I wonder what this could possibly be hinting at? No? You want some of the text too? Oh, all right...
Chapter 4 Teaser:
“Sup, brah,” Eric said as he stepped out onto the balcony.
Edward stopped strumming his guitar and looked up, giving Eric a nod of acknowledgement. He set his guitar down and picked up his green bottle of Heineken from the floor, taking a long pull from it.
“You get the grinds?” Edward asked, placing his beer back down.
“I did…I also ran into my buddy Mike Newton. You remember him? He surfed with us a couple of weeks ago.”
“The douchebag from La Jolla?” Edward asked, not bothering to look up.
“What’s the deal with that, brah? You say something to him before we got out there? He almost stuffed you in the barrel and then you guys get out of the water and almost come to blows. What happened?”
Eric had a feeling it might’ve had to do with a young woman named Bella Swan, but he didn’t want to say anything about that just yet.
“Besides the fact that he almost caused me to wipe out? The fucker came up to me and just started talking shit! ‘Oh you’re Edward Masen, huh? I expected more’…I mean, what the fuck man? What an asshole!”
Eric just nodded. He had to play this right if he wanted Edward to cooperate.
“Eh…I think he’s mellowed out some since then. I met his chick tonight. Real cute girl, great smile, deep brown eyes, mahogany hair…and she had this cute blush. She’s from this small town in Washington…Spoons or something--”
“Forks,” Edward cut him off. He gritted his teeth before he looked up to glare at Eric. “The town is called Forks, and you know that’s where my parents live, so cut the crap. What the hell are you getting at?”
Inside, Edward’s heart was hammering in his chest. Part of him wanted to hope that Eric was describing who he thought he was, but the other part of him, the part of him that died that day so many years ago, hoped it wasn’t her. He wasn’t sure he could bear the thought of her being on the same island, and even more so, he did not like the idea of her dating that tool Mike Newton. Edward’s eyes narrowed as Eric took the photo frame from behind his back.
“Mike’s girl is named Bella Swan. You never told me about a girl back in Forks. I think it’s time you spill, brah.”
