Willa closed her eyes as she was being carried up the stairs. She said to him, “You must stop me after drinking one glass of wine. I have a low tolerance for alcohol. This is the second time I have gotten tipsy on you.” Grey laughed and replied “So I see! Don’t fear from here on out I will not let you drink more than a glass. I don’t want that pretty little head of yours to hurt.” “Uh huh…” She was out. They reached the bedroom and he laid her down on the bed. He wiggled off her pantsuit and covered her up. He stood there for a minute and looked down at her smiling. “I promise to make you happy Willa and not cause you any undo stress. I'm so lucky to have you.” He whispered to her while she slept. Then he kissed her on the lips and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed. The sun came up through the windows of the masterbedroom and woke Willa up. She reached up to feel her head and said “Oh my head!” She was in pain from drinking wine the night before. I already
The salesperson that had waited on Willa thought to herself after Willa left the dress shop, ‘It sure must be nice to have that much money to be able to purchase so many dresses all at once.’ Then she placed the dresses in individual dress bags and zipped them all up. She tagged the bags with notes that read W. Stockholm and lined them up on a rack in the back of the store to be picked up later that day.Another store associate said to her when she was finished, “Who was that lady that just purchased all of those dresses? You just made the store alot of money in one big swoop.”“Oh, that was Ms. Willa Stockholm. She’s the youngest daughter of Stockholm Dairies.”“Ahh…I see! I want to be her someday.” She said dreamily.In the meanwhile, Kaysea headed back to Farmington Vineyards to check on things for her dad and find Heathe. She wanted to ask him to have lunch together with her on the estate.It took her a little longer than she anticipated to complete the work that her dad ne
Willa made her way over to her new sofa and sat down to try it out. The leather felt good and the new smell of it was fresh. Her office looked great as Tricia had an excellent eye for furniture placement. She closed her eyes for a bit and before you know it she nodded off. It was 6 pm when she heard her phone ringing. She jumped up to go find it. It was still on her dad’s desk. It stopped ringing before she could get to it. She had a voice message on it. The message was from Grey. He wanted to know if she was still at work?She quickly gathered up her things and headed out of the office while trying to call him back. Then she remembered that she needed to go and pick up her dresses at Stacy’s Bridal Boutique.Grey answered his phone quickly, “Hi there, princess…” Then there was a long pause. “Are you ok Willa? Did you see my text? I was getting worried about you.”Willa could hear the concern in his voice. She replied with patience, “Yes, I had a long day and I took a
Grey was making a move to be closer to Willa. It was not just about the fact that Mrs. Langley was moving to Lawrenceburg to be closer to her sister, Darlene Miller. It also had little to do with the opening of their new Lawrenceburg real estate office. The Langlely’s had plenty of help when it came to being able to get things done. They had proven themselves worthy business leaders over the years. Even Grey’s sister, Leslie, was a formidmidable business partner in real estate.Trevor was going to lose his daughter to a real estate tycoon from the big city of Frankfort and he wasn’t ready for it. He didn’t even have his eldest daughter married yet. The wedding was happening next month. Two daughters out of the house in succession was going to be too much for him.While other families might be looking forward to spending time with their spouses when the kids were out of the house, Trevor and Martha were the opposite. Or at least Trevor was. He always liked having his daughter
The stars were twinkling and it was a perfect night. Grey hugged Willa tightly and whispered in her ear, “You do know as soon as you agree to be my wife, with your parents complete blessing of course, that you can come and live with me. We can plan our wedding and live happily ever after just like your parents.” He waited for her response knowing that she might not give him the answer that he wanted just yet.She looked at him intently and said, “You can ask me to marry you in a few more months. Let’s get through my sister’s wedding first. I promise to give you a solid answer after that time frame.” Then she leaned her head near his and gave his cheek a kiss.“Ok, I can wait.” He laughed. “In the meanwhile, I will just continue to show you how charming I am. By the way, my parents were a very happy couple too. I’m sure my dad would have loved you as a daughter-in-law. I know that he’s looking down from heaven on us and cheering us on in this life.”Willa was silent for a wh
She put her phone on silent so that she would not be disturbed while doing her school work. She assumed that Grey would be headed to Kelcy Downs for the night. An hour and a half later she was done with her work. She got a quick shower, changed into some fresh clothes for the night, dried her hair, and then laid down to go to sleep. She was so exhausted that it only took her a few minutes before she was sound asleep. The following morning Willa woke up to the sound of the rooster crowing again. She rolled over and reached for her phone on the nightstand, but it wasn’t there. She looked over on her desk and there it was next to her laptop where she had left it from the night before. She stretched and then decided to get up. Her phone probably needed to be charged. Sure enough it was almost dead and she had a new text message from Grey. She laid the phone down on the charging pad and swiped the screen to unlock it. Then she opened Grey’s message. It read, ‘The gate keycode
“I’ve got to say at first I was not keen about Grey wanting to date you Willa. I thought his motives were strictly to help his family out with the loss of the Miller Dairy. I figured that you would be a casualty after he got done handling his family’s business. If in fact it was a retaliatory affair? After doing some digging around and listening to his side of the story, I have to admit that I was wrong. It does seem like fate has brought the two of you together.” Trevor glanced at his wife who was nodding in approval at his words. She must have discussed the topic at hand with him last night. “So long story short, you have our permission to marry him if he should ask you properly. As you know, he has already spoken to me on this subject. The timing is up to you and we trust that you will be happy together.” After Trevor finished speaking, Willa must have looked stunned because everyone looked at her like she had two heads. “Hun, are you ok? Do you need me to get you anoth
Mason, Willa’s driver, dropped her off at work and then took her car to get it washed up. It had rained the day before and the vehicle needed some sprucing up. He figured that she would appreciate a clean ride and based on what Tricia had told him it was expected to keep the Stockholm cars looking great all of the time. They had an account with a local car wash so he headed there. Mason needed to get back quick as he had heard his boss say that she was going to have lunch with her sister today. Mason sent his new boss a quick text to let her know that he was going to get the car washed and then heading right back. As Willa was headed up the elevator she noticed the text from Mason on her phone. She thought about how thoughtful he was to be giving her a heads up. She gave him a thumbs up emoji as a response. Meanwhile in the office, as soon as Willa stepped out of the elevator Tricia got up from her desk and followed her to her office with notepad in hand. “Good morning, Tric
