Chapter 7
The next couple of days, Robin has gotten used to working there. Every morning she would get good morning e-mail from Amon. Amon was busy the rest of the week with board meetings and out of town clients. He saw Robin only in passing. Occasionally, they would talk to each other by e-mail. She would e- mail Amon with her observance of office politics and he would burst out loud laughing. His secretary had noticed that Amon had been in a better mood since Robin started working here. She had manage to humanize the impenetrable armor that Amon had built around himself. She noticed that he always bought Robin a fresh cup of coffee from Starbucks every morning.
It was the last day of the week. Everyone was busy on Fridays. By 4:00, Robin started cleaning and straightening up her work so she can go home. She heard a light tap at her door and she turned around to find Amon.
"Hi" She beamed at him.
"What are you doing tonight? Amon had asked
"I was going to cook Grandpa dinner and then watch a scary movie on TV" she informed him
"After you cook dinner for Father Juliano, get dress and I will take you out to dinner" Amon told her That's if you want" Amon added.
"Yes, that sounds good" Robin nodded excitedly.
They proceeded to walk out together. "Would 8:00 be okay?" Amon asked
Robin nodded.
She noticed Miho, Touko, and Sakaki waiting for the elevator. Amon muttered under his breath so only she can hear "Oh great, the Three Musketeers"
Robin couldn't help but smile. Touko was the first to greet them
"Hey Amon, leaving for the day?"
Amon didn't reply.
"Do you want to join us at Harry's for some drinks" Sakaki had asked him
"No." Amon replied.
"How about you Robin?'' Sakaki asked
"Thanks, but I have to run home and prepare dinner for my grandfather"
Touko scrunched her nose and replied sarcastically "How fun"
Robin disregarded her sarcasm. The elevator arrived and they all started to pile in. Amon grabbed Robins hand and pulled her back . The other elevator had opened up and was empty. Amon pointed towards it. "Come Robin lets take this one"
Robin waved good bye with her free hand to the three as Amon proceeded to take her in the other elevator. The three co-workers looked at them with shock in their eye.
Both doors closed. "I can't believe what Amon just did" Touko shook her head in disbelief
"What do you think that was all about" she asked
"Apparently Amon doesn't want to ride the elevator with us" Sakaki replied
"Are you stupid" Touko glared at him "He wanted to be with Robin alone, Stupid"
Miho cut in "Ok KIDS no more. Lets enjoy a nice round of drinks together and maybe we will all be drunk enough for Karaoke tonight"
Amon and Robin parted ways when they got out of the building. Amon lived across the street from the office. Robin started her walk towards the house. She quickly got home and started fixing dinner. She told her Grandfather that Amon will take her out to dinner. Her grandfather told her that he would be at Bingo night at the church anyway. Her Grandfather was always busy at night with church functions that left them to only to have dinner together. In the weekends, her grandfather was busy with church ceremonies. She was beginning to worry about her grandfather. He was always going to the doctors for appointments. He took many pills she thought.
She was left to fend for herself most of the time. She would go visit the local hospitals and volunteer her time to help. Sometimes she would go to the orphanage to help with the kids. She loved kids. She did not really socialize and did anything else. She took her bath. She was busy looking in her closet for something to where. "She had nothing" "She had dress she wore at Christmas but it was childish looking. Next week when she gets paid, she will have to go shopping. She heard the doorbell ring. She looked up at the clock; it was only 7:00. She knew her grandfather had left already. It must be one of the Sisters from the convent looking for grandfather.
She opened the door and it was Amon holding a couple of boxes. Amon looked at her standing there with her bathrobe on and her hair damped. Robin quickly hid herself behind the door. "Come on in Amon, let me throw on some clothes" Robin went flying in her room. What is he doing here; I have an hour she thought. She threw on some sweats and came out.
"I thought I had an hour" She looked at him accusingly
"You do, here" Amon handed her the box
"For me" She took it out of his hand and opened it up. She took out an evening dress. It was black and shorter in length then she would usually wear... but it was beautiful.
"Amon, I can wear this tonight" She beamed at him.
"Yes, I figured you really don't have many clothes" "Maybe tomorrow I will take you shopping" Amon offered
"I can't go shopping until next week" Robin informed him
Amon arched his eyebrow questionably "why not"
"I don't get paid until next week...remember" she told him
"Robin, pay attention to what I just said. I will take you shopping. That means I pay" Amon told her
Robin was about to protest when he cut her off "You have only a couple minutes to get dress, the clock is ticking" He reminded her.
Robin dropped the subject she took the dress and stood up. She knew better than to argue with Amon. Amon was one of those men that needed to have the final say in everything. She crossed over to where Amon was sitting. She kneeled down in front of him so they can be eye level. Amon gulped down the air that was stuck in his throat. What the hell is she up to, he thought. Robin put the dress down and gently touched the sides of Amon's face with her tiny hands. She leaned forward and gave Amon a kiss on his cheeks "Thank you, Amon" She whispered in his ears. Before Amon could react. She quickly stood up, grabbed her dress, and headed toward her room. Amon's cheeks started burning. Robin walked in her room with a victorious smile, she saw the shock look on Amon's face, and she had managed to make him blush.
The dress fitted her nicely. It showed her feminine curve. She fixed her hair and wore it straight and off her face. She wore the slightest bit of make up. She came out and Amon looked up at her. Amon eyes widened with satisfaction. He knew she would be stunning in the dress.
Amon walked toward her and grabbed both of her hands. He looked up and down at her with a smile.
"You are beautiful Ms. Sena" He complimented her
Robin blushed. "Thank you"
He handed an evening purse, a pair of shoes, and two more boxes. Amon was good at guessing Robin's size. He managed to guess it right.
Robin stared at them. "What is in the boxes?" she inquired.
"Just open it" Amon asked her
Robin fumbled first box open. It was a polish thin necklace of white gold and a one-carat diamond pendant. The other box was a set of earrings that match. Robin looked up at Amon and was speechless. She was hoping they were not real because she would be too nervous to lose them.
"Amon, did you go shopping after work for all this?" "It's all too much" Robin looked at him
"No, I went yesterday" He told her.
"I should just wear a sign saying thank you Amon" she told him
Amon and her burst out laughing, little did Robin know Amon spent at least her year's salary on her jewelry alone. She probably didn't have any idea that her dress and shoes were all designer clothing from exclusive shops.
They left out of the house. They walk to Amon's black Ferari. He gunned up the engine and drove away to the restaurant. The restaurant was a very expensive haughty restaurant. Amon was a frequent guest. He never needed reservation. They were seated right away. She leaned over to Amon.
"Can you order for me, I like seafood and pasta" She told him. Amon nodded
They were in the midst of Japan's richest socialites. Everyone in the room was important. Robin felt out place and Amon knew it.
"Robin, after dinner, we will go to the Opera ok" He told her Robin's face lit up
"Really, I love the opera"
"Good, so do I" he agreed they were enjoying their dinner silently.
"Well, Well, Well" She heard a high-pitched female voice
Robin looked up to see a beautiful tall slim but curvy female. She had long dark hair and piercing blue eyes. Very red lips. It occurred to Robin that this girl was the same girl she had seen in many of Dojima's fashion magazines. Dojima would let Robin borrow them at lunchtime when she ate at the cafeteria.
She laid her hands on the shoulder of Amon's chair and looked at down at him alluringly.
"Amon, it's nice to see you out, you're looking mighty fine" She eyed him
She turned to Robin and asked Amon "Who's the little girl Amon"
Amon flinched and glared at her, but he managed to remain in control. He will not let Cherry ruin his evening.
"Robin Sena, this Cherry Maru. She is an acquaintance of mine"
"That's a nice description of our relationship" Cherry had arched an eyebrow. Robin nodded to her. A nice looking gentleman appeared next to Cherry. He acknowledges Amon in traditional Japanese fashion.
"Amon, how nice to see you again." He greeted
"Robin, this is Sonny Chibo, a childhood friend" Sonny gave an appreciative look towards Robin.
"Robin, is an intern for my company. Father Juliano's grand daughter" Amon mentioned to Sonny
"Quite lovely, I know your Grandfather. He is an important pillar of society here in Tokyo"
Sonny knew Amon from childhood and both of them ran around the same circles together. Sonny was a good-looking man. He had soft brown hair and nice puppy brown eyes. He was not as stunning as Amon, but he still turned girls heads. He was rich and a rising political figure in Japan. He kept friendly ties with Amon so he can move up the social enchalon. He just started dating Cherry. He knew the past between his girlfriend and Amon. He knew Cherry was in love with Amon, but he did not care. He came to a realization that all women always fell for Amon. He looked at Robin, yes very beautiful he thought. She had an aura of innocence and pureness. A complete end of a pendulum.
He grabbed Cherry's elbow and gave it a little squeeze "We must get going, nice to meet you Robin. Amon, I will set up a meeting with you about the cherry blossom festival" He mentioned
"Hai" Amon nodded to them
Sonny led Cherry away from the table. He gave her a warning glare when she was about to protest.
"Was she a ex girlfriend of yours?" Robin asked him innocently
Amon was speechless; he really could not deny it.
"Sort of, it was nothing serious" he told her
"She is a stunning" Robin complimented her
"I guess" Amon added
"Do you have a current girlfriend?" Robin questioned him.
She tried to be non-chalant with her prying question. Deep down she was prepping herself up to be disappointed. Amon eyed her.
"Of course not Robin"
"One more question then" a smile crept on her lips Amon nodded to her
"Are you taking me out only out of obligation to my grandfather" Robin's fingers were crossed awaiting Amon's answer
"No Robin. I am taking you out like this in hopes that you might start liking me" Amon surprised her
"Oh, so you don't think I'm too young for you" Robin looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"Unfortunately, Our age difference does bother me. I am much more experienced than you when it comes to relationships"
"Your right, I had no past relationship" She admitted "In fact yesterday was the first time I was ever kissed. As innocent as it was" Amon smiled at her.
He wanted himself to be the first experience for everything to Robin. "Robin, I won't rush you into anything. I genuinely like spending time with you" Amon told her
Robin nodded to him. At least she knows now that he had a romantic interest in her. To her Amon was perfect. She did not care of the age or experience difference. She was eighteen and is already maturing sexually. Sex was never discussed in the convent. She knew only about sex by watching movies that she was not suppose to on TV. However, she knew her body reacted everytime she thought of Amon. She thought to herself that she could not be a virgin forever. Now a days sex was not taboo to society. It was common for couples to have sex before marriage.
The opera was great. She cried towards the end. It was a love story with tragic ending. They made their way out. It was already late and they headed towards her house. Amon walked her out to her front porch. She stood there stiff and she did not move. She was hoping Amon would give her a kiss again.
He faced her "Tomorrow, will you be busy?"
"No" Robin answered right away. "I will pick you up around noon, we will go shopping and I will take you to my family estate outside of town. We can go horseback riding"
"Ok" Robin replied
He grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Robin moved closer as Amon bent down to give her an innocent kiss on her lips. Robin grew bold and pulled Amon back to her when he was about to leave. Robin was fighting the rebellion that was battling in her head. Should she be that good catholic girl and walk away. In the end, she felt oddly enough to fight the urge to be always good. This is her chance to start becoming a regular woman. She wanted to know what girls her age knew about sex. She tiptoed up to him and leaned forward and gently whispered just a few inches from his lips "Can I have a real kiss" She asked boldly
Amon took a gulp and was completely shock at Robin's request. He was about to explain to Robin why he could not kiss her that way but he also lost his battle to be a gentleman. He gave in to his desires. Amon bent over and grabs the side of her face and proceeded to kiss her again. This time Amon pried Robin's mouth open with his tongue. He glided his tongue into her mouth. He made contact with her inexperience tongue. Robin felt the excitement shoot down on her body. She started feeling herself warm up. The new sensation was driving her crazy. She moved herself closer to Amon so she can have a deeper kiss. Amon had wrapped his arms around her little waste to pull her closer. He can feel his loin stiffening up. He wondered if Robin can feel it too since her belly was pressed up against him. She let out a small moan when Amon started kissing her neck and ears. He finally made his way back onto her lips, gave her a final kiss, and broke away. He looked into her eyes. Her eyes could temp him to lose his control all together but then he realize where they were.
"I better get going" He explained to her "afterall we are on church grounds" he whispered in her ears. She gave him one of her famous pouting expression.
She sighed loudly "I guess. I will see you tomorrow" He gave her one last kiss on her forehead and then headed towards his car.
Robin could not sleep that night. She wanted to be held by Amon. She dreamed about him in an unladylike way. She woke up the next morning and headed to church. She was going make sure she goes into confession to unburden the guilt she felt with all her naughty thoughts.
