“You? A geek?” I replied, raising my brows in shock. “Despite
your slutty ways, Edward, you’re kind of hot.”
“Um… a… erm…well?” he stammered. “What?”
“You are,” I said, dipping my spoon into the ice cream. “I
don’t see the geek.”
“Hold that thought,” he said as he darted away. The lights
were still off and I heard him run into something, cursing a blue streak that
he stubbed his toe. Ten minutes later, he came back with a small photo album. “No
one, I mean, NO ONE has seen this since I graduated from high school. It’s been
buried under my bed in a shoe box, bonding with dust bunnies.” He sat next to
me at the breakfast bar and pulled a candle close to us. “Don’t laugh.” Edward
appeared nervous as he pushed the photo album toward me. I smiled reassuringly
as I took it, slowly opening it up.
Inside there were pictures of Edward that were less than
flattering. Apparently, he had a penchant for wearing this ugly rainbow
sweater, hand knit scarves and really thick black glasses. In addition to that,
he had a mouthful of braces. With the head gear. I looked at the sexy as fuck
man sitting next to me and back again at the geek. “This isn’t you.”
“I assure you. It is,” he said, biting his lip. “We had a
vote at my private school that wasn’t broadcast to the staff members, but I was
voted most likely to stay a virgin for my whole life.”
“Damn,” I said as I ran my fingers over the pictures,
shocked at how long Edward’s hair was. “Obviously, you changed. Physically,
that is.”
“Yeah. Eventually, I got the braces off,” he said. “Though,
I do still have to wear the retainers at night.” He popped out two retainers
and blushed. “Those braces cost a pretty penny and I do NOT want to deal with
the pain of them ever again.” He put the retainers back in his mouth and ran
his fingers through his hair. “I also got corrective eye surgery to get rid of
the glasses. I was a step away from being blind. However, my dad’s connections
with the medical community got me into some clinical trial for Lasik and I’m
currently without glasses. I also got a haircut and discovered the wonders of
gel and pomade. Alice helped me with that.”
“Now, I’m going to turn into Dr. Phil on you,” I quipped.
Daniel gale is sexy beast. And I would love to ravish him.
