“Oh, I love paintball!”
He grinned. “We should go out shooting sometime. I have a lot of paintball guns.”
He then moved to another part of the farm. There, a large expanse of land with cows of all kinds appeared. There were dairy cows with trademark white and black colors, and as we approached, they mooed at us.
Some cows were raised for meat. A cow near us looked really plump, and as we approached, Caleb laughed.
“Looks like he’s about to be a nice little steak,” Caleb teased.
“I’m sure,” I replied, rolling my eyes slightly.
The jokes were a little corny, but Caleb tried his best.
We then went to another part of the pasture, where a couple of goats and alpacas sat.
“Woah, I didn’t know this was there,” I told him.
“Yep, these are my pride and joy. I take care of both, and we supply milk to some of the local stores. The alpacas are great for textiles,” he said.
I looked around, marveling at the cute animals of all kinds. They were super well taken care of, and the entire time, I felt like a kid in a candy store looking at all of these creatures.
“They look great!”
“Thanks! I’m happy to have animals that are being raised successfully.”
We went around other parts of the farm until we went up a small hill. As we approached the top, he turned to me, the excited grin still plastered on his face.
“I have something cool to show ya,” he said.
We approached the very top, and when I got there, I gasped.
It was the most beautiful overlook I’d ever seen. You could see the nearby forests, some other houses in this town, and a large expanse of farmland. I didn’t realize we were this high up until we arrived. There was a small willow tree nearby. Caleb got off his horse and laid down a black blanket there.
“Here, come take a seat,” he said.
I joined him on the blanket, blushing at the closeness of our bodies. It felt nice, though, not gonna lie. As we sat there, the tension increased, and then Caleb sighed.
“This place is beautiful,” he admitted.
“Sure is. It looks like you take care of this place well.”
“Sure do. This is my baby, my pride and joy, and I love being out here.”
I could see why. It was one of the prettiest places I’d ever seen, and just being here with Caleb next to him was nice. I moved slightly closer, resting my head on his shoulder, and he chuckled, rubbing my temples.
“It’s great out here. It’s nice to come out here and just forget about all of your problems,” he explained.
This whole place had a lovely energy. It felt relaxing and alluring.
“I get that.”
“I’m glad that you do. I’ve never brought anyone out here before,” he admitted.
I turned towards him, noticing the slight blush on his face. Was he really this nervous? I didn’t expect that; not gonna lie.
“I’m glad we can share this together then,” I said.
“Agreed. You know, you’re kind of the first person I’ve shown all this to. Nobody cares that I enjoy farm work usually. I’ve built most of this ranch on my own. Sure, I hired help, but a lot of this is run by me,” he explained.
