City at Dawn

Chapter Two: James

James Nicholas Bass

I kiss her hungrily as her hands roam all over my body. She moans when I tug at the hem of her shirt and she takes it off leaving her half-naked.

"Your room is nice." She attempts small talk as I rip off her tight little skirt.

"Yeah, whatever." I shut her up and kiss her neck. Throwing her on the bed, I grab a condom from the top drawer of my nightstand and climb on top of her.

Twenty minutes later I'm telling Crystal, Cassie or whatever her name is, goodbye. She was hot and all, but she definitely didn't do much for me. Still, I took a quick shower before calling three of my boys to meet me at the club for late lunch.

To be truly honest, I had become quite lonely with all my siblings gone. Henry lives in London, Laura was in Paris and Izzy went off to Aspen with her friends for the most part of the summer. It doesn't help that our parents are hardly ever home.

I have plenty of friends, but I'm still really close to my siblings and having them all gone made me want to have girls over. More than I usually do.

When I got to the club, Oliver was the first one to greet me. Sitting at our usual table by the window, he wore his usual cocky grin, as he raised his hand and wiggled his fingers in salute. Beside him is Will, one of my good friends. Unlike Oliver, he just sits there and nods his head at me.

"Look who decided to give us a call." Oliver Dalton has been a buddy of mine since middle school even though he is a year younger than me. He is the kind of guy people get annoyed of after some time. With his amused smile and his imprudent comments, people get tired of him easily. But something about him made me like him enough to consider him one of my good friends. So I kept him around.

"I've been busy," I said once I took a seat.

"Doing what? Fucking girls?" He teased me, wrapping his arms around his chest and leaning back into his chair.

"Senior year is starting, man. We got to enjoy it while it lasts." I motion for the waiter to come.

"Can't argue with that." Will smiled. We order our drinks and talk about our summer as we wait for Sebastian to arrive. He's always late for everything, so we weren't surprised when he arrived fifteen minutes after I did.

"Sorry, I'm late. Got caught up with something." He took a seat and grabbed the menu. Sebastian Fitzwilliam Archibald is like the little brother I never had. We are more than best friends, I mean, I have more trust in him than anyone else. His father and mine are best friends too, so that's how we met. Even though he is a year younger than me, he has the mentality of an older man. That's one of the things I like most about him. His maturity. He isn't some hormonal seventeen-year-old boy. He's a grown man, which I appreciate because I know that I am not.

"What were you doing Sebastian?" Oliver asks with a smirk.

Raising an eyebrow, Sebastian replies, "Nothing that concerns you."

Will and I laugh. Sebastian and I are like brothers, but Oliver is his best friend. They bicker like cats and dogs, but at the end of the day, they will always be good friends.

"Oh come on, tell us," I persuade my brother from another mother. With a sigh, he gave in.

"It was Natalia, again." As soon as he said that, we burst into boisterous laughter. Natalia Rossini is an Italian girl that's been obsessed with my boy over here since she moved to the United States back when they were freshmen and I was a sophomore. She is hot and all, but too desperate for Sebastian's attention.
