\u201cMmm, I think I am.\u201d Summer shook her head. \u201cI don\u2019t photograph well at all. You\u2019re very kind to lie to me so, but I know what I look like.\u201d The face she made at him was confused and vaguely suspicious. \u201cNow why does that make your curiosity perk up? \u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony just shrugged nonchalantly. \u201cGuess I just assumed that it was some other weird power you had.\u201d He smiled, \u201cSo\u2026I guess what you\u2019re saying is, I should just stop staring and take a picture because it will last longer.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cEither take a picture or let\u2019s get off the street. I mean, if you want to hurt yourself staring at me, I don\u2019t really care, but I\u2019d rather not stand outside and do it.\u201d She paused. \u201c\u2026 what on earth would you \/do\/ with a picture of me? Wouldn\u2019t the real thing be better? More correctly, wouldn\u2019t someone better-looking and willing to go home with you be better?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cGeeze. Talking about taking me home already? At least buy me dinner first!~\u201d Tony chuckled with a charming smile. \u201cAnyway, you\u2019re plenty attractive,\u201d he said as he moved the both of them off the street and onto the sidewalk.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer rolled her eyes, but she couldn\u2019t help smiling back. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean me at all. And you can stop trying to flatter me. I really do know what I look like.\u201d She tapped a finger on her mouth, eyeing him up and down. \u201cYou didn\u2019t answer my question, either. Do you make a habit of avoiding questions?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tony bobbed his head from side to side lightly. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say I was, avoiding. <\/em>I like to think of it as, gracefully sidestepping.\u201d A rather sarcastic, smug grin spread across his face, as he continued to avoid the lingering question. \u201cI\u2019m pretty good at flattery. Especially when it comes to myself.~\u201d The arrogant smile never left his lips.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Ah, well, the world knows how you think of yourself, Mr Stark. But I am asking you to stop telling me pretty lies and answer a simple question. Come now, is it so hard?” Why was she even pressing the point like this, she wondered to herself. Because what \/her\/ ego really needed was to be squashed by Tony Stark, master playboy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
