Eyebrows

For the past three seconds, Kagome stammered her words—trying to make up something that wouldn't make herself sound like person without morals. So far, she has effectively bored and annoyed him. That she was sure from his uninterested raised eyebrow.

"Out with it," his cool voice shut her up immediately, making her rethink her words.

"I… uh…," she continues to stammer, unable to conjure words to say to the oddly handsome and cold stranger in front of her. "Ugh!" She groaned in frustration, defeated by her unwired brain. She hung her head low; her bangs nearly touched the rim of her cup of cappuccino.

Gosh darn it.

"Listen," he demanded.

She peaked through her bangs to only see him with his legs crossed and arms neatly folded in his chest staring at her with a bored expression… and with a raised eyebrow.

'Gosh, doesn't he ever let his eyebrow rest?' She grinned, amused by the very notion. Every time she glances at his face, his eyebrow was raised in such an elegant and sarcastic manner. She was amused enough to start giggling in her seat. Her hands flew up to cover her quivering lips in hopes of muffling her laughter. No use. As if to encourage her further, his other eyebrow lifted up just as high as his other one, questioning her.

Needless to say, Kagome laughed merrily in her seat. She watched through happy, teary eyes as he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion momentarily only to have them arch again at her laughter.

Her contagious, joyous laughter filled the café as onlookers giggled silently to their own company. They didn't know what the situation was about, but certainly Kagome's cheery laughter lifted the spirits of all around. And yet, one creature just stared at her incredulously, eyebrows all now furrowed and lips pulled tight.

"What?" he barked with mild irritation.

Kagome laughed and pointed at her own eyebrows and started to wiggle and mimic his facial expressions to help convey her message. Certainly, she looked like a total fool—but she was enjoying herself. She watched his lips twitch at her ministrations. Just as his lips had formed the tiniest smile, it disappeared and replaced by an unsatisfied frown.

Her laughter soon subsided from his ominous silence. Now, she felt rather childish and embarrassed at lack of control of her emotions. Her lips twitched into a small smile, her eyes sympathetic and she opened her mouth to speak. "Come on now," she gingerly coaxed. "It doesn't hurt to smile a little you know?"

Again, his eyebrow raised in the most sarcastic manner. It took almost everything in Kagome's power not to burst out in full laughter, so a small smile donned her lips.

"We will meet here tomorrow, same time." He removed himself from the chair and headed for the door without waiting for a response from Kagome.

"W-wait!" Kagome feared she had offended him.

He heard her plea and he stopped under the frame of the door, he slowly spun on his heels to face her and most of the customers and employees of the café. His face was expressionless, his lips parted to say, "Not even one minute late."

Suddenly, without a warning, his lips tilted up magnificently into a smile. A smile so dazzling and handsome, it stopped the hearts of all that witnessed it. A smile so beautiful, Kagome's body grew warm and heart sped up like a freight train racing down the railroad tracks. She fell down onto her seat with a plop.

She was dazed. Amazed. Stunned.

The man with the dazzling smile left the café instantly, and she failed to see the smug smirk on his face as he entered his car.
