The photoshoot /chapter 10/
He sets up the camera and starts messing with the settings to get everything right when he hears her approaching again. She pops her head behind his shoulder, her lips puckered and a slight furrow between her brows.
“What’s happening here?”
“Well, I’m adjusting the brightness and the contrast so I can get better color payoff from the sunset and you know, to make sure the brightness isn’t too much.”
“You mean so the sun doesn’t outshine me?” She jokes, her chin now resting on his right shoulder and he can feel her soft breath on the side of his cheek. He has to remind himself to breathe.
“That could never happen.” It comes out of his mouth despite himself. He turns around just slightly so his cheek touches hers, but she doesn’t move away. They stare at each other with more intensity than ever before, it makes him heat up in every way possible. She finally cracks a little smile and breaks the contact, but he’s unable to drop his stare.
He watches on as she goes around him to try and climb up the lifeguard house. She’s changed in to a colorful shirt and a longer flowing skirt that looks mesmerizing when she walks.
That’s when it hits him.
He likes her.
He really, really, really likes her.
A little sneak peek to the photoshoot scene between Caroline and Stefan in the upcoming chapter. We’re getting serious now, folks. Get ready for some sweet coupley stuff (and a lot of angst, IMO).
I had a lot of fun, making this edit so if you’d like to see more in the future let me know!
