Two weeks have passed as Leo had been busy with his brothers patrolling their beloved city as several Purple Dragons were causing some trouble which was taken care of quickly. Though for the two weeks since the great leader saved Mia, she has been on his mind since. Even with that small kiss on his cheek, Leo felt excitement run through his which he kept under wraps from his brothers. Though he did still hated the fact he lied to brother about his night but also to his father. He grunted as he trained with his blades as he moved harder to try and relieve his anger to what he had done but he wanted Mia to not be in any danger. That or his brothers ganging up on her with tons of questions and invading her personal space. April may be okay with it now but if Mia had met them Leo didn't wouldn't know if she would be okay with three, nearly seven foot, turtles in her living room. Sighing, Leo placed his blades on his back as he went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. Chugging back three glasses of water, Leo made a grumbling sound from the back of his thought as he still felt some pent up energy.
"Donnie!" Leo called as his brother as genius brother looked up from his computer. "I'm going out for a run be back in a few hours."
"Okay!" Donnie waved as he went back to working on his computer.
Leo made his way to the surface as he began running from roof top to roof top at top speed.
Sitting in her mocha papasan chair bowl with a cobalt papasan blue cushion as she sat with her sketch book as Mia was working on a tattoo design for one of her customers. The man wanted something for his daughter whom was battling Breast Cancer for the past few years and wasn't doing too well. He wanted all her favorite things which was pink peony flowers, mermaids, pieces of candy, butterflies, and some jewels. He wanted it all in his daughter favorite colors which was mostly pink with blues and purples. Quinlan was going to do the tattooing but he had some trouble trying to get everything in place so he asked Mia for help. She had made several designs for the man to pick from as it was going to be a pretty big piece that was going on his chest. Sleeping near her lap was her sweet Siamese cat Misty who didn't have any eyes but Mia still loved her. As Mia was sketching she looked up to see Cherry all dressed up to go out as she had been dating some high end Chef at some restaurant he owned.
"Going out again?" Mia asked as this was the fourth time Cherry went out this week.
"Yep, Louie is taking me to see War Paint on Broadway," Cherry said as she placed her cell in her rose glittering clutch.
"You hate Broadway," Mia was confused as her best friend would rather see a bloody cage fight than sit through any musical.
"That's true but I really like him so I will be okay with going to see some show on Broadway, I'll bring you back a souvenir. Love you," Cherry replied as she walked out the door.
Mia shook her head with a smile as she went back to her notebook until she heard a thud outside on her balcony. Looking up as she glanced at the stain glass doors as she felt suspicious. Placing her sketch book down and making sure Misty doesn't fall, Mia walked over to doors as she opened then and walked out. Looking around as she saw no one until she heard the metal of the escape ladder rattled a little that led up to the roof. Raising an eyebrow as she started to climb slowly up to the room. When Mia reached the top she was surprised to see the one person whom saved her two weeks ago which made her smile.
"Leo," Mia softly said his name as it gave him chills down his spine.
Leo looked a bit embarrassed as knew it was stupid of him to visit her but even as he run his legs brought him to the Upper West Side so he decided to see if she was okay. Seeing her climb up onto the rooftop wearing black silk night shorts with a large, blue oversize long-sleeved shirt with some mermaid design on the front with the park of the shirt falling off her left shoulder. Her dark brown hair pulle dup into a messy ponytail, with blue glasses resting on her nose. Oh just seeing this made his heart race as she looked stunning to Leo.
"What are you doing here?" Mia asked as she walked over to him as he looked a bit nervous but tried to keep calm.
"I was just in the area and," Leo spoke as he felt his voice crack to cough in his hand to clear his throat. "And just thought to see how you were doing?"
Mia gave a soft smile that made his cheeks heat up, "I'm doing better, thank you for checking up on me."
"No- no problem," Leo stuttered for a second as he cleared his throat again looking around trying to act casual.
Mia chuckled as she could see that he was nervous as she moved around watching where her step since she hadn't any shoes on to sit on the edge of the roof. "You don't have to be nervous Leo."
"Nervous? I'm not nervous," Leo spoke quickly trying to shrug it off like it was nothing.
Mia smiled as she tilted her head at him which made him blush as he rubbed the back of his neck, "Okay fine," Leo admitted as he walked over and sat next to Mia. "It's weird talking to a woman without them screaming in fear."
"I knew this city had some weird vigilante going around helping people, knowing the person could look oddly but you look fine to me. Took a second to realize a super strong turtle saved my life was standing in front of me but again I could think if you hadn't. Those horrid men could have raped me, that would be much worse than a body slam to the ground," Mia spoke as it relaxed Leo as his tense muscles relaxed.
"My brothers and I try to make sure we can do our best to protect this city from such crimes so I'm glad I made it in time," Leo replied as he looked to see Mia looking at him.
"Well thank you again, Leo."
Leo nodded as he looked to where her bruise would have been, "Still sore?"
Mia shook her head, "No, not anymore. I went to the doctor that day to make sure nothing was broken as it hurt to breath. Got some medicine and was better in a week in a half. I've been busy with my shop the past few days which has been nice," Mia replied as she pulled her shirt back over her shoulder as a cool breeze passed by.
"Really? What kind of shop you own?" Leo turned to face Mia as she looked up to him.
"I own a tattoo parlor in lower Manhattan few blocks away from the Irving Plaza, the shop is called 'Enchantment Ink'. Pass week I've been booked for several customers to work on their ink and a few new ones as well. I'm currently working on a piece for Quinlan to do for a man but I don't know what sketch to choose, so I've made several different sketches for the man to choose from," Mia replied.
"Can I see?" Leo asked and the words just came out before he could even think.
"Sure," Mia turned as she climb down the fire escape while Leo easily just jumped down on his feet as he followed Mia into her loft.
Leo walked in as he watched Mia grab her large sketch book as she showed him the first sketch as Leo took the book from her as Mia explained, "The man wanted his favorite daughters things she likes as she isn't doing too well. I did four different designs for him to choose from to see what he likes best."
"These are amazing!" Leo was amazed at the design and line work of the art.
"Thank you," Mia went and she sat in her papasan chair as Misty lifted her head and softly meowed letting Mia kiss her head and pet her. "I've noticed you have some art done on your arms? Who did them?"
Leo looked at his then back at Mia returning her book, "I earned them from when I mastered my Chi training; my brother Raphael came up with the designs for each of us."
Mia stood up as she walked over and placed her hands on his arms to look at the design better. Leo's face started to heat up as her hands were super soft against his skin, "They look amazing in the unique detail of tribal with turtle designs to fit in with the art as he did a pretty good job on them." She looked up at him with those soft brownie color eyes.
Leo blushed as he smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, "Thanks."
Mia smiled until he heard a cell ring as Leo dug unto his pants as he pulled his cell out and placed it to his head, "What is it Donnie?"
"Some of the Purple Dragons are robbing some crates at the Docks on the South side of Jersey, where are you?" Donnie asked.
Leo looked at Mia as she turned from her, "I'm in the Upper West Side Don but I'll meet you there." Leo hung up before Donnie could talk then turned back to Mia. "I got to go."
"It's okay Leo, I don't mind beside it was good to see you again," Mia smiled as Leo gave a small smile back.
Leo nodded as he headed out of the before he stopped then walked back inside to Mia, "Um this sound weird but um would it be weird if I could come back?" Leo asked as he was nervous and scared if she said no.
Mia smile big as she nodded, "You can come back anytime Leo."
Leo grinned as he nodded then rushed off and jumped off the ledge as Mia followed him out as she watched him run until she couldn't see him.
