Date – Part ll

He still hadn't told her where they were or what they were going to do until she noticed a sign that said 'Bauernhof hier entlang,' with an arrow pointing to the left. She was intrigued and wanted to know what Onyx had planned, but they had to walk a little further to reach another clearing. (Farm this way,)
There was a large wooden cafe and through the window panes, she could see a large wooden cafe with tables and chairs inside. They walked past it and up to a wooden booth occupied by a woman. There was a huge sign next to it that said, 'Willkommen bei der Dah-Gruppe!'
(Welcome to the Dah-Gruppe!)

She mused quietly as she noticed people gathering baskets and making their way into the farm, as well as families with children and couples returning with full baskets of fruits and vegetables. It was a farm where you could pick your own fruits and vegetables! It was her dream to visit such a farm!
She grinned as she turned to face Onyx, who had already purchased their tickets and picked their baskets while she was sidetracked. "This is absolutely phenomenal!"
"I'm glad you like it." He gave her a loving chuckle as he handed her her basket and led her to the farm.

They were given a map that showed them exactly what fruit and veg were available for picking and where they grew. "Where should we begin?" Ophelia inquired, and he pointed to the first item on their shopping list. Which were cranberries and they headed their first.
They picked them off the vines and placed some in their baskets before moving on to pomegranate trees. They're within reach, and she and Onyx both grab two from the tree before continuing on their way.

There are restrictions on how many items can be taken from each category in order to ensure that there is enough for everyone. While walking around the farm, Ophelia and Onyx laughed and talked.
"All right, next up are the... pears," Onyx informed her as he folded the map again and placed it in his basket.

They arrived at the trees, and Onyx easily picked up two green pears. While Ophelia struggled to reach them despite her 5'8" height, the pears were high up in the branch. Onyx chuckled and wrapped his arm around her waist, effortlessly hoisting her up. He brought her down, peering down at her with a loving smile after she picked up two pears.

He held her close as they walked towards the vegetables. On the way, they picked up mandarins and citrus before she noticed carrots, parsnips, leeks, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potatoes.

She grabbed two of each with the five Brussel sprouts that were the limits and turned to Onyx, who was following her with a half-full basket.
"This is a lot of fun!" She exclaimed with a wide smile, and he returned her smile, his eyes filled with adoration. "I'm glad I chose this place."
"Where are you going next?" He pointed to squash and zucchinis when she inquired.
"Thank you for bringing me here," Ophelia said with a smile, looking up at him, and He kissed her temple firmly before they began walking towards the patch.

They put their baskets beside them and decide which ones are ripe and ready to eat. They grabbed one each, placed it in their baskets, and continued on their way.

They continued on their way, picking up onions, horseradish, and cabbage before consulting the map to see where they should go next. Ophelia pointed at the apple orchard and Onyx nodded as they walked through the farm in search of the orchard. She noticed something red in the distance and pointed it out.
"There! The apple orchard!" They walked to the orchard and picked up apples.

They ate their red apples as they searched for more, spotting Idared apples at the end of the orchard on their way out. Those kinds of apples were green on one side and red on the other, and they picked one for each of them before leaving the farm. They returned to the wooden booth, paying for any extra produce they had picked before leaving their baskets and grabbing the bags the woman had placed their fruits and vegetables in. Onyx took her bag and placed it in the back seat of the car as they walked down the path to the car, before walking around the car to open the passenger door for her. She murmured a small thanks and slipped inside and fastened her seatbelt. He got in and started the car, reversing out of the parking space and driving down the dirt path towards the main road.
"Hungry?" Her stomach growled in response to his question. He chuckled as her cheeks flushed slightly.

They'd stopped at a traditional German restaurant, and after finishing their meal, Onyx had paid the bill, after an argument with Ophelia as of who would pay, of course.

They got into his car, and he drove out onto the road, in the familiar direction of their hotel. There was a slight sadness in her chest as she realised the night was coming to an end.

As he drove, they talked about anything and everything, and she realised how easy it was for her to loosen up around him. Their conversations flowed naturally, and there was no awkward silence.

Warmth poured through the material of her skirt as his fingers wrapped around her thigh and her breathing became slightly faster than usual. She realised she liked his simple gestures of simply caressing her or holding her close. As she gazed out the window, she laid her palm on his, absentmindedly running her thumb across his skin.

When they arrived at their hotel, it was already dark. He pulled up outside the hotel, turned off the engine, and walked over to her side. He took her hand as he opened the door and gently pulled her out. She thanked him before they walked into the hotel.

After they walked in, Onyx shut the door and she turned around to face him. His brown eyes deepen at the rims, an intensity shining brightly within them that made her dizzy. Instead of him taking the step, she pulled herself up and crushed her lips on his, unable to bear it any longer. He quietly groaned and cupped her face with both hands, intensifying the kiss.

She pushed herself closer, forcing him to throw one arm around her waist and hold her fiercely as if he is frightened she will vanish if he does not. His lips were soft and slightly cold due to the chilly weather that night, but they warmed up as they kissed. She moaned softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.

When they pulled back from the kiss for air, her breathing came in short pants, and his lips traced over her jaw and down the nape of her neck. "Onyx-" he nipped on the skin of her neck with his teeth, and a breathy moan ripped through her chest.

When someone knocked on the door, he groaned into her skin and drew away. They sighed as they looked at each other.
"Go inside, I'll check the door." With a smile, he said, and Ophelia nodded. She turned around towards the bedroom door while Onyx pulled open the door.
"How you doing, son?" When she heard Gerbert's enthusiastic voice, Ophelia turned around and walked to the main door, where Onyx stood. She peeked over his shoulder and exclaimed!
"Dad!"
