Judy parked the car in a parking lot near the promenade. The bunny and the fox took a little walk holding paws until they arrived at a little Italian restaurant called Adriano's.
After Judy talked to a lynx that was at the entrance, he accompanied the couple to their table.
"This place is wonderful, Carrots" commented Nick as he sat down.
"Thanks...I looked for something fancier but they didn't have any tables available" the bunny caressed her ear.
"Oh, Judy...I don't care about the place, all I care about is being with you" the fox reached for her paw, making her slightly blush.
They gazed into each other's dreamy eyes as they both smiled right before a waitress interrupted them.
"Hi, my name's Aria, I'll be your waitress for tonight, can I take the order for your drinks?" loudly asked the antelope as she got her pen out.
"I'll have some wine" the bunny ordered first.
"Just water for me," said Nick before winking at Judy.
A few minutes later, the waitress came back to take their order for the food, both mammals ordered a plate of pasta and a basket of mozzarella sticks to share.
Once they finished their meals, the bunny paid and took the fox by one of his paws before walking out of the restaurant.
"C'mon, Nick...we gotta hurry," said Judy excited as she increased her pace.
"Why the rush, Carrots?" asked the curious fox.
"I wanna show you something" smiled the bunny before they got to the parking lot.
"And are you gonna tell me where are we going?" Nick raised one of his eyebrows as he got in the car.
"I'm sorry, Nick, but I can't...oh, and you need to put this on" Judy handed him a blindfold.
"Where did you…" the fox stopped talking when he saw the excitement on the bunny's adorable face "...okay, fine"
Before turning the engine on, Judy applied a little kiss on Nick's snout, who already put the blindfold on.
10 MINUTES LATER…
"Okay, we're here" the bunny stopped the car and helped Nick to get out.
"Can I take this off now?" asked the fox as he was being guided by Judy.
"Wait…" they took a few steps forward to a lookout "...okay, now you can"
Nick removed the blindfold and observed a beautiful view of the city before looking to the bunny, whose purple eyes were looking at him.
"Well, Carrots...I must admit this place is great and the view is fantastic...but none of them can compare to you..." he turned and leaned to her as he used his sly smile to make the bunny blush even more "...oh, c'mon...you knew I was gonna say that" the fox applied a gentle kiss on one of her cheeks.
"Nick…" she held both of his paws "...the reason I brought you here is so we could have some privacy, since your mother's house...anyway...I just wanted to say that...I like you, I really like you and I want this to work and last, cause I-"
"Oh, Judy…" the fox made a little pause to wipe a tear that was already running down his cheek "...when I first met you...I would've never thought you'd become this important to me… you are my life, Judy...and I really like you too, when I'm around you I feel things I cannot explain but make me feel warm and safe" they both looked at each other tearful eyes for an instant before melting their lips in a romantic kiss that included hugging and gentle caressing.
After separating their lips, Judy rested her head on Nick's chest while he wrapped his arms around her.
"It's getting late" commented the fox.
"Yeah, we should go back to your mother's house, by the way, can you drive?" the bunny lazily embraces him.
"Of course" Nick kissed her on the top of her head before they both got in the car.
5 MINUTES LATER…
Judy side-hugged the fox before they walked through the door.
"Hey, you're back" Nick's family greeted them from the living room before they started to make questions.
"Oh my god...you cried...both of you" observed Beth.
"She's right!" added Linda.
"What happened?" curiously asked Viv.
"Did you say "I love you" on the first date?" said Tom.
"No" answered Nick.
"So you don't love her?" asked Connie.
"That's not what I said"
"Don't worry you guys...nothing bad happened, these are just tears of joy and I think Nick and I should get some rest" said the bunny, who impressed the fox with her ability to calm his family.
"Oh, well that's great!" said Nick's mother.
"Good night then" the fox and the bunny walked up the stairs and went into the guest room.
Nick unbuttoned his shirt as Judy took off her dress, revealing the lingerie she was wearing.
"*gulp*" the fox's ears tensed as he carefully observed her grey fur and dark purple lingerie with gold details that complimented her eyes.
"Well...do you like it?" she slowly walked up to him.
"Y-yeah" answered Nick before Judy wrapped her arms around his neck and passionately kissed the fox, making him fall back to the bed.
