BRYSON KNIGHT POV~
"ready to go?" I put my arms around Pearl and she laughed and said 'yes.'
We enter the sea world
Yep! I bring her to Sea World. I remember she loves fish so I brought her here. After our small get-together at midnight we come back to our Penthouse at 2 AM, and at 8 AM I introduce her to the staff of the shop. Now we are here in NEW YORK AQUARIUM, my hand around her shoulders wearing casual clothes bodyguards following from a distance.
We looked around different fish habitats. Pearl was like dancing like a child
"-27, 28 humm... I lost the count Brysy!" she said childishly.
"come on Pear Bear, there are lots of things to see. You can't just count the fishes because there are more than 100 fish in each tank," I said
"more than 100 in a single tank?" she asks as her eyes widen in shock
"yes, come here and see this," I said
"boy I didn't see... look it's so so small not even the size of my pinkie nail," she said in amazement.
"It is the world's smallest fish 'minnow' they found in southeast Asia," I said. Her eyes widened.
"how do you know?" she asks
"my girlfriend loves fish, so I do some research on fishes," I said scratching the back of my neck nervously
"Awww so cute," she said kissing my cheeks. 'don't blush Bryson' I remind myself
"aww did you just blush?" she asks grinning at me
"shut up," I said as we walkout
"Aqua-theater!" Pearl shouted pointing toward the sea lion show which had almost started
"come on let's go there before the show starts," I said taking her hands
-
"That was amazing," she said after we exit seeing the sea lions show
"Yeah, you like it?" I asked as she was laughing like crazy
"nope! I love it! You see the way they clap that was so lovely," she said grinning at me
"let's eat something then we can continue," I said looking at the watch as it was almost lunchtime.
"Okay, but then we are going to see penguins," she said
"fine," I said. After eating with turtles means looking at turtles while eating burgers we go to see penguins.
"They are so cute," Pearl said
"not cute as you," I said looking at her
"Stop watching me and see there," she said glaring at me and pointing towards penguin birds
"they are meaningless in front of you," I said where she rolls her eyes
But I didn't miss the blush
-
"come on let's go to the shark tunnel," I said as she doesn't want to leave spineless animals. Yeah, we are now looking at spineless aquatic animals. She keeps looking at the Chrysaora hysoscella
"you know in shark tunnel you will see batoids, stinger-"
"stingray really?" she asks cutting me as I nodded "let's go." now she drags me out of spineless as we enter the shark tunnel.
"Wow... it's so beautiful," Pearl said looking at the shark tunnel as we roamed around
"come on sit here," I said sitting in front of Hudson Canyon's edges
"God I'm tired," she said sitting beside me putting her head on my shoulders.
"me too," I said taking out my phone again
"no Bry you already took so many pictur-" she said but I clicked more pictures as she glared at me.
"it's just one thousand four hundred and twenty-two now three," I said clicking another picture
"You are crazy," she said
"no, you are the one who keeps looking at moon jell-"
"-Chrysaora hysoscella-" she said cutting me
"yeah, for more than half an hour without talking to me," I said with a pout where she laughed.
"well you are such a child Brysy," she said pulling my cheeks. "come on let's go to the gift shop," she said
"no," I said as she pulled my cheeks
"This will make you look funnier," she said again pulling my cheeks
"stop," I said holding her hand as she kept pulling my cheeks
"fine then let's go, please? then we can go home," she said
"Home?" I ask in confusion
"Your penthouse silly, come on," she said dragging me out of the shark tunnel. I feel so blessed when she calls my penthouse 'home'.
"Bryson are you listening?" she asks
"what?" I ask
"I'm asking what I should buy?" she asks looking at the shop confusedly.
"Whatever you want," I said "how about this," I said pulling out two cute penguin key chains.
"penguin key chain," she asks
"don't worry I will not call you Pear Penguin so I'm gonna buy these two for you," I said.
"what do I buy for you?" she asks looking around
"you don't nee-"
"found it!" she said pulling out a turtle tea mug. Just great turtle!
"Wha-" I cut off when I listen to a familiar laugh or should I say a group of laughs.
"what are you guys doing here?" I ask glaring at them
"s.orr..y....it.s..just...fun-"
"Okay! Okay, first stop laughing Zach," I said to Zach as they sober up I raised my eyebrow.
"It was Natalie's idea," Zach said pointing toward her
"no it was Xavier Bro," she said pointing toward Xavier
"Trust me it was them," Xavier said pointing toward Zach and Natalie
"but it's totally worth it," Zach said looking at the mug
"Yeah, we just saw Pea buying a turtle shape mug for you Turtle Bry bro," Natalie said grinning at me.
"what are you guys doing here?" I ask them ignoring that turtle line Natalie just said 'well I'm not a turtle'.
"hmm.. just checking the stuff?" Zach awkwardly said it sounded more like a question
"well, then why don't you guys join us for dinner-"
"no.. they are busy," I said cutting Pearl and giving them a death glare
"yeah we are busy.. let's go," Xavier suggests "well Pearl nice gift," winking at her before leaving.
"come on let's buy them," Pearl said dragging me towards the cash counter and giving them the keyring and the mug.
"you are really buying that for me?" I ask in annoyance
"yep! it's cute," she said grinning at me
"Then how about I buy a shark keyring for you?" I ask playfully narrowing my eyes. I know she doesn't like sharks because of the stupid reason of 'shark eating beautiful and cute fishes.'
"I don't care what you buy for me because everything you buy for me is special, it makes me feel special," she said with a smile that made my heart melt. I feel like I'm falling for her again and again.
"thank you," I said kissing her cheeks as her face heated up
"for what?" she asked in confusion
"for buying me this cup," I said as we paid for each other's gift exiting the shop

PEARL WINSTON POV~
"Bry?" I ask as I didn't find him in the kitchen today is his turn to make dinner.
After coming from Coney Island, I took a nap as I was tired. Now I'm searching for Bryson to help him with making dinner 'I know he is tired too' thinking that I was about to start cooking.
"stop!"
I jump up putting my hand on my chest
"you scared me, Bryson," I said glaring at him
"Sorry," he said "now come let's eat dinner together, I already made it," he said taking my hand and walking towards the stairs
"where are you taking me?" I ask as we start walking towards the top floor. I never went there it was always locked
"Rooftop," he said he opened the door and my eyes widened in surprise
"Wow," I said looking at the rooftop
It was like I walked and saw six big frames of my childhood, three right and three on the left side, there was an outdoor fish tank in between, and walking out there was a beautiful outdoor garden. There was a table set in between the circle garden with candles and food.
But I was sucked seeing my childhood pictures which uncle Jacob and aunt Cathay take from time to time. There was a picture of me drawing on Bryson's face when he was sleeping, sitting on the swing together, I falling on Bryson when he scared me, watching tv sitting on Bryson's lap, me on Bryson's top kissing his cheeks on the beach and the last one was of our first kiss.
"our first kiss picture that Hunter bro took," Bryson's voice broke my thoughts
"he was an amazing photographer," I said tracing the picture
"he was but I think our first kiss was amazing so the picture," Bryson said grinning at me where I blush
"I'm hungry," I said going towards the table he set
"wait," he said then pulled out a chair for me "now take a seat," he said
"Such a charmer," I said sarcastically.
"come on I made it by myself," he said pointing towards baked eggplant parmesan
"Really?" I ask
"really," he said as we dug in I moan taking the first bite
"God this is so yummy!" I said and took another bite
"well thank you .....so how was your first date?" he asks while eating
"it was amazing everything the Coney island trip the aquarium especially spineless fishes, cute penguins also the sea lions show als-"
"take a deep breath Pear we have all the time," he said cutting me
"Sorry I just got excited," I said sheepishly
"well continue," he said taking another bite
"you know when King's sibling shows up when I buy that turtle mug that wa-"
"Okay okay don't start laughing," he said as I tried to control my laugh but ended up laughing he also join
"but seriously this is the best part why don't you bring me here first?" I ask looking around the rooftop.
"because I want to bring you on a special occasion and today is," he said
"but this is the best day of my life," I said "but can I ask you a question?" I asked him
"shoot,"
"why do Natalie and Zach call you to turtle?" I ask trying not to smile looking at his horror face.
"hmm.. well, first promise me you will not laugh," he said pulling out his pinky
"sorry first I have to listen what if it was funny and I can't control my laugh," I said
"then I'm not going to tell you," he said with a pout
"fine I will ask the-"
"no!! I'm telling," he said "well when we were in high school, I lost the bet of winning a basketball match against Zach and I had to dress in a turtle and twerk slowly in front of the whole cafeteria. I thought no one recognized me who I was but one of the jocks removed my mas-" before he finishes I bust out into laughter.
"sor..ry," I said trying to sober up
"It was so embarrassing I can't even tell you. When Natalie saw that video she started making fun of me calling me a slow turtle," he said looking away as his face turns red. Even in the dark, I can see his red face
"it was a funny slow turtle," I said standing up and ruffling his hair
"shut up that was embarrassing," he said
"aww really then tell me less embarrassing stories of your high school," I said with a grin.
"you really want to know?" he asks turning toward me
"Yep!" I said "I want to learn more things about your life when I was not here,"
"so let me tell you as Zach was a nerd he was-"
"wait a minute Zach was a nerd?" I ask in shock "then how did he become 'FOODIE PLAYBOY BILLIONAIRE'??!"
"yes he was a nerd and about becoming a foodie playboy billionaire, that's his story to tell," he said seriously. I nodded.
Then he starts telling me lots of embarrassing stories about Zach and Natalie
"what about Xavier?" I ask finishing my food
"he was a playboy once he forgot-"
"Xavier and Playboy?" I ask. "I can't believe I haven't seen him flirting with any girl he looks like a saint," I said remembering the time of a mall trip when some saleswomen tried to flirt with him but he behaved like they didn't exist.
"saint really? and yeah he was a playboy but he changed after- after.. hmm.."
"don't tell, I know it's his story to tell," I said taking his hands "you know you look tired let me give you a head massage, let's go inside," I said as we cleaned up the table.
"The date is incomplete without wine," Bryson said as we entered the kitchen
"I don't like wine," I said
"Yeah, I know, how about a cold drink for you?" he asks pulling out a bottle of wine.
"no! I don't want any drink I'm full you can have wine," I said. He nodded and put the bottle back.
"then I will also not drink wine now my head massage?" he asks as I nodded feeling so bad looking at his tired sleepy face as he plans this whole day for me
"Come," I said as I gave him a head massage, he fell asleep on my lap.
I kissed his forehead trying to move but his hold was tight so I gave up.
