OnAmerica’s Next Top Model, the judging panel were rating the contestants.
“Which one do you like?”I said.
“Models aren’t my type.They’re too tall.”
“Whatisyour type?”
“You, wisenheimer,” he said.
“What’s your type about me?”
“Your body, your freckles, your cute lil face.”
I laughed.“Shut up.”
“You asked.”
When I was growing up, my sister used to make fun of my freckles.I was glad when they faded, but they always came back in the summer, and he must have noticed.
“Does your ex-boyfriend look like me?”
“Not really.He’s a little taller than you.His hair’s lighter, and it’s wavy, not curly.It’s a lot longer than yours too, and he wears glasses.You’ve both got the same body type, though.”
“Is he a dancer?”
“No, but he used to play soccer.He was pretty good at it when we were in high school.Why do you want to know?”
“Just curious.Is he married now?”
“He’s dating Edgar.”
“The Edgar you fooled around with?”
“It was only the one time,” he said.“But yeah, him.”
“Is Edgar why you broke up with Tommy?”
“Yeah, and he’s why Trish and I broke up too.”
“Wait, what?If you only fooled around with him once, how did he break up two of your relationships?”
“Tommy cheated on me with Edgar.I cheated on Trish with Edgar.”
“You cheated on Trish?”
“Yeah, and she cheated on me with her ex-boyfriend.I told you we had problems.”
“You don’t solve relationship problems by cheating.”
“I figured that out,” he said.
“I don’t understand.When I told you how I felt about you, you rejected me because you were with her.But you cheated on her with Edgar.Why him and not me?”
“It was a different situation.What I did with Edgar wasn’t sex—it was sexual, but it wasn’t sex.I didn’t touch him.He didn’t touch me.I guess I told myself it wasn’t really cheating because of that.And Edgar didn’t want a relationship.He just wanted to watch me get off.You wanted a relationship.I couldn’t give you that while I was dating Trish.”
“But having a fling doesn’t count?”
“You weren’t asking me for a fling, were you?And I never wanted to just have a fling with you.I knew that from day one.There’s no way I would have started something with you unless I was single.”
