Reason to Live and Die (ft. AlyDen)

Chapter 17

--Aly's POV—

I sighed. Crap. It's Sunday and today is the day that Amanda and I are going into a... date. She wouldn't take any other payment except this so... I've got no choice but to take her into a date. You heard it folks? I'm going into a date... for the first time of my existence in this world.

Amanda went out of our room and tossed me the key of her motorcycle. I instinctively caught it.

"We'll use my motorcycle. You drive." She smirked and headed out.

"Ohhkayyy..." I whispered through my sigh. God. Help me get through this day.

It's just 9:02 in the morning. She said, it'll be a random date. Crap. Where the hell on earth shall I take this girl? I'm not even familiar with this place. Hello.... this is France and I'm from the Philippines.

"Hey! Amanda! Where do you wanna go?!" I said loudly for her to hear, my eyes focused on the road.

"Gosh, you suck at this! Hahhhahaha! This is your first date, isn't it?! Dude you're so lame!" she said.

"Whatever! You were the one who asked for this! I'm telling you Mands, I'm not a romantic person! So be ready to experience your worst date ever!!!" I smirked and I sped off.

Where the heck shall I take this girl? I don't even know what people do when they're having their dates.

And then my eyes caught something, vast vineyard. I slowed down and checked out the vast area.
"Hey Amanda! You've been in a vineyard before?!" I asked.

"Yea! We actually have a farm! It's in a farther town from here! We have our rest house in there! The last time I got there was two years ago, I think?!" she said.

As expected from the billionaire family.

"Good! Tell me where! We'll go there!" I said. Not bad. That what's I said in my mind. I've always wanted to be in a vineyard because I love wine. Because I and Dennise love wine. Damn.

We arrived at the Villanueva's somewhat like a hacienda after 2 hours or so.

I parked the motorcycle in front of their rest house and stared at it with awe.

Amanda took off her helmet and jumped off. I also took mine off but I continued to stare at their rest house.

"Welcome to our rest house! Dad did both the exterior and interior design. Come in. I'll introduce you to the ones who take care of all that you see in here." she amusing said as she stepped into the front porch and went inside the house.

She toured me all over the place and introduced me to all people who take care of the whole place. They have a vineyard and they are even starting to produce their own wine product. I was amazed by the whole place. I learned a lot of things about wine, berries and grapes and farming. And guess what? I learned how to ride a horse, Amanda thought me as we toured all over the place.

Well, our date turned out to be like an educational tour in a vineyard for me. Like I said, I am not a romantic person.

The sun set and the night came. The whole place looks even more majestic at night. It is because of the lamp lights all over the trees and fields of grapes, just all over the place.

I and Amanda ended up here in their rest house's patio, where the vast vineyard is awesomely visible. We just finished eating our lomi. I cooked and showed her my favorite food which Manang Feli taught me, but I kind of improvised the recipe. We're having our wine, talking, and laughing about stuffs. I'm actually having a good time talking to this girl. I found myself comfortably listening and talking to her.
