Leon's footsteps rush to leave the company building owned by his father. In the lyrics the watch on his wrist while clucking a few times. In half an hour Arumi will be home and he is still in the company lobby with formal clothes still attached to his body.
The man immediately pulled out the phone from his suit pocket. Look around for Zack's name there and call his best friend. Once connected, Leon immediately expressed what he wanted without further ado.
"You remember the restaurant you bought pizza from yesterday ?" Leon hurriedly opened the car door with a cell phone he had stuck to his ear with his right hand.
"Yes. Why is it ?"
"Get me my fine clothes in 20 minutes." Said Leon who had started the car engine.
"What ? You think I'm superman can fly there in that short amount of time ?"
"I don't care how you get there, Zack. Just do what I say if you're my best friend."
Zack's protesting voice from across the street was still heard but he did not care about Leon. The handsome man simply threw his phone into the passenger seat beside him without closing his call. Just let Zack turn it off. The most important thing now is, she has to arrive early before Arumi comes home or the Asian girl will run away from her again.

"You've been a long time, Zack !" Grumpy Leon who has been waiting for Zack for 5 minutes but feels like 5 years.
"You still ask ? I even left my car and chose to ride the bike here just for you, Leon." Zack who feels victimized is even he who is blamed.
"Where are my clothes ? I have to change before Arumi goes out." Leon said in a hurry as he grabbed the paper bag in Zack's hand and then ran into the restaurant toilet to change clothes.
Zack who was left just stunned in disbelief. Since when did Leon who is famous for being so abrupt just because of a woman he had not known for long ?
"Thank you guys ! Pray that my date will be successful." Leon was so enthusiastic. The handsome man patted Zack on the shoulder before rushing out of the restaurant. His old clothes he gave to Zack to be brought home by his friend.
"Leon, wait !" Prevent Zack.
Leon stop. He looked up with eyebrows raised in wonder. "What's up ?"
" Do you know what you're doing ?" Ask Zack full of meaning that Leon can not understand.
"I mean ?" The handsome man tilted his head.
Zack breathed in slowly. Leon's best friend seemed a little uneasy to tell Leon what was inside his head.
" About Arumi. What do you want from that girl, Leon ?" Zack's voice sounded so heavy and serious.
The excitement that was clearly very visible to Leon slowly faded. The young man's eyes flickered in confusion. What does he want from Arumi ? Of course love. Aren't they ?
"Why are you asking about it, Zack ?"
"Remember my advice in Moorea ? That girl's a good girl. Please, don't give him hope if you already know what's going to happen."
Leon swallowed roundly his wrath. Zack's words are true that he will only give a wound to Arumi someday. But what can Leon do ? The man already loved and wanted the taste to remain even for a little while. Think of it, as the most beautiful memories before he drowned in the endless void when wading through the unhappy household ark with Claire later.
Leon just wants to taste happiness even though for a while it will hurt him and Arumi one day. He didn't want to think about it first. All he wanted to think about was to make himself happy without feeling restrained and free from the shadow of the father. And of course the happiness he feels now because of Arumi in his flat and empty life.
"Is Leon crazy ?" Zack's murmured softly barely audible. The man ruffled his hair in frustration at the mere thought of Leon's first move out of the path Duke Xander had created for him.

" Are you here ?" Arumi smiled in surprise when she saw Leon who ran over to her with two paper cups of coffee in his hand.
"For you." Leon hands one glass to Arumi.
The girl accepted it with pleasure. Ever since Leon took her to Paris disneyland yesterday, the girl has slowly begun to forget the tension she once had with the handsome man. His feelings are now much more receptive to Leon's existence even though doubt still lingers. He doubted that the relationship they were in would last a long time. Whether it's friendship or romance.
"Why are you here again ?" Arumi asked with both hands holding the coffee that Leon had given her.
"Isn't our date still 4 days away ?"
Arumi nodded with a smile. Looks like, this time Leon will really keep his promise.
"So where are we today ?"
" Jardin du Luxembourg."
The Jardin du Luxembourg or Luxembourg garden was originally created by Marie de' Medici, widow of King Henry IV in 1612. Famous for its amazingly beautiful garden beauty, luxembourg Park is one of the most attractive destinations in the city of Paris and is the park most wanted to visit by Arumi but unfortunately has never been delivered because Charlie is still busy with his lectures.
Of course being in this park immediately makes Arumi's smile inflate perfectly. The girl's eyes slowly closed with her head looking up. Inhale it in the fresh air from around the park that looks beautiful and soothing. Arumi can release fatigue as much as the cool afternoon breeze accompanies.
"You like it ?" Leon asked, forcing Arumi to reopen her closed beautiful eyes.
"Very. Again I thank you for taking me to such a pleasant place." The girl smiled sincerely. Giving a wave of vibration that immediately stung Leon's heart until the beat faster and irregular.
"We're going more often to places like this, Aru. I promise." Lirih Leon is as pure as heart. His fingers suddenly grasped Arumi's small fingers that suddenly made the girl gasp in shock.
"Your hands are so small, Aru !" Leon joked. He compared the size of his palm to Arumi's which of course did have a far different size.
"Your hands are great." Sahut Arumi chuckled.
"It's okay. I like it when your fingers are this small."
"Why ?"
Leon's initially open hand again linked his fingers with Arumi's fingers. In his hand tightly held the asian girl's fingers then gave him a kiss long enough on the back of his hand.
"Because I can hold it tight like this without fear of letting go."
Arumi begins to sink into a brown bead belonging to the brunette-haired handsome man beside her. The man successfully touched the deepest part in Arumi's heart and made the girl feel truly wanted. Something, which he had never gotten from an Irgi Antonio when he was the wife of the man even for two years.
