11:11 Excerpt

“All right.” I open the sketchpad, leaning my back against the couch. “Just let me know if you need me to get naked so you get the proportions of everything correct.”
She stares at me a moment, processing what I said. “Reid!”
I laugh. “Sorry, I had to. But if you ever need a nude model for your personal art endeavors, I’m your guy.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Her eyes shift away from me, like she’s afraid if she looks at me I’ll find some sort of answer there.
I smirk. “You’ve already drawn me.” It’s a statement, not a question, because I know in my gut it’s true.
“I … no.”
But the way she says no sounds like a lie.
I snap my fingers. “You have. What did you draw?”
Curiosity is getting the best of me. I want to know what about me, my body, attracts her the most.
“Reid,” she pleads, closing her eyes.
“I want to know.” I’m begging now, but I don’t care. “Please.”
She inhales a deep breath, tapping her fingers on her jean-covered thighs. “Your forearms.” Her eyes drift to said forearms. “Your hands. Lips. The dimple in your cheek. Just … you.”
And I know she might not mean it this way, but on the inside, I rejoice because in my mind this tells me she likes all of me.
