Stranded with the Quarterback
Page 12
“Yes.” Ivy took the pizza from him and handed him the twenty-dollar bill on her front table. “Thanks.”
“No problem, ma’am.” He saluted—actually saluted her—and turned to leave. Disgust coated her insides.
“Ma’am.” She was only thirty-one-years-old. She wasn’t a ma’am. Was she? “It doesn’t matter,” she told herself as she took her food into the kitchen. “He was way too young for you.”
Something beeped from her computer, and she turned toward it. The machine sat just outside of the kitchen, back toward the front door. Another beep sounded, and a box popped up as she watched.
“Oh, holy starfish,” she said, abandoning the food as she sprinted back to the computer.
She’d sent her message to Mason Martin when she’d been startled by the pizza delivery guy. And he was responding. With pictures.
He had dark hair and dark eyes, and he looked downright good enough to eat. His broad shoulders met Ivy’s requirements, and she could only imagine what he’d look like out on an island with his shirt off.
“He’s handsome,” she murmured as another image came up. Another box ticked. Rich. Good-looking. So he wasn’t Quasimodo. Hopefully, he wouldn’t be the Beast either.
Most people want to see what I look like, he’d typed. That’s me. Mason Martin. I’m 35.
Are you from the island? Ivy typed into the box, all thoughts of eating now gone, because this man was checking her dating requirement boxes faster than she could think of what they were.
