Joćo stared at her for a moment, blinking. "Did I say something to hurt you, Louisa?" he asked softly. Yeah, he wanted an answer.
So she was returning back to Leaky... he could come, as well, no? Would that be pressing his luck too much? Considering she needed some time, plus he didn't want to look desperate; he decided that he would not follow. Instead, he'd do...
"I'll just check the rest of the carnival." He shrugged. Not that it intrigued him much, but he didn't have much to do. He smiled at her too, almost a grin. "How can one not have a great day when they have a pretty girl beside?" Really, she was clever, fun, and friendly... to a bearable extent, not too much. She was also beautiful--a perfect combination.
He nodded as their capsule touched the ground. Offering the operating man a smile, he waited for her go get off before he did, because it was only polite to do so.
"We should meet, yes," he said as they were both out now. "I'll write to you, yes?" Write the time and date, that is. Now, he took that as a 'I want to move on with you'. So she was interested in seeing him again; she just couldn't expressed it out loud. Good. That was a relief.
Taking a step towards her, he smiled. "I had fun today," he said, looking into her beautiful eyes for a moment. Then, without giving it much thought, he placed one hand on her cheek and kissed the other. "Obrigado--meaning thanks." He let his hand fall, expecting her to say her goodbyes too before seperating their ways.
Hurt her? No. Not in a way she was aware of, "
You did not. I just thought you took insult when I asked for more time or not," She shrugged a shoulder again, "
That's all right." Really, she didn't get hurt. Not the way she was when Dallin held Ellie's hand. Not even close.
Louisa giggled at the pretty girl comment, "
Thanks. I don't know if I have to believe it too much but.." She calmed down and looked back at him as boldly as never before, "
..I like it when you say it," It was great to have someone giving you all this attention and appreciation. Even if her heart wasn't fluttering the way it did with Dal's eyes on her, she was to take this chance.
And speaking of fluttering heart, his hand was on her cheek, which burnt at once, and his lips touched the other one. Her body went stiff as he thanked her and then dropped his hand. She swallowed and stared at him for a moment before realizing how big her smile was. "
Wow. I didn't-" expect that, but she didn't continue because it was too stupid to say so she faked a cough and then pondered over kissing his cheek or not.
"
Thank you, too. And I umm.. will wait for your owl," She nervously took a step closer and hugged him briefly while standing on her tiptoes. Yeah, she'd never kissed a boy on the cheek like that... and she might do that but not now. She needed to calm her heart down a bit. And get rid of this silly blush.
