Minnie POV
We finally reached Will's grandparents house. Will parked the car, and I looked up at the massive house standing in front of us. It was beautiful, almost like a small mansion, with a huge garden surrounding it. Before I could say anything, Will gently took my hand and pulled me toward the entrance. He pressed the doorbell, and after a few seconds, a middle-aged woman opened the door.she looks at Will, and smiles warmly. "Come in, young master," she says. I look at Will, raising an eyebrow at the title "young master," and try to hide a smile.
We step inside the massive, gorgeous hall. Will calls out, "Grandma, where are you?"
We hear a voice coming from the sofa area. I look over and see an elderly woman, around sixty-five, sitting comfortably. Will walks right up to her and gives her a big hug. "I really missed you, Grandma," he says, sounding completely like a little boy in front of her.
She pats his back, then suddenly pinches his ear. "If you missed me so much, why don't you ever come visit?"
Will winces playfully, acting like it hurts. "Sorry, sorry! I was busy with work."
I cover my mouth to muffle a laugh. They both turn and look at me, and the second our eyes meet, my nervous smile falters.
Will steps back to my side and gently places a hand on his grandmother's arm. "Grandma, this is Minnie." He turns to me, taking my hand. "Love, this is my grandmother, Ruth."
I look at her, offering a warm, respectful smile. "Hello, Grandma. How are you?"
Before I can even blink, she walks right up and pulls me into a tight hug. My eyes go wide with shock, and I glance over at Will, who is just standing there with a loving, amused smile.
"I'm good, dear! Finally, I get to meet the woman who broke the ice in my grandson," she beams.
I smile shyly, then hold up the bag I brought. "Oh, this is for you, Grandma. I didn't want to come empty-handed, so I bought some fruits so we can make fruit salad."
Grandma waves her hand dismissively. "There is no need for that, child! You are like my grandchild too—you can come here whenever you want."
I nod gratefully as the maid steps in to take the fruit.
Will looks around and asks, "Grandma, where is Grandpa?"
She lets out a dramatic sigh. "He's out in the garden, Will." She glances at me, then back at Will. "Go bring him in so we can all sit and talk."
Will nods and heads outside. Grandma pulls me down onto the sofa beside her. "You are really pretty, child. I saw you on the news during yesterday's runway show."
My eyes widen again. "You saw that?"
She nods enthusiastically, "Of course, dear!" and immediately starts firing off sweet questions about me, my parents, and how Will and I met.
While we are talking, Will and his grandfather walk back into the hall. Grandpa looks right at me and says, "Hello, you're Minnie, right?"
I stand up politely. "Hello, Grandpa."
Before I can say another word, Grandma literally pushes me back down onto the couch. "Sit! Minnie, tell me—what on earth do you even like about Will?"
My eyes widen in panic. I scratch the back of my neck nervously. "Honestly, Grandma... I still don't even know why I love him. But whenever I'm with him, I just feel completely safe and comfortable."
Grandma and Grandpa exchange a fond look, and Grandpa smiles warmly. "That is called true love, Minnie. You don't need a reason to fall in love," he says. He claps a hand onto Will's shoulder. "Now, your grandmother and I are going to cook lunch. You two keep talking."
I look at Will in disbelief. "Do you even know how to cook?"
He laughs. "Yes, love, I actually do."
As Will and his grandparents head toward the kitchen, Grandma turns back with a mischievous grin. "Come on, Minnie, let me show you something!"
She leads me to what used to be Will's childhood bedroom. I spot a framed photo of a baby Will and squeal at how cute he was. Then I pick up a family portrait showing a complete, happy family. Grandma sits down on the edge of the bed, opens a thick photo album, and pats the spot next to her.
As we flip through the pages, she points to a toddler in a frilly pink dress. "Look at this one."
My eyes nearly pop out of my head. "Wait... is that Luna, Grandma?"
Grandma bursts out laughing. "No, dear, that's Will!"
I stare at the photo, totally confused. "What? But this is a little girl's dress! Why is he wearing that?"
She wipes a tear of laughter from her eye. "Well, at the time, Mia desperately wanted a girl child, so she bought all these girl dresses and toys. But Will was born instead, so she just dressed him up in girls' clothes anyway and played with him!"
I cover my mouth, laughing so hard my stomach hurts. "Oh my god, really, Grandma? I am definitely taking a picture of this!" I whip out my phone and snap a picture of baby Will in his dress while giggling uncontrollably. Grandma affectionately places her hand over mine.
Suddenly, we hear a familiar voice right behind us. I quickly close the album and spin around. Will is standing in the doorway wearing an apron and holding a wooden cooking spoon.
"Love, do you want green salad with lunch?" he asks, raising an eyebrow, I nodded.
Grandma tilts her head, looking at him with a grin. "Does Will always call you 'Love'?"
I look at her, blushing, and nod. She just smiles knowingly.
After lunch is finally ready, we gather around the dining table. I take a bite and my eyes light up. "Wow, Grandpa and Will, this noodles and white sauce pasta is amazing!" They beam with pride, and Grandpa urges us to eat more.
Later in the evening, we say our goodbyes and head back out to the car. As we drive home, I look out the window and gasp. "Oh my god, Will, it's snowing!" I say, completely thrilled. "Can you stop the car? I want to get out!"
Will groans playfully. "Love, you'll catch a cold if you run out in the snow."
I pout, making my most pathetic sad face. He sighs, gives up, and pulls the car to the side of the road. Before I can even unbuckle, he gets out, walks around, and opens my door. I hop out, and he stands close, admiring me with a soft smile. I wrap my arms around the back of his neck, locking my fingers together, while he slides his hands around my waist. We just stand there, soaking in the quiet magic of the night.
"Will, this is the very first snowfall I've ever seen in my life," I whisper, my eyes shining. "I'm so happy."
As the snow starts falling faster and heavier, we finally scramble back into the car. I look at Will and burst into laughter—his hair is covered in little white flakes of snow. I reach up to brush them away. "Let's get home, Will, so you can freshen up." He catches my hand, kisses my knuckles, and nods.
Five minutes later, we pull up to my apartment. I punch in the passcode, and the moment the door clicks open, the air between us suddenly feels heavy, thick, and electric. We step inside, and Will instantly pushes me gently against the hallway wall, capturing my lips in a deep, breathtaking kiss. I let out a soft, shaky breath as he deepens it, leaning down as I look up into his dark, intense eyes.
"If you want me to stop... tell me now," he murmurs against my lips, his voice rough.
My breath hitches. Instead of answering, I slide my hands down to his waist and pull him hard against me, kissing him back with a sudden, burning intensity. The heat between us flares instantly. I reach up to unbuckle his shirt buttons while his hands slide down to slip off my heavy overcoat. He dips his head, pressing hot, lingering kisses down my jaw and straight to my sensitive neck.
Suddenly, a loud yawn echoes from down the hall. "Minnie? You're home..." Sara's voice rings out.
My eyes fly wide open. I freeze like a statue against the wall, staring right past Will at Sara, who is standing in the doorway blinking sleepily.
She rubs her eyes, gives another lazy yawn, and turns right back around. "Never mind, I didn't see anything. You guys can continue."
My face instantly burns bright red with pure embarrassment. I drop my head against Will's chest, groaning softly.
Will lets out a long, defeated sigh. "Well... she's gone." He chuckles softly. "Let's go to your room."
Without missing a beat, he scoops me up bridal-style into his arms, carries me into my bedroom, and gently lays me down on the mattress. He crawls over, hovering above me, and presses a string of soft kisses down my neck right over my favorite spot.
Suddenly, a sharp cramp twists painfully in my lower belly. I wince, letting out a small sound. "Ouch..."
Will instantly stops, pulling back to look at me with immediate concern in his eyes. "Did I hurt you?"
I shake my head, biting my lower lip as a blush creeps up my neck. "I... I think I just got my period."
Will's expression softens completely. He doesn't say a word, just presses a gentle kiss to my forehead and stands up to give me space. I quickly grab a change of clothes and rush into the bathroom to freshen up.
Forty-five minutes later, I step out of the bathroom and walk over to the bedside. Will is nowhere to be seen. Figuring he must have quietly left for the night, I let out a quiet sigh and sit down at my dressing table to dry my hair with the blow dryer.
Suddenly, the bedroom door clicks open. I look up in the mirror and see Will walking in, holding a steaming mug of warm milk. He comes up right behind me, setting the mug down on the table, and gently takes the hairdryer out of my hand.
I look up at him through the mirror, my heart swelling with warmth. I pick up the mug of milk and take a small sip. As I drink, I notice the silver on his wrist and blink in surprise. "Will... are you still wearing the watch I gifted you?"
He smiles softly in the mirror, running his fingers through my damp hair as he continues to dry it with gentle, practiced strokes. "Of course, love. I only wear this watch on my most special days."
A shy smile breaks across my face, and I lower my gaze. Once my hair is completely dry, Will turns off the dryer, picks me up effortlessly in his arms, and carries me to the bed. He pulls back the blanket, tucks us both in, and wraps his strong, comforting arms tightly around me. Surrounded by his familiar warmth, I drift peacefully off to sleep.
The next morning, I woke up and immediately noticed that Will was nowhere beside me. I got freshened up and walked out of the room, only to find him in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I quietly sat at the dining table, rested my chin on my hand, and started admiring him. He looked so good even while doing something as simple as preparing breakfast, and I completely forgot that I was supposed to be doing anything else. Just then, Sara came and placed her hand on my shoulder before sitting beside me. She followed my gaze toward Will and smirked. "Like what you see?" she whispered. I immediately turned toward her. "Shut up," I muttered, trying not to smile. Unfortunately, Will heard us and turned around with a smile. "Good morning, Love." Sara immediately raised her hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Will? I am also here." Will looked at her and smiled politely. "Morning, Ms. Sara." She rolled her eyes. "Just call me Sara." He nodded and went back to preparing breakfast. I grabbed Sara's hand, pulled her closer, and rested my head on her shoulder. She looked at me suspiciously. "What? Tired from yesterday night?" My eyes widened. "Sara!" I immediately sat up and glared at her. "I got my period!" I whispered angrily. Her teasing expression disappeared instantly, and she hugged me. "Oh! Do you need anything?" I shook my head and wrapped my arms around her. "Just your hug." She laughed and hugged me tighter. "Okay, okay. Come here, drama queen."
A few minutes later, Will walked toward us carrying two plates of sandwiches and a glass of milk for me. Sara's eyes immediately widened. "Wait… is that for me?" Will looked at her, then at the sandwich in his hand. "No." Sara stared at him in disbelief. "Wow. Rude." Will simply smiled and went back to the kitchen to get another sandwich for himself. I covered my mouth, trying not to laugh. Sara looked at me and whispered, "Your boyfriend has officially declared that I don't exist." I laughed so hard that even Will looked at us suspiciously. After breakfast, Will got ready and left for the office while Sara and I stayed back and relaxed.
Finally, the weekend arrived, and just like Will had promised, he had arranged a trip for the entire staff. But instead of a normal villa, he had booked a beautiful beach resort. We reached the office in the morning, and a large bus was already waiting outside. Everyone climbed aboard excitedly, and some of the employees were already acting like we were going on a school picnic instead of a company trip. As soon as we arrived, the staff welcomed Will. "Good morning, Mr. Will, and thank you for arranging this trip!" I smiled and looked around the bus. I noticed Zoe and Pranav sitting together, which immediately made me raise my eyebrows. On the other side, Sara and Akil were sitting together, while Luna was sitting alone with an empty seat beside her. I looked at the empty seat and immediately got an idea. "Nova!" I called. He looked at me. "Go sit beside Luna. That seat is clearly waiting for you." Luna immediately gave me a tiny heart sign with her fingers, and I burst out laughing. Nova looked at both of us like he had just been trapped in some kind of conspiracy. "Why do I feel like I had no choice in this decision?" he complained, but he still went and sat beside her.
I took the window seat, and Will sat beside me. The moment the bus started moving, he gently held my hand. I was still having some cramps, so I leaned my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes. The warmth of his shoulder and the gentle movement of the bus slowly made me sleepy. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep beside him.
After almost two hours of travelling, we finally reached the beach resort. The moment I stepped off the bus and saw the huge resort in front of me, I couldn't help but stare. "Wow…" I whispered. The place looked absolutely beautiful, with palm trees, a huge swimming pool, bright blue water, and the beach stretching out behind the resort.
Nova gathered everyone together and announced, "Everyone, listen! The rooms are already booked. Your room keys are at the front desk, so collect them and then do whatever you want. Just enjoy the trip and, please, don't destroy the resort."
we collected our keys and headed inside. Luna immediately grabbed my hand. "Come, Sister! Let's go to our room."
Before I could answer, Will gently pulled my hand back.
"No, no. Minnie is staying with me."
Luna stared at him with one eyebrow raised. "Brother, she's not your luggage. You don't have to keep carrying her everywhere."
I covered my mouth to hide my laughter.
Will looked completely serious. "She's my girlfriend."
"And I'm her sister," Luna replied.
I looked between them and started laughing. "Okay, you two. I'll see you both later."
Luna gave me an exaggerated sad face before finally leaving with Nova. Will and I went to our room, and the moment I opened the door, I was amazed. I dropped my bag on the bed and immediately walked toward the balcony. The view was beautiful. The fresh sea breeze touched my face, and I could hear the waves in the distance. I took a deep breath, feeling completely relaxed.
Will came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me gently into a back hug. His hands rested softly against my lower stomach, giving me a gentle massage because of my cramps. I leaned my head against his chest and closed my eyes.
"This feels so much better," I whispered.
He kissed the top of my head. "Then stay here as long as you want, Love."
For a few peaceful minutes, we simply stood there enjoying the sea breeze. But soon, we heard a knock on the door. Will went to open it and found Luna and Nova standing outside.
"Sister! Come for lunch!" Luna said excitedly.
I smiled. "You guys go first. I'll join you soon."
Luna nodded and left. I looked at Will. "I just need to use the washroom."
A little later, we joined everyone at the lunch area. The whole group was happily eating and talking. I sat with Sara, Akil, Luna, and Nova, and started trying the different dishes. Honestly, I had no idea what half of them were called, but they tasted good, so I decided names weren't important. Sara suddenly looked at everyone and said, "After lunch, let's go shopping. What do you all say?"
Luna's eyes immediately sparkled.
I knew that look.
I quickly shook my head. "You guys go. I'm going to rest."
"Sister, please!" Luna begged, making the cutest puppy face.
I laughed. "I'm not feeling well, Luna. And honestly, I'm in the mood for chocolate, spicy chips, and a good zombie series."
Everyone started laughing.
Will looked at me. "Then I'll stay with you."
I immediately shook my head. "No, you go with them. I can handle myself."
He sighed. "Fine. But if you need anything, call me."
"I will."
Before I could take another bite, Luna grabbed Will's arm.
"Brother, come! You have to pay for my shopping."
Will looked horrified. "Why do I have to pay?"
"Because you're my brother."
"That doesn't make any sense."
"It makes perfect sense to me."
I burst out laughing as Luna dragged him away.
"Bye, Will!" I called.
He turned around and gave me one last look before leaving.
I went back to my room, changed into something comfortable, climbed onto the bed, and pulled the blanket over myself. I spent a few minutes scrolling through different shows, trying to decide what to watch. Just when I finally found a zombie series, I heard a knock on the door.
I slowly got up and opened it.
Will stood there.
He handed me a bag.
"You can have this, Love. I'm going to enjoy the trip with everyone."
Before I could even ask what was inside, he turned around and walked away.
I stood there completely confused.
"What just happened?"
I closed the door, locked it, and opened the bag.
My eyes immediately widened.
Dark chocolate.
Spicy chips.
Snacks.
Everything I had mentioned earlier.
I stared at the bag for a few seconds before a huge smile spread across my face.
"That idiot…"My heart melted.
He had remembered every little thing I said.
I opened the chocolate, climbed back into bed, grabbed my snacks, and finally started my zombie series.
Maybe everyone else was going shopping, swimming, and enjoying the beach.
But me? I had my blanket, my chocolate, my spicy chips, my zombie series, and a boyfriend who secretly delivered snacks like a five-star room-service employee.
Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better vacation but i like this.
