Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Before I could dwell on any more details, Claire's voice rang out from the entrance, sharp and clear, "Over here, Sebastian!" I looked up to see her waving eagerly.

To my surprise, Claire appeared even more stunning than I had pictured in my mind. Her makeup was a bit heavier than usual, yet it didn't feel excessive or out of place. It perfectly matched the vibe of the evening. Her outfit hugged her curves in a way that was impossible to ignore, making it easy to understand why her old classmates might jump to conclusions. "Come on," I said, reaching out my hand toward her car keys. Instead of handing them over, Claire shyly grinned and took my hand in hers. "The party's not over yet.

Will you stay with me for a little while?" I hesitated, frowning slightly. "I've got an early commitment tomorrow." She shook her head firmly. "Don't worry, it won't be long. The party's almost done anyway. You should at least say hi to my friends before we leave. It would be rude to just disappear like this." I gave a reluctant nod. "Alright. Just a quick hello, then." Still holding my hand, Claire pulled me toward one of the private rooms and began introducing me with a playful tone. "Hey everyone!

My guy's here, so I'm heading out now, okay?" Suddenly, the music cut off, and every eye in the room turned toward me. "Oh my God. Cici, is this hottie really your guy?" "Hey handsome, do you have a brother or a friend who looks like you? I'm suddenly in the mood to make a new friend..." "You used to avoid guys like the plague, Cici! How did you end up dating a hottie behind our backs? And not even telling us?" The women wasted no time teasing Claire. The boldest among them closed the gap between us and stared at me openly. All that attention stirred a flicker of jealousy in Claire's eyes.

"Hey! He's my friend, girls! Don't even think about it!" she snapped, pulling me closer to shield me from the crowd. "We just came to say I'm leaving. He has something early tomorrow." "Something early tomorrow?" one friend repeated with a teasing grin. "You mean business in the early morning, right? Why else rush off like this?" The group buzzed with excitement once more. "I agree! It'll be morning soon anyway. I get it, Cici!" "Come on, spill the details!" I was taken aback by their boldness. They all seemed a little tipsy - probably a touch too drunk to hold back.

Claire's cheeks flushed a deep pink as she tugged at my hand, clearly ready to make our exit. Her friends didn't try to stop her; they waved goodbye, laughter bubbling from their drunken joy. Then, unexpectedly, a man stood up and fixed me with a hard glare. "Wait a minute. Since when are you seeing a man, Cici? And how could you forget our rules? Anyone who brings their partner here has to drink at least once." His voice was loud, sharp, and dripping with hostility. Every head turned to him, the atmosphere suddenly tense.

Conclusion The night had woven a complex tapestry of emotions, revealing layers of connection, jealousy, and unspoken rules that lingered beneath the surface. Claire's protective instinct and the teasing energy of her friends painted a vivid picture of the delicate balance between friendship and romance, where boundaries are both tested and fiercely guarded.
