"I'll try not to next time."
Turning back to her painting she pulled out a different color and stopped looking at it when he asked about the quote. "I haven't gotten that far yet. I'm not really sure what I want yet. I was either thinking something about smiling or just a you can do it for classes." Looking over at him, "What do you think?" Maybe he would have a good new quote she hadn't used before. After doing this for so long, she was starting to run out.
She was caught... oh gosh, he knew she was staring. This made her go so red in the face. "Sorry, sorry, I was just... I mean.. you.. " Wow this was so ridiculous. Why couldn't she form words and why couldn't she just act normal, she was 17 not 7 for Merlin's sake. Boys should not do this to her still, she should have control over this. "I didn't mean to stare, you are just... nicetolookat." She started to gather her things, because she was needing to leave before she said anything else.
Somehow Drew doubted that she would, Chloe was far too shy and unsure of herself. He would let it go though for now anyway. Instead he focused his attention back onto her painting, it really was good and the colours appeared to pop out from the canvas.
"How about, 'Flowers are like friends; they bring colour to your world."
Merlin!! Why was she apologising. Didn't she realise that the way she was looking at him was a total compliment, well that is how he saw it anyway especially when she made the next comment. Drew smiled broadly, he definitely liked the fact that she was honest also.
"Hey, hey, hey." He said softly, grabbing hold of her hand to stop her from leaving.
"You don't get to say that I am nice looking and then run away."
He moved closer to her and with his free hand, placed a finger under her chin and tipped her face up so that she was looking at him again.
"I like when pretty girls pay me compliments." What guy didn't?
"Tell me what else you like."
