PopTVâs newest hit series is all about good friends living the good life in L.A.âright? Last we checked, friends donât lie to each otherâor stab each other in the well-dressed back. On famed reality TV producer Trevor Lordâs sugarcoated confection, itâs hard to tell whoâs really friends and whoâs just making nice for more airtime. But one thingâs for sure: This candy isnât as sweet as it appears to be. In fact, it just might be toxic.
Jane Roberts sat up on her white chaise longue and gazed at the horizon between the vast blue ocean and the vast blue sky. She could hear the distant cries of seagulls and the roar of the surf as it curled in, approaching high tide. The breeze, dry and warm for December, stirred her long, wavy blond hair. She reached for the cactus-pear margarita on top of the small hand-painted table next to her and took a long sip.
It was a perfect day on a perfect beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. But not for Jane, who felt perfectly awful.
âAnother margarita, sweetie?â
Jane glanced over her shoulder and saw her friend Madison Parker walking toward her. Despite her mood, Jane had to smile. Madison was wearing a bronze bikini that barely covered her size-zero figure, along with five-inch wedges and full makeup, including bright coral lipstick. But that was Madison. She never went anywhere, not even to the beach, without spending an hour and a half getting ready.
âIâm good, thanks. Whereâs your Gucci purse? And your gold jewelry?â Jane teased.
Madison slid onto the chaise longue next to Janeâs. âHey, a girlâs gotta look her best, right? You never know when there might be a photographer around. Or a hot guy.â She lowered her massive Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses to stare at a nearby lifeguard with an impressive six-pack. âLike him. Hmm, I call dibs!â
âHeâs all yours,â Jane said. After the boy drama sheâd been through lately, she really wasnât interested. She was in Mexico to get away from her disastrous love life and the media circus, not to scope out guys. âAnyway, I thought you said this was a private resort and that photographers couldnât get in.â
