\u201cYou\u2019re starting to sound like me,\u201d Summer returned wryly. \u201cIf I wanted you to leave, I\u2019d say so.\u201d She collected forks and sat down at the table, watching Victor. \u201cI\u2019m not really complaining. Just \u2026 confused. I can\u2019t remember the last time someone \/wanted\/ to shag me. Much less,\u201d she gestured around, \u201c\/spoil\/ me.\u201d With quick, economical motions, she tied her hair in a lovers\u2019 haste knot.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAm I? Starting to sound like you?\u201d he asked, \u201cIs that a good thing or a bad thing?\u201d Victor smirked then made a show of checking her over with his eyes. \u201cYou can\u2019t remember the last time someone wanted to shag you? That\u2019s ridiculous, you\u2019d have to have been living under a rock in order for that to happen. And if you think this,\u201d he returned her gesture regarding the food, \u201cis spoiling then you haven\u2019t seen anything.\u201d Victor shrugged. \u201cI\u2019m a bachelor with money at his disposal, I tend to be a little generous cos in all reality I\u2019ve no need for all of it.\u201d He rocked back on his heels a little bit, he wasn\u2019t the type to flaunt and horde his money, he liked to give things away to his friends and anonymously help out non-profits. \u201cAnyways, what would you like to drink?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cVictor, darling,\u201d she drawled, folding her arms, \u201cI would \/really\/ appreciate it if you\u2019d stop insinuating I\u2019m a liar. There\u2019s the end of some apple juice in the fridge. Now,\u201d she leaned forward, \u201cI am, again, not complaining. It\u2019s your money, you do what you like. I\u2019m not ignorant of your \u2014 hmm \u2014 appreciation? But you have to understand, I\u2019ve been alone in that way far too much of my life, and your particular regard is very unfamiliar to me.\u201d Summer sighed, leaning back and looking down at her hands. \u201cFrankly, I don\u2019t know what you see.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNot callin\u2019 you a liar, love, more like I can’t believe that a majority of the males you\u2019ve encountered were so thick headed.\u201d He followed her instruction and grabbed the apple juice and poured it out then placed it in front of her. He sat down then and leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table. \u201cWell, I\u2019m sorry to hear that, Summer. Honestly, I see someone I can trust. Don\u2019t ask me why, like I said, call it intuition, it\u2019s a feeling I get. I see someone that can be caring and can keep up with me if not outwit me in a conversation and I like that. It\u2019s rare that I find all of that in one person.\u201d He paused one moment and grabbed some pancakes. \u201cWhy is it that you\u2019ve been alone so much? You seem to know more about me than I do about you, would you be up for sharing?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer shrugged. “Sure. Ask me anything.” She picked up the fork and started playing with her eggs, pushing them around. It felt like Victor wasn’t taking her seriously. “I’ve always been weird,” she began, quietly, not looking at him. “I read too much, I think too much, I’m too outspoken. No tact, that’s how my mother puts it. I don’t dress right.” She sighed. “Imagine how you felt when you were a teenager. Then double it, triple it, a thousand times — that was my growing up. Because of what I am. I was shy, and introverted, and not enough like most of my classmates.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
