Model Undercover Quotes

“This is the only place I know that is really safe. You need a key to get in and you have to live on the square to have one. Sorry about all this…” We sat on the first bench we came to.”

“Help! At the time everyone asked me about what I could see, but not about what I could hear. I’m so, so tired. And the nightmares don’t stop. Help me.”

“I watched as he slowly slipped his jacket back on. And, can I just say, he looked gorgeous. Standing in front of me, torso bare and bathed in moonlight, I couldn’t take my eyes off him.”

“Well, there is something quite romantic about being saved by a good-looking detective, at night, under the moonlight, don’t you think?” He stopped talking as he watched me aim the first thwack. “Of course, most romantic would be if you could just get me free without breaking my ankles.”

“He leaned into me quickly and kissed me on the cheek.”

“We finally pulled apart and stood gazing at each other – or rather, Sebastian gazed at me; I was too fidgety, and couldn’t hold his stare. The night was bright; the high moonlight overhead illuminated the houses and church on my street with a pale silver light as we stood in the shadows thrown by the rose bushes that grow like wild-haired sentries on either side of my gate.”

“At first it was a bit uncomfortable standing outside my house with him – saying goodbye in person and saying goodbye on Skype are two very different scenarios – and we were more used to Skype. But finally Sebastian stepped forward and gently ran his finger down the side of my face, cupped my chin in his hand, and gave me that look. I nearly melted under his touch. He slowly ran his hands down my sides until they settled around my waist, then leaned into me and kissed me hard. This, I thought as I felt his lips move over mine, is what it should be like to be with someone – so much better than lots of wishful thinking over a cold computer screen. Even though I really, really liked Sebastian, I didn’t like how little time we spent together, and how that made both of us upset. Have you ever spent three months apart from the person you like? And is it possible to stay together with someone when you know that you’ll only ever get to see them for a few days every couple of months at best? I got depressed just thinking about it.”

“Of course I wasn’t immune to the way his grey-blue eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled at me from across the table, or how his tousled light brown hair looked totally touchable…then again, a case is a case – and, romance aside, it was time to get cracking. “Actually, Watson, someone came to see me this morning…”

“At least one thing would never change, no matter the distance between us, I thought ruefully: our mutual love of a good burger and hot fries. “Absolutely, Watson, follow me.”

“He had that kind of effect on me. After a long hug, he pulled back and gently pushed my hair behind my ears as he smiled at me in that slow, tender way he has. “I’ve missed you, Holmes,” he said. But I didn’t get a chance to answer him back because his hand suddenly dropped from my face as if it was a hot coal and his eyes darted to something behind me. “Why, Sebastian! How lovely to see you!” Of course. It was my mum.”

“And suddenly it was as if time and distance had never intervened. Sebastian reached out and pulled me to him.”

“He stood at the top of our steps, just as tall, broad-shouldered, and biker-boy cute as I remembered, hair tousled, leather jacket on, smiling at me. And although there was a bit of shuffling around and eyeing each other as I invited him in (FYI: seeing the person you fancy like mad for the first time after months apart is weird), soon enough, we were standing face-to-face, close enough that I could smell him.”
