She gave him a smile when he said that he liked her for a while as well. "Wow. This is.." She searched for a few words that could describe what she felt but all she came up with was, "amazing."
"That actually sounds good." Alex felt relieved that he didn't have a clue about any of this either. At least, she didn't feel awkward about the whole thing anymore. Um. So, this was going to be a little embarrassing. "Uh. You know, I've never really.." Oh gosh. She felt stupid. Really stupid. "you know, been in a relationship before." Alex muttered. Gosh, she couldn't believe that she actually said that aloud. How embarrassing.
Alex laughed. "Do you want to wait for the prize or do you want to check out other games?"
Damon gave her a smile as Alex seemed to struggle to find the right words. He could tell that she was getting shy, which was causing her to speak a lot softer. Damon leaned down a bit so it would be easier to hear over all the bustle around them. Once she was finished Damon leaned back up, surprise on his face.
"Never? Someone as nice, pretty, and smart as you? Well...that doesn't make any sense." Damon didn't really understand how people could be so oblivious to someone as good as Alex.
Damon placed his hands on either side of her shoulders so that she'd look at him.
"That doesn't bother me," Damon said with a little grin.
"Every relationship is different and unique to the people involved in it, so we're free to take the whole thing at whatever pace we want to." Damon was just a teen during his first real relationship, but it had last three years, and the break-up was...well...it had not been pretty. His fault for dating a muggle that was closed minded, but that was done with so no need to bring up old memories.
Damon turned to look at the game.
"Maybe we should just move on. The carnie didn't see me do it so they might think I cheated or something anyway," Damon said with a little laugh.
"What game would you like to play next?" he asked, taking a step so that he was next to Alex before reaching down and taking hold of her hand. He hoped she didn't mind....
