Secret Artist Boy

I was looking for a pen in Marcus’s desk drawer today when I found this sketchbook tucked under some papers. Naturally I opened it (privacy what privacy we live together now) and found like twenty drawings of ME.

Not gonna lie, I got a little emotional seeing myself through his eyes. There’s one of me reading on the couch, another of me laughing at something on TV, even one of me sleeping with my hair all messy. When did he even draw these? How did I not notice?

The evidence

Of course when I confronted him about it he got all embarrassed and started explaining how he’s been “practicing figure drawing” and I was “available” and “a good subject.” Sure Marcus. Just admit you think I’m pretty enough to draw forty-seven times.

Caught

The boy has been holding out on me - these are actually really good. Maybe I should start charging him modeling fees.
