"Have you ever seen something more beautiful than this?" I asked my closest friends standing on either side of me leaning against our getaway car not taking my eyes off the red, orange, and yellow flames consuming the estate of Christian Malrose, with him still inside. "You just find it beautiful because fire is destructive and Christian is inside, burning with his house" Madden stated on my left pushing off the car and opening the passenger door. "if we don't want to get caught you two will get your asses in this car before the cops arrive," he said before closing the door waiting for us to drive him around. It's quite funny he is always first in line when it comes to danger but when it comes down to the aftermath he is always the first to leave. Adonis and I have always liked to stick around for the show enjoying the pain of others a little more than we should but Madden does too, deep inside he is just too far up his ass to admit it. Letting out a sigh Adonis gathered his hair in a bun as far as his curls allowed him to and tied it back before pushing off the car as well. "better listen to him before he gets irritated and pisses on our beds again" he said as he opened the back door to the black BMW "if he does that again I will shop his balls off and make him wear them as a necklace" retorted, to which Adonis gave a light chuckle and closed the door as he sat down in the leather seat. he might find it funny but I did it before, not to Madden but to a former classmate at the academy where the three of us met. Justin Martins was his name and he got a little handsy with Madden's sister a few years back. Madden had gotten him good. The former football player was in a coma for six months and when he woke up again and recovered I crept into his bedroom one night and hacked away his balls while being tied to the bed. During my free surgery, he passed out from the pain, and when I was done stitching him up I was not a complete monster. I tied his balls to a string and laid them on his nightstand with a nice handwritten note threatening to kill him if he even looked at the female population of Riverside Academy ever again. Two days later he came to school with his head down and his balls hanging around his neck just like I kindly requested at the bottom of my friendly note to him. A week later Justin was found dead in his bathtub with both his wrists slit, I guess he couldn't handle the embarrassment. pathetic really. but that doesn't matter now. So like the good friend I am, I walked around the black car towards the driver's seat and drove away just in time before the cops could arrive. After making sure that no cop or anyone else was following us I slowed the car down just enough so Madden and Adonis won't have to hold on to the door handles so that they won't go flying through the car. " So what should we do with Christian's assets and belongings not that he has much left, most will be lost in the fire," Adonis asked from the back seat. " We don't need much from his belongings, most are personal anyway but his assets like his hard drives and the documents that we do need, can come in handy in the future" Madden answered his question fidgeting with one of his many silver rings on his fingers. " Okay and how exactly will we get our hands on those?" Adonis asked again, letting his head rest on the window. " Let me worry about those," I told both of them. " and how exactly are you planning on getting them?" Madden asked me suspiciously, giving me a side glance. Resisting the urge to roll my eyes at him I just gave him my million-dollar smile instead and gave him a wink before patting my tattooed hand on his mop of straight short black hair. "Don't worry you're pretty little head about it sweetheart" Scowling he pushed my hand away with a slight pink tint to his cheeks. "Whatever man, just drive me home. Misora is home alone and we have school tomorrow" Placing my hand back on the steering wheel I looked back towards the road. " always mister responsible, you know you should seriously consider just fuck and dumb someone next time you come out with us man" I tried to convince him. " since when is going to the library considered 'going out" he crunched up his nose. " Since forever, you find the freaky girl hiding in plain sight right in the middle of the bookstore," I told him optimistically, holding my hand out with my palm up. Rounding the corner towards Madden's house. " Can you two stop you're flirting, I'm trying to sleep here" Adonis grumbled from the back. "we weren't flirting, you dickhead! Just because you're so hung up on Serena White and can't seem to form a decent conversation with her doesn't mean that you can be an asshole to us, Adonis!" Madden practically shouted over his shoulder at our friend, almost making me deaf in the process. It doesn't matter how many times Adonis and I tease him or hint at him being gay Madden always denies it although it is painfully obvious. It's not like he dresses too feminine or talks a little too much like a school girl although Adonis and I will accept him either way, we have been through too much shit to let Madden's sexuality get in the middle of our friendship. It is his eyes that are a dead giveaway. Every time he sees a hot guy his eyes linger a little too long than just glance at a stranger who dresses funny. or the way his face flushes whenever a guy comes too close to him or compliments him. Adonis and I have already accepted him just the way he is, he only needs to realize that he isn't fully straight himself. but until then we just have to tease him about it. It keeps him young considering he is the grandpa of the group. "Oh shut up at least I like someone and I'm not just some loser hanging out with only my two friends" Adonis fires back a wrinkle already forming between his thick and bushy brows. "Well actually you are, you might like her but you can't even look at her without getting scared and making a fool of yourself "I point out to Adonis which he doesn't like. "You shut up too, it's not like the whole population of girls at school lined up for you" he scowled as he sat back in his seat, his legs spread, looking out the window again from never leaving his face. we'll I do have a variety of choices in Riverside Academy I just rather stick to these two weirdos, but for Adonis's pride, I keep my mouth shut and pull up to the curb right outside of Madden's house or rather apartment complex. he and his little sister live there alone for the past five years now ever since the death of their grandparents, the apartment is shit but Madden couldn't bring himself to move despite having the money for it. but it's not my place to tell him what to do especially when it comes down to the people that raised him and his sister. If I ever dared to do so I do not doubt in my mind that he would cut MY balls off. And I'd rather keep them cuz you know my legacy and shit like that. When I put the car to a stop Madden didn't stop for a second and got out of the car almost in a hurry. " I'll see you two at school," he said before closing the car door and walking towards the front door of the apartment complex. Rolling my window down I hollered back at him. " See you tomorrow Ranuncolo !!" Right before I drove off both Adonis and I could see the long, slender, and pale middle finger of his standing proudly up in the air.
The moment I put the car back into motion Adonis leaned over the passenger and my seat. "Buttercup?" He asked, amused. Giving him a slight smirk I pushed him back with my hand to his face. " don't be jealous Luce del Sole, you'll always be my favorite" he sat back down and grumbled "Shut up"
