Science...For Her! (50 page)

Megan Amram

is a fun, flirty young woman living in Los Angeles, California. Credentials include a BA in medicinal fashion from DeVry and a BMI that was in the “unhealthily underweight” range for one day after a stomach flu. She dated her “ex”-boyfriend Xander for three years before he broke up with her, but she’s pretty sure they’re gonna get back together pretty much ASAP because they have each other’s names tattooed on their wrists so legally they have to be together, it’s a double-jeopardy thing. Before working at NASA she was funemployed (unemployed in a cute jumper).

Xander Mince

is a five-foot eleven, green-eyed, rich-businessman love of Megan’s life. One of his eyes is a little wonky but whatevs, his dick is basically the size and girth of an ocean buoy so his ex Megan is not complaining. He’s great at sex and his dong was literally a million miles long. After he and Megan broke up a couple weeks ago due to this so-called NASA “debacle” he told Megan he was going to move somewhere far away enough that he couldn’t smell her “stench of ignorance,” but Megan knows he’s still living in Los Angeles because she drives by his house a lot and honks until he threatens to call the cops but they’d never catch me, I mean Megan.
