Who: Elliot Monroe (Orion) and Ana DePaolo (3rd Dancing Princess) What: Date again! Illegal after-hours aquarium hijinks Where: New England Aquarium When: around 11:30pm Wednesday night
Elliot had probably been drunk at a party once when Manda had mentioned to him that she worked at an aquarium, and that she went there sometimes after hours and went swimming. He didn't actually think it was possible for her to get him in, much less him and his date, but his friend obliged. Okay, she wasn't really his friend... more like an acquaintence. Wasn't she dating Alicia's brother or something? He didn't care. Elliot wasn't interested in detailing the events or circumstances that lead him to where he was right now: sitting on the edge of a glowing tropical aquarium, wearing only his swim trunks. In fact, his mind was preoccupied by the very attractive girl sitting next to him.
Ana had come through with the purple bikini, and it looked amazing. Elliot watched as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail, and just couldn't stop thinking about kissing her in the treehouse. He wasn't that much of a horn dog, honestly, but... she'd made an impression on him. Maybe because he had to work so hard to get that first kiss -- now he was determined to get a follow-up.
It was the Great Barrier Reef exhibit, complete with walls of rubber coral. Thankfully, this was the one without the sharks. Honestly, if Elliot saw a shark, he'd probably piss himself. Not terribly good for the fish, or to be seen by a girl he was still trying to impress. But honestly, swimming at the aquarium? He hoped she was impressed by that.
He dipped a toe into the water, and giggled like an excited kid. "You're not gonna believe how warm this water is," he said, lowering himself into the tank as a few startled fish darted away.
