Steroline OTP turned 2 today!
Where the fuck has 2 years gone? That is amazing. Thank you for sharing the ride with me. In honour of 2 years writing on here, here is a little teaser from “A Year To Prove You Wrong” - which i promise I am actually writing.
Caroline could see how much Stefan was looking forward to the challenge of getting their company started. She was looking forward to the challenge of it too, to help pick out every piece of furniture that would set the tone for their office. It was going to be a lot of work but she was more than up for it. She took a sip of her coffee before enquiring, "How long do you think it will take us?"
Stefan reached for Caroline's hand to entwine their fingers together, rubbing his thumb against her soft skin as he mused over the question for a moment before answering, "Depends if you want to start straight away, what with Christmas being around the corner."
"Oh yeah." Caroline pulled a face, completely forgetting that Christmas was coming.
"We aren't in any rush, Caroline." Stefan reminded her tenderly, a smile curling his lips as he gazed lovingly at her, "There is no deadline. We take it at our own pace, carefully choosing everything for our office together, then when it's finally done and we are ready to open our doors for the very first time." His eyes brightened as he caught her gaze and he told her meaningfully, "It will have been worth however long it takes for us to get there."
Caroline tilted her head to the side, smiling at him adoringly, whispering the only reply that encompasses all that she felt for Stefan, "I love you."
"And I love you." Stefan smiled at her as he replied, leaning towards her so that he could cover her soft lips with his own, sighing in utter contentment at the way she made him feel. God, how he loved her.
Caroline hummed as they parted, licking her lips to savour the taste of Stefan on her lips. She opened her eyes to gaze into his breathtaking green eyes, her heart skipping at the love shining from his gaze.
Stefan wrapped his arm around her shoulders, resting his head against hers as he breathed her in, stroking his fingers up and down her arm. He closed his eyes as he savoured the feel of his love against him, soaking in her presence before he declared, "After Christmas has finished we will start making the office our own."
"Sounds good to me." Caroline nodded her head in agreement, before she suddenly chuckled and added, "While also planning our wedding at the same time."
"We have a busy year ahead of us." Stefan laughed, pressing Caroline closer to him so that he could drop a kiss onto the top of her head before releasing her.
"We really do." Caroline shot back, shaking her head as she thought about everything that she would be doing next year. Starting their own business and getting married. 2020 was turning out to be an eventful year and it hadn't even begun yet.
"We have Christmas first..." Stefan raised his hand up to cup her cheek, "Then set up office..." He grinned at her as he winked playfully, "Then we get married."
Caroline leaned into his hand and couldn't help but tease him, "Setting up our office comes before our marriage?"
"Hush you." Stefan bumped his nose cutely against hers, "You know how much I want to marry you." He stroked his fingertips across her face as he told her seriously, "I'd marry you tomorrow if I could."
"I know." Caroline replied, smiling softly back at him, "And I love you so much that you are willing to wait until June for our wedding."
"I'd wait as long as you wanted me to." Stefan brushed his lips tenderly against hers, smiling at her as they parted, "I want you to have the perfect wedding of your dreams."
"I will do." Caroline raised her hand up to cup the back of his neck as she grinned at him, "Because you'll be there and there is nothing more perfect to me than marrying the man of my dreams."
Stefan's face lit up in a beaming smile, her sweet words making his heart race wildly in his chest. He dropped his head against hers as he echoed her words, "Marrying the girl of my dreams is beyond perfect to me."
Caroline smiled and shook her head, biting into her lip as she gazed at the man she loved in awe, "June can't get here soon enough."
