Summary: Kagome has to explain herself to Sesshomaru on why she is late.
“You’re late.”
Oh God.
Blue eyes lifted and met amber ones.
His face gave nothing away; she couldn’t tell if he was angry, if he was concerned, or if he didn’t care that she was late… why didn’t the man have any facial expressions?!
Kagome laughed nervously and looked away from his expectant eyes and stared nervously down at her new cherry oak desk that was just outside of his office. She didn’t want to fib to the man and start off on a bad note. He seemed like the type that he didn’t mess around and was all work and no play. He was kind of nice during the interview, but at the same time he still pretty cold.
“I-um-“she cleared her throat and glared at an object on her desk, “I was-“
“It’s your first day here; it would be wise not to lie to me.”
A blush burned her cheeks and she found it a little harder to steel her nerves and look up at him. So she continued to glare at the pen on her desk and continued to clear her throat nervously. “I hate wearing heels. I couldn’t find my new shoes and was searching high and low for them and somehow they just went completely missing.” She rambled out; she could feel sweat already building on her brow.
His burning gaze burned a hole through the nervous girl and she was pretty sure if he continued to stare at her however he was staring at her, she would melt in her chair. Slowly she lifted her head and looked up into his molten, buttery gaze. Dear God, his eyes were beautiful. No, she can’t think that about him. It’s not right to be attracted to a boss, because feelings start playing into things and then things will get weird, and she was not all about weird.
A few silent moments passed and they continued to stare at each other; she was about to have a breakdown and if no one would say anything then she would. But what would she say?
“Hn, don’t let it happen again, Miss Higurashi. Go through these papers for errors then email them to me when you are done proofreading.” He laid down a stack of papers, turned on his heels and retreated to his office.
Kagome let go of her breath that she didn’t know she was holding.
