His smile grew as she accepted the flowers, though despite what she said last night, and just now, he still had a hard time believing that she had been dateless this long. “I’m glad you like them.” he said sincerely. “You look beautiful too.”
"Oh thank you I was a little worried about that you look great… Oh um do you want to come Inside while I put this I some water? "
“Thank you.” he blushed softly. “Uhh, yeah. I mean, if it's ok with you, I can wait inside.” he nodded.
Maria smiled at his blush "yeah I don't mind at all feel free to look around " she said opening the to for him to come in as the looked for a vase
“Alright.” he smiled as he stepped inside, looking around a little. “Thank you.”
"Of course, so do I get any clues about our date? "
Marcus smirked at the question and leaned against the wall. “Depends. What kind of clues were you looking for?”
"Oh I don't know maybe is it indoors or outdoors? "
“Outdoors.” he grinned, enjoying the idea of turning this into a game. At least until they left.
Her face lit up once she found the vase "Hmm well will there be a lot of people? " she reached for the vase filling it with water for the flowers
“Most likely.” he nodded, still grinning.
"Music? "
He hummed thoughtfully before shrugging. “Probably. I’m not actually sure.”
"Well that's no help. " she picked up the flowers putting them in the vase and turned around leaning on the counter "is it on the beach? "
“Sorry.” he chuckled, shrugging. “Umm… No. It's not on the beach, but you can see it and hear it where we're going.” he answered.
"Ugh I have no clue just tell me! " she couldn't help but laugh at her impatience
Marcus laughed with her but shook his head. “Not yet, Maria. I don't want to spoil the surprise.”
"I don't like surprises. " she said smirking
“So far, everything I know about you says otherwise.” he smirked back.
"Oh really? " she asked crossing her arms
“Yep.” he nodded, popping the “p”. “You liked the seafood last night despite never trying it before. You liked finding out that I have a motorcycle and riding on it. You liked the secret cove I showed you. Maybe not all of those were surprises but…” he shrugged.
"Fine fine I'll wait but it better be good. " she said jokingly winking at him
“I think it will be.” he smirked back. “I've always had fun when I've gone before.”
"Have you by chance told me about this place before? "
“Nope. This is new.” he admitted. “I mean, I knew about it before last night but I thought you would have some fun.”
"Alright well then maybe we should get going then? " she asked smiling
“Sure.” he nodded, smiling back as he straightened up. “You ready?”
"Yep I think so. " she said standing up straight and walked over to the door smiling at him on the way
Marcus smiled and walked out the door with her. “Hope you don't mind I brought my motorcycle again.”
"Oh no not at all. " she started down the path to his bike
