I look at Airi again, and then it hits me. The felling that Sam gets whenever he looks at Emily. Imprinting, I have finally done it. I was getting worried, everyone in the pack has except for little Seth. I zone out just looking at her, memorizing the planes of her face, how her gentle red hair flows over her shoulders.
"Jake?"
"Hu, what?" I ask being pulled back down to earth.
"I said Airi is moving in with us, her parents just died in a car accident."
I look over at Airi who is looking at the ground with the saddest look on her face. I pull her into to a hug stroking her hair as she starts to cry on my shoulder. "It is going to be ok, look now I can take care of you now; I can finally repay you for what how you helped me all those years ago."
After Airi stopped crying I showed her to the spare room in the house that once belong to one of my sisters. "Is this ok?" I ask her.
"Anything is fine… umm" she looks over at me nervously.
"Is there something you would like to ask?"
"Well I was wondering, umm… Are there any good shops around here? I sold a lot of my clothing before I came here." She said looking at she sheepishly.
"Well why would you do that?"
"I needed the money." She said looking at the ground again.
"There are a few little stores in town," pulling her chin up so she had to look at me, "would you like to shop after you settle in? We can have dinner in town too, would you like that?"
She just nodded, and walked into the bathroom, probably so she could fix her make up that go mess up from crying. Seeing her like this, I just want to make her happy again, to make her forget all the stuff that she has gone through. She deserves that, and more.
After Airi freshened herself up, her and I headed into town. We shopped for a couple of hours, and I think she enjoyed herself. Then I took her to a little sushi place that Seth had recommended. It was a really nice little restaurant, and I learned that Airi really liked sushi, who knew.
"So you had fun to day?" I asked her as we walked back to the car.
"Ya it was fun." She said trying to be enthusiastic, but there was something in her voice that didn't sound too right.
"Airi, what's wrong?" I asked as I stopped walking.
"Our stupid waitress ruined the whole dinner!"
"How?" I looked at her confused.
"Did you not see that? The whole entire time she was flirting with you!"
"She was? Haha wow I didn't notice, maybe cause the whole time I was looking at your beautiful face." I said as I made her look up at me.
"Really?" She said with a wondering look in her eyes.
Then she smiled at me, and my heart melted. I never want to be separated from her ever, good thing she is living with me.
"So tomorrow we will sign you up for school, ok?"
"That sounds fun, as long as I get to be with you." She said smiling as she grabbed my hand. If I had a tail right now, it would so be wagging.
