ANTHEA

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

It was a bright and sunny day when Luciano suggested we go to the aquarium.

"Come on, Anthea, it'll be fun!" he exclaimed with a big grin on his face.

I hesitated for a moment, not really a big fan of aquariums. But seeing how excited he was, I couldn't say no. "Alright, let's go," I replied, giving him a smile and taking his hand.

We made our way to the aquarium, which was just a short drive away from our apartment. As we walked inside, I was immediately greeted by the sight of a huge tank filled with colorful fish. "Wow," I whispered in awe.

Luciano turned to me with a smirk. "See, I told you it would be fun," he said triumphantly.

"Did you know that fish are masters of disguise. In fact, they can change their colors and patterns depending on their surroundings." He says, then continues,"just imagine their finny friends' surprise when they show up to the party looking like a clown fish instead of a plain old guppy." Together we laugh at it.

"I didn't know that you know that much about fishes," I say looking at him.

"Yeah, well growing up I like to read so I know a lot about animals." His voice almost sounded sad.

I followed him as he led me through the different exhibits. We saw all sorts of aquatic creatures, from graceful dolphins to cute penguins. I found myself getting more and more fascinated with each exhibit we visited.

"Look, Anthea, these are sea turtles," Luciano said, pointing to a tank filled with the creatures.

"They're so beautiful," I said, admiring their slow movements.

"Do you have any funny facts about them?" I asked sincerely curious about them.

"So I guess you like me talking about facts." He says wiggling his eyebrows.

"Yes. It's sounds hot. Now tell me!" I demanded.

"So sea turtles are often mistaken for rocks when resting on the shore because they're so still. But they can swim actually very fast. Faster than a human's top speed on land. They are like speed demons," God he is so hot.

Luciano then surprised me by pulling me towards him and planting a kiss on my forehead. "Not as beautiful as you," he whispered, making me blush.

As we continued our tour, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I was to have someone as amazing as Luciano in my life.

"So, what do you think of the aquarium so far?"Luciano asked as we stopped in front of a tank filled with jellyfish.

"It's actually pretty amazing," I replied, watching the jellyfish move around gracefully.

"Right? And there's still so much more to see!" Luciano said excitedly.

I smiled and took his hand. "Lead the way, tour guide," I said playfully.

We went through each exhibit, with Luciano telling me fun facts and trivia about the different creatures we saw. I couldn't believe I was actually enjoying myself at the aquarium.

Finally, we reached the last exhibit - the shark tank. I couldn't help but feel a little nervous as we approached it. "Are we going in there?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.

Luciano chuckled and squeezed my hand reassuringly. "No, don't worry. We're just going to watch from here," he said, motioning to a viewing window.

As we stood in front of the tank, I couldn't take my eyes off the huge sharks swimming around. "They're so majestic," I said in awe.

Luciano wrapped his arm around my waist and rested his chin on my head. "Just like my queen," he said, causing me to giggle.

We watched the sharks for a while, and then Lucaino suddenly turned to me with a serious expression. "Anthea, I have a surprise for you," he said, reaching into his pocket.

My heart started racing as he pulled out a small velvet box. "What is it?" I asked, trying to contain my excitement.

"Open it and see," Luciano said, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

I carefully opened the box, and inside was the most beautiful pearl necklace I had ever seen.

"Oh my god, Luciano, it's gorgeous!" I exclaimed, tears forming in my eyes.

"I'm glad you like it," Luciano said with a smile, taking the necklace and helping me put it on.

With that we left the aquarium, I couldn't believe how perfect the day had been.

"Thank you for the best day ever, Luciano," I said, snuggling into his side as we walked back to our car.
