FIVE
Nick almost lost balance as a force pulled him forward making him bump his head on the dashboard, luckily his seat belt rescued him. "Why the hell would you do that? Oouch!" He lamented checking his forehead for scrapes. Luckily there was none.
"Clubbing?" James asked again. This time sparing him a strong glance.
"Yeah. I've missed my girls. Got a problem with that?" Nick challenged. He knew James hated clubbing. Not his thing.
'Nick again is unbelievable!' James thought. "You know I hate clubs. It's been like forever since I've been there."
"Exactly. You don't even remember when last you had fun. It's my treat and I choose where I want my money to be spent," Nick smiled wickedly.
James shook his head in disappointment, "Why are we friends again?"
"Coz I saved your ass from Jimmy?" Nick eyed him.
Jimmy was a bully from kindergarten. James hated him a lot but Jimmy loved intimidating him. It was at the time his parents had died and he had no one to defend him since fat jimmy always scolded and made fun of him. Then little Nick appeared like a warrior and saved him by reporting to the teacher. Since then, they became best of friends till date.
Giving him a long - I would always be indebted to you - glance, James felt like crushing him.

Dim lights, loud music and stamping feet. James knew where they were - lively spirits club.
Within a few seconds as they stepped into the clubhouse, Nick found himself a dancing partner or partners actually since there were many of them.
James shook his head in regrets, he knew he was left out. He had thought they would catch up like old times but seeing all these, he knew that wasn't going to happen.
The clubhouse had a little restaurant attached to it, so he quietly sat there gulping wine as he waited for Nick who had started having fun with no thoughts of James in mind.
At his right was a pretty lady almost naked staring at him, her hands caressed her exposed clavicles and slowly rubbed her upper busts in an attempt to seduce him. She bit her lower lip seductively and winked at him as he glanced at her. James turned away from her almost immediately. Beauty can be deceitful....
The party was rocking, he could see Nick. Girls rocked him and he tried to accommodate them all.
The rotating colored lights at every corner of the room made the scene more lustful. Bodies on bodies, hands on hips, hips on hips, hands on boobs.....
He sighed, Nick and girls. He hadn't changed since high school.
He shifted his gaze to a different direction and saw the most shameless of all. Skin to skin...a half naked woman sucking a man's dick. The man seems to be enjoying the pleasure as he closes his eyes with his hands shoving the girl inside the more with a tightened grip on her scattered hair....
James turned away in disgust.
"Excuse me?"
A female voice came from behind. He turned to meet a damsel in a sea blue joint suit. Her eyes were dreamy and her blue pupils added charm to her smile. She had double eyelids and long lashes. A perfect nose and small red lips. Her chin was upright and had a little touch of red blush.
She was the most beautiful lady he had ever met. Maybe coming to the club wasn't a bad idea.
He drooled at her.
"Can I join you? She asked again, pointing at the empty seat.
James snapped back to reality and nodded. Her scent was alluring and magnetic too.
"Merlin," she introduced, extending her hand for a shake with a pretty smile.
"James," He thought her smile was rather captivating as he took her hand. He felt an electric spark run through his veins and the urge to have her arose at their contact.
She saw it. The burning desires her charm created in him.
"You are pretty," he said. He was actually shy, very shy.
Merlin blushed, placing a strand of hair at the back of her ear, "You don't look bad yourself." She replied with a giggle.
James couldn't resist her beauty. At that moment he realized he wanted her in his life.
"Are you alright? I noticed you were disturbed. Hope I'm not intruding?" She asked with a worried expression.
James sipped his wine, "Nah....Just stress." He replied smiling at her,
"Please forgive my manners, what would you like?" He asked, realizing he should offer her something.
"Wine." she said, rolling her eyes.
James chuckled as he called the waiter.
In a moment, the waiter arrived with a wine and flute. He dismissed the waiter and served the wine himself.
James looked around kind of worried.
"Searching for someone?" She asked.
"I actually came with a friend. I can't see him anywhere," He sounded troubled as he tightened his grip on his glass nervously.
"I'm sure he is okay. Having fun probably," she replied, looking at the direction of his eyes.
"Did you come alone?"
"Yes," Merlin replied, biting her lips softly.
James stared at her in disbelief.
"Why? Do I look like I came with my boyfriend?". She queried his look.
"Sure. Where is he?"
"I don't have a boyfriend," She replied, sipping her wine.
The music grew louder, it captured her attention and she nodded her head at the rhythm of the music unknowingly.
"You like music?" James asked, noticing her change of mood. She looked livelier.
"Yes. I'm a dancer." She replied smiling.
"Wow!...you don't mind showing me your moves, do you?.... Dance with me." He offered her a hand with the cutest smile ever.
She obliged with a Chuckle taking his soft hands.
"You sure have your ways with words," she whispered into his ear. He smiled.

Nick was busy doing what he loved best - satisfying his eyes and body in the most desirable way.
He was just done sleeping with the third girl that night, yet he wasn't ready to go home. Girls circled him and he didn't need much grammar for them to understand he wanted to see their dancing moves on bed.
He had almost forgotten he came with someone too and already drank himself to stupor.
::::::::::
He held onto her hip nervously as she placed a hand on his shoulder. They moved slowly to the rhythm of the music, one step at a time. She was good at it.
He let the music take over and cleared his thoughts by just staring at her. He was drooling yet again and she feigned ignorance.
As they danced, he felt more connected to her. He wanted her. She was damn pretty and her smiles were heaven...no, breathtaking. He hadn't met anyone like her ever before!
'I should ask her out' he contemplated but on a second thought she might get a wrong impression of him. They only just met!
'Am I in love already?' He asked himself. She was just amazing and had that trigger smile.
"I have never felt like this before," She murmured, staring at his eyes. They were holding each other and their faces a few inches away.
He swayed her around and she landed on his chest. James could hear his own heart beat loudly. Merlin loved the scent of his body and she could feel his breath heavily on her neck.
He faced her and they both chuckled letting each other go in an instant.
"What was that?" James gasped for breath as let go of her hand.
"I have to go." she replied as she glanced at the clock above the cabin.
"Wait!" He reached out but she was gone.
