Perhaps's next summer?

Bullshit!

"So, what do you think?" Said Caroline looking at herself in a floor length mirror.

"I think you look beautiful." Nic was sitting in an arm chair, with his legs crossed and his arms on the arms of the chair. He was smiling.

She rolled her eyes at him. "You've said that about the last six dresses! Why do you have to be so cheesy?"

"Firstly, you look amazing in all the dresses and second I'm not being cheesy, because its true!" he stood up then and came up behind her.

She rolled her eyes at him. They had spent the day looking for dresses for Caroline to wear to the party.

"See, this is why I should have gone shopping with Evie or something...I can't trust your fashion sense's." She looked at the light purple dress and straightened the lace around her waist.

"Well, if you want me to leave?" he sounded hopeful.

She turned around and faced him. "Absolutely not! You wanted to come, so you going to sit there patiently and wait!"

He made a pout face at her, but slumped back in the chair.

"This, one feels too outgoing...you know what I mean?" She twirled around once.

"Well, if you really can't pick. How about you show up in a shirt, jeans and converse?" He asked innocently.

"What, is that what your wearing?" She faced him.

"Um...maybe?" He peeked up at her over his phone.

"Great!" she exclaimed, his eyes lit up in surprise. "Now we can go shopping for you!" Now her eyes lit up and a smile followed.

"So Nic, what awful outfit did Caroline pick out for you?" asked Colin as he stretched like a cat on the lounge.

"Oh, shh. Let's see Nic." Shelley got up from the kitchen table and walked over to Nic and Caroline coming through the front door. She pulled out of the shopping bag he was holding, a black suit top.

"Is that it?" Shelley held it out in front of him.

"No, there's bottoms as well!" said Caroline pulling out the pants.

"Nic, was probably standing in a dressing room all day." Connor sniggered.

Shelley walked back to the kitchen table and continued her dinner.

"Actually, it only took me a few minutes to find something, Caroline on the other hand..." Nic smirked at Caroline.

Caroline glared at him.

"So where's Dad?" asked Caroline.

"Here, let me get him" said Connor. "DAD!"

They all jumped at his sudden loudness. Thirty seconds later, Dad came rushing down the stairs whispering frantically. "Robin's asleep! Why are you always yelling!" he wacked Connor on the head, but stopped short when he saw Nicholas.

"And who are you?" asked Dad walking towards him.

"Nicholas sir, but everyone calls me Nic." He added with a smile.

"Well, Nicholas. How is it that you come to be in my house?"

"Dad...I met Nic last night at bonfire I went to, you remember?" She asked hopefully.

"Oh. I thought. Maybe you might have been...dating." He laughed nervously.

Caroline looked at Nic with an alarmed face.
