Chapter 6

Amon personally escorted her to her office when they came back from Lunch.

She continued to work the rest of the afternoon.

Amon did the same. Amon worked the rest of the day and lost track of time. He finally looked up at the clock and noticed that it was 4:00 already. His secretary tapped at his door and peeked in to wave goodnight. Amon told her to keep his door open. He wanted to see if can catch a glimpse of Robin when she leaves. Amon did not have to wait long. He saw her walking towards the elevator in deep conversation with a fellow intern just 2 years older. He could tell this boy was enjoying the attention Robin was giving him. Amon somehow felt a pinged of jealousy. He instantly reprimanded himself, why would he get jealous of a mere 20-year-old intern that looked like a geek. It bothered him that maybe Robin liked boys like that. Not overly flashy and but very intellectually looking. He was also probably as poor as Robin judging from his attire. Robin could not help sneak a peek towards Amon's door since it was wide open. Her eyes instantly met hers as if he was waiting for her to glance over.

"Excuse me Michael, why don't you go ahead" Robin had told him

"Oh, yes of course" Michael croaked back. He saw the direction Robin was looking at. He entered the elevator. He wished Robin looked at him as she looks at Mr. Masawi. He knew had no chance with her. She was the first beautiful girl that actually really befriended him and he noticed that she was interested in someone he obviously cannot compete with.

Amon straightened up when he saw Robin going towards his office door. He sat there like a dog in heat waiting for an opportunity to pounce on Robin.

"Hello Amon" "Staying late tonight?"

"Yes, I got some catching up to do since I played hooky this morning"

"Would you like to come over for dinner tonight, with me and my grandfather" Robin asked shyly. "I'm cooking some steaks and pasta" Robin tried enticing him

"Um, sure why not" Amon did not need any encouragement. He liked spending time with Father Juliano and he like the fact that he will have a homemade meal.

Amon grew up eating at restaurants. None of his girlfriends ever cooked for him. They were all useless socialites that would rather eat out. He knew if he was ever lucky enough to marry Robin, that she would cook him meals everyday.

Robin hurried out to go to the local food mart so she can make a special meal for Amon. She has 2 hours to prepare it and try to look nice at the same time.

Father Juliano was please to see how happy Robin was that Amon was going to have dinner with them. She was in the kitchen slaving away. Robin lost track of time and jump towards her room when she heard the doorbell. She quickly took a shower and put a fresh pair pants and shirt. Her hair was damp but it would have to do. She peaked out to see Father Juliano and Amon chuckling together about something. She noticed Amon was in a casual khaki pant and just a plain black T-shirt that fitted him quite nicely. She could tell that underneath the shirt that he has a nice body. She sighed, Amon was really nice to look at, and she can probably stay here and watch him all night.

She finally came out. "Hello Amon, she bowed to him in front of her grandfather" Amon smiled at her.

"Excuse me, I will set the table so we can eat" she informed them

Amon ate like a pig. He hardly talked and was busy trying out everything Robin had cooked. He was genuinely satisfied after the meal.

"Robin, your amazing" "You have talent of a chef" Amon had complimented.

"Thank you" she smiled to herself knowing that she scored brownie points.

She cleared the table and washed the dishes while Amon and her grandfather resumed their conversation. When she was done, she came into the room and took a seat right next to Amon so she can watch TV. She noticed how close he was to her.

"Robin" he turned towards her "Would you like to catch a movie?"

Robin did not answer right away; she thought she heard wrong or she was having a daydream attack. Amon asked her again; this time he moved his face closer to hers.

"Robin" "Do you want to see a movie?"

"UH" she looked at her grandfather for approval. She noticed the big smile on his face and the big nod he was giving her.

"Robin, please answer the man, it is rude to keep a gentleman waiting"

"Sorry, Amon. Of course I want to see a movie with you... right?" She questioned him still thinking she might be mistaken.

"Well let's go" Amon stood up and bowed to her grandfather

"Have a good time, Robin don't worry about getting in late"

"Yes, grandfather" Robin stood up, she felt giddy

"Can we walk to the theater?" It is only a couple of blocks away and it is a nice night out.

"Sure, why not" Amon agreed

Robin loved to walk. They were in the heart of the downtown district and she loved peeking in the windows of all the fancy shops. The building they worked in connected to a huge mall and a movie theater. She never went into the mall and they would have to go through it to get to the Movie Theater.

There walk was a quiet one and they were both content in not having to talk. Robin would look at the shops they pass by. Amon just walked with her leisurely pace. Robin looked at everything with such interest and wonder. She was like a baby seeing life with such innocence. Amon knew he was well on his way with falling in love with her. He wished the gap in their age difference were closer. It was not uncommon for a guy as rich and powerful, as he is to have a younger woman. It was very common practice. However, Robin was still innocent and probably does not see him in the way he sees her.

He glanced down at her. He had ask Father Juliano if he can ask Robin out. Father Juliano had approved. Father Juliano had faith that Amon would never use Robin. He heard of Amon's reputation with women but he somehow knew that it he would not treat her like them. Amon told him that he would never hurt Robin intentionally.

They arrived in the mall. Robin was awed. There must be at least a hundred stores in the mall. Her eyes wandered everywhere. Amon gently grabbed her hand to pull her in the direction of the theater. She started blushing at the close physical contact. They were in front of the theater and he turned to her.

"Robin, what would you like to watch?" She was trying to remember some of the commercials on TV. "Spiderman 2" She whispered Amon smiled down at her "of course"

Amon went to get her snacks while she waited for him off the side.

She was looking around when she heard a familiar voice.

"Robin, is that you" She looked up to see Dojima and behind her was Sakaki. Sakaki redden when he saw Robin.

"Hi Dojima, Mr. Sakaki" Robin acknowledged them

"Are you here by yourself" "or perhaps with a boyfriend" Dojima arched her eyebrow and smiled at Robin

"I'm with..." Robin did not finish her sentence when she saw Amon walking towards them. Amon handed Robin her soda and candy bar.

"Sakaki, Dojima" Amon acknowledge them

"Come Robin... the movie is about to begin" Amon grabbed her wrist as Robin gave an apologetic smile to the two lovers

"I'll see you guys later"

Dojima turned to Sakaki "Ugh! Amon is such a rude bastard. How can you kiss his ass every day?"

"Dojima, you just have to get use to it. He isn't the most pleasant man but he is very partial and when you get on his good side, he is quite giving"

"He bailed me out of a some of the ugliest situations without making me feel any obligations to repay him in anyway."

"What do you make out of that whole scene?" Dojima inquired

"I don't know, I've seen the women Amon have gone out with and I know he would never take them out to a movie. Maybe, it is all-innocent between the two. He probably is just showing Robin around town since she is new here and she really had not had a chance to make any friends. He is probably baby sitting her" Sakaki had rationalized to Dojima

"Hmmm. I guess." Dojima shrugged "Lets go and watch our movie"

Robin and Amon found a seat towards the back. "Knowing Dojima, she will be gossiping about this at work tomorrow" Amon had told her

"Amon, the office thinks I'm some sort of relative, besides Dojima is not malicious like that" Robin replied

Amon chuckled "Wow, Father Juliano was right. You believe there is goodness in everyone"

Robin pouted her lips and looked up at Amon "What's wrong with that?" she challenged

Amon wanted to bend over and give her kiss at that moment but the lights dimmed and the movie started. Amon whispered into Robin's ears, "I never said anything was wrong"

Before Robin could reply, Amon put his finger on her lips and shushed her. She gave him an angry glare and Amon just chuckled.

Robin started to smile. Amon was just teasing her. She sat back and leaned her head nearer towards his shoulders and Amon proceeded to move closer to her so their arms were touching. Robin likes being with Amon. She was never around many men but he made her feel comfortable.

The movie was full of action and romance. She liked it. This was the first time she ever seen a movie, in such a big screen. The movie was loud and a couple of times had startled her.

After the movie was over, they headed out into the mall. They strolled around the mall. Amon had taken her hand and was holding it while they walked. She smiled to herself. Maybe he is afraid he will loose me in the mall. She thought to herself. It was nearing 9:00 o'clock and the nightlife in Tokyo was just starting. They were many people still walking around in and out of the mall. Tokyo was lively city that never sleeps. Robin noticed an ice cream shop and unconsciously stirred towards that direction.

"Amon, I want some ice-cream" she glanced up at him with a shy smile

She would never dream of asking so boldly for something. It was her weakness; she loved chocolate chip cookie doe or mocha. Coffee and Ice- cream were her passion.

"Ice-cream sounds good Robin, Good call"

They both sat down near a fountain to eat their ice cream. Amon had gotten a shake while Robin had two large scoops on a waffle cone. The ice cream looked so big in her tiny hand.

"Amon, do you go out like this every night?" Robin asked him

"No, I usually go out to Harry's for dinner and a drink or I go to the gym to work out or to the local Do-jang to spar and sometimes my nights are busy because I entertain my business associates. I also travel a lot to prospect new business. I own some beach resorts along the south end of Japan and occasionally I travel there to make sure that everything is running fine" Amon had told her

"Wow, you actual own resorts on the beach. That must be fun" Robin commented

"Well, maybe on my next visit to a resort, you can come with me. But I warn you, it would be at least a 3 day weekend" Amon told her. Robin looked at him with excitement in her eyes

"I would love to go, I remember going to the beach when I was young, it was so much fun"

Amon looked at Robin, he felt bad that she never got a chance to experience just the little joys of life that he took for granted. He could easily give her the world at her feet if she asked. However, she was not like his other girl friends that expected him to always throw money their way. Robin was not hard to satisfy. She was always so thankful. Amon looked at his watch. It was nearing 10:00 o'clock already.

"Come Robin, We better head back" he told her

Robin did not want their moment together to end. She sighed loudly when she got up. Amon gave her an amused look.

"Don't worry Robin, this will not be the last time you will be out. When you start going to school, you will meet so many other kids and you will do many fun things that girls your age do" Amon assured her

"But I like being with you." she innocently told him.

A smile crept up his lips. "The feeling is mutual,"

They strolled back toward her house. She turned to face Amon when they reached her porch. They both stood there and just stared at each other. An awkward silence feel between them. Amon made the first move. He took hold of Robins chin and he bent down and gave her the softest kiss on her mouth. He whispered in her ear a goodnight and left toward his car. Robin watched him go with dreamy eyes. His kiss was so light. Robin walked in her house. She was thankful her grandfather was not awake. She wanted to cherish the moment to herself. It her first kiss even though it was innocent. Next time she would be ready for it.

Amon scurried back to the safety of his car. It took all of his control to be a gentleman to Robin. He felt so dirty. The things that went through his head while kissing her. He was a grown man, not exposed to virginal relationships. He knew Robin would not just go to bed with him or beg for sex like some of the women he dated. He chuckled aloud at the thought of Robin turning him down and giving him every excuse not to lay with him.
