Chapter 90

• Victoria pouted. She obviously had him interested but why wouldn't he act? He wasn't gay as he was clearly becoming excited. Her self-doubt reared its ugly head. Maybe he didn't find her attractive? His smile from before, was it admiring... or was it amused? Her excitement suddenly plummeted. Maybe she was making a fool out of herself as he thought she was too old. He obviously liked Rachel but she had those enormous breasts she was always flaunting.
• She heard a noise and saw Ed coming back towards her holding a large toolbox in front of himself. Her insecurity flared and she stepped forward to block his way.
• "Edward? Do you think I'm ugly? Old?" Once the words were out of her mouth she felt enormously foolish. Like the ugly duckling she'd been all the way through her school years until college when she'd blossomed. All those years of insecurities came rushing back to her. Tears sprung to her eyes and she tried to run past him.
