Emerald green eyes stared back at her. Perfect nose. Lips that curled
into a smile. Ivory white teeth glistening. Jet black hair carefully
pulled back into a pony tail. Black body-hugging long sleeved shirt.
Megumi swallowed hard.
"Is there anything you want in particular?" He carefully put down the chubby cat.
"Miss....?"
Silence.
"Want in particular?" A voice in her head echoed loudly.
Megumi? Where are you? Please come back.
Reality check. Check. Check.
"Hai." She had to knock herself silly for this. Get down to what she came for. This is not the time to be.....mesmerized.....taken.....want....
What the hell, Megumi?! Stop it now!
She took her backpack across the table. Opened it and pulled out her organizer. She pulled out a small piece of paper and handed it to him.
"This is correct." He gave it back to her.
"I was told that I could find what I was looking for in this place."
"Well, as you can see....you can pick anything here that you like. Though I must suggest you would look terrific with a bouquet of pink roses." He winked.
Please stop. Her mind pleaded. Anything more from those lips....anymore.....no more...please....
"I am actually looking for someone in particular."
"Really?" He pulled his chair closer to her.
Uh-oh!
"Anou....are you the only one who works here? I mean, the people I asked told me that there are like four of you who minds the shop." Megumi tried so hard to relax. "Five."
"Well, they keep forgetting Momoe-chan." He smiled again.
"Who?" Megumi was stupefied.
"She's the old lady. She minds the shop when we're out. But for now, I'm on duty." He added lazily.
"Where are the others?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"Anou...gomen! I did not mean to pry or anything..." Megumi sounded more confused.
The young man stood up and walked to the counter then went back to his seat.
"Do you mind if I smoked?"
"No. Not at all." She waved at him.
He smiled and proceeded to light up.
"I believe we haven't properly introduced ourselves. Boku wa Kudou Yoji desu." He smiled confidently and extended his hand.
The feel of his hand covered her small hand. His hand was warm. She could not help noticing the blue ring on his finger. His fingertips were narrow and long. Amazing! How she could observe such a beautiful hand.
Yoji. Now how in the world can I ever forget that?
"And you are..?" He smiled again only this time it looked naughtier.
"Megumi." She smiled back.
"Kawaii, ne?" He whispered.
I am dead. Did he just say that? I must be dead by now. I like to scream!!!
"Actually, I came by because I was looking for a guy who happens to be working here too. His names is...."
Megumi swallowed hard.

Silence.
