Harder Than Before -Sequel to NAE-

Chapter 12

Cassi Grier

My dad has this fancy banquet coming up and everyone apart of his management has to go. With a plus one.

My plus one is already invited.
Nash is bringing Malory.
Hayes is bringing Amber.
Shawn is bringing Macy.
Cameron is bringing Sarah
Lauren's plus one was already invited.

I'm pretty the rest of the guys are going single.

"Cassidy come down here please!" My dad yells from downstairs. No matter how many time I tell him to call me Cassi he never does so I've given up.

"What's up?" I asked him.

"Would you and the girls like a girls day? I'll treat. You guys can buy fancy dresses, shoes, nails, hair, and makeup." He asked me.

"Um well. We like doing our own hair and makeup. It's fun dressing each other up." I say and get that out of the way. "Getting our nails done is way to expensive so I'm pretty sure we can do them ourselves. But if it's okay, we will go buy dresses and shoes?"

"Of corse princess. Make sure everyone gets a dress they love. Sarah too! I like that girl!" He laughs and I laugh with him.

"She's nice. She was my nurse for the surgery. She's a practice nurse at least, that's why she is Cams age." I inform him and he nods.

"Well I'll see you later. Remember, we had to leave here around seven o'clock." He tells me handing me the credit card and my keys from the key hook.

I texted the girls and we would swing by and pick Sarah up since its on our way.

I stay what I'm in which is...
High waisted blue skinny jeans.
Pink crop top that ends above my belly button.
Open toed sandals.

I brush through and braid my hair to the side so it's out of the way.

The girls show up and we are on our way to the mall after we pick up Sarah.

-

We are still shopping after a half hour and none of us have found anything.

"Ooo I found something I like!" Macy squeals and rushes into the dressing room, we all wait patiently for her to come out.

She's dresses in a all black mid thigh length puffy dresses. It's a halter top but the black is see through so you can see her skin. She choose these gold heels and gold jewelry to go with it. And a gold small handbag.

We all clap loudly in agreement.

(A/N im gonna list them. I'm lazy.)

Amber:
Black and white dress with the black in a strappy design.
Mid thigh length.
All black wedges.
All black jewelry
Chain strap and black small purse

Sarah:
Mid thigh length pink dress.
Sides cut out in triangles and the boob area is glammed out.
Shoulder straps.
Sliver heels and jewelry
Sliver clutch.

Malory:
Mid thigh plain white dress with the back cut out into a heart
Soft pink heels covered in sparkles
Soft pink jewelry and clutch.

Lauren:
Floor length black dress with shoulder straps that's skin tight and flares at her knees. The back has a triangle cut out that ends right before her butt. Silver body chains covering her back. (Above)
Sliver heels. Sliver jewelry. Sliver clutch.

I had no clue what I wanted I kept searching and searching and the girls kept holding up these beautiful dresses but when I tried them on they didn't feel right.

But then I found it. The perfect dress.

Floor length dark pink skirt. Pearl beaded belt. The top with white covered in beaded pearls. It was strapless and a sweetheart neckline. (Above)

I tried it on and walked out the girls started clapping loudly. The dress was long enough to where if I wore heels it would still be floor length. I grabbed all white wedges, simple white jewelry, and a white with pearl detailed clutch.

We paid and then went to the food court to get food. We all decided on Taco Bell. I got my usual and sat down.

"I'm so tired." Sarah complains. We all laugh and she looks at us like we are insane.

"Oh honey. This is just the beginning" Lauren pats her head and she gives us a worried expression. We laugh and head home.

-

We are all ready. I fix up my nude lipstick and spray a little hair spray in. I'm nervous. I walk out and peak my head. Everyone is in a tux except Skylnn and Nila.

I see Skylnn walking up up the steps and I rush into my room again. "Guys it's time to go!" She says sassily. All the girls walk out and just as I'm about to Skylnn stops me. "Hold my had and walk down with me?" I hold out my hand and we walk down the steps.

Dad and Matt are staring at us. Once we reach the bottom Dad comes over and gushes. "My princess'" he hugs us then Matt walks over.

"My queen" he takes my hand and spins me around like we are dancing. I laugh and hide into his chest.

"So what's the transportation arrangement?" Nila asked.

"The kids have the limo. Skylnn you are riding with Mom and Dad" my dad says and Sky shrugs walking out the door. We all laugh and follow the sassy four year old.

We get settled and Taylor keeps staring at Lauren. "Lauren you look nice" Taylor smirked.

Carter shoots his head in Tays direction. "Watch it Caniff" he points at him.

Taylor glances my way. "Don't even think about it." Nash and Matt say at the same time making everyone laugh.

-

We had just eaten dinner and then everyone started dancing with their dates. The guys who didn't have any decided it'd be funny and dance with each other.

Mine and Matt's song came on. Love Don't Change by Jerameith (I'm to lazy to look up the spelling)

We start dancing and we whispers sexual things in my ear and I laugh. He keeps doing it and it's starting to get annoying so I start to walk away but he grabs my wrist spinning me into his chest.

"I'm sorry I'll stop" he whispered in my ear.

I spent the night with my love and I, for one, am perfectly okay with that.
