A Couple of weeks had passed since the car crash. Sebastian had not left Holly's side, being over protective and annoying, but Holly liked it. Sebastian was supposed to attend an interview but cancelled it, rescheduling till the end of the week, he wanted to make it up to Holly for the time he wasn't around. The car was also due back from the garage today, they were dropping it off to the house.

Holly's manager had visited her, bringing beautiful flowers and checking up on her. Carrie and Holly's friends had chatted with her over Skype, sorry that they couldn't fly out to see her, they also sent flowers and cards. Carrie knew Sebastian would look after her, she was grateful Holly had him.

Holly accompanied Sebastian to his rescheduled interview. She couldn't be stuck cooped up in the house much longer, however much she enjoyed Sebastian waiting on her hand and foot.

Holly sat behind the camera. Normally Joshua Horowitz preferred to interview alone, but he made an exception, he knew Holly well and had interviewed her before. He greeted her like an old friend, smiling and hugging when he saw her walk through the door. He shook Sebs hand. Sebastian politely explained why he had to cancel.

Joshua had heard about it. "How are you now, all good?" He asked Holly.

"I'm well, still a little bruised but grateful for this one." She pointed to Sebastian.

The conversation continued for a while before the interview began and Josh didn't make one comment about Holly and Sebastian's relationship, it wasn't in his nature, he had smiled at Holly's earlier comment. The two looked good together, he had thought. Having Holly attending had actually opened Sebastian up a little, often he would hold back in some interviews but her presence relaxed him.

"Sorry again for cancelling man, you know." Seb started as the camera's rolled.

"No, no, don't worry about it. Things come up."

Sebastian nodded. "Thank you."

"So. How have you been?"

Joshua asked Seb about his up and coming projects where he revealed they had been shooting for another series of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and they talked about how Sebastian had become more vocal on social media, he had a bout where he had given it up all together, posting very little, he hated social media.

"Do you have any other projects in the works, I mean that you can talk about, there are a few rumours doing the rounds?"

"Ah, yeah I have a few things lined up. A couple things I can't talk about yet, uhm-" Sebastian looked at Holly smiling knowingly as she perched behind the camera out of sight.

Later that afternoon Anna dropped by to see Holly, she had some news on the book, it was ready to be published if Holly was happy, Anna had agreed not to change any of Holly's work, and for that she was grateful. Anna also mentioned that Drake had been in contact with her, he wanted Holly on the creative team and to help oversee the entire project, Sebastian had owned up to Holly about forwarding her work to him, rather sheepishly, she wasn't angry but had scolded him for not telling her, this was something big!

Holly felt overwhelmed, but Anna promised she would be there for the entire process. Anna had liaised with Carolina, Holly's manager and she was over the moon, completely excited for what the future would hold for Holly.

"Holly, darling, I'm so happy for you. You've come so far since moving to the city. What did I tell you huh?" Carolina spoke over the phone.

Sebastian was equally excited, he was proud of Holly's achievements, and of her. He had vocalised it often.

Holly received emails and talked with Drake over Skype over the coming days and weeks. She was going to be meeting up with him soon to go over the soon to be published book, into a screenplay. Anna wanted to run the book as soon as possible so it would release in time for the film.

Halloween arrived in New York, decorations had been put up around the city. The little cake shop round the corner had started selling an assortment of new sweet treats, Holly would be lying if she said she hadn't tried most if not all of them. The lady at the shop had grown used to seeing Holly most days entering for a sweet treat or some cake, sneaking in some welcome samples before heading home whilst Sebastian was at the gym. She herself would often pay Don a visit, he and the other trainers continued to help her with her fitness, she enjoyed visiting Don but he always laughed in exasperation, shaking his head when she told him she'd just visited the cake shop.

Holly and Sebastian had been invited to a handful of high profile parties for Halloween, but decided to stay at home, they invited some friends over to watch some scary films and eat food. Holly had decorated the house out, and Sebastian took her pumpkin picking, when they got home Holly spent hours carving her lantern, ever the perfectionist, then made a pumpkin pie with one of Carrie's recipes. Sebastian watched her work, taste testing all the ingredients and helping where he could. There was enough pumpkin left to make soup.

The counter was laid out with food and drinks for their guests to enjoy that evening. Holly got to meet some of Sebastian's older friends, some she had yet to meet, she had the chance of meeting Chase again and another close friend Ethan and his wife Mina. Sebastian's group of friends were planning a reunion in London, they met up every year when they could. Holly had been invited.

Holly didn't sleep well that night after wrapping up the evening with one last scary film, Will and Alissa joined them, they had stayed after everyone else had left or went to sleep in the guest rooms. Sebastian chuckled everytime Holly jumped and hid behind his arm.

"I'm never watching a scary film again." Holly muttered under her breath, the bed sheets pulled up over her head, Sebastian chuckled, joining her.

The rom-com had neared the end of it's production, a special screening was due soon, it wasn't going to be released world wide until the new year, but a special event had been laid out. Sebastian was going to accompany Holly for the first time at a proper public event.

Holly had managed to steer clear from any tabloids and new sites, if she hadn't she would have seen her face plastered everywhere after the accident, she would have seen the rumours and speculation that she and Sebastian were an item, the rumour they had split that she had a fling with Chris Evans. Luckily her manager deflected everything for her.

Holly invited Will and Alissa to the premier, they had become her closest friends since arriving in the city, since being introduced to them by Sebastian. Holly surprised the duo over dinner with the news they would be joining her and Sebastian, it was her thank you for them being there for her, she treated Alissa to a new dress for the event, and enjoyed the delight on her friends face.

Holly arrived with Sebastian at the venue, she wore a beautiful long gown which sparkled in the light and the fabric swished as she walked. Sebastian looked particularly dashing in a crisp navy suit. The pair had to part for some photo opportunities but Sebastian's gaze wandered to her at every chance. Sebastian waited at the end of the red carpet with Will and Alissa as Holly finished up, his eyes watching her every move as she sashayed towards him where he patiently waited. Sebastian's lips lightly grazed against Holly's cheek, grabbing her hand instantly. Cameras flashed all around them.

The evening was long, there had been a party of sorts afterwards. Holly's feet ached and she couldn't wait to get home. Seeing Sebastian so groomed in his tight suit made her itch all over, she couldn't wait to get him out of it. A blush crept up her neck at the thought.

"Penny for your thoughts." Sebastian's voice tinkled in her ear on the car ride home, the sound sent butterflies to her stomach.

"Mmm, just thinking how sexy you look in a suit." Holly replied, meeting his eyes with a sultry gaze.

Sebastian grinned before licking his lip. He had waited all night, ever so patiently, his eyes were hungry for the woman sitting next to him.

"Take the dress off. Keep the shoes on." Sebastian ordered once they'd finally made it home. His voice was deep and full of sex as he breathed his wishes against her neck. Holly giggled at his request as they made their way up the stairs, Sebastian lightly tapped Holly's behind as they entered into their master bedroom, Sebastian kicked the door shut behind him before peppering Holly with kisses to her neck and jaw; collapsing on the bed together.

The next morning Holly and Sebastian lay cuddling on the sofa, his arms tightly wrapped around her.

"It's all happening so fast Seb." Holly confessed. "I was so used to bumbling along." She says looking up at him.

"I know exactly how you feel."

Holly smiled as he fiddled with her fingers, looking down at her lovingly. Sebastian truly did know how Holly was feeling.

He kissed her head then, a light peck on her temple. "Sun atât de mândru de tine." (I'm so proud of you) Sebastian declared. "Casatoreşte-te cu mine." (marry me) He spoke softly, without thinking, it was so light in tone and had meant to be a thought. Sebastian sucked in a deep breath after those last words clearing a lump that had formed in his throat, he ruffled his hair awkwardly.

"Hmm." Holly hummed, at the soothing romanian tones leaving Sebastian's lips. He cleared his throat again, shifting awkwardly in his seat.

"Tell me what you said." Holly asks lazily as she pokes him in the side.

He chuckles, grabbing onto her fingers, thankful she had little understanding of his Romanian roots. "I'm just really proud of you baby." He kissed her temple again.

"Promise me you'll teach me a few phrases before we go and see your mom again, I want to know what you two are gossiping about."

Sebastian chuckled at Holly's request as he started to poke her sides, earning a fit of giggles from the lazy, sleepy woman in his arms.
