Shattered Dreams Due to Unforeseen Consequences

Chapter 25: Shawn's POV, 31st Dec (Lemon)

Shawn's POV December 31st

I was unaware Amanda and Cassie were making their way down the stairs as I was standing with my back turned, deep in conversation with Harry. Suddenly, Harry looked up and couldn't help but whistle, clearly taken aback. "Damn, sis, you look incredible!" he exclaimed, and his words caught my attention, which made me turn to see what was going on. The expression on my face must have been priceless; my eyes widened, and my mouth fell open as I took in Cassie's appearance.

She smiled at us, and then Harry strolled over to her, wrapping her in a warm hug. I was close enough to hear what was said between them There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice as he said, "I'm heading home now." she squeezed him back and reassured him, "You know where to find me if you ever need anything."

After that, we quickly waved to Mum and Dad, giving them a brief hello and goodbye before heading outside with Cassie, Amanda, and Harry. We made our way to the driveway, where Harry hopped into his car, flanked by his security team. Meanwhile, Amanda, Cassie, and I piled into one of the sleek new SUVs, ready to hit the town and enjoy a night out at a club.

As we drove off, the excitement of the night ahead buzzed in the air. The city lights twinkled in the distance, and I could feel the energy building as we approached our destination. It was one of those nights where anything could happen, and I was ready to embrace every moment.

As we made our way into town, the atmosphere in the car shifted. I slowly let my hand casually drift over Cassie's thigh. It was a subtle move at first, but then I began to inch it up her leg. I let my fingers teasingly brush against the fabric of her pants.

As we pulled up to The Edge nightclub, Amanda hopped out of the SUV on one side while I made my way out on the opposite side. I turned to Cassie and extended my hand to help her out of the vehicle. When I glanced up, I was taken aback by the massive line snaking its way to the entrance. Thankfully, I had called ahead and secured us a VIP pass, which would save us from the long wait.

Once Cassie was out of the car, I instinctively wrapped my arm around her waist, feeling a rush of excitement. Just at that moment, a few girls waiting in line caught sight of me and erupted into cheers, calling out my name. I couldn't help but smile at the attention, even as I focused on making sure Cassie felt comfortable and included in the moment.

The atmosphere outside the club was electric, with music thumping from within and the buzz of anticipation in the air. You could feel the energy crackling all around you. The bass from the music pulsed through the walls, creating a rhythm that seemed to sync with the heartbeat of the crowd.

As soon as we stepped into the club, Cassie, Amanda, and I were guided to a cozy private booth that promised a bit of intimacy amidst the lively atmosphere. The music pulsed around us, but we were in our own little world. We decided to kick things off with some drinks, so we all went for the classic combo of bourbon and coke. It felt like the perfect choice to set the mood for the night ahead.

Settling into the booth, I made sure to keep Cassie close, my arm draped around her shoulder as we shared laughs and stories. Amanda was sitting directly across from us, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she joined in on the conversation. The vibe was relaxed, and the energy was infectious, with the sounds of laughter and music blending into a backdrop that made everything feel just right.

With our drinks in hand, we started to unwind and enjoy the moment. The bourbon and coke were smooth, and each sip seemed to enhance the fun we were having. Cassie leaned in closer, and I could feel the warmth of her presence, while Amanda chimed in with her witty remarks.

After a couple of drinks, I turned to Cassie and suggested we hit the dance floor. She flashed a smile and nodded in agreement, but I could tell that chatting was becoming a bit of a challenge since the club was getting packed. Just then, Amanda joined us, making her way to the dance floor and immediately starting to dance solo, which definitely caught the eyes of a few guys around us.
