Chapter 8 Departure

Airi was shocked and couldn't say anything, her gaze was cast downwards and her heart was beating rapidly against her chest. She quickly took a glance into his eyes, seeing light green forest eyes starring intensly back at her. She quickly averted her eyes her gaze to the ground.

'What should I say to him?! I couldn't possibly be… No! Of course not!' She firmly thought.

She slowly lifted her eyes to gaze at Aram's questioning face and softly whispered, " You're my boss…Its just not right…it can't happen.."

All of a sudden Lei interupted, "Mr. Aram you have a phone call."

Aram nodded and Lei left. Aram stared at Airi in the eyes, with a feirce, burning determination that no one could shake, "I believe it can." And with that he left, Airi standing there alone.

Arams POV

'Was that a little too blunt? No, I was simply speaking my mind. But, why did I say that? Jeez, this is too confuzing. Mabye doing some work will clear my mind…'

'It can never happen…' She thought to herself and climbed up the stairs to her room.

A week went by and every morning Raz would go with Aram to his study for hours at a time talking about a buisness deal. For that week Airi's life was extremly uneventful. Everyday was the same routine, doing her housework, eating, and sleeping. It was not fun for her at all, until something interesting happened

Back in Aram's study office Aram and Raz firmly shook each others hands, wrapping up the deal.

"Thank you for your timeMr. Razuldo, I look forward to our progress in the future."

Raz nodded and handed Aram some last files and started heading down the stairs. Aram called after him, "Your flight will be leaving soon so I suggest you start packing so you wont be late."

Raz heard what he said but he only acknowleged him with a nod. His eyes were focused on Airi, who was dusting some furniture. Raz was so focused on Airi he did not notice Aram calling to him. Aram finally shook his shoulder and snapped Raz out of his daze,
"Hey Raz, are you ok?" Raz cleared his throat and pulled his eyes away from Airi to Aram, "Yes, of course. I will start packing now." With that Raz brisquely left leavingnan utmost confused Aram.

'Ok you can do it Airi,only a few more things to dust!' As she thought to herself, Lei interrupted her train of thought.

"Ahem!" Lei coughed.

Airi looked at Lei, "Oh, uh, hi…I was just about to finish up, really…"

Lei cut her off, "No matter, Mr. Razuldo is about to go to the airport to go back to Japan. So I need you to help him carry his luggage outside. Now, stop standing there useless, and get to it."

'Wait, why is he leaving' Airi grabbed his suitacases and hurried outside only to see Aram saying goodbye to Raz in a black. Sleek, limousine.

"Wait! Your things!" She shouted breathlessly while running down the front steps to the limo. She gave the chaffeur the suitcase while gasping for breath. She walked over to the window that Raz was behind and tapped on it/ The window rolled down and she saw big midnight blue eyes staring back at her. Airi took a step closer to him and leaned closer saying, "Leaving so soon Raz?"

Raz smirked, "Now I know you will miss me.." He winked and continued, "But, yes I have things to do in Japan and the buisness I needed to take care of here is finished."

Airi rolled her eyes at his first comment and said, "Well, I guess I will miss you, but you know, just a little."She added a laugh and continued, "Bye then, keep in touch."

Raz looked away from Airi to Aram and noticed he was staring at the two very closely. He reached his arm behind Airis head and brought her closer. He leaned in and lightly kissed her on the forehead and whispereed, "Bye Airi." He let go and the limo drove off. Airi touched her forehead and limply and said, "Why did he do that?! Crazy dude." Airi shook her head and just stared at the road, knowing she would miss turned to see Aram and noticed he was wearing dark jeans and a rolled up sleeved dark plum collared shirt with a shiny black tie. She stared at his sun brown hair moving softly in the wind, but what struck her most was his deep forest green eyes. Airi suddenly looked away, remembering the last time they talked.

'What am I going to do and say? I should just walk away quickly, right now!' So Airi walked past him, keeping her eyes on the ground. Airi looked over her shoulder, now quite some distance from Aram and saw him running towards her. She walked quicker through the doors and into the living room and Aram shouted, "Wait, Airi!"

Airi didn't turned around and stared at him but kept walking bakwards, "What Aram?! What so you want…?"

"Airi! Watch out!" Aram aced for her but it was too fell backwards onto the couch and Aram fell on top her with only his hands to support him from crushing her. Airi's eyes were clenched shut from the fall. She opened her eyes slowly after realizing she wasn't falling anymore to see Aram looking down at her, smiling. Airi glanced at their position and blushed.

Aram laughed and said, "I was going to tell you to watch out for the couch but you wouldn't listen."

Airi pouted, "But I…"

"Nope! You are not going to interrupt me. I have two things to tell you. First, why did Raz kiss you." He glared and then said, "And second what are you doing for the next two weeks? I have to ask you to do something but you have to promise to do it!"

Airi contemplated what he said and curiousity overwhelmed her, "Ok..well I honestly don't know why he kissed me and the next two weeks im doing the same thin I have done since I have been here but my boss, you, should know for sure and what did you want me to do for you?"

Aram replied, "Well I don't like you hanging out with him. And I don't have any work for the next two weeks so I was wondering if you wanted to spend some time with me."

Airi stared at him, "Well, I think that would be fun but I do have work to do and I don't want to slack off."

"Listen, you can still work, but think of it as a break. Im your boss and I am telling you that you no longer have a choice in the matter."

"Alright, I think it does sound fun. Are you going to get off of me now?" Airi said with a heavy blush. Aram bent down and kissed her on the forehead. Airi's eyes widened and Aram said, "Now we're even." Aram then propped himself up and walked down the hall. Airi sighed and rested on the couch staring up at the ceiling with a small smile on her lips.

Raz was in his private jet headed back to Japan. He was sitting on a plush chair and in his lap was a cylinder shaped plastic container. Raz opened it and took out the rolled up piece of paper. He rolled it open gently as if it was a fragile leaf. It was his painting of Airi sitting on her stool with a painting brush in her hand, only a few inches away from her easel. Her head was tilted to the side with a thoughtful expression. The beast part was the smuge of paint on her cheek. Even dirty she still was beautiful. He had a flashback of his departure and smiled. "That silly little girl."

He lighlty touched his painting and looked out the window searching for something in the vast sky of irridesent clouds knowing he would never find it.
