"Hey, beautiful." Cheryl nearly jumps out of her skin at the sound of the athlete's raspy voice. She turns around to see Toni, the brunette clad in jeans and her basketball jersey.
It's a little after seven, so the redhead infers that the brunette has just gotten off from practice. Hence the ponytail that's keeping her hair away from her face.
She allows her green eyes to wander over Toni's physique, her lip subconsciously being pulled in by her teeth. Although they are broken up, Cheryl still takes the time to keep up with the brunette's basketball stats.
Toni has improved after her suspension from the team two years ago.
"Hey." she finally speaks up, cheeks flushing. "Took you long enough." she then teases, adjusting her purse on her shoulder.
"Yeah, sorry..." Toni chuckles while tucking her hands into her jeans pockets. "Practice ran later than I thought. I hope I didn't have you waiting for too long."
"No." Cheryl's features soften. "It was only ten minutes," she interjects, "Your place?"
"Uh, yeah. Yeah." the brunette nods before gesturing down the street. The two walk-in awkward silence, Toni taking occasional glances toward the beauty.
When they reach her apartment building, the doorman opens the big glass door and smiles in greeting, his eyes trailing over Cheryl's figure.
"Good evening." he smiles friendly. Way too friendly for Toni's liking.
"Evening." Cheryl hums while the latter doesn't respond, only offering him a glare as she reaches over to touch the small of Cheryl's back. The redhead shivers in reaction and her green eyes trail over to Toni who keeps her gaze straight ahead.
"Someone's jealous?" she teases once they're in the privacy of the lift.
"No." Toni scoffs. "He was staring too hard."
"Whatever," Cheryl smirks while playing the tag on Toni's jersey, stepping closer to her. The doors to the elevator open and Toni leads Cheryl toward her apartment.
"Sorry if it's a mess. It's laundry week." she chuckles lightly while fetching her keys. The porcelain skin beauty only hums in a manner to wave her off.
As they enter, the smell of rosemary and vanilla fills her senses making her heart ache a bit.
It reminds her of Elaine.
Toni moves to pick up a few t-shirts from off the floor before allowing Cheryl in. The aforementioned beauty looks around her apartment with curiosity. It's much more different than the brunette's previous apartment and bigger.
"Just...make yourself at home. I will be right back." the latter states and then rushes off toward the direction of what Cheryl can only assume is the bathroom.
Sighing, Cheryl treads over to the white couch to take a seat, setting her LV bag onto the beautiful glass coffee table carefully.
As she does so, her phone vibrates in her bag causing her to reach over and retrieve it.
"Vero..." she mumbles while unlocking her phone.

I know you're probably meeting up with Toni right now, but this is urgent!
What was the number of those heels I wanted for the bridesmaids at Reg and I's wedding last year?
