Stanton Box Set - Page 373

“Natasha, Bridget isn’t the type of girl who would be easy to leave.”

I smile. Oh wow, Ben really, really likes Bridget. I have big news for my beloved sister.

“Don’t listen to Cameron, you fuckwit,” Joshua sighs. The driver has a snicker to himself.

I frown at Joshua. “What does Cameron say?” I ask.

“He has warned Ben off Bridget for months, carries on like a big girl.” Joshua tutts.

“I don’t listen to Cameron,” Ben snaps. “But he has a point.”

I frown again. “What’s the point?” I ask.

Ben thinks about his answer again. “That your mother has already lost one daughter to overseas and she is not losing another one.”

My heart drops. Oh, Cameron is thinking of my mum. I don’t know whether to punch him or kiss him.

“Oh,” I whisper, shocked. “I wouldn’t worry. I don’t think Bridget is thinking of marriage and babies anytime soon Ben.,” I reply.

He nods and keeps looking straight ahead.

“You should just go for it,” Joshua asserts.

Ben shakes his head sadly. “No, I’m not starting something. I

don’t know what I was thinking.”

Joshua sits up in his seat. “Did something happen?” he asks.

Ben keeps his eyes on the road. “No,” he replies in monotone. I smile broadly and nod my head at Joshua and he smirks and narrows his eyes at the back of Ben’s head. We continue up the road until we get to the large sandstone gates with the guard. It’s so weird having a gated community. I smile at Joshua who is watching me intently.

“What?“ I frown as I gently grab his hand in mine.

He smiles again and shakes his head as if amused about something.

I smile. “What?’ I ask again.

“I was just wondering if Carson is going to be waiting at my house when we get there.”

My face falls. “Are you serious?” I gasp.

He laughs and shakes his head. “No,” he replies.

Ben chuckles from the front seat. “Not funny, Joshua,” I huff. “That man is not on my list of favourite people.”

Ben turns. “I’m guessing you are not on his either.” He smiles.

Joshua laughs out loud again as I fake a smile and narrow my eyes. “You two are hilarious,” I mutter under my breath. We turn the corner into the street with the beautiful trees and arrive at Joshua’s space-age palace gates. I can feel my nerves rise. It’s been a long time since I have been here, and I wonder if anything has changed. We make our way up the circular driveway toward the huge dark charcoal rendered palace. Fuck. I had forgotten how impeccable this place is, although I do have to admit that after being at beautiful Kamala for the last week I am more prepared for this opulence than the first time I was here. The car pulls up and the girls’ car is in front of us parked near the front doors and Adrian and two of the guards are taking luggage out of the trunk. The girls are waiting for me and have their best we-fucking-hate-you looks on their faces. I giggle when I see them and jump out of the car.

They rush me as Joshua gets out of the other side of the car.

“This is bullshit,” Abbie whispers as she links her arm with mine.

I nod and smile. “I know, right,” I reply.

Bridget takes my other arm in hers and we start to walk over to the front steps. “It’s like James Bond shit,” Bridget whispers and we giggle. We turn and Ben walks past us with the bags into the house. He and Bridget exchange looks but he just glares at her.

“He’s a cock,” Abbie whispers as he goes inside. Bridget drops her head in sadness and I whisper: “I got goss on that later.”
