I saw that there was lots of land. It was full of shade. It was humid and felt the heat.

"Grey is this your family's land?" I ask. He nods.

"Yes, want to look around?" he asks. I nod. He grabs my hand and interlocks his fingers with mine. He saw a trail and began walking. I followed. It was like a hike but the trail was just dirt. We walked and saw a lot of animals already. I was very curios what this land is. Animal reserve? We continued walking and he stops in front of a vine wall.

"Why we stopping?" I asked. My heart beat increased.

"We are here. I promised I would show you." He said. I was confused. What did he promise?

"You do the honors," he said. What honors? We are in front of a wall. I looked at him like 'wtf'.

"Move the vines aside." He said. I let go of his hand and did what he said. I moved the vines to see light at the end of the tunnel. I walked through the vines and was trembling.

"Grey you not going to kidnap me are you?" I say playing around.

"If you act cute, I make no promised." He said. That the response I wanted but okay. A chill went down my spine so I grabbed his arm and was close to him. We reached the end of the tunnel to see a fruit orchard. He promised me last night. It was rows of trees. It was bright and colorful to see many colors of fruits.

"They are ready to eat too. They are in season." Grey said. I look at it's a massive orchard that goes miles. And there are millions of trees and fruits. I am mouthwatering just imagining me eating a fruit. But I saw a apple tree with Fuji apples. Grey say that I wanted an apple. He walked up and reached one and gave it to me.

I remembered that Grey was talking about that his dad made apple cider. I am pretty sure that involves machinery. I bit into the apple and it was sweet but not too sweet and a little tart. I looked at him inpressed. He was like 'I know they are amazing.' I rolled my eyes and continued to eat and walked. He walked me to the side of the cave to see a apple picking cart. I looked at him smug and he was not suprides by now. We got on and drove around.

"Surprised about the orchard?" he asked eyes on the field.

"I thought it would be somewhere else somewhere more tropical. Like Mexico." I said. He chuckled nervously.

"There is one in Mexico but this one is the only one we got close by." He said.

"We should go to Mexico, I got a house there." He said. I looked at him.

"I don't know, I got to ask my mom. I have never been out of the country." I say. His grey eyes widened.

"YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY?!" he asked yelling. I nod softly. He stopped in a wooden building. We got out of the cart and he types a pin into a keypad. He opened the door and we enter a massive room with new machinery. I looked around and it was empty. It was dark and not dusty. Maybe used recently.

He handed me a juice and it was sealed and cold. I took a sip and my face brightened. It was just like last night but slightly sweeter.

"This is good. How long ago was it made?" I asked. He laughed.

"Yesterday. They close on weekends." He said. I was shocked that I almost spit my drink.

"Wow! Do you know how to make this drink?" I asked. He nods happily.

"Do you want to try?" he asked. I said yes almost yelling.
