“Girlfriend?” I ask.
Drew slowly sits back. “Uh...”
Jenna grins. “Oh, this is awkward,” she says.
She sits down at the table and props her feet up on the chair across from her to watch.
I stare at Drew. “Am I your girlfriend?” I ask.
Drew looks at me, both of us ignoring Jenna’s eager grin. “Aren’t you?” he asks, his voice pitching higher.
“Am I?”
“Would you like to be?”
“Do you want me to be?”
He shrugs. “I’m not against the idea. Are you?”
“No,” I answer.
Jenna frowns. “Okay, this is more boring than I thought it’d be.”
I smile at Drew all over again. “Are you my boyfriend?” I ask.
He smiles back. “Yeah,” he answers. “I am.”
We kiss, his arms clinging to me even tighter.
“Ugh.” Jenna stands up with disgust. “I’m gonna go watch TV.”
She grabs her drink and stomps off down the hall.
“Not big on romance, is she?” Drew asks.
“Who?” I joke, pathetically lost in his eyes.
Drew shrugs. I laugh as he buries his nose in my side again.
CHAPTER 26
HEIDI
I step out of the bathroom in my tank top and shorts, squeezing my damp hair dry as I stride toward my bedroom. While Drew might have a fetish for maple-scented women, I needed a long, hot shower after my shift.
I enter my room to find Drew standing over my desk. It takes me back to the night we met. Him, strong and casual. Me, freaking the fuck out. Sure, my heart still leaps at the sight of him hanging out in my bedroom, but not in the same way.
Drew taps the drawing on my desk; my latest attempt at hands. “You’re getting good at this,” he says.
I close the door. “Eh.”
“No, really.” He holds his hand above the drawing. “It’s like looking in a mirror.”
“Practice makes perfect, right?”
His eyes drift down my body, giving me goosebumps. Him, strong and casual.
Me, freaking the fuck out.
