The coffee was hot. Steaming hot as I poured it into his cup. It warmed my hands through the pristine white china. I set it down on his tray, smelling it and closing my eyes. His lips would touch the crisp edge of this cup. The coffee would pour into his mouth and warm it. He would bite into the scone that I have prepared for him with love, care, and extra everything. I set this one aside from the rest. He has been coming to my little cafe every Saturday and Sunday since it opened. He sits in the same place, drinks the same coffee, eats the same scones. He is my beautiful constant, and one day, I will build up the courage I need to go over there and talk to him and stop loving him from afar.

The Café In Manahatta

Part Twenty
“So…how did it go?”
She had said that at the end of every date so far. Four times.
“I don't think that I want to see him again.”
“Why not? I thought that Hojo sounded sweet.”
“And he was sweet, but he just isn't my type…and well…he seemed a little too full of himself. He had a preposterous amount of testosterone.”
She giggled, and I found myself doing the same.
“You said the same thing about Koga.”
“I said that if Koga was any cockier, he would have two…”
“And Miroku…”
“He never looked at my face…just lower…”
“And I still don't think that Jakotsu is gay.”
“He was staring south of the border at my shoes.”
“Fine…but we will find someone for you.”
I snorted.
“Sure.”
She didn't press the issue.
“Alright…well…I'm off to work then since there is nothing good about the date from yesterday.”
“Bye!” I called as the door opened and closed.
It was a Monday now. Three weeks since the dates started. Three weeks since I had seen my White Rose in person. I was still seeing him in my mind, and it was scaring me. I never told Kagome about it, but I could still feel his ghostly touch everywhere I went. I hated it. I wanted it gone. I feared every corner of my café and apartment. I couldn't live without it.
I shook my head and went to the back to start on a new batch of scones. I took out all of the ingredients: eggs, packed brown sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, fresh blueberries, half-and-half cream, and all-purpose flour. I measured, mixed, kneaded, formed and baked until they were perfect.
“They look delicious,” he purred from behind, and I ignored him. “I can't wait to bite into one, the blueberries bursting in my mouth.”
I could feel him, his arms wrapping around me again.
“Please…leave me alone,” I whispered as I got the platter I used for the scones in the display case. I started arranging the scones on the tray.
“But why?” he asked, his voice sounding completely crushed.
Then I heard my savior, the bell up front. Oh, how I had once loathed that bell. Now, I could not begin to imagine my life without it. It truly was a Godsend at the moment. It gave me a break from my insanity.
“Coming!” I called to the person up front as I took off my apron and quickly cleaned my hands with hand sanitizer. The chemical sent wafted up to my nose, and I found myself oddly comforted by it.
“How can I help you?” I asked as I rubbed my hands together, foolishly looking down at them.
“Can I get a coffee and a blueberry scone?”
I froze at the sound of the voice. My heart started to pump faster. Ever so slowly, I titled my head up, and my breath caught.
My White Rose was back.
A/N: :D. We are in the chapters starting with a 2! I am happy now :D. Remember to R and R please! Reviews mean a lot…especially since this is so off the beaten path I can't see it anymore!
Now for the AR!

Hahaha…She will get help :D. Just wait a few more chapters. I liked the links…the first one the most. I listened to it when I was working on part 24 and 25, and hummed it to my dog during her bath time. Anyways…thanks for the review, and keep reading!
