Nocturne turned the Jeep on and was adjusting the heat settings when CJ spoke. He looked at her, studying her face for a long moment to see if she was teasing or lying but it seemed like a genuine statement. The offer to give a friend’s number instead added to the look she was giving him. She wanted him to contact her, to hang out again, but they had hit a major roadblock in making that happen. It was another piece of evidence to his growing belief that CJ was in a rough situation and if she was barely eating, then it made sense she wouldn’t have a phone. If he had more common sense that night, he would have seen that fact before asking for a number.
“It’s so refreshing to find someone young not glued to a phone screen,” Nocturne stated with a smile but no sarcasm while pretending like he wasn’t a part of the group he was insulting. He wasn’t as bad as Lyric but that was also because he kept people further away than she did so while he had friends and contacts, they just didn’t feel a need to talk daily or even weekly. “Add your friend’s number and I’ll text him later to verify if he’s fine being our third,” he gave CJ a wicked little grin, showing he meant all the innuendo she wanted to find in that and knew she would from their sex chat earlier.
When he pulled up to the address given, Nocturne wasn’t too impressed but it was better than he feared it would be. Assuming she wasn’t lying and about to walk twenty minutes to some shady area of the city that even he wouldn’t wander around in without a few weapons within reach. Deciding to trust CJ and not grill her, Nocturne put the Jeep in park and turned to face his new friend, taking his phone back when it was offered. He didn’t check to ensure there was a number there, deciding to keep the trust going that it would not only be there but go to her helpful friend. “I haven’t decided if I should thank you for putting up with me again today or apologise for you having to put up with me again.”
