I frown. “It’s a hard one. What would Abbie do?” I bite my lip as I think.

“She would go for Carmichael.”

I nod again.

“He is exceptionally hot,” she murmurs.

“Meh.” I shrug. “Doesn’t do it for me,. I prefer Ben.”

“Ben’s a prick!” she snaps.

“Mmm, there is that unfortunate fact.” I nod.

I see Heidi Mills around the other side of the pool. “Oh look, it’s the American stick insect,” I mutter flatly.

Bridget clinks our glasses. “Bridget Jones.” She smirks.

I nod and smile at the stupid movie-lines game we play.

“Oh shit, she’s coming over to us. God, buzz off. Don’t tell her anything,” I whisper, annoyed.

“Are you both having fun?” she asks.

I nod and fake a smile. What do you want bitch?

“Do you live around here?” Bridget asks.

Heidi chuckles. “Oh I love your accent. You’re Australian too. I couldn’t hear it over the music inside.”

“I’m Natasha’s sister,” Bridget replies.

Her face drops. “Oh,” she replies. Abbie comes out and walks around to us and I don’t think I have ever been so happy to see her in my life.

“Hi,” Abbie announces. “Who are you?” She smiles, being her best passive-aggressive self.

Heidi seemingly sums up Abbie. “I’m Heidi.” She fakes a smile as Abbie throws me and Bridge a look.

Joshua returns with three drinks. “Fuck off, Mills,” he growls.

My mouth drops open in shock. “Joshua,” I gasp. “Don’t be so rude!”

Abbie’s hand immediately goes to her hip as she narrows her eyes at the girl.

“She’s not somebody you should be associating with, Natasha,” Joshua sneers

“You don’t know that, we could become friends,” I gasp. This rude behaviour is unacceptable. I don’t want to be friends but if I did he has no say in it.

“Well, seeing she just hit me up for a lunchtime meeting tomorrow in a hotel for sex with no strings, I’m thinking not.” He narrows his eyes at her in contempt.

My heart drops and my horrified eyes meet hers, what?

“Stan,” she gasps. “Stop talking!”

“You did what?” I snap. Of all the nerve, what a scrubber.

“You’ve got a hide,” Abbie growls. “Fuck off now, you slapper, before I punch your ugly face in.”

Bridget gets the uncontrollable giggles into her drink.
