Ice Cream Chillin'

Taho lazily blinked her eyes awake as her brain sluggishly came back online. She yawned, smacking her lips and letting out a hum of satisfaction. She then stretched her body as much as she could, only to sigh and relax on the mattress again.

Sweat stuck to her forehead and, despite how hard her fan was trying to abate the heat, it barely managed to help.

Her satin pajama shirt had managed to ride up during her afternoon nap, exposing her stomach. Her shorts were much the same, and as she sat up, she unrolled the hems so they sat comfortably against her mid thighs.

Tail swishing from side to side, she walked to the kitchen. The clock read 4pm, which she figured was as good as any time to have a snack.

She rummaged through her cabinets but found nothing appetizing enough. Nothing seemed right. The fridge was much the same, and although she could whip something up, she really just wanted something easy that could abate the cold.

It was with that thought in mind that her eyes widened, and her ears twitched. Of course! How could she have forgotten? She had a whole tub of caramel ice cream!

Humming happily, she dug through her freezer for the promise of her sweet, cold, delight. She let out a triumphant “aha!” once she found it, and without bothering with a bowl grabbed a large spoon and plopped herself down on the couch.

The living room fan was on full blast and brought sweet relief from the heat all around the house.

Dipping her spoon into the tub, she scooped an ample amount of ice cream and immediately guided it to her mouth, letting out a pleased moan at the taste and temperature.

She let the tub rest against her chest, not caring for the wet mark it would leave behind. Maybe it would even help with the heat!

She filled her spoon one more time, placing it in her mouth and letting her own body heat melt the substance against her tongue. The taste of caramel traveled from her taste buds directly to the pleasure center in her brain, making her let out a delighted sigh.

Every spoonful made her happier and temporarily took her mind off the summer heat, so much so that the relaxation it brought her coupled with the white noise of the fan made her drowsy.

It didn't help that in order to enjoy the sweetness of the caramel more, she closed her eyes and let it melt against her tongue, swirling it around in her mouth and chilling every corner until it slid its way down her throat.

The cold of the ice cream wasn't enough to keep her awake, and so she fell into a light slumber, ice cream tub half full, spoon in her mouth, and feet on the coffee table in front of her couch.

It must've been less than an hour after that when she awoke again. The sultry weather wasn't letting her sleep properly lately; she couldn't wait for it to be over!

She blinked awake, faster than she had previously, and looked down at the feeling of wetness against her chest. She found the half full tub of caramel ice cream nearly all liquified, and a large circular wet spot on her pajamas.

She frowned. Damn it! Now she'd have to freeze her ice cream all over again to enjoy a cold treat! It would take forever!!

Grumbling, she got up to do exactly that. 

Oh well, if it took too long she could always go out and get more. She could stand in the frozen aisle and pretend to be deciding between flavors while she let the cold air do its thing.

Yeah, that wasn't too bad of a plan!
