The fishes glistened under the LED lights, Jon was very fascinated.

I held Leo close to my chest, such a soft material and the first ever gift I've gotten from Jon actually.

He touched the glass like a 5 year old, his eyes scanned every scale.

While he was distracted by the amazing creatures, I read more information about sharks.

"Hey!" Jon sneaked up behind me, he reached over to grab Leo.

He took the plush and gave it small kisses.

"You wanna go see the eels Mr.Leo?" He asked the dolphin in a kiddish voice, I chuckled.

"Oh I would love too!" Jon pretended to be Leo, and that went on for about 5 minutes until I gave in.

We walked hand in hand to the eels, they scare the living crap out of me. Their sharp teeth, and disgusting eyes stare at me as I observe them swim towards the bottom of the tank. Jon wrapped his arm around, I gave him a small smile ensuring him that I'm okay, for now.

Luckily Leo is here to comfort me while I scream internally.

Jon wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me in tighter and stuffing his face into my neck.

"Jon, there are kids here!"

I whispered, he gave a small moan. Pushing him off I stomped out of the eel area, who does he think he is.

Even though we're engaged I don't think I'm comfortable with being touchy touchy.

"Hey!" Jon shouted, I quickly walked off trying to get away as far away as I can without causing any head turning from the people at the aquarium trying to enjoy the sea creatures.

Jon caught up with me and looked down at his feet.

"I'm sorry about what I did back there, if you want to leave we can go somewhere else." He mumbled.

"it's alright, jackass." I said, Jon looked up with the biggest smile on his face. He hooked our arms together and made me skip towards the sharks. Sometimes I wonder if Jon is either 22 or 6 years old.

He put his face against the glass, separating him and this giant Great White Shark named Tony.

Tony swam very slow, it also had it's eyes on only one person, Jon.

"Jon I don't think Tony likes you."

I tried pushing Jon away from the glass, but he was too fascinated by this giant animal.

Tony situated itself right in front of Jon, I backed up and sat on the bench right behind him. Tony doesn't look so happy by the way his eyes are glued to Jon's face.

"Jon." I warned him.

"Wh-" Tony snapped on the glass, which caused him to crash and startle Jon.

Jon turned around and tripped on my foot, I opened my arms and caught him. Causing us to fall onto the floor. I stared at Jon, he was trying to catch his breath from the incident.

His pupils dilated, and he leaned in. In that exact moment, our lips joined. I closed my eyes, enjoying the warmth of his lips against mine.

Jon ran his hand up my neck, bringing me closer to him. I gave a small moan, but pulled away when I realized that we were in a public place which means there might be kids watching. Jon couldn't stop looking at my lips, he wanted more of me and I felt the same way but right now isn't exactly the right time.

"I'm sorry," Jon climbed off of me.

I picked myself off the ground, and straightened up my jeans. We stood there in silence.

"I..... didn't mean to kiss.... you." Jon quietly stammered as he crossed his arms, staring at his feet.

"Shut up." I said, walking away.

Apparently he doesn't know what 'taking it slow' means. It's like I'm dealing with a 10 year old here.
