...she didn't know his parents were never married, did she? He guessed not only her, but no one did. And they didn't really have to.
"My mother works in Brazil." Enough of an explanation? He hoped so. He had other matters at hand to adress--such as this unexpected invitation of Dallin. Didn't he have a girlfriend already?! Didn't he know that Louisa fancied him in the past? Why was he tempting a girl now, when she had already had a boyfriend--and she seemed happy with it?! That boy, he needed a hexing too, but too bad he and Joćo had never met. And now, who was Joćo to deprive her of going to that far, far away land Florida where--
He was going to teach her how to surf. They were going to sleep on hammocks. They were going to build a sand castle together. HE WAS GOING TO BE IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH HER!
Take a deep breath in... you can still win over.
With a genuine smile on his face as if he was also delighted with her plans, he said "Wow, you have that one week full." One week, all alone, with an activity such as 'teaching how to surf'. Stupid Muggle inventions. They let people too close. "Well, you know... Florida and Brazil is only, what, 4 hours by plane. Why don't you spend as much time as you wish there with me? We can stay all the summer and I can show you wherever you want in Brazil, from Amazons to Rio de Janeiro, the festival city--everywhere." This was the first time he invited someone to his house to stay for free... and certainly the first time he offered his services especially to a girl.
That Dallin boy was on his black list now.
Her heart skipped a beat, the way it always did, when his lips touched her forehead. A try was all she wanted, anyway. Louisa smiled at him and wrapped her hands around his arm snuggling closer to him.
"
It must be really sad that your parents don't meet that much then." Louisa did not understand how a wife stayed so far from her husband and for so long. "
You must be missing her a lot." Looking up at him to search his face features for any unexpressed emotion. He was that kind of guy and she grew used to that - he didn't express all of his emotions freely, he'd hesitate or just shrug. It was only the things revolving her that got him emotional. And that made her happy and even more attached to him.
Full week! Louisa giggled, "
Yeah, I'm going to wear him out. He didn't seem to mind all those plans, let's just hope his family is okay with that." Since she was staying over there and had to follow the rules of the house. "
He said his parents were cool, though. We wouldn't have curfews or anything." Louisa's grin was very wide at this, "
He's of age, you know." YAY magic would be involved in their summer vacation.
Then Joćo was talking...
...INVITINGHEROVER!
Louisa pulled away from him to look directly into his eyes, propping herself up on the seat while sitting on her knees. She paused for a few seconds scanning his face for any joke or prank. Nope, there was none because he was Joćo, he was always serious.
Then she let herself react. The fifteen years old slapped her hands on her mouth and squeaaaaaaaled, "
MERLIN! You're inviting me to Brazil?" She threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing his cheek in the process. "
That'd be so freakin' great!" Still holding on to his neck, suffocating him probably. WHO WOULDN'T? Last summer, Louisa didn't even dream of going to Liverpool, let alone to Florida and then to Brazil! With Dallin AND Joćo.
That wasn't a dream, was it?
