Chapter Six: James

Friday night, two days later. I dialed James' number. Scott didn't even know I was planning for James to come over so I had to be careful that I didn't get caught.

Someone picked up, "James?" I asked.

"I'm his brother, Cody." He introduced himself, his voice had a high pitched tone of a real stud who was about a year into puberty. Wow, he sounds cute, I wonder how old he is. I thought to myself.

"Oh, Is James there? Can I talk to him?" I asked, with a sense of urgency in my voice.

I talked to James and told him what was going on. James said he would come in a few minutes. Jon and Scott had no idea who I called, in fact, they didn't even know why I had left the room.

"Why'd you leave Gabe?" Jon asked me.

"Oh, Ummm . . . I had to talk care of something real quick." The look on both Scott's and Jon's eyes said that probably wasn't why I left.

"Oookay, we're going to watch I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. Could you make some popcorn?" Jon asked me.

"Oh, ummm, sure Jon. Do you want anything Scott?" I needed to watch the door anyway.

"I guess I'll have a Coke" He replied.

"Cool." I said.

I ran to the kitchen and opened the windows. I then proceeded to turn off all of the lights in the house, except for a few in the bedrooms. I didn't want James coming over and thinking that no one was up. I want to make that night for Scott and Jon as scary as possible. Besides, I had a great entrance planned for James.

"Hurry Gabe, the movie is starting!" Scott yelled to me.

"Coming." I hollered back.

I got back to see the opening seen. When Julie James talk to the priest, or who she thinks is the priest. That wasn't one of my favorite parts, but at least I knew that she wasn't dead. At about two minutes into the movie, there was a loud clanging sound outside. Everyone jumped.

"What was that?" I sat up alarmed.

"I don't know, go check it out Gabe." Scott said, pushing me at the door.

Being "the man" I walked outside and onto the deck. My whole backyard was saturated with fog. Suddenly, the door slammed behind me.

"Go up to my room and lock the door!" I screamed to them.

Both Jon and Scott locked the door and ran up to my room. I was left alone to investigate what had made all of the noise outside. Why now? Why when I had just been watching a scary movie?

"What do you think is happening?" Jon asked Scott.

"I don't know Jon." Scott replied, "But I don't think we have to worry. Gabe'll bash whoever's heads in that's scaring us."

Scott and Jon were clearly scared and huddled into a corner of Gabriel's room. Little did they know that whoever slammed the door shut was also inside the house with them. It had been around five minutes and Gabriel hadn't come back yet when they heard someone knock on the door.

"That must be Gabe now." Said Jon, turning the knob on the door.

Jon opened the door and the bodies of both Gabriel and James fell at the feet of Jon.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Jon screamed.

"Oh my god!" Scott cupped his hands over his mouth.

Next through the door was someone dressed in a black SCREAM outfit with a huge kitchen knife. Scott and Jon both presumed that he was the person that killed Gabriel and James. Whoever it was in the SCREAM outfit was, he pointed at Jon and said, "You're next!"

'Geez, how long do we have to stay dead?' I said to myself.

Cody started walking towards Jon. 'Okay, showtime.' I jumped to my feet, pulled Cody around, knocked the knife out of his hand and pulled off . . . his mask. I turned around and helped James up. We all stood in a row and took a bow.

"Some entrance, huh?" I said

"You jerk," Scott hit me in the shoulder, "You scared the shit out of us."

"Sorry Scott." I apologized.

"Jon, this is James. James, this is Jon." I pulled them both together by their hands.

"Ummm . . . hi." Jon extended his hand as he put the other through his hair.

"Hey" James shook it.

"So, what school are you going to go to next year?" Jon asked

I led Scott and Cody out of the room and left James and Jon to talk. Cody and I broke out laughing at the face that Scott still had on. That was the greatest trick that I had ever played on someone. An entrance that should have put Alfred Hitchock to shame.

Scott hit me on the arm, "It isn't funny, you scared me shitless!"

Scott really did look scared. I didn't like seeing Scott unhappy at all. "Aw Scott, I'm sorry" I kissed him, "It's just that I wanted to give James a good entrance and have some fun doing it."

"It's . . . *SMACK* . . . Okay Gabe . . . *SMACK* . . . Just . . . *SMACK* . . . Don't scare me like that." I stopped kissing with Scott when I remembered Cody, leaning on the wall watching us with a wide grin.

"You two," He chuckled.

"What? You want some too?" I grinned

"That's okay, I can call my boyfriend." Cody hinted.

"What are we, some kind of sex house?!" Scott joked.

"Wait a sec . . ." Scott asked.

Cody grinned wildly, "Yeah, I'm gay too."

"Cool, In that case . . . Go call your boyfriend, the more the merrier!" Scott said.

I don't know why Scott had said that, I don't even know why I agreed. There was then a total promise of an orgy breaking out if I wasn't careful of what I did. I mean, I wouldn't mind an orgy at all, but Scott and I had not even made love yet. So, I wouldn't feel right without doing a little more with Scott, alone.

Cody's boyfriend, Mark, came over and we sorted out the sleeping arrangement. Jon and James would be in my room, Cody and Mark would be in the guest room and Scott and I would be in the family room. I gave everyone extra special instructions the shouldn't moan too load and I tossed them a couple of condoms. Everyone went into their rooms and that left the house to Scott and I. I laid down on the blanket that I spread out with Scott.

"Hold on, I have to set the mood." I stood up and popped R.E.M.'s "In The Attic" into the CD player and laid back with Scott.

We lay there for a few minutes. Just sitting and watching eachother. Touching and feeling. He started getting turned on, visibly turned on. Which turned me on too.

"It feels good to be here with you. Ummm . . . Gabe . . Do you uh . . want to . . you know?" Scott asked me.

"You sure? 'Cause I don't want for us to do it if you aren't ready." I checked with him.

"Yeah, I'm positive."

Scott turned to face me and I started to kiss him tenderly. He reciprocated by pushing his hand up my shirt a running his fingers along my chest, sending tingles down my spine. We kissed even harder, our passion fueling our movements. Scott slipped off my shirt and jeans and I helped Scott out of his jeans shirt and underwear. I moved my hands all over his body, slowly moving down to the tent in his jeans.

"You're positive?" I asked one more time.

"Yes, I have never been more sure in my life." He replied.

I tore open the condom wrapper and took out the condom . . .

I awoke the next day to be greeted by a beautiful summer's morning. Just as last night when Scott and I fell asleep, Scott was in my arms and we were both on the floor. I quickly got up and noticed a slight breeze pass across my legs. Looking down I noticed that I wasn't wearing anything. What's more is that I heard voices coming close to the door. I panicked and shook Scott gently so he would wake up.

"Scott, get up!!" I whispered to him, "People are coming!!"

Scott jumped up and we quickly put our sweat pants and shirts on. No sooner had we done that did the door open and both James and Jon walked in, arms draped over each other. They looked happy, obviously because of last night.

"Mmmm . . ." I hinted, "Sleep good?"

"You can say that." James said.

"Or you can just say we fucked our brains out." Jon finished.

"Nice choice of words." Scott said.

"But, we would say something less primative." I finished.

"Like . . . 'We had vicious sex all night long'." Scott finished for me.

We all looked at each other and burst out laughing. After Jon and Scott had already turned blue laughing Cody and Mark burst in. Both had small amounts of sweat on their faces. And wide smiles on their faces. Ahhh . . . the labido of our generation.

"Hey guys." Cody smiled.

"Hey Cody, you look happier than when you came over." I commented, "Actually, you looked like someone had just told you that you have two hours to live. Compared to now, of course."

Cody gave a mock smile.

Very close to synchronized we all sat down on the couch, Scott on my lap. I flipped on the tv and turned it to MTV. We watched Total Request Live for a while until my stomach growled. Some of the other boys must have been having the same thought as me because they were all looking around the room (for food?). Finally, after five minutes of looking, Cody jumped off of Mark's lap and said, "I'm hungry."

There was a chorus of "Me too" and "So am I" after that.

I led everyone into the kitchen and we all had breakfast. The house was quiet while we were all eating our breakfast. My mom and dad had to go on a business trip and had let me invite some friends over to keep me company. They didn't say I could scare the crap out of them upon inviting them over, but, it was fun so I guess that could be one exception.

There was a wild conversation about what everybody "did" the night before. I was timid to share such personal details but Cody and Mark jumped at the chance. They told us everything that they did and spared no details. I was actually kind of interested in what two twelve and eleven year old boys could do together. It seems that last night, they tried oral intercourse for the first time. That was exactly what I expected. They probably still thought kissing was "gross". That's kids for you. Soon after breakfast everyone's parents came and the kids left.

Nothing happened that day. But that night I had planned something special for Scott and I.
