~Sapphire Blue Sky Tower~

Adam was still in deep slumber, the lower half of his right hand noticeably disappeared inside the opening of a small bag.

Caden frowned, what's inside in that black bag? He noticed that bag numerous times, actually every night he had seen Adam sleeping with that bag.

Out of curiosity...Caden took a peek at what's inside the small bag. He saw some girl's tank top, shorts, and lacy underwear.

He shook his head in amazement. The garments owner must be Adam's girlfriend, he thought to himself.

Caden grinned from ear to ear.

Head shaking, he walked towards the bathroom, once inside, he splashed cold water on his face.

When Adam told him that he was relocating into the city and asked him if he was willing to go with him, he did not hesitate to go with Adam. They became closer and Adam was the epitome of a brother, best friend, and the family that he never had. Of course, he would follow him anywhere.

Looks like Adam was the catalyst that can turn his life around for good.

They finally arrived in the capital city and it was a huge jungle of a place.

Last night they were unpacking things inside in one of the condo unit on a high rise condominium building complex located somewhere in the southern part of the city.

When they arrived in the condo together with Aunt Ruby, Adam's guardian, the room was semi furnished, appliances and several pieces of furniture were still on their coverings scattered everywhere. All the appliances look like they were just recently delivered and need to be unpacked.

When Aunt Ruby left them on their own to go home, they were already unpacking things and still not finished with everything. They fall asleep after watching movies on TV at 2:00 am.

The condo has two bedrooms, both have their own bathrooms, a living room area, dining and kitchenette area, and a balcony. The condo has a luxurious feel and it has a sleek contemporary interior design that was pleasing to the eye.

The Sapphire Blue Sky Tower is a condo type residential complex that supports urban living and was designed as a resort style community, it boosted a huge swimming pool, an artificial man-made beach, adorned with coconut trees and other luscious green ornamental plants that added a dramatic effect to the tropical feel of the beach with real white sand to enhance the cool and refreshing ocean setting. It was specially designed that way to cater to the enjoyment and pleasure of its high stemmed residents.

The beach splendid beauty can be seen above the balcony.

Caden's eyes widen in astonishment at the sight of the bluish man-made beach below the balcony...

He has never been into a beautiful and spacious looking place like this. He grew up in the streets where homeless people were the normal sight to see every day, sleeping on dirty pavements, rummaging foods in the garbage can. That was his normal life.

A long time ago he was one of them until he crossed path with Adam.

And now everything changes...in just a blink of an eye!

Here everything in this tower represents money, power, and ease of living. It's something that only happens in his dreams, but he is now standing at the balcony and gazing wide eye at the sparkling and inviting water below.

This is real!

He is not dreaming. No matter how many times he closed his eyes, every time he opened it, it's the same beautiful, clean and spacious looking community that greeted his vision.

He hit jackpot with Adam!

As a sign of gratitude, he will be willing to do Adam's bidding, do his laundry, clean their rooms, clean the bathroom, sweep the living room, cook food for him every single day and do everything for him.

His grin deepened to matched his happiness.

The balcony has a transparent waist length glass wall. It also has a small wooden round shape table surrounded by two rattan dark chairs. The wind was blowing gently from the west side sweeping Caden's unruly hair.

He sat down on the chair and continues admiring the scenery below the balcony. He surveyed the city landscapes of nearby buildings and high rise establishment.

Fantastic sight!

He won't get tired watching it every day and every night.

Adam watched his friend Caden sitting comfortably in the balcony. Amusement playing in his eyes.

He was leaning on the kitchen's marble countertop.

He was waiting for the electric pot to boil the water. He took two cups from the cupboard, two spoons and washed it in the sink. He tears open the 3 in1 coffee sachet and poured the content into the cups. When the water was already boiled he poured it into the cups, stirred with the spoon and brought them to the balcony.

"Bro, do you like our new home?" asked Adam.

Caden's smile was heartbreaking, like that of a child who had seen the paradise for the first time.

"Like? No. I super duper love this place! It's amazing! his eyes glowed with excitement and happiness.

Caden grinned. "Can't believe we're gonna live in this paradise every fu*king day!" he added enthusiastically.

"Yes, we will be living here for a while and you will get soon used to the surroundings," he said in a calm and relaxed way.

"Thank you, Adam for bringing me here with you. You're the best thing that ever happens to me. Man, you're a blessing from God!" Caden bowed to Adam.

Then he both pressed his palms in a prayer sign and looked up at the sky above.

"Thank you, dear God, for giving Adam to me. Now I know that you have not forgotten me," he blew up a kiss in the heavens above for the sudden change of his destiny.

Adam just smiled at his friend's non stop chattering. He enjoyed watching his glowing face. Seeing him this happy, Adam felt happy as well. Caden's eyes glow with wonderment it never fails to amaze him.

"Stop talking now and sip your coffee before it gets cold!" he chastised him.

Caden obeyed Adam's order and drink his coffee like a king.

"Later we will hit the Gym and Fitness Center and the swimming pool," Adam said smiling.

"Wow, we will build some muscle, biceps, and six-pack and then go swimming, I love that! Let's go!" Caden's excited voice vibrated inside the balcony.

Adam grinned at his friend's enthusiastic reply.

"Later, in two hours time...but not now, we will have to eat breakfast first. Let's go and find some restaurants downstairs," he said.

"Okie Dokie!" replied Caden.
