Willow Oliver always had a crush on her brother's best friend Jace Pickford but he was always off-limits. Ben would kill him if he even looked in her direction.
After high school, She left Vermont packed up, and moved to California for college not...

The next morning we got up early and I wanted to go talk to mom about helping less and getting my interior design going.
"I'm going to go talk to mom but I'll be back in a bit," I said walking over to kiss Jace.
"Ok, I just plan to stay here and be lazy and play Xbox." He grinned.
He pulls me down on his lap and placed kisses all over my face. "Be careful."
"I will. Be back I a little while." I said getting up grabbing my keys and head to my car. Oh, how I've missed you.
I head to Rustic Noel and mom smiles when she sees me. "Hey Willow!"
"Hey, mom! I just wanted to stop by and talk to you a little bit." I said.
"Let's walk back here Edward can take care of everything." She said.
We walk out back to the patio and sit down. "So I just wanted to talk to you now that I'm back for good I want to try and get my business off the ground and maybe not help around here as much."
"Oh Willow honey I knew that. I figured you wouldn't want to work here daily even though I have thoroughly enjoyed working with you." Mom said grabbing my hand.
"I have enjoyed working here but I'd like to get back to what I'm good at," I said.
"Well, I want to be your first customer then." She smiled.
"Would you actually let me fix this place the way I want it!" I laugh.
"Yes I trust you and I want you to bring your creativity into this store. So write up a contract or do what you do and we will get started as soon as you're ready to go." Mom said.
"Sounds good! Can I put some cards on your counter? I need some business." I laugh.
"Yes, you can! Now let's go check on Edward." She said.
I followed her inside and helped make a few ornaments and then headed back home. I need to set up my business here and get new cards made.
It can't really be Oliver designs anymore with me getting married so maybe Willow designs will work.
I pull into the driveway and see Jordan's car here. I walk inside and find the guys playing Xbox and Jordan watching.
"Hey, guys! Not tired of us?" I laugh.
"Nah we came to play Xbox with Jace." Noah smiled.
"I'll be in my office if you need me," I said excusing myself.
I flip the light on and go sit at my desk. I open my laptop and go find the site that I order my cards from. I don't think I will put my address on it but phone number and name and maybe a willow tree in the background.
I smile as I'm deciding how I want it to be when someone knocked on my door. I look up and see Jordan. "Hey come in!"
"I hope I'm not bothering you but I can't sit and watch that anymore." He laughs.
"It's fine I'm making new cards for my interior design maybe you can tell me what you think," I said turning the laptop around.
"Oh I like it and the willow tree is clever." He smirks.
"I have my first job. I mean granted it is my mom but she's giving me complete control of the store and I get to change it." I smile.
"That sounds exciting! I love decorating but of course, it's a hobby. I had to become a lawyer because my father insisted on it." Jordan rolls his eyes.
"Well maybe you would like to help Casey and I come up with wedding plans," I said.
"Oh, I would love to!" He claps.
"I have this in mind in the back yard with close friends and family. What do you think?" I ask handing him my phone.
"Oh, girl I love it! That would be perfect in the backyard." He smiles handing me back my phone.
We banter back and forth an hour or so when Jace comes looking for me. "What's going on in here?"
"Hey! Jordan is helping me with my cards." I smile.
"Oh, nice! Can I see it?" He walks around the desk and leans over me.
"What do you think Jace?"
"I like them a lot Willow." He said kissing my temple.
"I already got my first job. Mom is giving me complete control of the shop." I smirk.
"Oh wow! I'm excited for you babe." He said.
"And Jordan here has offered to help Casey and me with wedding planning!" I smile.
"Oh, that's fantastic! But you know Noah may get jealous." Jace laughs.
"Might get jealous about what?" Noah said walking in the room.
"Jordan is going to help with wedding plans," I said.
"Hell no, I'm not into the frilly shit like Jordan is." Noah laughs.
"Let's order some pizza and make a night of it," Jace said.
"Ok, I'm going to text Ben to come over," Noah said.
I order the pizzas and join the guys in the living room waiting on Pizza and Ben.
Ben walks in a little later carrying the pizzas. "I guess I came in time." He laughs.
I get up to get everyone a beer and napkins since we just eat out of the box.
I hold Jace's pizza and basically feed it to him since he's still playing a game. He turns his hat backward and gets really into the game and I'm so turned on right now.
He looks over at me and leans in for a kiss and a bite of pizza. I slip him a little tongue and smile at him and I can see his eyes lusting over.
"Shouldn't you be watching your game?" I giggle.
"Ah fuck!" He laughs and everyone else joins in.
"I've heard about people's eyes lusting over but holy shit I saw it happen to my brother." Noah laughs.
