I pause, seeing her point. “I like to earn my own money. Is that wrong?”
“No. Of course not.”
“It’s also...” I stop myself before I say too much. “Never mind.”
Heidi arches a brow. “No, what?”
“Forget I said that.”
“What?”
I chuckle, biting my lip. Too late now. “Okay,” I say, setting my chopsticks down. “Modeling in art classes is also a fun way to... pick up girls.”
Thankfully, she laughs. “Is that right?”
“Art school girls, specifically.”
“You like the arty ones, huh?” she teases.
“Yeah,” I say. “They’re fun.”
Heidi looks down, her already pink cheeks darkening another perfect shade. “I think that’s the first time anyone’s ever implied I was fun,” she says.
“Well, they’ve clearly never seen you play beer pong,” I joke.
She chuckles. “It’s a rare sight.”
I find myself staring at her, yet again. Her adorable expressions. Her big, golden eyes; brighter than I’ve ever seen before in my life.
A rare sight indeed.
“You have the most beautiful eyes,” I say.
Heidi pauses. Her breath hitches, but she doesn’t look away. “Thank you,” she squeaks.
I keep staring. I can’t help it. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen ones that golden before. They’re so shiny.”
She blushes a little more. “My mother always used to say they matched my birthstone. Topaz.”
“Topaz,” I repeat. “That’s...?”
“November.”
“That’s soon.”
“Two months away.”
“Better than nine like mine.”
“That’s... June?” she asks, quickly doing the math.
“Yup,” I say.
“What’s the stone for that?”
“I have no idea.”
She laughs, nodding. “I guess guys don’t really care about that, huh?”
