The next day Violet came home earlier than usual so she could get ready for her date. She wanted to look presentable wherever they were going, being Gabriel's girlfriend was going to be a lot of work, and she did not want to embarrass him, because even though she was poor, she still had her dignity intact.

Gabriel waited outside his car for Violet, he had been missing her the past week, and he needed to use drastic measures to make her agree to see him. Sure she told him that she liked him, but he wondered if she missed him as much as he missed her. As he spotted her walking towards him, he remembered why he fell in love with her.

Violet had that confident air around her, that commanded him to look. She wore a green dress with floral patterns swirled throughout the fabric, and she paired it with very strappy sandals that showed off her toned calves. She looked very innocent, almost like a youthful teenager, with her hair loosely curled around her face and a soft natural look for her make-up that had a dewy finish. Suddenly he felt conscious about how he looked.

Violet blushed when she saw his piercing gaze directed towards her. "Are you going to tell me where we're going now?" she asks as she reaches him, receiving one of his hugs that she sorely missed, but it ended too soon.

"You will know very soon," he said as he opened the door to let her in. He inhaled her natural scent, and he wanted to forget his plans and just kiss her all night in his car, but he promised her a date, and a date is what they will have.

They reached a huge estate outside the city that was littered with fruit trees, shade trees, and every type of flowering bush, in the front. It was spectacular from Violet's point of view, but to Gabriel, it was just another property they owned.

"This is magnificent, do you live here?" she asked in awe, looking around, amazed that something like this existed near the city.

"No, it's just one of my family's farming estates. We grow fruits and vegetables here to eat," he replied.

They took a tour of the house and the gardens, stopping at an area where a picnic blanket was laid out, on it was different types of dishes made with the fruits and vegetables picked from the farm that morning. Nothing could be fresher than that.

"Did you have this prepared? This is so amazing. You're so thoughtful," she smiled and ran to the blanket to sample some of the dishes. Gabriel followed right behind her.

"Wow, there's a lot of food here. It's making me hungry," she said as she opened one container after the other.

"Me too, I'm hungry, "Gabriel said as his eyes roamed all over her body.

She was trying to feed him a strawberry when he pulled her waist so they could lay on the blanket together.

"Ahhh..," she screamed as she fell on the blanket.

"I've been wanting to do this since I picked you up," he kissed her lips hungrily. It had been a week since they last kissed, and he was hungry for the taste of her lips.

Gabriel sucked on her lips, prying them open with his very insistent tongue, so he could taste her sweet nectar. Violet could not stop the onslaught of feelings his mouth created. She kissed him back while she ran her hands through his hair. "Hmm…," they both moaned at the same time.

But kissing her swollen lips was not enough, he wanted to taste all of her. His lips traveled to her chin, then to her neck, and then down to the V of her dress.

Violet moaned, "Ughhhh…," which encouraged him to lower the straps on her dress. She was wearing a black silky bra that hugged her milky white skin, enticing Gabriel to touch what was hidden underneath.

He was feeling very feverish as he squeezed one of her breasts, and Violet moaned again. "Oh honey, you're very beautiful. I want to feel you in my mouth," he moaned, licking the tops of her breasts.

Her whole body turned to jelly, and she wanted the same thing he did. For him to lick her everywhere, but when she opened her eyes she remembered where they were. In the middle of Gabriel's farm where people could probably see what they were doing.

She froze, "Gabriel, honey… ahhh.. I think we should stop...ahhh," he had one of her nipples in his mouth and did not want to stop, his hands were unhooking her bra when she caught his hand.

"Gabriel, we need to stop…. people can see us out here… it's too open," she said as she hugged his head to her bosom.

"What was I thinking? I got carried away. Dammit! It's her first time, and I almost took her right in front of everybody," he hugged her, "I'm sorry, honey," he said, shielding her from any prying eyes, while he tried to arrange her dress back to the way it was.

She deserved better than this, and he will make sure that her first time would be very special.

"It's okay," she said as she hugged him back. They proceeded to eat the food they had forgotten when they were trying to taste each other. They fed each other with their fingers and their lips, always touching, always kissing.

They talked about her mother, her work, and all her dreams and ambitions as the sun came down, bathing them in the sunset glow. It was getting harder for Gabriel to say goodbye to her every time they parted. And he had decided that it was time to legally bind her to him, so they could be together without any restrictions. But as we all know, plans never go the way we plan them.

Just like everyone, Gabriel has a past, and it has come to haunt him. This time, once and for all, he needs to face it head-on, so he can move forward and plan for his future.
