Lines, he really hated them.
'Why does this Sesshomaru always end up standing in front of the person who has no idea what the meaning of personal space is?' Sesshomaru mentally huffed to himself. He was in no mood to stand waiting around for a cup of coffee in the middle of the day when there was work to be done! 'The first thing this Sesshomaru does when he gets back to his office will be ordering a new coffee machine and sending for another secretary!' He briefly wondered if he should have fired his secretary after she had made his coffee run then mentally shoved that ridiculous notion aside with a scoff.
All of a sudden, he was brought out of his mental mutterings when a loud "Sir!" was heard. 'Who dares interrupt…' was all he could muster as he looked up and met the most striking blue that he had ever seen before he lost himself.
When he regained his bearings he focused and found himself staring into the face a girl, no, a young woman. He couldn't stop himself from admiring her heart shaped face, big blue doe eyes and the way her lips formed the slight pout of her mouth. He then realized that those luscious lips were moving and he cursed himself for losing focus.
"Are you alright sir?" the angel behind the counter asked.
"Indeed," he replied while he mentally kicked himself.
"May I take your order?"
"A large coffee, black. That will be all."
"Alright that will be $6-50."
With that Sesshomaru handed over a $10 bill and as she reached over to take the note her dainty fingers brushed his, a shiver ran down his spine. He moved his gaze to her face to see if he had possibly imagined the sensation and noticed that her cheeks had slightly pinked. 'Interesting' he thought with a smirk.
He watched her fumble around with the cash register as she entered the amount 'She is rather cute with that blush on her face' he thought and found himself wanting to smile at the adorable female.
"Here is your slip and your change."
Sesshomaru took the slip from her, "You may keep the change."
"Thank-you and enjoy the rest of your day sir!"
"And to you" he replied and walked towards the pick-up counter to retrieve his coffee. 'Kagome' he thought to himself 'her nametag read Kagome. Perhaps this Sesshomaru will re-visit this establishment tomorrow. I wonder how much farther down her blush goes…' With that thought, Sesshomaru took his coffee, glanced back towards the still blushing Kagome and then walked out into the bustling street with a rather attractive smirk working its way onto on his handsome face.
Maybe his day wasn't so bad after all…
