The Billionaire Darkness

Chapter Seventy Nine

Walking down the lawn hours later when the sun had risen to the half way point in the sky. Its warm gleaming rays shot through the air making it so all of us had to wear sunglasses as we carried things down to the Diamond Angel.

"Adrian what the hell is all this rope for?" Hunter asks holding up two coils of rope.

"Hunter do you not have working eyes, look up" Nico muses as I shake my head.

How is half my friend group stupid?

"It's a fucking catamaran dipshit" I mutter walking up the gangplank as Hunter stares up at the sails of the boat.

"Oh" he says looking back down at the rope.

"Someone hit him for me" I call over my shoulder and a few seconds later I hear a thwack and laugh lightly and turn to look.

"How can a pool noodle hurt so much?" Hunter asks rubbing the back of his head while Riley stood holding a pink foam noodle.

"Physics Ambrose, something you should be good at".

"Fuck off".

"I own the boat and the property its docked at, so you can get off any time you want" I say heading up to the top deck where Nico had already gone.

"A fun day with the boys" Riley proclaims opening a cooler and pulling out a can and cracking it open.

"How can you drink those?" I mutter spotting the label on the beer can.

I wouldn't even touch the stuff because I thought it smelt disgusting so why would I drink anything that didn't smell appealing.

Moving the boat out onto the lake I turned on music and got Nico to take out one of the delabelled bottles which was how I marked that it was mine and no one was to touch it.

I had also done that because it was a regular soda and if my brain got cravings I never could ensure what I was drinking was alcohol. It wasn't and I subliminally knew that but it was way of causing sobriety to myself so ot was working.

The wind also felt incredible. I felt free having it running through my dark hair messily rearranging it to not be ridgid.

With my friends I didn't have the need to be so cryptic and unfeeling. I wasn't fully myself that was for full private discretion and came out on lonesome occasions or with Nico who was essentially like a brother to me.

Kate also saw it though I haven't seen my sister since last year and in general honesty I saw here once or twice a year.

I would admit I missed her and did what I could to be supportive and a good brother as she grew as a person. I wasn't her guardian either. I was family and there were many times I'd sent a squad of PPO's to go protect her for a week as an extra precaution, which she allowed me to do as her brother. Katelyn had always known that I'd do next to the impossible for the people I cared about.

I pushed lines and not boundaries.

Here however I never had to worry about any of that. We all may tease one another but at the end of the day we've known one another since we were children, we grew up together, we lived together, we stood by each other, and we'd go to war for one another.

They all knew that I'd burn down the world for them, and I would do it. I'd do just about anything for these idiots and I know that would be returned all I'd have to do is say the word.

Slowing the boat to a stop I used the electric winch to lower the anchor and left the actual wheel area before walking down to the main deck and sat down on the cushions beside the trampoline area though the sail was needing to be put away or the boat would drift harder.
