The Trio

Chapter 1 - 3

Prologue

During the college years there were three young people and they instantly became, like they have known each other for life, in this case quite literally with two of them.  The trio as their classmates called them went everywhere together, they were inseparable, even after graduation, and they kept in contact.

Ten years later…’The Trio’ are still the best of friends,  even after all these years, little did they all know things were about to change………..

Chapter one

It was a hot summer’s day James was maintaining his beautiful garden which he designed himself for his beautiful wife Victoria who he knew since they were little.  James being a very talented man has also designed their house that they are living in, and Victoria with a very good sense of fashion/style/design is a fashion designer with her own clothing company called V-designs.  Then the doorbell was heard so Victoria went to open it and she called to James and he shouted from the garden “you is at the door, Hun”, “just come here James” shouted Victoria.  So he went to the front door and there he was Edward Cullen the friend that completed ‘The Trio’.  They group hugged and went inside, sat in the garden and caught up on the gossip.

Whilst Victoria was cooking James showed Edward around the house, and then asked he asked Edward “do you want to go for a swim”, “yeah sure, why not”, so they changed into their swimwear and swam lengths and lengths and lengths till Victoria called out “lunchtime boys”.

So they all went to the kitchen and sat around the table, they got chatting about the old times, joked and laughed, then the conversation went to Edward asking “have you two had a crush on someone back in college”.

There was silence for a good few minutes……

Victoria then broke the silence and said “yes I have, his name was Seth”, then they laughed and Edward said “Seth is a loner, he didn’t like anyone”, “maybe so but he was cute though, so how about you James, did you have a crush on anyone”.  James thought for a moment then said “well, yeah sort of”, “oh yeah, who is she” Edward asked.  James didn’t want to say anything at first, but was thinking that they would want a name, but he also thought it may upset one or two people he cares about dearly, so he nervously said “her name was Edwina”, and so the conversation continued with Victoria asking the same question to Edward and he replied “yeah there were a few people I could name, but I am not going to name all of them…” “Tell us already” James blurted out.  “Ok here are a few, Bella, Mike, Alice but she was with Jasper”.  James and Victoria were stunned and had no idea that Edward had a crush on Mike, but they didn’t hate him for that, they are glad that the truth is out, or is it…?

After they all finished and cleared up the dishes, James, Edward and Victoria went to the garden and chilled out in the sun before swimming again.  Whilst the boys were swimming, Victoria went off shopping for design research as she had a small deadline to finish.

It wasn’t till she left, that Edward started to relax a bit more and having a private conversation with James.  James started off saying “What are you doing now, have you got a girlfriend yet?” Edward then said “I own a club now in forks and it is very successful, I’m planning on having another in ‘La Push’”. “That sounds great buddy, what is it called would love to check it out some time.” James replied.  It’s called ‘Quileute’, it’s an ancient name.” “Quileute, I think I heard of that somewhere, but it sounds like you are living the dream.” “Well yeah guess you can say that, I don’t have a girlfriend yet, still waiting for the right person to come along, and have I ever told you that I feel so much happier and relaxed around you James.  I know you do too, and following up the conversation from lunch there was one other person I had a huge crush on…” James cut him off and said “what are you trying to say”, Edward sighed and passionately said “I love you”.
