A/n: Thanks to everyone who left the review or messaged me personally. It gives me the idea of what the readers are enjoying and what not, so kudos to that :) to infinity- I hope this chapter is what you asked for? :) Anyways, enjoy and don't forget to leave in the comment what you think about it.

"Are you serious right now?" Stefan glared at her, almost judging at the choice of her was their usual movie night, not that he was interested in the particular movie she suggested. Also, it wasn't a movie night either, but it's Caroline and she made it one of the days she tags when she wants Stefan to agree on with her.

"What's wrong with this movie?"

"Everything about this movie is wrong." Stefan said while staring at the poster of the guy who looked like a zombie but making heart eyes to apparently a human. "It's like that vampire movie all over again, which you made me watch a few years ago."

"But there are no other movies right now." Caroline's eyes were looking for another movie if she could find one.

"Well, we can-"

"Nope." She rejected his option without even listening.

"But, I didn't finish."

She turned around to look at him. "Stefan… if you really want to see the stars so badly, we can go to the treehouse and stare at the cosmic world."

"Caroline…. Just because there is stars in the name of the movie, doesn't meant it's about that."

"Yeah, I know that… it's about space and shuttles, and the aliens living in the outer space world. I am not in a mood of watching a Star Trek movie."

"Star wars…. There is a difference."

"Potato, po-ta-to." She said mouthing her lips in an o shape.

He would have argued, but there wasn't any point, so he let it pass.

"Anyways, you have a bad taste in movies." Caroline started, while buying the popcorn. She ordered the big size tub. "Please don't add any butter." She told the guy taking her order.

"I have perfectly fine taste in movies." Stefan argued.

"You didn't like Notebook, so shut up." She argued back.

"I never said I didn't like it, it wasn't for my taste. That's it."

Caroline rolled her eyes. "It was such an epic love Stefan."

Stefan chuckled.

"What's so funny about that?" She twitched her brows, and glared at him. Not because he didn't like a movie she liked, but because she thought he was mocking her.

"I didn't say, it was funny."

She waited for him to finish, so he continued. "Well, to be honest, this big and epic kind of love is good on papers, or movies. In real life, either they would have ended up being adjusted in their own life without each other, or one of them would have left the other."

"And you are a motivational writer." She laughed in disbelief. "What kind of negative books are you reading lately?"

"I am just stating the truth. Let's be real here Caroline, if the characters of that movie were living in 21st century, things wouldn't have taken the route as they did in that movie."

"Like what?"

"Like, those letters. If in 21st century, the guy wants to contact the girl, so many ways to do so when he is seeing that the letters are coming back. Internet, phone, text message, whatsapp, or instagram, or facebook, even your favorite twitter. So many means."

"You would do the same if you are born in 1850's."

"But, I wasn't born in 1850, I am not IN 1850, I am in 2016, and this Stefan has some brains."

"Don't ruin romance for me." She stopped him before he could have done more damage to her fairy tale love stories.

"But, there are other ways of romance."

"For example?" She crossed her arms across her chest.

"Like a candlelight dinner."

"Aaaand what's so special about that?"

"It will be on the beach, under the moonlight, where you can hear the tides calming the nerves, and it can be a 3 course meal. I can also hire the violinist to play the favorite song for the girl. And once we are done with the dinner, we can walk on the beach shore."

"Or can ride a boat, with twinkling stars in the sky." Joined in Caroline.

"Ah, so are you inputting your Tangled fantasy into it?"

"Hey, you have your fantasies, I have mine. But, please continue." She said, because she was totally digging it.

"Hmm…" He smiled and continued from where he stopped. "She might be cold, so I would keep my jacket around her, lean towards her a little so that, if she wants, she could keep her head over my shoulder. She might get tired with all the walking, so we can sit on the sand for a while-"

"Oh… no, no, no." She interrupted him.

"What?"

"That would totally ruin her dress."

"Oookay. Then I would carry her all the way to her."

"And then?" Caroline's anticipation was killing her, and his slow narrative was getting on her nerves.

"And then we will watch the movie."

"Huh?"

"Movie… the one you dragged me into watching, and didn't let me watch my favourite one."

She still didn't get what he was talking about, until the lights in the theatre went off, and the trailers started on the screen.

She huffed in silence, which he couldn't notice. Probably next time she would be able to hear the full version.

"Oh by the way, Celine was asking for your number. She might contact you." Stefan said once the movie was over.

"What? Why? How? Why would she call me?" The words rushed through her mouth when she heard the name. She knew exactly she was. And after the party last night, where she met her and the girlfriend, she was totally trying to ignore the topic with Stefan. Did it worsen in a day?

Caroline has been digging about Celine a lot lately, basically Facebook, but most of the stuff like her profile was either locked or she just didn't fill it out, out of which the second option was looking less realistic. There wasn't much to find, and she was kind of losing her mind with the dead end when Stefan asked her to come with him for Celine's party.

"Celine who?" She asked acting normally and hiding the fact that she knew perfectly who Celine was.

"She is the editor of the Vorb Magazine. Well now she is owns it."

"She OWNS it?"

"Yeah, she just took over the company, and thus the success party."

Caroline was unsure how to respond to his request. "Actually, I would have liked to come with you, but I am really busy." She never liked saying no to Stefan, but, right now she had no intention of hanging out around the mean looking girl, or to be in a conversation with her.

"Oh. Too much work?" He asked with a concern in his tone.

"Yeah, a lot actually."

"Oh… if you need any help…"

"No, I can manage. I have Bonnie now, you know."

"Okay." He smiled. "But, it would have been really nice if you were coming. Celine and her girlfriend would have been so happy to meet you."

For a second, Caroline thought she was just hearing stuff. Did he just said girlfriend?

"She has a girlfriend?" Caroline asked.

"Yeah, the photographer. They have been together for a long time."

The photographer! How did she miss it? It was all over there, Celine had a lot of photographs with that girl. Hearing about it, she almost jumped on her feet.

Containing herself again, she answered, "You know, on second thoughts, I think I will be able to finish up my pending work before the party."

"Really? That would be awesome. I will pick you up at 7 tomorrow?"

"Sounds good."

"Why are you asking the question in this way?" Stefan narrowed his eyes.

"In what way?"

"In the way when you have done something, and now you think the whole world is on to you."

"No… I didn't.. I didn't talk in that way. At all." Even though she knew he was right about this, she just denied.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing…" She mumbled, and when he kept on staring at her, her voice raised to a higher pitch. "Nothing... okay, I did nothing." Not that she was sure of.

Caroline decided to wore a red strapless dress of Guess, with black gladiator pumps from Aldo. Fine look for the party. Although talking to the people around her wasn't going that well.

"So, Caroline I heard you are going to start your new column from next month." Celine asked her in the circle of five people standing with their toast.

"Yep. There is a launch party soon, and I really hope it will be a huge success."

"What will be the main point of focus for the column?" Another lady asked.

"I will be talking about this more in details in the launch party, but if I have to tell you in few words it is going to change the whole world."

"Like the fashion week you hosted last month." Said Phoebe. Phoebe was Celine's girlfriend and for some reason, didn't look so impressed with Caroline.

"Sure, it will be for every kind of person you can imagine."

She was giving really an off vibe to her. Caroline tried to figure out the reason behind her behaviour but she was failing.

"Yeah, right." Phoebe rolled her eyes, and sipped the drink.

"Um, so… you are a photographer." Caroline tried to change the topic.

"Yep, I am."

"Great."

"Mhmm."

She was definitely feeling suffocating now. And the only way to get out of the situation was to drink more. However, it was just wine and dine kind of party. Thus, no hard liquor, whatsoever.

"I think Stefan was calling me. I will come in a bit." She turned around to leave, but bumped into a waiter who was holding a tray with wine glasses. He tried to keep himself from falling, and in doing so, he pushed the rolling table standing beside them a little forward, one thing let to another, and Caroline could see the ripple effects, which pushed Phoebe on the three layer cake which just came out of the Pantry.

Caroline's eyes went wide when she realized what just happened started all from the point where she was standing at that moment.

"Uh… yeah." She murmured. She tried retracing back her steps, and fortunately no one saw her.

At least that's what she hoped.

"So, that was all… you?" Stefan pointed a finger on her. Stefan shook his head, trying to content the laugh.

"This isn't funny."

"Yeah… you are right, but then the whole fiasco comes in front of my eyes, and I can't help to say it in a straight face." He started laughing. "So, yeah… it is kinda funny."

"Shut up." Caroline started to pace around him. "You think she knows?"

"Why do you think she wanna talk to you?" Taking the advantage of the scenario, he teased her..

"No, no, no, what if she is calling to get me arrested?"

"Nobody gets arrested for that Caroline." He chuckled. He had suggested Celine for the doing the article on Caroline, and probably that was reason she wanted to talk to Caroline. However, he didn't want to tell her yet.

"Or worst." She continued. "What if… she wrote something about me in her magazine?"

"That might happen." Stefan commented, to which she stared in horror. "I am kidding."

"Oh my god."

"Caroline… I am kidding." He repeated, but she was panicking. She had this thing of getting panicked for nothing.

"Her girlfriend didn't like me… and maybe now she just wanna ruin my career or something."

"Why do you think she didn't like you?"

"I have no clue, but she was really cold to me."

Stefan stopped her from pacing. "First of all, let's sit over here." He told her to sit beside him on the tree house which they built during their childhood in her backyard.

"Now, take a deep breathe." He took a deep breathe, and she followed. "And let tell you one thing… I am sure Phoebe liked you, and whatever vibes you got were wrong."

"Why?" She asked shaking her head and huffing the deep puff of airs.

"Because, I don't think it's possible to not like you."

Even without trying, her lips twitched upward into a smile, and her nerves were calm once again.

"You are just saying it to make me feel better."

"No, I am just trying to tell you the fact…. But IF that is making you feel better… it's the icing on the cake."

She smiled, and the smile on his face followed.

"Well, at least you get to see your stars." Caroline said while staring on the sky above them, sitting beside each other and their legs hanging down in the air.

"For the last time, I wasn't talking about these stars."

"Yeah… right."

Their voice were sounded like the buzz through far away, but the tree house was filled with their laughter and slow chuckles.

[***]

Bonnie had made two sections with the piles of clothes. One with the yays, and the other with the nays.

"And how about this one?" Caroline turned around to show her the dress. A strawberry colored dress, drown down till her feet, with a silk belt on hanging on her waist, looked really pretty on her. Just like the rest of the twenty dresses she had tried. They were good but she wanted the best.

"This one is great too." Bonnie replied.

"That's the thing, I want the best Bonnie. It is really a big day for the magazine, and if the column succeeds, we might surpass Elle, or Entertainment Weekly."

"Caroline… you don't need to worry about anything. It's going to be really awesome. And by the way, you look pretty."

"You think?" Caroline smiled, squeezing her nose, her smile broadened to finally getting the dress.

"Yeah."

"And what about this one?" A voice came walking towards her, and the automatic smile came on Caroline's face.

"Oh my god… Donna you are back." Caroline went to hug her, air kissing on the cheeks.

"Obviously, I had to. Couldn't miss your party for anything." Donna replied.

Donna Paulson was a very good friend and colleague of Caroline. She joined Strings like an year or two years back, and even though she is still new in the office compared to Caroline who was like the co-mother of the magazine, Donna is best source for any kind of information in the company.

"Hmm… well I must say, that Tan really looks good on you." Caroline said.

"And the warmer tone suits you too… And who is this" Donna pointed at Bonnie.

"Oh, this is Bonnie… Bonnie Bennett, my new assistant."

They smiled at each other, shaking their hands. "So finally you hired an assistant."

"Yeah, Stefan kinda pushed me for that."

"Good for you. Is Miranda still giving you a hard time?"

"Well, luckily after I hired Bonnie, things are going pretty smooth with her."

"You should try this one." Donna suggested the one she was holding in her hand, and from the look on Caroline's face, it was clear that she found the dress for her after all.
