Marcus spluttered a little as he rose out of the water but laughed with Maria and didn't bother to defend himself when she splashed him. “Sorry. I just couldn't resist.” he grinned, wiping his face.

She shook her head as she made her way over to him and shoved him, not really hard but enough to move him (barley) "well shame on you, she said with a slight chuckle.

(Sorry this one is very short I couldn't think of much 💀)

Marc stumbled a bit when she pushed him but kept smiling. “Ok, maybe that was a little childish but…” he shrugged, not really apologizing yet.

(no worries)

"Oh, you think that was childish? I'll show you childish! " and with that she made her way barley succeeding in running out deeper into the ocean, once the water was just under her breasts she stopped and looked back towards Marcus, bobbing in the water she called out. "Bet you can't swim this far!" She managed to yell while laughing.

Marc grinned at the challenge before quickly swimming after her. “I meant me.” he pointed out as he caught up to her.

"Oh did you? I hadn't noticed. " she retorted with a snicker before moving a bit father out to widen the space between them both. She could just barely make out his shape since the moon was her only light sorce. She was kicking her legs calmly to keep herself afloat, she could barely contain her giggles she felt like a child acting like this but she didn't mind, this was the most fun she'd had in a while. It made her feel better about her decision on coming here.

Marc smiled at her tone, glad that there hadn't been any misunderstanding, and continued to swim after her. “Hey, don't go out too far.” he warned. “There shouldn't be any sharks but rip currents are no fun.”

She nodded "don't worry I won't! I'm just enjoying the water. " she went quiet for a second before moving a bit closer to Marcus "but maybe you should move out a bit closer to me.. I may need someone to hold onto." She said with a slight smile.

(This story makes me wanna go back to the beach 😭)

Marc smiled as she moved closer to him. “Don't worry. You can grab onto me. I’ll keep you safe.” he assured as he swam beside her, though he didn't blame her for wanting to enjoy the ocean.

(Me too. And I don't think I've been in a long time.)

Maria smiled softly before hesitatly wrapping her arms around his neck, her face bright red.
"I'm usually not this bold- I'd blame it on the booze but we haven't had any." She said with a small laugh.

Marc smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist. “I don't mind. And we did have a little, remember? At the restaurant.” he reminded.

Maria laughed a little as she recalled the earlier events of the night. "Oh yeah I guess we did didn't we? I must have forgotten. " she smiled nervously.

“It's ok.” Marc chuckled. “It's probably out of our system by now anyways.” he pointed out, though he wasn't sure of the math of how fast alcohol took to stop affecting a person.

She nodded in agreement "maybe…i didn't even remember consuming it so that makes it difficult to tell. " she said with a chuckle, before looking up at him with a soft smile and spoke warmly, "thank you for tonight, I don't remember a time where anyone was this nice to me. Let alone tried to make sure I had the greatest night possible… It's very sweet. " before she knew what she was doing she leaned and and kissed him, nothing long just a little peck on the lips but it made her freeze and her face turned bright red.

Marc smiled back, though he was both sad and disappointed by what her words implied. But the kiss was nice, as brief as it was, and he would have returned it if he had the chance. “I’m glad that you've been having a good time with me.” he told her sincerely.

(I just realized I cut our side conversation short I'm so sorry 😭)

Maria looked away from Marcus, she feared if she kept looking at him her face would melt off if it got any hotter. She looked out to the sea watching the waves in the distance "I… I'm sorry- I don't know what came over me…"

(no worries.)

“Hey, I didn't mind.” he assured, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. “I wouldn't have minded if it had been longer either.” Marc smiled.

(I skill feel bad tho girl)
She brought her gaze back to Marcus when he touched her hair, it made her stomach do a flip. "Well.. Maybe it will happen again." She said with a small laugh

“What would you think of me if I said that I hope it does?” he asked with a gentle smirk, meeting her eyes.

"Well I may go as far as giving you what you hope for right now.. " she said mirroring his smirk.

"Oh, really?" Marc teased, his grin widening at her words.

She nodded with a little smile and reached up just enough so she could kiss him again, the waves helped her out when leaning up because he was a taller than her but she held herself up, she couldn't believe what she was doing, she was never this bold and she never kissed people that were practically strangers to her, but she was different she could feel it.

Marc adjusted his arms to support her because of the height difference and the unevenness of the waves. But he smiles and softly kisses her back. It may have been a bit fast but he wasn't going to complain, besides he did like Maria.

(I'm literally fan girling over these two ugh)

Maria couldn't help but giggle as she pulled away, her breath being a bit faster than before as she tried to collect herself. "I'm not sure what to do after this… Do I invite you over do we stay here or part ways until tomorrow?" The poor girl clearly had no idea what she was talking about she was still high off the kiss and wasn't ready to loose the feeling yet.

(😁)

Marc smiled warmly as the kiss ends and shrugged. “As much as I enjoyed that, we don't have to do anything.” he assured, picking up on her confusion. “There’s no rush. Unless you really want to but there’s no pressure.”

Maria thought about it for a moment before her head bobbed up "we could… Go to my place and see what happens? Maybe watch a movie or something… "

“Sure.” Marc nodded with a soft smile. “That sounds like a good plan. You ready to go now?”

"We can go now if you want to. " she said softly giving him the same smile he gave her. She began to slip a little so she had to kick he legs a few times to stay up right against Marcus.

“Ok.” he nodded, catching her as she started to slide. “Let's go back to my bike and I can take you home.” Marc assured.

She nodded her face bright red when he caught her "I kinda need to be able to walk to shore. " she said with a little laugh.
