It had been a week since Grace and Trevor had even been alone together let alone spoke more than a simple hey. Fraser's eyes where always on them and Grace was sure he was keeping Trevor busy just to keep him from her.
"Already" Grace spoke as she made her way up the stairs, seeing Trevor sat at the bar with a drink in his hands.
"Surprised my Dad ain't got you on a job" Grace said to Trevor as he took a swig of his drink, then looked to the stairs where Grace had just entered.
"Yeah well I ain't getting too used to it, I swear he's giving me extra jobs as a punishment or something" Trevor replied, his eye wondering down the length of Grace's body.
"Well you know my Dad" Grace replied.
Their eyes meant for a brief second before Trevor spoke again.
"So, what brings you here?" he asked her, turning back to his drink.
"Hmm, I was bored, I hate being bored, I don't even have anyone's life to mess with" Grace told him as she went behind the bar and got herself a drink.
Trevor let out a loud laugh "Must be hard for you" he teased as he carried on laughing.
"So where is your Dad anyway?" Trevor asked as his laughter died down.
"With his wife, they make me sick, they're all over each other" Grace said in disgusted as she went to sit on the bar stool next to him.
"They're in love" Trevor said sarcastically and Grace pulled a face.
"What? Don't you believe all that soul mate crap?" Trevor asked her, trying to hide his smirk.
"When is anything that simple?" Grace sighed as she caught Trevor's gaze.
"It can be" Trevor told her, as their eyes lingered on each other.
"Can it?" Grace asked in a whisper "I don't think it can" she said, going to walk away but Trevor caught her arm and she stopped, looking down at his hand.
"I do" Trevor told her and her eyes travelled up to his.
"What you believe in all that?" Grace asked him "You said it yourself, it's crap" she added, pulling away from him but he caught her arm again, stopping her from leaving.
"I believe it can be that simple, if we want it to be" Trevor told her and Grace let out a disbelieving laugh.
"Grace, I do" Trevor told her, moving his hand to her face and brushing her hair back with his fingers.
"You do what?" Grace asked, forgetting her train of thought momentarily.
"I l..." Trevor started to say but a loud bang from downstairs broke them apart.
Fraser appeared in front of Trevor, and by this time Grace had gone into the office.
Trevor just looked at Fraser and held his glass up "Want one?"
"Sure, have you seen Grace?" Fraser asked.
"She's in the office" Trevor told him, handing him his drink.
"What's she doing in there?" Fraser questioned.
"I don't know, I ain't her keeper" Trevor snapped.
"Anyway, I want you to seduce Mercedes" Fraser told him, causing him to splutter his drink out.
"You what?" Trevor asked shaking his head.
"Trevor, you do this and I will give you a cut of £5000" Fraser said.
"£5000" Trevor said as a smirk appeared on his face.
"Yep, Browning' s insurance came through and I want to take it off her, every penny, and you my boy and going to get it for me" Fraser said, slapping him on the back.
"By seducing her?" Trevor clarified.
"Yes Trevor, you do whatever it takes to get that money" Fraser told him "Browning killed my daughter, so now I want his money, a small price to pay for taking my beloved daughter from me" he added.
"If you ain't up for it, I'll find someone else" Fraser told Trevor.
"No, I'll do it" Trevor said.
"So, you'll seduce Mercedes" Fraser said rather loudly, fully aware that Grace was listening.
Grace came storming out of the office "You what?"
"He's going to seduce Mercedes, isn't that right Trevor?" Fraser said.
"Yep, I will get you your money" Trevor replied, looking at Grace before leaving through the backdoor.
"Have you got a problem with that?" Fraser asked Grace.
Grace stared at her Dad for a moment, knowing that it wasn't a good idea to cross her Dad; it would end badly, not for her, but for Trevor.
"No" Grace told her father.
"Good" Fraser said before leaving the club, smirking to himself.
