All rights to their rightful owners,
It's been days since she last walked into this place, the last time wasn't so pleasant. She winced at the memory and tried to brush it off. As she walked up to the counter, the familiar smells hit her all at once. She loved this place, it was like a second home to her. She spent half of her life here, and it was true. When she first moved to Ohio she was alone, she stumbled upon this place during a horrible thunderstorm. The owner, Kaede, brought her inside and gave her a cup of Lavender tea; that was almost ten years ago. She smiled fondly at the memory, she was only six at the time and had to walk home from school when the storm hit. Ever since that day she's been coming here after school just to sit and talk with Kaede and have some of her famous coffee and tea.
"Oi, Kagome It's such a surprise to see ya child! Where have ya been?" Kaede asked as she walked over to the young girl. Kagome smiled brightly, Kaede has always been like a grandmother to her. "I'm sorry Kaede! I had to work some things out before I came back, I didn't want to cause any more trouble than I already have." Kaede shook her head with a small smile upon her lips, "Child, ya could never cause any sort of trouble, ya hear? I'll bring ya your cup. The usual right? Large pumpkin spice Lavender coffee whipped with chocolate shavings?" Kagome smiled and nodded her head, how she missed this place. She sat at the counter and looked around, the shop was two stories. The place didn't get much business and she couldn't figure out why. The outside had vines going up the sides, you could barely make out the old bricks and the tin shudders above the widows. But, when it rained it was heavenly, the rain hitting the tin made her heart fill with warmth. The inside was better, almost like a dream. The walls were wooden, chalk boards in random spots for customers to write on. Next to the counter there was a huge old metal book case that had random old books in it, books that people have gave Kaede over the years. Vines hung down from the top, herbs sat on the top giving the air a fresh feeling. The upstairs was her favorite, there was a huge bay window with beautiful wooden interior around it, the widow had crisp clean clear white curtains. The window seat was a pale blue, small little coffee stains on it here and there. It held so much history and it made Kagome so happy.
Kaede brought the coffee up to her and left with a smile on her lips. She got up and walked up to the window, grabbing a spare blanket out of the wooden chest Kaede had for the cold autumn evenings, Kagome sat there against the cold glass staring out the window watching the rain fall as she took small sips of her coffee. She sighed in bliss, Kaede's coffee always gave her such a warm and fuzzy feeling deep in her soul. It was perfect really, the coffee and watching the rain out the bay window, it gave her such a calm feeling.
"Oi! Bitch," Her head snapped up and she almost laughed, she smiled at him as he walked over to her. "Oi! Jerk, how are you?" He sat down across from her, shrugging his leather jacket off and onto the seat. She eyed him, wondering how old he really was. His arms were buff, but not the kind that would make you sick. He smiled that damn crocked smile, it sent shivers down her back. "I'm fine Bitch, I should be asking you that, are you okay?" Her smile never left her face, damn him for worrying about her. "I'm fine, my name is Kagome by the way, Or Kags for short." He chuckled and stuck his hand out, laying it on top of hers with a cocky smirk, boy did that make her lose her breath. "I happen to like Bitch much better." She rolled her eyes but smiled none-the less.
They sat there talking for hours, his hand still on top of hers. By the time the shop was closing they lost themselves to love without even knowing it. He stood up and offered her his arm, when she latched on he walked her down and disposed of the cups, paying for both of their coffee's despite Kaede telling him no. "Hey Kags?" He whispered when they walked out the door. She looked up at him in a daze, "hmm," he smiled down at her and kissed her forehead, "Need me to walk you home?"
I am SO ending this here, I've been working on this for the past 3-4ish days due to writers block, but due to talking to my ex I decided to finish or try to. I will try to make the chapters longer but with stress with college and Lack of sleep that maybe hard.
