All she could do was shake her head with a forbearing smile and follow Tony to the booth. Very purposefully, she sat across from him. \u201cJust a soda,\u201d Summer said firmly, to the waiter. \u201cLemon-lime.\u201d Then she fixed Tony with a sceptical look. \u201cYou\u2019ll see about later? Maybe you want to ask me? I might have plans. I might have a boyfriend \u2014 or girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

I might be starting to wonder if the game is worth the candle, she thought. I definitely don\u2019t want to be a one-night stand.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He simply smiled, lacing his fingers together and balancing his chin atop them. \u201cWell, do you?\u201d The waiter brought their drinks, already knowing what the billionaire would order.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer tried to keep her face stern, but failed after a minute, laughing. \u201cOkay, you got me,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI don\u2019t have anyone. I have no lovers, I have no plans, and I have no life.\u201d Tearing the top of the paper on the straw, she tried to blow it at Tony.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The paper straw cover flew wildly through the air towards the Iron Man, who caught it quickly. Tony chuckled lightly. \u201cYou don\u2019t seem like the type to have no life. Come on. There\u2019s gotta be something<\/em> you\u2019re interested in. Besides me, of course.~\u201d That arrogant, self-appreciating grin stretched across his face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Just what is that supposed to mean?” she commented lightly. “Seriously, I don’t have a life the way you think of it. I’m not a party girl; I don’t spend a lot of time in the bars. Mostly I stay home and read, or play video games. Twice a week I go to martial arts class.” She sipped at her drink. “There are lots of things I’m interested in, but mostly they don’t constitute a life.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
