Chapter 6
"Aren't you ready to go to bed yet? We gotta get up early in the morning." Adam yawns as he walks into Tim's office.
"Yeah, I'm almost done." Tim says as he glances up from the papers he was looking over and smiles at his sleepy husband. "And we don't have to get up that early. We can leave at any time."
"So, what are you looking at?" Adam asks with another yawn.
"Bank statements." Tim answers.
"Are we broke?" Adam asks with a serious tone.
"Not quite." Tim chuckles at his husband's seriousness. He removes his glasses and lays them on the desk then leans back in his chair. Picking up the statements, he holds them out to Adam.
"You're going to let me look at them?" Adam asks with a shocked expression.
"You're my husband. You should know what's in our bank account." Tim states, still holding the papers out to the blond. "But then, if you don't want to know." Tim adds as he starts to lay the papers down.
"Who said I didn't." Adam says as he quickly snatches the bank statements.
Tim smiles as he crosses his legs and folds his arms over his chest. Watching Adam's face carefully.
"Tim?" Adam says softly as his eyes grow larger. He glances up and then backs down at the papers. "Oh. My. God."
"You look a little pale, Sweetheart." Tim smirks.
"I...I need to sit down." Adam says as he lays his hand on his chest.
Tim uncrosses his legs so Adam could sit down in his lap.
"Five ... five." Adam was unable to form a sentence as he slowly sits down on his husband's lap still staring at the papers. "Holy sh*t! Five...?"
"Five hundred million to be exact, Angel Face. That's in our regular bank. There are two banks in Switzerland holding twenty-five million each. Like I said before, my father was a very smart businessman BUT he was an even better con-artist." Tim says as he gently pulls at his chin whiskers. "No one ever suspected him. Being an only child, I got every single dime of it."
"Oh, my God. I mean, I knew you were rich but this?" Adam says as he leans back into his husband's arms.
"But, it's your's too, Sweetie." Tim whispers in his ear. "And tomorrow, we'll be flying to Belize in style. In the Foust private jet. It's fueled and ready to go whenever we get there."

The ticking of the clock on the wall as the pendulum swung back and forth was the only sound. The gang sat quietly in the den as they waited impatiently for Tim and Adam.
All their luggage had been packed in the van the night before.
"What time is our flight? Does anyone know?" Avi asks, breaking the silence.
"Nope." Eddie answers as everyone else only shakes their head.
"Maybe they overslept." Austin says.
"No, they're awake. I heard voices from inside their room as I walked by." Chris says.
They all looked at the doorway as they heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Adam giggling at something Tim had said.
The couple walks into the room, holding hands and smiling. Tim had a bag hanging from his shoulder that contains their last-minute pack-ups.
Their smiles fade as they see the seriousness of their friends' faces.
"What's wrong? Did someone die?" Tim asks as he looks around at their faces.
"WHAT'S WRONG!!??" Avi says loudly as he stands up from his seat. "We've been sitting here for a freaking hour waiting on you two!"
"I never told you to get up before the break of dawn." Tim says calmly, shaking his head.
"What time is our flight?" Chance asks.
"Relax, we have plenty of time." Tim says with a smile. "Y'all ready?"
"YOU had better not made us miss our flight." Avi says as he points his finger at Tim's face.
Tim raises a brow as he wraps his hand around the shorter man's finger.
"And you, Tiny One, need to remember who made all the arrangements." Tim says as he looks at the green-eyed man. "And you also need to remember that I don't like someone pointing their finger in my face."
"I love you, Timbo." Avi says with a smile.
"Get in the van." Tim laughs as he smacks Avi on the butt.
~~
Everyone waited in the terminal as Tim talk to the lady at the desk. She nods and makes a phone call as Tim walks back over to join the group.
"Well, what now?" Eddie asks.
"We wait." Tim says as he sits down.
"Aren't we supposed to be seeing when our flight takes off or something?" Kirstie asks. "Is there a delay?"
"Nope, we wait." Tim says as he picks up a magazine and begins thumbing through it.
"Mr. Foust? Timothy Foust?" An older gentleman in a pilot uniform approaches.
"Yes?" Tim stands and shakes the pilot's hand.
"It's a pleasure to finally meet Regan's son." The man smiles. "I'm Captain Hanks. Tom Hanks."
"I had heard my dad speak very highly of you, Mr. Hanks." Tim smiles.
"Are you ready to board?" The captain asks.
"I believe so." Tim nods. Tim reaches and takes Adam's hand and follows the pilot.
The gang gives each other puzzled looks but follows behind them.
"So how long are you guys staying in Belize?" Captain Hanks makes conversation as they walk.
"At least two weeks." Tim answers.
"It's absolutely beautiful. Have you ever been?" The pilot asks as he opens the door leading out to the landing field.
"No, it's the first for all of us." Tim says as they exit the building.
"There she is. Fueled and ready to go." Hanks smiles as he points to the private plane sitting on the runway. "All your luggage is already on board."
"Oh, my Lord." Esther says as the gang stops walking and stare at the plane on the runway.
"This is how we're getting to Belize?" Austin asks.
"Bossman? Is this yours?" Chris asks.
"Yep, it was left to me by my father. I've never actually been inside it." Tim says as he stops and looks at his frozen friends. "But if you'd rather take a different flight and put up with screaming kids kicking the back of your seats...."
"Hell, No." Eddie quickly answers.
"This is totally rock and roll." Avi says with a huge grin. "Are we special or what."
"I was definitely not expecting this. Sweetie, it's beautiful." Adam says as he squeezes his husband's hand.
"Sorry, I didn't tell y'all. Kinda wanted it to be a surprise." Tim says as they continue their way to the plane.
"Welcome to the Lady Dena. Your dad's pride and joy." The pilot smiles as he lowers the steps for them to climb aboard. "Watch your step."
"Wow." Tim says quietly as he boards the plane. "Now this is what I call traveling in style."
"HOLY SH*T, TIMBO!" Avi says loudly as they all stare at the interior of the plane.
Eddie moans in pleasure as he eases down into one of the seats.
"Now this, I like." He nods with a smile.
"Oh, my God." Kirstie smiles as she sits down on the couch. "The seats are so comfortable."
They all run like children as they claim their seats.
"Make yourselves comfortable and we'll be on our way. I do ask that you stay seated during take-off. Enjoy your flight." The captain says before heading to the cockpit.
"This is amazing." Adam giggles as he slides back the cover on the window so he could see out.
"You guys are acting like you've never been on a private plane before." Nate chuckles.
"We haven't." Everyone answers in unison then start to laugh.
