“Who said it was a joke?” Tony said raising his eyebrows.
“Why would it not be a joke? I don’t think I’m your type, Tony.” One hand caught the back of the chair she’d been sitting in earlier, and she dropped into it, not meeting Tony’s eyes. She could still feel the press of his mouth to hers, and she couldn’t decide if she was annoyed and being taken advantage of, or wanted more.
“I don’t have a type.” Tony rolled his eyes. “If you’ll remember I’m pretty against generalizations. I kissed you because I wanted to.” He held up his phone. “Now will you shut up for like two seconds while I order the pizza?” he smirked.
“I am /so/ confused,” Summer muttered to herself. She rubbed at her face. When Tony hung up the phone, she sighed. “What the fuck is going on?”
“I kissed you because I wanted to. And so you would stop tormenting my fish.” Tony shrugged. “I don’t know what you’re so confused about.”
“Tony,” Summer explained matter-of-factly, “Nobody wants to kiss me. I’m not pretty, I’m a nerd, and I’m annoying and too smart. You want to give the /real/ reason?”
“Maybe I have a little crush on you Summer,” Tony said wiggling his eyebrows at her. “What’s so far fetched about a self obsessed genius having a crush on the annoying too smart nerd girl?”
She spluttered, failing at an answer for a long moment. Finally she managed, “Because it’s never happened before. Not seriously. The one guy I ever dated, I asked him out. Four months later he claimed I’d cast a spell on him to make him love me.” Her face burned, confessing that. But as long as she was telling truths …
“Besides, you liking me would be too much like a dream come true.”
