The music pulsed through the walls of the club, a steady beat that vibrated in your chest as you entered alongside the Outer Banks cast. The group had decided to blow off some steam after a long week of press tours, and tonight was all about dancing, laughter, and letting loose.

Madelyn had her arm looped through yours, already giddy from the pre-club cocktails, while JD and Rudy were arguing over who was the better dancer. Drew trailed behind you, his hand lightly resting on your lower back, a habit he had developed to make sure you stayed close.

The VIP section was buzzing as you all settled in, but it wasn’t long before the group hit the dance floor. The cast blended effortlessly into the crowd, moving to the rhythm of the music. Drew leaned down to speak into your ear, his breath warm against your skin.

“You look like you’re having fun,” he said, his deep voice cutting through the music.

You turned to face him, smiling. “I am. Are you going to keep standing here, or are you going to show me those dance moves you claim to have?”

He smirked, offering you his hand. “Alright, but don’t judge me too hard. I only break these moves out for special occasions.”

On the dance floor, Drew pulled you close, his hands resting on your hips as you moved together. The energy between you was electric, a mix of playful teasing and undeniable chemistry. JD and Rudy danced like maniacs beside you, making everyone laugh, while Madelyn and Austin were already capturing the moment on their phones.

When a slower song came on, Drew didn’t let go of you. Instead, he leaned in closer, his forehead almost touching yours as he swayed with you in the sea of people.

“Having fun now?” he asked, his voice softer.

“More than you know,” you replied, your heart racing as he smiled that lazy, charming smile that always made your knees weak.
