Summary: They spend a few lazy summer hours together.
Rendezvous
*.*
He sleeps with Tanya's little sis, but once he finds out who she is, he never tells anyone.
She pulls out of the carwash just as he's getting off his shift. He's busying himself with stuffing his work shirt into his backpack and fishing for his car keys, so he doesn't see her cruise to a stop just past the exit. His shin hits metal and he glances up, startled.
"Watch where you're going," she snarls. Edward is incredulous. She climbs out of the car to snap her mirror back into place. She's cute but not hot, though he has no complaints about the gorgeous athletic figure wrapped in jeans and a tank top. Still, all he can see right now is a bitch.
"Me? Watch where I'm going?" he exclaims. "You stopped in the middle of the lane!" Bella rolls her eyes.
"There's no lane, it's a parking lot," she says.
"Take a chill pill, sweetheart."
She walks around the corner, and Edward thinks that's that. Except that he still can't find his keys, and realizes that he left them behind the counter earlier in the afternoon, when he had been using his keychain pocketknife to open a box. Jasper looks up from his post where he's pretending to be processing order forms and reaches into the drawer beside him.
"Forget something?" he teases. Edward rolls his eyes and makes a grab for the keys.
"Is it all right if I snag a soda?" he asks. Jasper glances out the window for their boss, but sees that he's nowhere to be found.
"Knock yourself out."
Edward skirts around to the back and skids to a halt when he sees Bella standing in front of the soda fountain, snapping a lid onto a 32-ounce cup. She's thumbing through the cash in her wallet and doesn't see him, colliding directly with his chest. She squeaks, startled, and Edward reaches out to steady her. When she sees who it is she laughs.
"We seem to be quite good at this whole bumping into each other thing," she says. Gone is the prissy bitch and suddenly she's all loose and flirty. Edward smirks. He hardly minds.
They fuck in the backseat of her SUV. It's not mind-blowing, or awkward, it's just nice and easy. They even manage to share a few laughs as they maneuver around the tiny, cramped space. They don't exchange names or phone numbers, just collect their sodas and go their separate ways, having found a pleasurable way to kill a few lazy summer hours.
Classes officially starts two days later. Edward loses his job a month after that. It's with great hesitance that he and Tanya somewhat rekindle their friendship after their break-up last semester, leading to several awkward attempts to incorporate him back into her life. On the third of such futile attempts, Edward "meets" Bella — a Kappa pledge and Tanya's little sis. They share a smirk and nothing more needed to be said.
