She props her phone up so she could sit on the bed and tease him relentlessly, she wanted to see just how far she could push him.* Amaiya and Chris have been together for almost six years, meeting on the first day of their freshman year. Although it should have been an easy fairy tale romance it was not, it was riddles with typical college life and a few scandals here and there. But now he was drafted to the pro's and she was starting on her third published novel, what does life have in store for these college love birds? *Hi all! I have these things called filler stories, I continuously write the story when I'm stuck on another story, sometimes they can be graphic (mature) but I guess it depends on your definition of mature.

When her parents die in an accident, 27-year-old party girl, Adelaide Becker, sets her sights on inheriting the family fortune. But when the will is read, she is not surprised to find her parents are capable of ruining her happiness even from beyond the grave. If she hopes to inherit the family estate, she has to follow one not so inviting rule: move to the English countryside and live with a long forgotten grandmother. For a year. Begrudgingly, she packs her things and leaves the sandy shores of Greece for the small, ramshackle house her mother grew up in. Between the drafty room, the terrible food, and the young carpenter who seems more intent on sweeping her off her feet than fixing the roof, Adelaide is convinced her parents set the whole thing up just to punish her for indiscretions. She's determined to beat them at their own game and survive the year, but when her grandmother hands her a ring and a letter and declares her engaged, Adelaide might finally snap. *** ONC 2021 entry for prompt # 74.
