Summer in China
Part III: Leonardo Makes His Move
By: Michelle
Venus returned home with a new outlook on her future. It felt good to talk to someone else about her mixed up emotions. As she opened the door, Leonardo rushed to her.
"Where have you been?"
It was obvious that he was worried. "I was just out." She looked into his eyes; he wanted a better explanation than that. "I was out talking to one of the villagers."
"You were talking to one of the villagers?"
From the tone in his voice, she could tell he did not approve. "Yes Leo, I was. It's OK. She was a nice lady." In the corner of her eye, Venus saw Splinter smiling at her from where he was meditating. She looked Leo directly in his eyes, "Her name is Mai Li. She was a former student of my master. I felt no evil in her."
Leo's tone softened down, "I trust your judgment. You just can never tell with humans."
"I know Leo." She smiled at him and walked in her room. Leo follow her and shut the door behind them. She turned to him confused, "What is it?"
"I wanted to know if you want to have lunch at the dock?"
"Yeah, I'll go see if the others want to go too."
"NO" He grabbed her hand as she prepared to open the door. He saw the confusion on her face. "I mean, just us two."
She smiled to herself. He was asking her out. "OK." Her heart raced. Leo asked her out and she said yes. At that moment, she felt like she was floating in the clouds.
**********************************************************************
Leo brought a picnic basket packed full of sandwiches and fruits. Together they sat on a blanket and ate. At least, she ate. He was to busy daydreaming about their future.
After they finished eating, they sat and talked. In the middle of listening to Venus talk about when she was younger, Leo decided to make his first move. As she told him about the lessons her master would teach her, he began to move closer to her. He gazed at her with awe. She stopped talking and began to ask him what was wrong, but the words did not make it out of her mouth. He kissed her lips, pulled away an inch, and then leaned to kiss her again. Caught up in the moment, Leo placed his hand on her hip and slipped his tongue in her mouth.
Shocked at his move, she pushed him from her. "I...I think it is time to head back." She began to feel uneasy. She did not know what to do. She wanted to continue with the kiss, but she panicked. She looked at Leo and could tell he was the one really feeling uneasy.
They stood up and began their walk home in silence.
