starter for: @camilagvrcia location: balcony of the lakeview hotel
Marcus was already feeling worn out. This ball and all of Mystic seemingly crammed into one place was exhausting to him. Glancing around the ballroom behind him, Marcus slipped behind a long billowing curtain to what he hoped was an empty balcony. He needed the air... and a smoke. Letting out a sigh of relief, he stepped through the open doors to find the balcony almost entirely empty. It wasn’t until he’d reached into his jacket pocket for a joint he’d rolled in preparation for this exact moment, that he noticed the lone figure leaning against the balcony. Marcus did a double take, something about the beautiful stranger looked familiar, but he couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Either way, the gorgeous dress hugged her curves in all the right places and as he stood there in the dark, Marcus couldn’t help but feel drawn in.
“Needed a break, too?” he asked, when he was a few steps away from her, hoping he hadn’t startled the woman too much. As he reached the balcony to lean against it as well, he got out his lighter. “You don’t mind, do you?” he asked, indicating the joint he was about to light.
