FIVE – 11:53:18 AM

"I think I'm hungry again."

"I am too." I looked at my watch. "Oh, it's lunchtime, that's why. I remember the tour guide saying that they have some restaurants on the second floor."

I'm really hungry too and I need some recharging, probably to sit down for the next half hour. The whole morning was a great experience overall and luckily, no aquarium glass has cracked or whatsoever. We're safe. The couple's promo that this guy bought included some interactions with the marine animals and I enjoyed that, too. Especially that we got to feed some fishes.

I was always uncomfortable with the idea of anything that involves deep waters, until now, but I really enjoyed every minute I got to see all the marine life in this park. This guy's presence helped, too. At least I was assured that if any glass broke, I will not be drowning by myself.

Part of the restaurant on the second floor was a leg-deep, pool-like section where you can dip your toes and the freshwater fishes called Garra rufa can give you a pedicure. This guy was again, with the little boy inside him showing, excited for that and immediately told the hostess of the restaurant that we will do that.

The food here was delicious and it was vegan. I never knew vegetables and other crops can taste just like meat and it was amazing.

I thought this whole aquarium experience would be somehow awkward because we wouldn't have anything to talk about or something like that, but I was dead wrong. This guy can really be the perfect escort to any dates and you wouldn't be bored or feel a single dull moment. Plus, his boyish excitement was enough to keep you wanting to continue. It's like having a satisfied feeling that you're making a kid happy.

But, of course, I wouldn't call him kid in his face because he still looks like an asshole when he grins to tease me.

Actually, if someone told me that I will get to experience this and enjoy this and, above all of it, with a guy? I would never have believed them. But I'm glad I'm really here now.

"Penny for your thoughts, dummy? You're awfully silent."

"I'm just thinking about how I will make those fish eat your feet instead of just cleaning them."

He gave me an exaggerated, offended look that looked so funny that I laughed out so loud it took the other diners' attention. He grins at me before helping me apologize to people.

"I should get paid. I'm making you laugh like that." He confidently said as if taking all the credits of all my laughs with him.

I shrug and grins at him, too. "Let's just go with the fish pedicure so that the fishes can eat your feet."

The fish pedicure was like a massage and I can't really explain the feeling except that it tickles me but not too much that it makes me laugh. It was very relaxing and so is watching this guy enjoy himself.

It was the first time I had the chance to look at this guy—and I mean really look at him.

I can recall calling him a model that stepped out of a magazine. That was with a dim lighting and now that I see him in this well-lighted place, a model doesn't even give him justice. I can't think of the rightest word to describe him aside from beautiful. He is a very beautiful man. Though he has his own quirks and perverted moments, I can see why the girls fancy him like what they are doing now.

I still don't know where he came from and how come he is here because we haven't touched that subject again. I know this is all happening because of my wish but... does this mean that he isn't real? Is he just literally someone "created" for this wish to come true?

His jacket changed again and I don't know how he did it. I swear he was wearing a coat when we got here.

At first look, you would immediately have the impression that he is a bad boy kind of guy. Maybe it's his intense eyes that gives him away like that. Then you will see him grinning and you will think that "ah, this guy is up to no good". He really has that mischievous aura whenever he grins playfully. He also has his boyish side that never fails to make him look like a kid that is excited for everything.

And his lips...

I don't want to continue staring at him now.

"Why did you stop?" He asked, smirking. "If you started a little longer, I'd say you have finally fallen for me. I'm handsome like that you know." He winks—again!

"Ha! As if!" I wanted to say something witty back at him but I really couldn't.

I felt my face getting warm and I couldn't look at him. WHY IS MY HEART BEATING LIKE THIS AGAIN?!

I hear him laugh. "Oh come, dummy, just tell me my charms have finally worked on you and it's only been more or less twelve hours. You can ask for a kiss now and I'll gladly give it to you. Just say you like me."

When I faced him again and was about to say my comeback for his teasing, two girls came to us and excitedly went to this guy. I don't know why on Earth I am suddenly not in the mood. The girls were even pretty but it was as if their beauty didn't appeal to me. I'm irritated without any reason and I really mean irritated at these girls.

I was ready to excuse myself to the restroom when the girls started asking for pictures until this guy immediately grabs me and places his arm on my shoulders. He grins and looks at me.

"Sorry, ladies, my wifey here is already jealous as it is. I'm sure you'll find the right guy you can have pictures with."

With disappointed pouts and protests, I thought the girls would leave us be; but then another set of girls came and asked if what he is saying is true or he is just making this cover up to avoid them. I don't really understand why these girls are all suddenly aggressive towards getting what they want. Have they forgotten about respect and privacy?

What if this guy is truly a celebrity or something?!

I can feel this guy's hold of me tightens. He's smiling at these girls but I can see how he is already uncomfortable.

This must be destined to be the craziest day of my life because I don't know what has gotten into me...

Pulling this guy to face me, I cupped his cheeks with both of my hands and—

I never knew I'd be experiencing how soft this guy's lips are.
