Hart's Desire (Complete)

30💄

On my way to work, I decided I better call Christian.

☎️ Hey sis! What's up?

☎️ I just wanted to see when you would be able to come back in for the wedding?

☎️ Are you planning your wedding around me?

☎️ Well we both want to make sure you can be here. I need you to walk me down the aisle.

☎️ Can I call or text you later today and I'll see what I can find out.

☎️ Sounds good thanks Christian love you.

☎️ I love you too Ayla.

I pull up at work and as soon as I walked in Tiff was smiling. "I want all details."

"Ky is amazing! We are going out on another date this weekend." She said.

"I'm so happy for you Tiff! I was hoping things worked out between the two of you." I smiled.

"So what's up with you? You look a little pale." She asked.

"Morning sickness but Clara made some grits that were a miracle cure it seemed. Poppy told me to eat them that it helped her." I said.

"Eww, I don't like grits," Tiff said making a face.

"I don't either but well maybe I do now." I laughed.

"So any news on the wedding front?" She asked as we started restocking.

"I talked to Christian and he's going to call me this evening and let me know when he can get off to come in because I need him to walk me down the Aisle."

"Ok and then we can plan. Do you have any colors that you want?" She asked.

"Umm not sure yet. I mean I want it at the gazebo at night and people won't really see flowers. But I would like you and Poppy to be in my wedding." I said.

"Really me? I would love to be." She smiled.

"Well once I talk to Christian we can get the ball rolling," I said just as Holland walked out.

"Can I see you, Ayla?"

"Sure coming!" I said handing Tiff the box I was holding.

I walked in and set down across from her in the conference room. "What's up?"

"Let's go over some colors." She smiled rubbing her hands together.

I had never seen so many different colors of browns and maroons and shimmers in my life.

"Wow, I'm overwhelmed." I laughed.

"Just pick the ones that you like the most." She said.

I studied those pans of colors for over an hour before I picked a brown that I liked and I had to pick a few more and come up with names.

I got up to go to the bathroom and when I walked back out I ran into Chad. "I'm sorry excuse me."

"Are you ok Ayla?" He asked.

"I'm fine thanks," I said walking back into the room.

Chad walked in and sit down beside me. "Look I'm not the enemy here and I'm sorry if I made you feel some type of way. Most of the time I'm just an asshole who sticks my foot in my mouth."

"It's fine Chad," I said holding my head.

"It's not and I know I offended you." He said.

"You want the truth?" I said turning to him. "You made me feel like the poor girl I grew up to be. Do I want any of your family's money? No, I don't I just want love from Hart and to be accepted by all of you that's it!" I yelled.

He opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off.

"I didn't grow up with money like you so I don't need it and my life doesn't revolve around it as yours does. Does the money really make you happy Chad?? It looks to me like it doesn't. You are alone and I clearly see why. You don't let anyone close to you because your afraid they will steal your money."

"Maybe you are right Ayla but I'm sorry for how I made you feel and at the moment I said it to be an ass but after I thought about it I wish I hadn't. But I wasn't sure if someone not from a family like ours could handle the publicity."

"Thank you for apologizing and now let's drop it. I have a bunch of colors to go through." I said.

"That brown is perfect." He pointed to one I had been eyeing.

When Holland walked back into the room she looked around. "Everything ok in here?"

"Yeah Chad and I had to get past what happened yesterday but I think we are good now," I said.

"I'm secretly loving that you put him in his place. I gave him a hard time when we first met but over the years he has grown on me." Holland laughed.

"Well, he did help me pick a brown." I laughed.

By the time the end of the day was over I had picked out three different color browns and I was ready to go home. I missed Hart.

I grabbed my stuff and said bye to Tiff and headed out to my jeep.

I was on my way home and stopped by the diner to talk to the owners a minute and when I walked back out to the jeep my phone rang.

☎️ Hey

☎️ Hey are you ok?

☎️ Yeah sorry Hart! I stopped by the diner to say hi to the owners.

☎️ Ok be careful coming home I love you, Ayla.

☎️ I love you too Hart I should be there soon.

I put my seatbelt on and I usually put my phone in my purse but this time I slipped it down in my bra.

I was almost to the Ranch when this car comes speeding on my side of the road and I swerved to miss and the car hit the side of my jeep and kept going which caused me to lose control of the car and the next thing I know it was flipping over and then everything was black.
