“Ha-ha,” Eli deadpanned, rolling her eyes playfully as Maisie took the coffee, “very funny.” She figured she’d set herself up for that one. Fair enough. At the girl’s response, she couldn’t help but crack a smile. Despite everything that had gone down between them, Eli still really enjoyed spending time with Maisie. Sure, they still had their moments of being weird and jealous of each other, as was expected, but for the most part they were actually doing a pretty good job at maintaining a friendship. At Maisie’s question, Eli scrunched up her face and tapped a finger on her chin, pretending she actually had to think about it. “Duh, I’m asking if you wanna hang out,” the brunette finally confirmed, raising her eye brows suggestively as she reached behind her back to untie her apron, “just give me five minutes.” Eli made her way to the register and clocked out, then beelined to the break room to hang up her apron in her locker and grab her jacket and her bag. The whole thing took a few minutes max and in no time, she was at Maisie’s side, giving her a little nudge. “Let’s dip. Any minute spent here where I’m not making a buck is a complete waste,” she insisted as she grabbed Maisie’s arm and nearly dragged her out of the coffee shop. “What’re you doing out and about anyway?” the brunette asked, basking in the warm breeze that hit them once they were outside, “also do you want to smoke? Because I just got this new strain that’s allegedly very mellow and fun.”
Maisie sipped on her coffee with a grin stuck to her face as she waited for Eli to finish up her end of shift duties at work. While she had felt that she was never given a chance by the St. James family, she had never held it against Eli. It was a weird and complicated time for the both of them when they were together and even through Maisies stubborn ways, she could understand why that family turned their cheeks when she was around. “I had to run a few errands.” She stated as they exited the coffee shop. “And both of my dads are home and I was not in the mood to hear about how I need to start making a life plan for myself.” She continued to add on, “I’m still a child, I have plenty of time for that.” Though what she said wasn’t exactly true, it’s really how the girl felt. She didn’t think that now was the age that she needed to have everything figured out. “Oh, of course.” She replied, giving no hesitation to the other females question. “Anything that keeps me on cloud nine and away from my responsibilities is a absolute yes from me.”
