Bidding goodbye to Shawn, Hope headed to home. Fortunately she had now learned to always keep
her wallet and phone on her. The hard way, that is.
She had come to stand on the bus stand when her phone chimed with a message. It was from Shawn
asking her to be ready by six o'clock in a sophisticated dress as he will be wearing a black tux.
Tux? Fancy party it seemed.
Sighing, she quickly typed down her address and sent it to Shawn in case she forgot to do so later. In
the next five minutes the bus came and climbed in. It were three pm right now. She had three hours to
get ready.

After getting home and gobbling down the lunch she rushed to take a bath. She needed to shave her
legs, do some girly thingies, and then choose a dress and matching shoes to go with.
Once she was done showering she came out and started searching for the dress. It took her almost
two hours in the bathrroom only. Hoping for a quick dressup, she found a pretty, sparkly with
squinstones dress that had V neck on front and back with two thin straps holding it up on her shouders.
It hugged her chest and waist and then flowed down to her thighs beautifully.
She picked a pair of black strappy heels that had three inches of pencil heel along with straps teing
around her upper ankles.
Six o'clock were just about to tick when she heard the doorbell ring. That fucking boy was on time?
Why in the actual hell. She cried a little in her heart.
"Hope!" her mom shouted from the edge of stairs, "Shawn is here to pick you."
God Damn!
She hurried to tie the sandals on her feet and immediately found a purse to go with her dress. Pushing
all the necessary things in the pocket of the purse she ran down the stairs.
Shawn was talking to her mom. She could not hear what they were saying but her mom was happily
chatting with him.
"She is here." her mom said, making Shawn to turn around.
She literally saw his jaw dropping a little and then instantly shutting after realizing what he was doing.
His reaction was so funny that she wanted to laugh out loud. But then it would probably had made
Shawn run to the hills screaming in embarrassment so she controlled herself.
"Shall we?" she smiled at Shawn.
Shawn looked like he would have donated his soul to get the fuck out of there in that moment. His pant
was doing a very poor job at containing his hardness from Hope's eyes. She looked so amazing in that
dress. If her mother were not standing behind them right now, he would probably have smacked a kiss
on Hope's lucious, pink lips till now.
"Definitely." Shawn half groaned, half mumbled and started getting out of there but not before grabbing
Hope's hand in his own. This girl was going to be the death of him.
He ushered Hope to his BMW and opened the door for her. Once she had seated he stopped once to
adjust his fucking hard as rock dick and climbed in.
They drove in silence while a pop song that she did not recognize the name of played on the radio. She
could feel Shawn's eyes sliding to her every now and then, sneaking gazes at her naked skin and then
looking away. His reaction was more funny than offensive and honestly, she was enjoying the attention.
In less than ten minutes they were at the destination. As soon as they got out of the car, a valet was
there to get the keys. Hope's eyes moved up only for her mouth to drop open in awe. The place was a
palace. A literal freaking palace with yellow lights adorning it to complete the whole look. The look of
the place was somewhere between modern and ancient but mixed so well that it clearly showed it was
built by some great architect.
Shawn's hand slid inside her waist as he straightened his back and started walking forward, ushering
her in. Oh this party is going to be fancy!
They were in. The huge hall was lit with yellow glow, champagne shower, beautiful delicacies and
mouth watering trays of starters in the plates held in the hands of the waiters.
"I am so hungry!" the words slipped out of her mouth as her eyes followed the tray with some cheesy
thing in it.
Shawn started laughing beside her and she came back to her senses. As she turned her head she
found his face sliding up to the side of her face as he bent down his head and whispered, "This party is
going to be amazing with you in it. I am hungry too."
At the last words his eyes dropped to her lips and she could not help but blush furiously.
"Come." he smiled and pulled her towards the food counter.
The time she spent with Shawn was not even bad at all. They laughed at some people's costumes,
talked about silly people they found in college and Shawn described that this party was for the heirs
and owners of the big families in the city. Her parents owned a multi millionaire company of cement in
the city and since they could not come, he had to attend the event.
People came and greeted them. Well... mostly Shawn, but he was making sure to not leave Hope out
of the conversation and it was surely very sweet of him.
"Wanna dance with me?" Shawn asked, extending his hand to her and winking, "I promise not to drop
you."
She smiled and put her hand in his. They walked to the floor and immediately mingled with the crowd.
His hand slid in her waist and it was not long before they were dancing to the rythm of the music.
Shawn's gaze was stuck to her face the entire time, the smile unwavering from his face. As the song
changed to an more intimate one, she felt his arm tightening around her waist as he pulled her closer to
himself.
Her eyes slid past him to glance across the room, while Shawn's head dropped down, unknown to her
knowledge, and leaned forward to her lips. And just as his lips unexpectedly dropped upon hers, her
eyes widened, and clashed with the angry ones of Varys who was standing down the stage in a tuxedo
with his fists clenched tight and an thunderous look on his face.
