Outing 3

(Edited)

Small jellyfishes with electrifying colours seemed to fly in the crystal blue water encased beyond the glass. The aquarium was an underwater reserve where a person can visit and see to the depth of the sea without disturbing the ecological balance.

Roxanne even had her face glued to the glass looking at the stingray that seemed to smile at her while rotating round and round with its group of similar sting-rays following it as if a group of ocean police officers were on a inspection. The thought made the girl giggle before she pulled Darius' hand leading to further inside to see the dolphins.

Her love for those beautiful creatures could be described by the cute pink dolphin hat that she had bought from nearby store before coming here, it made the serene nymph stand out from the rest of the population as she explained Darius the name of each of the species from the guidebook Darius had purchased her along with a packet of animal food.

There were dolphins, small goldfishes and even some octopus that seemed to be vibrant even though they hid in the coral reefs playing hide and seek with the green irises of the angel.

"Daddy look! those are baby turtles. Mom gifted me one of those when I was thirteen, it was a timid and shy sweetheart so I loved it but just like I love my mum I thought the baby turtle too would miss her turtle mum so I released it later in the sea."

"My babydoe is adorable. Say baby as soon as we get out of here, how about I buy you a gift for your good manners?"

"Is it a reward daddy?" Roxanne looked at Darius who was much calmer than the time he sent her away from Noah, recalling the creepy man Roxanne could only shudder thus making Daruis taking off his coat then wrapping her body with it.

"Hmm..Silly baby, you will catch cold, the underwater reserves are usually kept cool so have this"

After that Darius held Roxanne palm guiding her through the various levels of the underground oceanic park describing the importance of each animal and how they were unique thus making the soft girl realize that the federal judge had a vast knowledge and was only keen to listen to her because he loved her voice and no matter what, even if she would speak all gibberish...he would still listen attentively.

"Roe baby, we are going to watch the seals from a distance so now you can take out the animal food and be ready to feed your water friends in the area specified, alright?"

"Yes daddy." Roxanne was already bouncing on her feet, excited to meet the adorable seals and also looking forward to what Darius would gift her thus she practically glowed with happiness making the man pull her closer to him.

As soon as the kind hearted beauty reached the sand beach which was near to the exit, loads of baby seals surrounded her, bombarding the girl with their request of food with squishy voices, they looked at her with big round eyes making Roxanne open the wrapper of the food and feed them one by one.

It made her look less like a human and more like an ethereal mermaid with angelic aura thus the unaware girl made people stop in their tracks to watch her laugh merrily along with the baby seals giving her an aura of an ethereal nymph that was beyond this world.

Darius clutched the girl closer noticing many eyeing his Roe yet when she looked back at him with the joyful smile, rays of warm sun falling on her frame glowing like a sunflower the man could not help but order his bodyguards to scatter and pull the girl along with him to the car.

"D-Daddy.....why did you pulled me inside, what-"

His both warm palms cupped her face to stop her words before molding her plump red lips with his own passionate ones. It seemed as if he was possessed by the way he kissed her with dominance yet love till both of them could practically not breathe.

Teary eyes clouded by mist of longing looked at him as she sat on his lap inside the car, seeking answers in his electrifying silver irises that glimmered making him the most handsome man she had ever seen.

"Oh baby" there was a kiss again and again followed by his lips seeking comfort on her cheeks, nose and then her forehead, covering every inch of her soul in his warmth. His hand guided her palm over his heart.

"Do you feel this little princess, see how fast my heart beats for you darling. Don't smile at me so sweetly my doe or I might die with how your essence is dissolving in my senses as an aphrodisiac.

Roe I need to hold you near alright? hold you so close and never let go....do you know how lucky I feel in your presence baby." His kisses descended down her neck as he breathed in her, every touch seemed to ignite their skin as if flames of pure love was bursting through them.

"Roxanne......I really love you." She loved him nonetheless, there were no words to justify her feelings.

What he whispered was even not understandable to him, so lost in her that he forgot the time, holding her close in his lap the couple stayed like that for along time as the sky changed from an evening hue to the starry night before Darius remembered his promise thus driving to the place nearby.

"Babydoe, do you still remember your gift? Come with me inside."

'Derry's' the letters were italicized and formed a big banner representing a toy shop that the beautiful nymph ran to reach thus leading to a small scolding by Darius.

The female worker at the shop smiled at her kindly looking as if they were waiting for both of them since long before handing Darius a big bundle that was lightweight yet Darius did not let Roxanne pick it up.

The confused girl followed the man out of the shop before being again seated in the car.

"Open it up baby."
