Y/n pov:

I woke up to the gentle melody of birds chirping outside my window, a soft breeze rustling the curtains.

Today felt different, special even, as if the world itself was holding its breath in anticipation. With a flutter of excitement in my chest, I threw back the covers and greeted the day.

Breakfast was a simple affair of oatmeal and fruit, though my stomach felt more like a whirlpool of nerves than a place for food.

Each bite seemed to stick in my throat as I mulled over what lay ahead – a date with Jude, someone who had quickly become more than just a friend.

After breakfast, I made my way to the bathroom to begin my morning routine. I brushed my teeth with meticulous care, trying to calm the jittery feeling in my stomach. Today was important, and I wanted everything to be perfect.

As I stood in front of my closet, a wave of indecision washed over me. What does one wear to a casual yet fancy date?

After what felt like an eternity of deliberation, I settled on a floral sundress paired with white sneakers. It was the perfect blend of comfort and style, or so I hoped.

With my outfit decided, I moved on to my hair and makeup, my hands trembling slightly as I applied each stroke of mascara and dab of lip gloss. I wanted to look my best for Jude, to make a good impression and maybe even steal his breath away.

Just as I finished my makeup, my phone buzzed with a message from Jude. My heart skipped a beat as I read his words: "I'm waiting outside."

Taking a deep breath to steady my nerves, I grabbed my purse and headed out the door. And there, leaning against a balck BMW car with an easy smile on his face, was Jude. He looked effortlessly handsome in an oversized light blue jeans and a crisp white shirt, the epitome of casual yet stylish.

Sensing the nerves that still lingered within me, he reached out and pulled me into a gentle hug.

My heart skipped a beat as I felt Jude's arms wrap around me, his embrace warm and comforting. Despite my best efforts to remain composed, I couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness coursing through my veins.

When we finally pulled apart, Jude looked at me with genuine admiration shining in his eyes. "You look absolutely stunning today, as always." he said softly, his words sending a shiver down my spine.

I blushed slightly at his compliment, my cheeks tinged with a delicate shade of pink. "Thank you. You don't look bad yourself" I murmured shyly, unable to meet his gaze.

Jude chuckled softly, a playful glint dancing in his eyes. "Did you do it all for me?" he teased, nudging me gently with his elbow.

I blush deepened at his words, my embarrassment evident as I tried to brush off his comment. " S-stop it Jude," I replied, my voice barely above a whisper as I focused on anything but Jude's teasing gaze.

But Jude just laughed, his laughter warm and infectious. With a gentle smile, he opened the car door for me, gesturing for me to climb in.

I thanked him and climbed into the black car.

Once we were both seated in the back seats – a reminder that Jude couldn't drive – I couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

Jude just grinned mischievously, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "It's going to be a surprise." And with that, we set off into the unknown, my heart racing with anticipation for the adventure that lay ahead.

After a 20 minute ride the car came to a stop, my eyes widened with excitement as I glanced outside the window. Before I stood the entrance to an aquarium, its colorful displays beckoning my with promises of underwater wonders.

Turning to Jude with a bright smile, I could hardly contain my oy. "You brought me to the aquarium?" I exclaimed, my voice filled with delight.

Jude grinned back at me, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "I remember it's your ideal date," he said, his hand reaching out to gently intertwine with mine.

Feeling a rush of warmth at his gesture, I squeezed his hand in return, my heart fluttering with happiness. "Thank you," I whispered, unable to hide the gratitude in her voice.

As we climbed out of the car, I made sure to thank the driver before turning my attention back to Jude. With a soft smile, he led me towards the entrance, his touch gentle yet reassuring.

Jude leaned in close, his voice low and intimate. "We have three hours here, just the two of us," he murmured, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.

My heart skipped a beat at his words, my cheeks flushing with anticipation. With a playful glint in my eye, I grinned back at him. "Sounds perfect," I replied, my excitement bubbling over as we continued our adventure together, lost in each other's company amidst the wonders of the aquarium

As we stepped into the aquarium, I felt my heart flutter with excitement, my hand nestled securely in Jude's. The soft glow of the tanks illuminated our path.

Jude's eyes gleamed with wonder as he took in the colorful array of marine life, his gaze shifting from one mesmerizing exhibit to the next. I couldn't help but be captivated by the awe in his expression, feeling my own heart swell with affection.

Hand in hand, we explored the depths of the ocean, marveling at the intricate beauty of each creature they encountered. We laughed as we watched the playful dance of the jellyfish and gasped in awe at the majesty of the sharks gliding gracefully past.

As we stood before the towering tank of tropical fish.

Jude's voice broke through my reverie, his words filled with wonder. "It's like stepping into another world," he whispered, his eyes alight with excitement.

I nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of connection with him that transcended words. With each shared glance and tender touch, our bond grew stronger, rooted in the magic of the underwater world.

When we reached the end of the aquarium we stopped. I turned to Jude with a soft smile. "Thank you for bringing me here," I said, my voice filled with love.

Jude slowly leaned down and planted a soft kiss on her forehead, his lips lingering for a moment against my skin.

My cheeks flushed with warmth at the tender gesture, my heart skipping a beat at the gentle touch of his lips.

"It was my pleasure," he replied. I looked up at him with a soft smile, feeling a rush of love wash over me.

"Are you tired?" Jude asked, his voice filled with concern as he brushed a stray strand of hair away from my face.

I shook my head, my eyes sparkling with happiness. "Not at all," I replied, my gaze locked with his as I enjoyed the moment between us.

Jude's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Good, because I still have other plans for us," he said, his voice filled with anticipation as he took my hands in his once more.

We made our way out of the aquarium hand in hand, the world around us fading away as we focused on each other.

As wr reached the waiting car, the driver held the door open for us with a smile. Jude helped me into the car, his touch gentle yet reassuring as we settled into the backseat together.

With a playful glint in my eye, Y/n couldn't resist asking, "Where are we going now?"

Jude just smiled, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "It's a surprise," he replied, his voice filled with love as he leaned in to press a soft kiss to my cheek.

Wrapped in each other's embrace, we set off into the unknown, our hearts overflowing with love and anticipation for the adventures that lay ahead.
