"See, that's why your company is so successful You know exactly how to frame a situation with a few simple words"

"Your point being?"

It shouldn't be this easy It really shouldn't "Kisses like this"--he held up theall my life It's all I know"

She raised her eyes to the ceiling "If you were anyone else, I'd know you were joking" He found hi second as she paused "But you, I think, just ht be serious"

He held back a smile An easy five yards on the first down The next five should be just as easy

"So, say I' on a couch with a woman ants a piece ofto take a picture that ends up in the papers the next day"

"Do you actually think I' to wonder what goes on in your alternate reality"

He couldn't help grinning this ti since he'd had such an enjoyable conversation with anyone, let alone the opposite sex His guy friends aet into his pants or his bank account, or trying to convince him to hook them up with another football player's bank account and/or pants

"Sure," he said "You've got to be the hot babe And then you've got to teach aze to her breasts "Don't worry that you're all natural That won't throw ht here"

Hoping he could h instead of walk out on hihtly, as if he were holding a soft weight

"You didn't actually just pretend to squeeze a pair of breasts, did you?" Fortunately, she looked more amused than annoyed

"You kno us jocks are Now, back to your role as hot babe"

"As if I'h to fall for this"

He was all innocence "For what?"

"Okay," he said, "throw yourself at me"

"You iven that we're in 'Ty's Weird World' right now, but I wouldn't have the first clue how to throw myself at anyone"

"Not even your favorite football star?"

"I don't have a favorite football star," she said "Or baseball, basketball, or hockey Gerard Butler is kind of cute, though Maybe i could pretend you're him?"

Ty wanted to crack Gerard Butler's head against a brick wall He couldn't believe he was actually jealous of an actor

Clearly, when it ca

"Pretend I'm Gerard Butler, then," he forced out between his teeth

She held out her hand "Hi, I'reat Especially that foreign one where you pretend to be the little boy's father"
