The next morning, you called Jenna
"Hey! What's up?"

Your heart was beating fast.
"Hey so, I forgot to mention that I get off on Saturdays. "
You started biting your nails, "if you're not busy on Saturday I was wondering if you would want to go to the aquarium with me."
Jenna gasped, "of course! I'll just see if I have work that day. Right now we're just doing some retakes so I doubt it."
You were relieved, "ill just pick you up from the studio around 6."
She answered, "okay! I'll send you the address."
----------
SATURDAY
5:30 PM

you rushed to get ready
you didn't want to wear something too fancy but at the same time not too lazy
just something cute for Jenna

you weren't a big fashionista. you didn't care about your clothes. sometimes ...or almost
all of the time you just wear a shirt & sweatpants when going out

after what felt like hours of rummaging through your closet,
you found an okay outfit
sweatshirt with green pants, plus additional necklaces and your tote bag

you take your pink sugar perfume and sprayed it on your wrists and neck
not only do you have to look good, but you also have to smell good too.
you ran to the bathroom for one last look then ran out your door to her film studio
----------

you arrived at the studio. you called Jenna,
"Hey, I'm here at the entrance."

"Okay, I'm coming!"

a few minutes later you saw her running toward the car
she was wearing a black & white striped turtleneck with black jeans and a white jacket

"your shirt..", you said, "Wednesday influenced your clothing style huh?"

she laughed, "oh shut up."
Jenna looked up & down at you, "you look cute"
"you also."

you opened the door for her and drove to the aquarium
--------

the aquarium was built like a large boat
"Georgia Aquarium" was on the front of the building in red font.

the place was in downtown Atlanta, next to the coca-cola world and the civil rights museum
there were a bunch of restaurants downtown, so there wouldn't be a problem with dinner

"you know,", Jenna started, "since I've been working almost every day here in Atlanta, I've barely explored the place.."
she turned to you and smiled, "I'm glad you're taking me here."
you couldn't help but blush, "I'm just glad I'm with you.

you went inside and you were immediately greeted by the dim blue light.
there weren't too many people in there
you and Jenna saw a bunch of gift shops and each exhibit for each type of sea creature
"we have to visit each exhibit!", Jenna yelled excitedly
"well duh.", you replied

you and Jenna visited every exhibit
penguins, sea lions, dolphins
but there was one particular animal that you were interested in

"oo!", Jenna exclaimed, "look at the seahorses!"
you beamed and read the information about them from their sign

"Unlike most fishes, seahorses mate with one other seahorse for their entire lives. their courtship includes dancing with one another, swimming alongside one another, and spinning around each other.
seahorses die of love. once a mate dies, the other seahorse doesn't take long to die afterward. they cannot live without one another."

"hm, seems like seahorses are the symbol of love.", you said to Jenna

As she was about to reply, she got distracted by another exhibit
"LOOK AT THAT ONE! We have to go!"
she took your hand and yanked you along

you got dragged to one of the biggest exhibits:
the ocean voyager exhibit tunnel

"it's huge!", you exclaimed
luckily, it was just the two of you in the tunnel
"we got it all to ourselves.", Jenna smiled
you walked through the tunnel until Jenna stopped midway to look at one of the fishies
"look at that red one.", Jenna said, turning toward you

the blue light shined on her face
seeing her smile made your heart pound
you both went silent
all you could hear was your and Jenna's breathing

you gently pulled her body close to yours
you tilted her chin up
you both closed your eyes
"I'm doing it..", you thought

you then suddenly felt a light push, making you back away from Jenna.
you slowly opened your eyes

Jenna was on the verge of tears
"Jenna are you-"

she interrupted you, "I'm so sorry, y/n"

she quickly ran off
you yelled her name "JENNA?"

what even happened? what did you do?
