The snort was too big to hold back, but Estelle still clapped a hand to her mouth.
‘Please?’ he asked.
She passed her hand over her face to try and remove the grin. ‘I’m glad to see you’ve been getting in touch with your feminine side. This new look suits you.’
He raised an eyebrow.
‘You should enjoy the moment,’ she continued. ‘What do you think, Carly?’
Carly had turned away, but her shoulders were shaking with laughter.
James sighed. ‘Alright, let’s get this over with.’
‘Be gentle, Barb! It’s my first time!’ squeaked a voice from the back seat.
Estelle stepped away from the car, put her fingers in her mouth, and whistled loudly. ‘Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, can I have your full attention please?’ she shouted. ‘We have a moving motor vehicle in transit. For your safety, please stand well clear!’
‘Fuck’s sake,’ James growled behind her.
‘This car contains one of the acts who will shortly be performing on the main stage,’ she continued. ‘Get a good look, ladies and gents and feel free to take as many pictures as you like!’
Stepping in front of the car, she walked backwards, gesturing for James to follow.
He revved the engine.
She winked at him. ‘Car with celebrities coming through! Stand back but shout out if you recognise who they are!’
