Marcus didn't really mind his neighbours. On one side he had a Healer who mostly kept to himself and rarely made any noise. Marcus suspected he didn't really have much time to hang out in his flat as Marcus only saw him once in a while when he was leaving the building. On the other side, was Gertrude and he saw her every damn day. She was the one who knew everyone's business and didn't miss a chance to talk about it. As Marcus was used to the media catching every moment of his life, he didn't really care that she talked about it.
"Damn straight," he muttered, an arm wrapped around her waist to draw her closer as their lips met again. It was so much easier just to lose himself in Katie. He didn't have to think about all that other shit and that was a blood relief in and of itself.
He smirked, breaking the kiss as Gertrude continue to toss in her two sickles. "I bet to differ," he responded, amused. Men very much liked what they could get for free. He supposed if she really wanted something to disapprove of, he could oblige ... but he was pretty sure there was a "no sex in the hallway" clause in his lease. Sliding his fingertips along her arms, his fingers wrapped around her wrists and removed her arms from around his neck.
Releasing only one wrist, he tugged her back toward his flat. Passing Gertrude, he waggled his eyebrows at her as he passed. "Nice talking to you. If you'll excuse me I'm going to take her clothes off and have some free sex." Smirking at her, he closed the door on her surprised face. At the very least she'd have something to talk about with her nosy friends for the next week.
