"Oh okay good so I won't get lost going to the store. " she said jokingly

“Hopefully not.” he smiled at her, chuckling softly as he handed back her phone.

"Thank you for helping me I hope it wasn't to much trouble. "

“Nah. No trouble at all.” he assured. “I actually enjoyed walking with you.” he admitted with a small, almost shy, smile.

"So did i. " she said smiling back him "I'm looking forward to tonight

“You won't be disappointed.” he promised as he shared her excitement about their… “not” date since they had just met and didn't really know each other well enough for that.

"I better not be. " she teased she was surprised at how excited she was about tonight even though she just met Marcus

Marcus smiled, chuckling softly. “You can tell me if you were at the end of the night. I’ll see you at The Beachfront.” he said as he started to walk away.

"Bye." She waved before turning around ah heading into her temporary home "Jesus Christ this place is like a mansion. "

Now, in a much better mood, Marcus headed back to where he was staying. It wasn't quite as fancy as were Maria rented but he didn't need much. And he wanted to be ready for tonight anyway. He had plenty of time but he still wanted to look nice.

Maria ran to a couple different stores and might have bought a little more than she needed that that wasn't important she was mostly looked forward to tonight so she had to pick out something cute she made it "home" and decided to start getting ready she already had a bit of a tan so she wasn't shelf consciousness about showing skin she picked out a cute dress and strappy sandals her brownish blonde hair went down to chest with a wavy style as she looked at herself in the mirror "I think this should do." she thought to herself smiling

Marcus had a couple of errands to run before he finally made it back. He decided to take a fast shower since his short sandy blond hair would dry quickly but it would lay a bit nicer than his usual, almost spiky, style. It took him a little longer than normal for him to pick out something to wear before he eventually chose some dark shorts with a nice but simple light green shirt that complimented his eyes and showed off his muscles. Though he was wearing some swimming shorts underneath.

She gave herself one more look in mirror before heading out of the door feeling satisfied with her look and started heading towards the club feeling a little nervous

Marcus made sure to arrive a little earlier so he could make sure he got a good table before Maria showed up. But he was nervous. Even though this wasn’t really a date, it was the first time in a while that he’d been out with a pretty girl in public.

By the time Maria got there it was about 9:50 and she was already looking around to see if she could find Marcus anywhere

Marcus smiled and waved Maria over when he saw her looking his way.

The tropical theme that the tiki torches outside showed, certainly continued in the bar. That I would describe if I wasn't drawing a blank on how to…

Maria smiled and waved back walking over to Marcus "hey! "

“Hi.” Marcus smiled back, standing as she approached. “Glad you could make it.”

"So am I this place looked great, so do you. " she said with a soft smile

“Thank you. You look very nice yourself.” he smiled back, offering her a seat.

"Oh thank you. " she was blushing a bit while taking the seat he had offered her

“I’m guessing that you had fun shopping, then?” he teased playfully as he sat down across from her.

"Let's just say my wallet is a lot lighter than it was when I arrived. '' she said sounding a little embarrassed

“I'm sure. But you don't have to worry about tonight. Anything you want is on me.” he smiled assuringly.

"Oh I couldn't do that. " she said with a small smile
