Control

Kylie walked past the pool, and back inside the club. She was annoyed at herself - Walshy just knew what buttons to press to get her every time. He could make her hate him, yet still want him at the same time. f**k him, she thought to herself. She headed through the club to the VIP area, hoping to find Mia or Cole.

The club was a lot busier now, people were everywhere, drinking, dancing, laughing and joking. What had Walshy done whilst she’d been away to get so many more people coming to the club? Kylie wondered.

“Hey!” Someone grabbed her arm as she walked past. It was Jimmy Walsh - he was tall and had the same dark hair and cheeky face as his brother.

Kylie smiled. “Hi!”

“How was Spain?” Jimmy asked, his eyes twinkling.

“Good.” Kylie replied.

Jimmy laughed. “You’ve royally pissed Neil off. Although I think what we did would piss him off even more.” He moved closer to Kylie. “I haven’t told him.”

Kylie shrugged. “I’m not bothered if you do. Me and him are finished.” She said firmly.

“Can I get you a drink?” Jimmy asked, noticing the nearly empty glass in her hand. Kylie nodded and he waved over a waiter walking through the crowd.

“Mrs Walsh, good to see you!” The waiter smiled. “Would you like the usual?”

“It’s Miss Bentley now, but yeah thanks.” Kylie said.

“Sorry, of course,” the waiter blushed and hurried away. Jimmy laughed.

“I always thought you suited being a Walsh.” He said, winking at Kylie. She laughed and took her drink off the tray the waiter had just reappeared with. She noticed Walshy across the club, he was talking and laughing with 2 half-clothed girls with big boobs. Kylie rolled her eyes.

“Have you seen Mia?” She asked Jimmy.

“Yeah, she was chatting up some of the SouthSide lads.” He said. “Come on.”

“The who lads?” Kylie asked, following him as he started walking towards the VIP area.

“Some lads Neil’s been doing a bit of business with.” Jimmy replied. “From the South.”

“What kind of business?” Kylie said.

Jimmy looked at her. “Not sure,” he said, hesitantly.

“Liar!” Kylie said. Before she could say any more, someone ran into her at full speed, throwing their arms around her and knocking her drink flying.

“Kylieeeeee!” It was Mia and she was very drunk.

“Hi.” Kylie said, laughing and disentangling herself from Mia’s arms.

“I’ll get us some more drinks.” Cole had also come running over, waving to the waiter to clean up the drink on the floor. “Let’s go sit near the bar.”

Mia linked her arm in Kylie’s and pulled her towards the bar. Kylie glanced up and noticed a man looking at her from the other side of the room. She held his gaze for a moment. He was gorgeous! Tanned, muscly, wavy blonde hair, shiny blue eyes.

“Come on!” Mia said impatiently, pulling on Kylie’s arm. They sat at a tall table next to the bar and Kylie looked over to the man again. He was sat in a booth with his friends, drinking and talking. Jimmy noticed her looking over and smirked.

“Now, if you wanted to piss my brother off even more, that would be an excellent way to go about it.” He said.
