Glycerine Chapter 3 Teaser

His gaze drifted to her chest, a strange feeling of déjà vu sweeping over him as his eyes trailed down her body and back up again. “Have we met?”

Bella’s jaw slackened as disbelief washed over her. Was he serious? Did he really have no idea who she was? She searched his eyes for a hint of recognition, a sign that he was just messing with her, but all she found was sheer curiosity.

Her eyes tightened around the corners as her mouth curved into a sickly sweet smile. She tried to remain even tempered, to appear cool and collected, even though she was burning on the inside with embarrassment and anger. She knew he got around, knew he’d slept with more people in the last couple of years than she would in a lifetime, still it did nothing to lessen the sting of having someone not remember having sex with you.

“Nope.”

“No?” He cocked his head to the side and studied her, a slow smile spreading across his face. They might not know each other yet, but Edward was already thinking of ways to rectify that situation, and there was no time like the present. Just as he opened his mouth to speak a girl came flying around the corner, her wild red hair falling around her flushed face, her expression shocked as she stared at him.

Edward sighed internally and dropped his hands from the girl in front of him before running his fingers through his hair. He was used to the attention, the shock that always crossed women’s faces when they saw him in person for the first time. And while most of the time he was more than happy to listen to them go on about how amazing he was, right now he had other plans in mind.

Bella spun around as soon as she heard Victoria gasp, her eyes wide and pleading as she tried to communicate with Victoria that she was freaking out. Victoria slowed her pace as she approached Edward and Bella, their body language exactly how you would expect to see a predator and prey in the wild.
