“Have you seen her yet?” Lila asked Grace as they took their seats in the bar with drinks in hand.
“No.” Grace responded simply. “And I don’t want to.”
“Well I think it’s going to be very difficult to avoid her…” Lila trailed off as her head turned in the direction of the doors, just as Poppy and her friend Kaycee walked through.
There was no ignoring the many faces that immediately turned their way and also no hiding exactly who their gazes were fixed on.
Kaycee Carson was new in town and she was here to make herself known. She was a 25 years old blonde with a body that she had worked incredibly hard for. She had striking features which were both beautiful but were also capable of being absolutely terrifying with just a simple look.
Her beauty wasn’t the only thing that made her capture such a large amount of attention though. In fact, it was actually her family name and her own reputation that made a girl like her difficult to ignore.
The Carson’s were a wealthy family that were known for moving around often and creating havoc everywhere they went. They were trouble. They were capable of blowing things up and then walking away with no blood on their hands, while everyone else suffered the consequences.
“That’s her.” Lila tried to discretely point in the direction of Kaycee while Grace glimpsed in that direction. “She already looks trouble.”
“Which is exactly why I’m worried for Fran. She’s fucking mesmerised by the girl and there is no knocking her out of it.” Grace bit in frustration as she watched Kaycee walk towards the bar with confidence in her stride.
She was wearing very little but what she did have on was all black to match her dark smokey eyes.
“She’s still sleeping with her then?” Lila asked. “I was hoping it was just going to be a one time thing.”
“Yeah, she still is and I know it’s only a matter of time before she gets her heart broken.” Grace trailed off. “Kaycee tells her to jump and Fran asks ‘how high?’ It’s like she’s loosing her own rational mind.”
“So do you think all of the stories about Kaycee are true?”
“Of course. Poppy has said so herself. I don’t know what shit she is involved in but her family is mysteriously wealthy. It’s not innocent.”
A shiver ran down Lila’s spine just thinking of it. She was just as worried about Fran as Grace was yet there was very little either of them were able to do. Fran had been trapped under Kaycee’s spell the moment she met her and since then there was no getting her out.
Kaycee Carson was a dangerous mystery and her arrival in Brighton was not going unnoticed. She was here to make money and break hearts, and she was going to do that no matter what it took.
