‘‘sure, we can go wit’ munchies. ‘m not even gonna lie, ‘s been a hot minute since i had one of these.’‘ fingers are running along the wording of a strawberry ice cream carton– dark orbs looking up in a thoughtful daze. eyes linger on her just a little longer than usual, lips quirking up some. ‘‘you look like you got some good ice cream taste to.’’ with the carton in one hand, TJ takes a challenging step towards her. but glances at the flavors. ‘’which one you pickin’? they all look like they taste sweet.’’

CHERRY WAS QUICKLY attentive to the conversation, unabashed in her gaze as she took in his appearance. besides, the guy did reply to her. just simply getting a feel for the stranger. she seems entirely unaffected as he’s suddenly in her area as she points between two flavors. “struggling between mint chocolate chip and cookies and cream. a true dilemma if you ask me. how could i choose, strawberry is one of my last choices so that means more for you.” she jokes with a lighthearted grin.

tatum-valdez​:

‘‘just trying to warn you ahead of time for what you’re getting yourself into. not exactly the best..’‘ he isn’t able to help but trail off, head tilting further to the side as if to survey her for her next move– but to also think over his next words. ‘‘i should consider myself lucky. not only was my ice cream bought for me, but my favorite drink was. hitting all the nails in the head here.’‘ tatum comments, but follows along side her anyways. ‘‘i’m.. tatum. nice to meet you.’‘

CHERRY’S EYES NARROW momentarily at his words, mulling over them in her mind. is he saying he won’t be the best company? probably better company than her empty apartment. she brushes off the notion, smiling victoriously that she chose the right drink. “what can i say, i’m pretty fuckin’ amazing.” she jokes, turning to look at him momentarily. “tatum.” she tests the name out before smiling once again. “i’m cherry, nice to meet you too.” there was a moment of greetings between her and the cashier she knew by first name as she pays for the various items. “you live near here?”

tatum-valdez​:

‘‘certain you’ll regret stickin’ around at the end of the night.’‘ lips are pursed as he finally takes that bold step forward, at least getting a little closer to her– both his brows raising in amusement this time. there was ah.. no attempt in trying to shoot back a witty retort, diverting his gaze almost immediately. ‘let’s just say it was one. would you turn it down? ’’ dark eyes return to hers, the  corners of his lips curling into a tiny smirk.

CHERRY STAYS planted in her spot, feet unmoving as the taller male takes a step towards her, teeth now sinking into her lower lip to hold back a smile as she continues to scan his face. “hm, i’m sure i’ll be deciding factor of whether it’s a regrettable experience... you’re not making a good case for yourself despite that.” she teases, free hand moving to wrap around the neck of the bottle she had decided on before he walked over and grabbing it firmly. “i mean, i’m buying and i’m not exactly against the company...” she trails on, lifting the bottle up beside her head to sway it side to side. “c’mon tough guy, i’ll buy this and then give you a straight answer.”

[stemmedcherry]

tatum-valdez​:

‘‘its got it moments, depending on who you ask. not really like most people.’‘ the ice cream is taken out of his hands, and tatum has to look away because he’s fighting the urge to smile. it takes him a couple of seconds to catch up to her, shoving both his hands in the pockets of his jacke as tatum’s head tilts at her question. ‘‘now you’re buyin’ my drink to? i must’ve impressed you well enough then. i’m a whiskey guy. but.. what if i wasn’t goin’ to drink with you tonight?’‘

“EVERYONE STARTS out boring. you’re doing alright so far.” there’s a playful grin practically tattooed to her lips as she comes to a stop in front of the liquors, eyes scanning over the options as he speaks to her. at his question though, her attention is pulled away from the assortment of glass bottles as she looks up at him, cocking a brow. “bold of you to assume i was going to drink with you. or was that an offer?” she hums amusedly, tilting her head slightly to mirror him.

tatum-valdez​:

biting his bottom lip as he takes a second to think about it, tatum still reaches for the chocolate chip ice cream with a shrug. ‘’what if you think it’s a bad one? what am i s’posed to do then, hm?’’ brow raises though, and his free hand runs along his chin in thought. ‘’i did.. a prety good job at work tonight. got paid pretty well for it to, just havin’ a tiny victory party.’’

“IT’S PRETTY hard to not impress me so... i’d be worried about how boring your life is.” there was a teasing nature to the female as she peeks at what ice cream he gets, nodding in approval at the flavor. “hm, you’ve won me over. tiny victories are the best kind.” she winks playfully before slyly pulling his pint of ice cream from his hand and stacking it on top of her mint chocolate chip. turning on her heel, cherry begins walking towards the front. “should i get you a bottle of wine too? or are you more of a whiskey guy.” she calls over her shoulder.

“wait, so you’re not fucking with me? i thought that was your way of just telling me i’m being too loud.” cherry questions, slightly surprised. “not a big fan of coke but - let me try this again. ahem. yes, how can i maximize my aura.”

[stemmedcherry]

tatum-valdez​:

what better way to celebrate a couple of wins under his belt? fighting had gone late into night, and a little after his victory & getting his cut of the money, tatum actually wanted to treat himself to something sweet. chocolate chip ice cream was the way to do it, but the voice beside him snaps him out of that thoughtful daze he’d been in. ‘’late night desert. celebrating, actually.’’

OVERTIME, CHERRY SEEMED to lack the true idea of personal space or... stranger danger for that matter. maybe it was her lack of fucks to give or maybe she had smoked too much that she only had one braincell left functioning... either way she was humming in agreement as if she was talking to someone she’d met before this one moment. “celebrating huh? what’cha celebrating? good enough reason and i might get the ice cream for ya.”

    —- “your aura is quite loud today,” scout replied, looking eagerly at the other person. “if you want, i could show you how to align your chakras, or give you advice on how to best maximise your aura, yes?”

[stemmedcherry]

CHERRY GLANCES over at them, gaze looking down at her own body as if she could see how loud her aura was. “am i giving a neon yellow aura today? i usually like to keep it a good lilac. are you gonna like... rub some crystals under my nose and tell me my third eye opened?”

THERE IS NOT ONE MOMENT where cherry is completely still, physically or mentally need to be stimulated all the fuckin’ time. from streaming for far too long just to be able to talk to scrolling sentences through a chat or roaming different places of business just to make conversation with workers who were quite literally paid to be kosher with her. so maybe that’s why she is up at 2am, humming her way through different aisles of the 24 hour convenience store down the street from her to cure her craving for ice cream. in classic cherry fashion, she took her sweet fucking time looking over all the flavors before catching sight of an unfortunate bystander in the in the freezer area with her. “late night munchies too?” she attempts at greeting, lightly shrugging towards the colorful assortment of sweets with a smile. “or not munchies - scratch that. let’s call it late night cravings.”
