Okay, so I know it's been a while since there's been an update on here. What can I say? I'm just kinda lazy. Anyway. Enjoy!
The summer began with feeling - well not a whole lot like summer, what with this being Forks. I didn't even have Renee to keep me busy - she was off visiting family in Arizona.
Thus, the first few weeks of summer comprised mostly of me working, sitting around at home watching sports on television and occasional fishing trips with Billy and Harry down at La Push.
It was on one of these fishing trips that they cornered me.
"So Charlie," Billy began, in a tone filled with suggestion, "hows it..uh..going..with you and Renée?"
"Yeah, Charlie, how are the two of you?" Great, I thought, now Harry was joining in too. The implication in their words was clear.
"We're fine, thanks," I replied, "It's all going great. She's visiting her grandparents in Yuma at the moment."
They glanced at each other, eyebrows raised, before looking back at me.
"What we're asking, Charlie...," Billy began.
"I know what you're asking guys. And you know what? It's none of your business." I tried to look innocent as I turned back to my rod. We hadn't had huge amounts of luck catching anything so far, and I was holding out hope for something for my mother to cook for dinner.
"He means no. He just doesn't want to tell us."
"Does he? I heard rumours that they went missing for quite some time at that Owen kid's party,"
"Oh really? Should we be revising our opinion of lil 'Charlie?"
Their mutterings, which they clearly thought were beyond my hearing, amused me. It really wasn't any of their business how far Renee and I had gone.
I chose that moment to turn the tables and start bugging Billy.
"So, what's the name of this week's girl then Billy?" It was an ongoing joke between Harry and I that Billy was with a different girl every week. He laughed,
"It's Sarah,"
"What? Still?" Harry joked, "but you guys must have been together..well a whole month!"
"Hey!" Billy retorted, "I think she could be right for me, y'know?"
Harry and I looked at each other in disbelief. The idea of Billy committing to anyone was alien to us. We all had our labels. I was the sweet romantic. Billy was the commitment-phobe. If we were both challenging our labels, then would Harry be revealing some new side of him that wasn't the joking, but dedicated boyfriend to Sue? He was quick to reassure us.
"Well, I'm still the same old Harry. Far too firmly set in my ways for any of that changing business, me"
We began to laugh, but were distracted by the sudden jerk of my rod's line - the first fish of the day.
Okay, so Billy's a bit of a player...why not? Haha. I wanted to give Charlie some time with the guys...so there it is :) I know it's a short update, but there'll be more soon, promise :) Reviews = love - never forget that!
