Chapter 126 - Makai – Date Night Part 2

~~

Makai

~~

Ocean took me by the hand and led me from the restaurant after he paid the bill. I had almost asked him how he was affording this since he didn't work, but then I remembered the cash prizes that we won in the competition, and I knew exactly what he was doing. He was spending his winnings on me. That was really sweet and thoughtful of him.

Once we were back in the car, I looked around us eagerly. I was starting to get excited about where my boyfriend had chosen to take me for the next stop on our date.

When we pulled into the parking lot of the next place, I was both shocked and felt vaguely amused because I should have expected something like this.

"The aquarium, huh? That is so 'dating sim' of you."

"W..wh..wh..what are you talking about?" He turned crimson when he heard my words.

"I just mean that this is such a 'dating sim' thing to see." I chuckled at his floundering.

"Hey, some of those games have a really good-.. I mean, no it's not. It's nothing like that at all."

"Uh huh." I wanted to call him out on his slip up but I didn't, that wouldn't be nice at all.

"Wait, if you know it's a 'dating sim' thing then you have to have played them too!" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"I never said that I didn't. I just found it cute, that's all." I unbuckled myself and started to get out of the car, prompting him to follow suit and get out of the car with me. "I was just pointing out that this is a situation that you see the MCs go on in the stories."

"W..w..well, I..I..I just r..r..really wanted t..t..t..to g..g..go here w..w..w..with you." I noticed that Ocean's head was lowered and he was looking up at me through his long and beautiful eyelashes, OK that was fucking cute as hell.

"And I am glad. I like the aquarium. So come on, let's go." I took his hand and we walked inside together.

Ocean had even prepaid for our tickets to this place. He was really doing everything he could to make this perfect for us through and through.

There were many different parts of the aquarium. We walked slowly through the halls with the smaller tanks first. There we saw a variety of different types of fish. There were clownfish, angelfish, yellow tangs, corral beauties, blennies, mollies, butterflyfish, cardinal fish, and so many more. They were all beautiful and I was having a good time.

"Your scales are cuter than that one." I pointed to a really pretty clownfish that was swimming by, and I heard Ocean gasp before he turned to look around. He saw the same thing that I knew though, there was no one else around us right now. We were in a secluded corner.

"Y..y..yeah, w..w..well, y..your merman hair is redder than that fish over there. A..a..and I think your r..r..red is w...w..way b..b..better." It had taken a lot for him to say that in public and I wanted to reward him for it.

"Is that so, baby?" I leaned in toward him a little.

"Y..yeah b..b..babe, i..it is." Good, he responded just like I wanted him to. I gave him his reward, a quick peck of a kiss right on his surprised lips.

"Good."

I pulled him along behind me as he recovered from our hidden moment. I was still walking slowly as I looked at the fish and I came across a small white fish swimming in some kelp. I couldn't help it.

"This one reminds me of you." I told him with a smile.

"Really? Why?" He was staring at it trying to figure it out.

"Well, for one it's scales are white like yours. And for two, the kelp that it's swimming in makes me think of your dress."

"What?" He said that a little louder than I think he meant to. His words echoed through the nearly silent halls.

"Shh." I put a finger to my lips and almost laughed out loud at his outburst.

"What the hell?" He whispered back at me as he looked into the tank.

"What? I personally love that dress. It left nothing to the imagination and offered me some easy access. To me, that made it perfect."

"You're a dick." He shook his head, but I saw that he was smiling as he walked away. He knew that I was right, and we had both enjoyed our time in the water that day.

We continued our date from there. We would point out fish and make a joke about how it resembled either of us in one way or another. It was a fun way to continue it all. I didn't want this night to end, but we had reached the end of our tour and there was nothing left for us to see.

When we left the aquarium, it was already getting dark outside. I thought the night would be over after that, but I was wrong.

"Let's get some ice cream." Ocean took my hand and led me toward the car.

"Do you want to get here or back home?"

"Here, I don't want to go back to hiding yet." There was excitement in his voice when he spoke, but I couldn't understand why just yet.

"What do you mean? I mean I know that we hide and all at school, but we're just getting ice cream."

"I know, but I can't do this back home." With those words he pushed me against the car and kissed me. It wasn't a long kiss, but it was heated and full of passion. And it ended way too soon for my liking. "I've been wanting to do that all day." He grinned and stepped away from me as he got into the car. "Come on, it's time for dessert."

"I'd say it is." I grinned and walked to my door to get in. "Can we just have more of that for dessert?"

"You can't eat a kiss." He laughed at me.

"No, but I can eat you." I made my voice seductive and wiggled my eyebrows.

"Oh, just shut up. Let's get some real dessert to give us energy for what you want, you perv." He was doing his best not to laugh as he ignored me.

"Now, that is what I am talking about."

"What do you want?" Ocean asked me as he stood in front of the menu. "I'm just getting a chocolate cone. That's what I am in the mood for."

"You know what I am in the mood for." I joked with him. "But since that is definitely not on the menu, I will settle for getting chocolate cherry sundae." I leaned in close to his ear and made a crude joke. "You should know that I like cherries, since I took yours."

"M..M..M..Makai!?" He whispered my name and I winked at him. "I fucking hate you sometimes." His face was flaming red. "Order my ice cream, I am going to sit over there."

"Haha, alright. I'm sorry." I laughed it off as he went to sit at a bench on the sand facing the water.

A few moments later I joined him on the bench, my sundae in one hand and his cone in the other.

"Here." I was feeling a little ashamed of myself right now as he took the dessert from my hand. "I'm sorry." I saw that his face turned red again as he remembered what I said.

"I..i..it's fine." It clearly wasn't. "Just d..d..dr..drop it."

"OK." I would do as he told me.

I couldn't help but watch him as I ate my ice cream. His mouth moving and his tongue coming out as he licked the side of the ice cream before it melted.

"Is it bad that I am jealous of your dessert right now?" I laughed as I felt myself harden a little.

"You idiot. Yes it is. This is food. It's not anything like that."

"I know, but you look so sexy eating it. I want to feel your tongue on me instead.

"Sh..sh..shut up." He was blushing again. "Dammit." He hid his face and turned away from me.

"What's wrong?" I was worried that I went too far.

"Now you got me wanting it, and my face is so red that I am melting my ice cream." I chuckled at his words. He was so fucking cute.

"I will give it to you later, I promise. I leaned in closer to him and rested my shoulder on his while we ate.

When we were driving home, Ocean made a detour. Instead of heading back to our place, he turned toward the beach.

"There is one more thing that I want to do." He said as he pulled into a familiar parking spot. "Come on." With that he got a blanket from the backseat and led the way to his spot on the beach. We had been here before, a few times, but we hadn't been here since the day we officially started dating. I wonder if he came here today on purpose.

"Let's sit here for a little bit." He had the blanket spread out and was sitting before I even got to where he was.

"So, what's up with the blanket?" I asked him as I sat beside him.

"I just didn't want to get our clothes dirty." He was smirking like there was more to it than that.

"OK." I let it slide and turned to look at the water. I was waiting for his next move.
