We've moved on to the next day!
I repeat! It is the next day!
Kijani just looked at Connor, completely silent. There was a look in her eyes, somehow unreadable. Love, and pain and fear, all at the same time. She couldn't speak, and just dropped her gaze to her lap. There was a curiously large lump in her throat, and she couldn't find any words until he spoke of something else. "Well, yes... I know that much. Just as someone can have lovely eyes, someone can have a specific knowledge on a topic. But still, intelligence is much more varied and much less subjective." She smiled and quickly went back to her milkshake, trying to force her sadness deep, deep down.ConnorConnor seemed pensive for a moment, before saying, "By your own logic then, I consider you amazing, because you are to me. And that's all that matters, isn't it? You are funny, and smart, and brilliant, and yes, you are attractive. I know several times you have thought something along the lines off I'm such a mess, why do you like me?. and the simple answer is...I am constantly amazed by the things you say, entranced by the things you do, you're easy to be with, and when we are together long enough, I hope that one day, you see yourself the way I do" He didn't look away from her. Then he just simply continued, and said "There is a way to tell how smart a person is, yet it doesn't take into considered the different types of smarts"
Kijani let out a very unfeminine snort, and covered her mouth as she started to laugh. "Amazing. Let's go with that, yes." For once, she didn't seem like she was going to argue the point. "I'm different, I suppose. I mean, beauty is one of those things that's very personal. Some people wouldn't find me attractive, I know." There was a faint smirk on her face, and a hint of her old cocky pride. "Their loss, of course, but it doesn't diminish my own loveliness. You can quantify brilliance, though. There is a way to tell how smart a person is."Connorreally damn good looking It made Connor laugh. Always the unexpected. He never figured to have any girl like him for his mind. But that was Kijani. He watched her, his expression happy. His eyes were bright, and this time, he didn't blush. He just watched her. As if he simply couldn't believe his luck. "you're amazing." He said, in that genuine tone of his, full of warmth.
Of all the reactions Connor expected, the chocolatelty kiss wasn't one. But that was one of the things he enjoyed about Kijani. She never reached the way he thought. The have it considered cute, sexy was just...an amazement for Connor. Most people would think nerd, geek. Know it all, and brush Connor off. But kijani? She never ceased to amaze him. He knew that he blushed as well, but he didn't look away from Kijani. "I like knowing things. And I like that you find it sexy." again, that shy smile. He just couldn't see to help it.Kijani smiled warmly at Connor, her gold eyes full of delight. "I like a man with a sharp mind. People can fake good looks, with makeup and good clothes. You can fake being smart, but it will only work with someone less intelligent than you." She gave him a flirtatious gaze across the table, her fingertip winding her dreadlock into a corkscrew curl. "Honestly, it's just a complete bonus that you're also really damn good looking."
It is incredibly adorable, I love it. Which is why I make Connor do it. It helps he's based on a real person too. Connor is just....perfection to me. I'm glad I chose him for this. Fun note, the real life person he's based on told me the lemon fact.*thumbs up* I love Connor to pieces. ^_^ So does Kijani, even though she's really horrible at showing it.
