Rediscoveries
Chapter 3 – Coffee
She leaned idly back on the rolling chair, letting out a sigh of desperation as she threw her hands in the air. "I give up!"
"You're not trying hard enough. Coffee break?"
Kagome eyed her colleague across the cubical partitions, noticing the smirk playing upon the brunette's features. "No amount of coffee will make these numbers make sense. Something's missing, it's not adding up."
The brunette groaned, having worked beside the girl for the past year, she came to know when to recognize determination shielding behind false statements of surrender. "Every time I hear you say you 'give up', you end up figuring it out after a few long nights and coffee. So, I'm asking again, Starbucks or Tully's?"
The exhausted raven-haired girl contemplated her statement, and then gave in to the smirking question. "Starbucks."
"Get up, I'm not your coffee runner, Kags" the girl replied with a raised brow as she stood, wallet already in hand.
Kagome rolled her eyes, shooting the other girl a playful smile before grabbing her purse from the desk drawer. "You know, Sango, one of these days I'm gonna overdose on caffeine and you're gonna feel pretty guilty for supporting my addiction."
"One of these days, I might just feed you a triple espresso and tell you it's decaf."
Sango let out a small laugh at the comical expression on the other girl's face as they both made their way towards the elevators. Pressing the call button for the lower floors, the brunette looked back to Kagome as she asked her next question.
"So, your usual high-strung self that comes with quarter-end reporting seems pretty at ease today. What's up? Did you finally get laid?"
This time, Sango had to choke back laughter at the sight of the glare given by her blushing co-worker.
