CJ looked up in surprise at her name, but grinned when she saw Malachite. “Hey,” she responded cheerfully, kicking back on the swing so it started moving again as he gave her sass about her ice-cream. It was to be expected, and she stuck her tongue out at him before returning to the sweet treat. She made a show of licking at all three flavours at once, and rolled her eyes back, her face a picture of ecstasy as she enjoyed them. “My taste is exquisite.” She said with a smirk. Okay, so that was debatable in the general sense, but CJ had no doubt that her taste in ice-cream was outstanding. It was not her fault no one else was smart enough to give it a go!
Still swinging, she alternated between watching her friend, and turning her gaze up at the sky so she could watch the dark clouds come rolling in. The promised storm would be there soon, but not yet, and she took another bite of her ice-cream before looking at Malachite again. “Not working tonight?” she asked curiously, “or on your way?” Another bite of ice cream, and she swung her legs again, enjoying the breeze and the company. She needed to take more nights off, but with ends barely meeting on the best of times, it simply wasn’t affordable. She would probably regret not working that night before the week was out, but for now, she was enjoying the freedom.
