"Ethan come on, it's not that big of a deal." I say.
"No way Paige. I am not swimming with sharks." He replies.
"You admitted that sharks are your biggest fear, now if you want to get back together with me, we are going to go down to the aquarium and you are swimming with the sharks." I exclaim.

He looks at me with disgust.

"I'll do it, only if you do it with me." Ethan says.
"No thanks." I laugh.
"Okay, them I'm not swimming with them."
"I-I, ugh fine." I say.
"So you do want to get back together." Ethan mentions.
"I never said that."
"Yeah, but if you didn't, then you wouldn't have agreed to do this with me." He replies.

I was at a loss for words. It was true. I did want to get back together with Ethan. I missed out breakfasts together, our dates, everything.

"Paige?" Ethan says. "Hello?"
"Yeah, sorry I zoned out." I reply.
"Lets go." He exclaims.

We got into the car with Grayson and Cameron, as well as Evan since he wanted to come with.

"Evan do you want to do it too?" I ask.
"Hell to the no." He says laughing a bit.
"Okay, your going to miss out," I say warily.

I liked how Evan was hanging out with Cameron and Grayson a bit. It was good for him to get to know them more.

"Are you nervous," I ask Ethan.
"No, I'm totally not nervous to get into a tank with sharks and swim around." He replies sarcastically.

Once we got to the aquarium we walked around for a bit.

"Look at the sting rays Evan." Ethan exclaims pointing.

I smile. Ethan was really good with kids and it was nice that he got along with Evan.

"Happy?" Cameron says walking over to me.
"I-I-"
"You know, he talks about you all the time."
"Really?" I ask.
"He never stops. He cares about you so much Paige." She exclaims.

I have a huge grin on my face.

"Come on, let's continue." Grayson says motioning us over.

Cameron nudges me as we walk over and I roll my eyes.

I do like Ethan a lot, but I don't know if it's right for us to be together. Especially when you have someone like Elise around.

We walked into the main part of the aquarium and there was an amazing water feature with so many different fish.

"Can you take an Instagram picture of me?" Ethan asks.
"Yeah sure." I reply.

I snap around 500 until Ethan is happy with one, then he made me take another 500 of him and Grayson. Well that's time I'll never get back.

"Here let me get one of you and the twins." Cameron says pushing me over to Ethan and Grayson.

"Well alright then." I laugh standing in between the two.

We smiled for a few and then we did a silly face.

I saw Grayson whisper something to Ethan and then step out.

"Perfect." Cameron yells.

She takes another couple pictures and we move onto the next exhibit.

I looked at some of the photos that Cam took and they turned out... really nice.

"Look." I say showing Ethan one of the photos of just him and I.
"Couple goals." He says joking.

I just laugh.
