"So Eden", Anne-Marie began as the three of them wheeled their cleaning cart down the hall. Eden looked up at Anne-Marie, "Yeah?".
"So what's all this about you having a secret boyfriend?", She asked.
"I don't have a boyfriend secret or otherwise", Eden said as she stripped the bed sheets from the bed tossing them to the floor.
"Aw come on Ed, you've been in a mood since last night", Lena added. "Infact you've been in a huge mood ever since you came back from your walk".
Anne-Marie looked puzzled, "Hang on a sec, Eden. As in the girl right in front of me, went for a walk", She asked. Lena gave a nod," A walk that lasted two whole hours", She said raising her eyebrows.
"A walk that actually involves for you to use your legs to go somewhere without the use of a car?", Anne-Marie said glancing at Eden.
"Maybe it was a rendezvous with her secret lover", Lena gasped.
Eden threw pillows at the two of them, "I went to surf the waves on my own, You know a little bit of me time?".
"Really well your story's different from Penny's", Lena began. It was Eden's turn to look puzzled, "Huh?, What you talking bout girl".
"Penny told me that you were with Drew, She saw the two of you", Lena said excitedly.
Anne-Marie's eyes widened, "Oooh I bet he is the mystery lover", She scoffed.
"I was surfing some waves he showed up, end of story. No big romance behind it nothing!", Eden told them both.
"Oh no I was talking about this morning at Leilani's when you went for breakfast", Lena said loudly.
Anne-Marie laughed, "Oooh two rendezvous!".
"Eden fancies Drew!", Lena sang.
Eden shot her a glare and she immediately backed down and stopped singing, "I do not fancy Drew Taloa, He lent me a couple bucks as I was short. That's all", She shared.
"Alright", Lena began, "We'll leave it at that, but when we get home young lady we both want DETAILS", She giggled.

Eden smoothed out a curve on her latest design on the board she was finishing. A soft reggae tune was playing in the background, She hummed along to the familiar beat. She heard the workshop door creak open and she assumed it was Anne-Marie or Lena.
"Yeah In a sec!", She called out not wanting to leave her creation unfinished.
"I can wait all day", answered a voice.
She switched off her power tool and spun round to see Drew close the workshop door.
"Man you seem to be following me around like a bad smell", She commented.
"Aw c'mon on now don't be like that!", He said walking over to her. Drew glanced at her, She was wearing her usual attire, black and blue board shorts, the stars bikini top. Her long black curls was left down and around her shoulders. Her feet were bare, he wondered if that was a wise choice but chose not to say anything.
"Nice board you got there", He said admiring it as she began to paint it.
"Its for Lena, waves broke her favorite one this morning", Eden informed him.
"Yeah it was pretty rough out there this morning", He said watching her absent mindly sticking her finger on the edge of the board and the touched her face. Scraping her finger down it, scratching an itch but leaving a trail of red paint.
"What!, Why the hell are you staring at me?", She demanded.
Drew pointed, "You've got a little um paint", He began. Eden rubbed her face, Which made it a lot worse.
"Where?, Well come on!. Where is it?", She said grabbing a rag to try and get rid of it.
"Its right there", He said quietly.
"Oh thanks Drew that helps a lot!", Eden said angrily wiping the cloth All over her.
Drew laughed and took the cloth from her. He wiped her cheek gently, and then dropped it back into her hands.
"There its all gone now", He told her.
Eden continued with her work, still unaware why he was here.
"So are you guy's going with Anne-Marie to the big Tahiti Competition?", He asked referring to the upcoming competition in Tahiti.
"Anne-Marie can only take two people, Lena and Penny", She told him simply.
"So that leaves you out I guess", Drew said to her.
"Give the man a prize, I guess it does. I couldn't go anyway, boards need doing and I've still got a job to do!", Eden said slowly.
"But What about all the money?", Drew said. "The money Anne-Marie get's from surfing, I would have thought you guy's could give up those crappy jobs", He wondered.
"Well you see half of it goes into a trust fund for Penny, and the rest pay's off our gas, electric and water bill. We still need to pay for the food we eat, and I still need to pay for my equipment", Eden shared.
"Eden!, Hey Eddie!. You in there!", came Lena's voice as the door was opened.
"Oh hey Drew!, How's it going?", Lena asked as she entered.
"Not too bad thanks, sorry to hear bout your board", Drew told her slowly.
Lena gave a nod, "Yeah Man it was rough out there today, Misjudge the wave and snap!", She said smashing her head on the table. She looked at him and cocked her head, "So whatch'a doing here?".
"Just dropped by to hang with Eden for a bit", He explained.
"Oh I see hang with Eden, well I suppose I'd better leave you to hang with her then", Lena smiled.
Eden gave her a glare, and Drew noted it. "You know what Len, I gotta get goin'. Eden, I'll see you tomorrow don't be late!", He said as he walked out.
Lena placed herself on the work bench and looked at Eden who began to sweep the wood chippings up.
"And what's that all about?", She asked.
"All about what?".
"You and Drew alone here in the workshop, maybe doing a little summit summit", Lena winked impishly.
""Girl stop being immature!", Eden told her.
Lena laughed loudly, "Me immature, I'm not the one with paint on my face Eden".
"What!", Eden snapped.
Lena picked up a mirror that was strewn in the mess, "See for yourself,its looks like you painted yourself up to be a clown".
Eden glanced in the mirror,Sure enough red paint had been splashed around her face making her look slightly like a clown. She scowled and grabbed the cloth once again, "I'm going to kill him!", She mumbled.
