Maria sat in the corner of the ballroom, looking out into the sea of people. In a red ball gown, she had known the night would be boring, but she wasn't aware that all she would be doing was sitting in a corner. Angelica, the oldest of the Schuyler sisters, had invited her to the ball. Maria had been friends with the girl for a while, and when given the opportunity to meet the older girl's family she had happily agreed.

However, she was currently bored, sitting by herself at a small table. A pink gown caught her attention, and when Maria looked up she saw Angelica standing in front of her, followed closely by two girls. The oldest among the small group of girls smiled, and Maria stood up to hug her friend.

"Maria, these are my sisters. Eliza, Peggy, this is Maria." Angelica introduced her sisters, and Maria smiled. The first, Peggy, was shorter. As the youngest of the Schuyler sisters, she was smaller. She had curly hair, a darker complexion, and she was wearing a yellow gown that made her stand out against the crowd.

Marias smile then faltered when her eyes landed on Angelica's second sister. The girl had dark hair, which was braided down her back, and a lighter complexion than her sisters. She was wearing a light blue gown, and Maria thought she looked beautiful. Quickly regaining her composure, Maria introduced herself to the girls, though in Eliza's case the introduction wasn't exactly necessary.

Maria was all too familiar to Eliza, and the younger girl couldn't help but tense up at the sight of the girl in the red gown. Angelica and Peggy, on the other hand, had absolutely no idea that anything had happened between the two. After a while, Peggy started pestering Angelica about dancing and all the older could do was sigh and agree to take her younger sister onto the dance floor.

"Play nice." Angelica laughed softly as she spoke to Maria, before taking Peggy's hand and allowing the youngest of the Schuylers to pull her out into the sea of dancing people.

As soon as the two were gone, a silence settled between Maria and Eliza. Suddenly, Maria felt like all of people in the room were suffocating them. She grabbed Eliza's hand, quickly slipping out the door with the younger girl. They walked down main hallway, which was dimly lit as the majority of the guests were in the ballroom. Reaching a small room, Maria pulled Eliza into the room before shutting the door behind her.

"Angelica.. she's the older sister you told me about?"

"You're Angie's best friend?"

The two girls spoke at the same time, and Maria couldn't help but laugh. Honestly, the situation was ironic. They had worked so hard to keep their relationship a secret, and now they were finding out that Maria was best friends with her girlfriend's sister. Upon hearing Maria's laugh, Eliza couldn't help but smile. The girls hadn't seen each other in weeks, and she was glad to get to see Maria again.

Before Eliza knew what was going on, Maria had stopped laughing as she was pushed against the wall gently. It was something that had always baffled Eliza, how Maria managed to go from adorable to extremely hot within a matter of seconds, not that she was complaining. Maria smirked at the younger girl, leaning down to whisper in her ear. The feeling of Maria's breath on Eliza's ear made the younger girl shiver, and Maria was quick take notice of it.

"Aww, did you miss me cutie?"

Eliza nodded quickly, biting her lip as Maria kissed down her jawline before finally bringing their lips together. As they kissed, Maria slowly threaded her hands into Eliza's hair, and the younger girl was so focused on the older girls lips on hers that she didn't even notice. That was until Maria gripped Eliza's hair and pulled, causing the younger girl to moan softly.

As Maria tugged on her hair, Eliza wanted to beg the older girl to just take her right there. Screw the ball, screw her father, and screw anything else, all Eliza wanted in that moment was for Maria to kiss her senseless. However that wish was quickly ripped away from her, as Maria pulled away and looked her in the eye.

"I suppose we should get back to the ball.."

All Eliza could do was look at her girlfriend and pout, whining as Maria took a step away from her.
"Your sisters will be wondering where we are... and besides, I'll be around a lot more often now."

With that, Maria chuckled softly and kissed the younger girl before grabbing her hand and pulling her back to the ballroom.
