He laughed when she swatted at him and pointed his finger at her. "I'll get you good before the night's out, Putnam," he joked.
Alex dipped his own spoon into his tin of ice cream and paused with the spoon midway to his mouth. Jeez, was she doing that on purpose? His eyes were drawn to her mouth and the way she was sucking the ice cream off her finger. He coughed slightly when he realized how stupid he must look and finished taking a bite. The cold treat certainly helped cool down the flush his cheeks took on.
He laughed distracted thankfully by her comment. "Hey, I'm not trying to complicate things. It's just a more practical method unless you want to freeze the tip of your finger off." Alex shrugged and took another bite. "Or you could just use one of those cookies to scoop some out?" He thought for a moment. "That's what this ice cream is missing. Chocolate bits or marshmallows or something."
