“Wow,” I whisper. I take a breath and hold it there as blood fills my cheeks. “Okay, then.” I turn into the hallway. “I guess I’ll see you around.”
Drew steps forward. “Heidi…”
“Don’t,” I say, holding up a hand. “This is okay.”
“It is?”
I smile, letting the warm pleasantness of the thought overtake the dreadful parts of it. “Well, we’ve been friends for less than a day and I’m already up a hundred bucks, so…” I shrug. “Yeah, I think it’s a good start.”
Drew laughs. “All right.”
I let my gaze slide down his glistening bare chest again. “See you Thursday,” I say.
“See you Thursday,” he repeats.
I step out into the hallway, then spin back around again. “Now, when you say a little skin, is that, like… above the waist skin or… below?”
Drew raises a brow. “Above,” he says.
“Great!” I say, stepping back again. “I was just checking. Bye.”
I escape down the hall before I get the chance to say anything stupid.
“Your syllabus says you don’t start full figure drawings until October.”
I freeze by the stairs and turn around. Drew stands in his doorway with one arm on the frame and a diabolic smirk on his mouth.
“Really?” I squeak.
“Yup.”
“And you…” I swallow. “You’re going to model for that, too?”
He nods. “Thinking about it.”
“Great!” I give a thumbs up. “That’s just… great.”
“Unless you have a problem with it.”
“No!” I wave a hand before casually putting it on my hip. “There’s no problem. What’s a little below the waist skin between friends? I mean, you… you live in a frat. You know what I’m talking about, right?”
He squints, amused.
I shift awkwardly, trying to figure out the correct way to bow out of this gracefully as my face melts off. “Bye,” I say.
“Bye, Heidi!”
I hustle down the stairs as quickly as I can, but I feel his eyes on me the entire time.
CHAPTER 14
DREW
“Oh, baby…”
“Jenna.”
“No, I get it now. I see what you like about him.”
