Akira burst into laughter after hearing his story.

"What are you, Raymond? Like eleven?"

"I don't know why I said that. Probably I just wanted to hurt him, make him feel jealous".

"You have turned me into a weapon", said Akira and laughed.

"Of mass destruction, I must add", Raymond said and chuckled.

"Come now, let's go down. Let's face our fears together", saying that she pulled him and took him down.

It was time.

They were supposed to leave for the airport now.

Mike and Simon took an Uber and started.

Akira took Raymond's car and she was herself driving him to the airport because she wanted to be with him till the last stretch that was possible.

She parked the car and he took out his bag and they silently walked towards the Departures. The silence between them was their way of understanding each other, He took out his passport and tickets and then looking at her he said,

"Tomorrow I will be busy the whole day, so take care of my company".

"What?"

"You forgot? You are the owner now".

"We all will be glued to the broadcast. Do you even think anyone will work?"

"That's your job to make sure that it happens", he said and smiled.

"You are speaking like you are going on a month-long hiatus", Akira said and rolled her eyes.

Then she opened her bag and took out something and placed it in Raymond's hand.

"He will keep you safe".

He looked at the small idol statue that she had placed in his hands.

"He is the 'VIGHNAHARTA', the remover of all obstacles and dangers that might come your way".

"I know", he said and lightly smiled.

"How do you know?"

"You forgot? When I had the stab wound, you had placed him next to me. You were so bothered for me back then", saying that he lightly brushed his fingers on her cheeks.

"Keep him close to you. Promise me that".

"I will", he said and looked at her. Her eyes were slowly swarming with water.

"Hey, you know right I am going for just one night ?"

"I know", Akira said and giggled.

"I have no control over them. They just see you and want to rush out", Akira said and wiped her tears.

He looked at her face, the tears in her eyes and the old memories flooded his head. She was crying like this the first time they had met. Just that this time she was crying for him.

He smiled and then wiped the tears off her face and said,

"I think we have a connection with airports. It makes me fall in love with you all over again".

Saying that he dropped his bag and pulled her close.

His hands were in her hair and his lips were in her mouth searching her, stripping her from sanity and her from the ability to even think.

Her chest rose as she filled herself with all the feelings of him and touched him.

His hand slowly slid down traversing her neck and rested on her chest.

She squirmed and bit him hard, but that sort of energized him even more. Without a care of who was watching them, he deepened the kiss and his tongue probed deeper. They had immersed themselves so much in each other that they now tasted the same.

His hand slowly glided on the curvatures of her chest and then wrapped itself around her waist, pulling her closer and tighter. His lips had moved away from her lips and had targetted the corners of her neck.

Unable to resist her urges she moaned and it was then that Raymond realized his folly.

"I am sorry, I took it too far", he said and detached himself.

He saw her all deprived of breath and her strawberry flavored lip balm, which she had donned earlier was now non-existent. He took his thumb and wiped her lips and said,

"I will see you soon", and saying that he went inside.

Akira stood there, looking at him and suddenly a strange feeling started to grip her.

What is with all these random vibes !!!
