Summery: When Charlie hears about the tragic death of his multibillionaire former acquaintances Andrus and Lucille Stone he is upset, but not to the point of grieving. But when he gets a mysterious call from their Chief of Security he's surprised and curious. The truth shocks him, but living with it is a lot harder to handle.
Chapter One
Everything is Breaking Down
"Hey Charlie, did you see the news reports about that car accident where that billionaire and his wife were killed?" Amita glanced up at her preoccupied boyfriend, "Charlie?"
Charlie just kept writing, his eyes glued to the equations in front of him, "Okay, I'll do it" he said distantly. Amita rolled her eyes.
"You don't listen to a word I say, do you?" she sighed, shaking her head and smiling fondly. She got up and crept up behind him, then looked over his shoulder at the equation. She gently wrapped her arms around him, resting her chin on his shoulder. He stopped and looked at her. She smiled, "Hi handsome" she whispered. He smiled, pulling her into his arms.
"Hello gorgeous" he whispered back, kissing her gently. She pulled him back onto the old couch, planting light seductive kisses on his lips. He allowed her to sit him down and arrange herself on his lap. She lay her head on his shoulder and blew gently on his ear. He turned her head and kissed her. She deepened the kiss, humming softly with pleasure. She gently pulled away, much to the disappointment of the brilliant mathematician. Charlie poked his lip out adorably at her. She kissed the tip of his nose and smiled.
"Can we ave an actual conversation now?" she nosed his cheek. He chuckled.
"Hmm. What about?" he whispered conspiratorially. She shrugged.
"I don't know. Something" she snuggled up against him. They sat in comfortable silence.
"Did you ask me something about a car accident?" Charlie said suddenly. Amita nodded sleepily, glancing at the clock. 10:34.
"I asked-" she yawned, "-if you had heard about that car accident this morning where that billionaire and his wife were killed".
Charlie shook his head, "No. Who was it?"
Amita yawned again, "Dunno, I forget. They were always on the news, maybe Sloane, or Roan, Broan..." she closed her eyes as her voice trailed off.
"Stone?" Charlie asked quietly. Amita nodded, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Mmm. Something like that. They died in a car accident. And the head of their security was seen rushing their daughter away from the press". She sighed, Charlie's rhythmic breathing lulling her into a gentle doze. He caressed her hair absently, remembering the kind billionaires he had met fifteen years ago.
