312 Gasping for air

"Oh my God, How did you do it?"

"You know what, don't tell me. Let it stay awesome in my head", saying that Akira giggled as she locked her arm around him and walked towards the hotel exit where his driver was waiting with his car.

"Fine then I am not telling", Raymond said and opened the car door for Akira and then got in after her.

"To Amaranto please".

Raymond said and then sat back all relaxed in the car while she was still staring at him all amazed.

"So?"

'So what Akira?"

"Oh come on. Tell me. You really think I don't want to know?"

He ruffled her hair with his hands and said,

"I thought so".

"Spill it", said Akira and turned her body towards him like an eager child waiting for the story to be told to her.

Taking a deep breath he looked at her and said,

"After waking up, as I said earlier, I never left you alone to fight your battles."

"What do you mean?"

"I was always there like a shadow, every deal, every project details, every nit bit of the company. I had all the information with me via David".

"Ah that man !!!", sighed Akira.

"What's wrong with him?", chuckled Raymond and asked.

"I thought of him as my friend, philosopher, and guide. He helped in taking each and every small decision when you weren't there. I thought of him as my man. But looks like all the time he was yours".

"Ok, so now are we going to fight over his loyalty?", saying that Raymond laughed and pulled her close and said,

"Till I am alive, till I have even one breath to take, I will always be there for you Akira", and saying that he gave a small kiss on her forehead.

She looked at him for a while, absorbing all that warmth and love and sincerity that was being poured out by his eyes and said,

"Then promise me that you will never leave me alone again and even if you have to, you tell first. Promise that you would tell me first".

Saying that she took out the pinky finger of her right hand in front of him and said,

"Promise me now".

Raymond locked his pinky finger with hers and said,

"I promise".

And then looking into her eyes and taking a deep breath, he said,

"Give me your feet".

"What?", Akira exclaimed hearing to his weird request.

"Give me your feet Akira. How hard is that?", and saying that he bent down and pulled her feet up and made them rest on his lap.

"What are you doing?"

"Giving you an escape from these eggshells".

Saying that he removed her heels one after the other and then slowly caressed her feet.

"Stop it. It tickles".

"What about now?', he asked and ran his fingers on the arch of her foot which his thumb.

When his fingers touched her feet, initially it was all ticklish and she giggled but soon after it became all sensuous, hitting every single nerve of her.

Her face started getting all red and she started to feel all hot down there and everywhere.

He could clearly see her expression change.

The laugh was disappearing from her face and then he saw her chest rising and falling all erratically.

She saw him looking at her with a question mark on his face, so she turned her face to the front, trying to avoid his prying eyes which she knew that for sure, will be able to extract the truth from her eyes.

His eyes were still fixated on her and his thumb moved to graze her other foot and just when he did, he saw her lips parting, gasping for air.
