They met when they were around 21 years old. Chris a young nerd that had invested some monies when he started work at 18 and became a millionaire. He own his own beach front 3 bedroom unit in Tugun overlooking the morning sun rising over the ocean. He did pick the unit that no one else could see in.

Tom was from a well to do family that had left him a few dollars to set himself up with. Unfortunately a few months ago both his parents, who were actually separated, were killed in Africa so, as he thought, he was alone.

They were both at the bar in Surfers Paradise checking out the same lady. A dizzy blond who was playing them off against each other. As they both approached and she asked for their names. They both realised the other could have the dull bimbo. As they talk, they realised they had a lot in common and sat down together getting to know each other.

From that time they became best friends meeting around monthly to chat up a few females for a good night or weekend. Most people thought they were brothers and they had a similar build of 5’8”, light brown hair, a surfers build with an 8 pack. Although neither surfed. They did spend time at the beach swimming and checking out the sights.

Some 4 years later, they were still the best of friends when Dianna started to join them, Dianna known as Di was a companion to Tom. She had black hair, soft smiling lips, deep blue eyes, about 5’7” with an hour glass figure of 32c,20, 30. Chris thought she was his girlfriend and never approached her in any sexual way. Di was a nurse and was the daughter of Tom mother companion. Tom treated her as his sister or step sister but never told Chris.

Four months before the events in this story occurred Di met Chris for their monthly get together in lieu of Tom. She explained he was called away urgently but did not want to miss his mate so I was sent along to entertain him. They had a good evening chatting and really getting to know each other. On this particular evening the offering in the bar were not good and they departed as kissing friends.

The next meet Chris asked Tom about Di and mentioning her was impressed with her. However he would not poach on his property. Tom laughed at this. They enjoyed an evening together and found some nice companions for the night. This time they stayed in the hotel. This was the final time Chris spent with Tom together.

The third meeting Di turned up and was not happy with Chris. As they talked over dinner Di explained that she was not Tom property and was free and available. Chris really apologising, to which Di played on it in a fun way. Chris ended up taking Di home to his unit and they made pleasant love together. Chris really enjoyed their time together.

The fourth meeting Di went to Chris place in Tugun and asked him to attend a meeting in the Versace Hotel Surfers, dress smart casual. This Chris did. He did not have any plans for the day. In the main meeting room were around 80 guests, nearly all were dressed in suits, expensive suits. They sat down for lunch. After the main meal was served Chris said to Di. “I feel a bit under dressed compared to every one here?”

Di replied with wet eyes “You will soon find out why, I’m so sorry, but this is the way Tom wanted it.” Holding his hand. “You know Tom wanted to surprise you, He felt deeply with your true friendship and would not allow anything to break it. I will be here to support you.”

After dessert a tape was played. On the tape was Tom. Very skinny and loss of hair. He started “You have all been told, with the exception of Chris and Di to attend. If this tape is playing them I have died of lung cancer. Most of you are the captains, CEO, etc of my business. From today, you have new owners that is Chris and Dianne. I do not have any direct family that I am aware off so I am leaving my estate to Chris and Di to deal with as they see fit. I have further instructions for them later but please introduce yourselves to them acknowledging them as the new owners or majority share holder of our business. All of you have your five-seven year plans in progress. Keep to those plans unless Chris and Di change them. It’s been a good few years I have had with you, Chris you have been the best friend anyone could have ever wanted. Di you have been my sister for the last 7 years and I know you do truly love Chris, even if he would not poach you from me. That Chris is one of the two secrets I kept from you. The other will be revealed in our next tape which will be played later after this gathering has concluded. I thank you all for your support and guidance since loosing my parents. Please give the same support and guidance to Chris and Di. This, to you is my final Good Bye.” The tape ended.

Chris and Di were crying together with about 80% of the people attending, the rest had wet eyes. The only two who seemed unmoved were James and Jane.

It took about two hours for everyone to leave and return to their own rooms. Di told Chris we have a room here tonight. Chris and Di were introduced to everyone but they were too heart broken to know who was who. They entered their suite at the hotel went to the bedroom and cried together on the massive bed. They slept and missed the dinner call.

The next morning, still dressed in their clothes from the day before, they went for a walk along the beach. Holding hands Chris asked “What Tom said about you, is that true?”

Di replied “Yes, I was Tom companion, he was an only child and my father was his mother companion. His parents only stayed technically married due to their fortune. His father was too interested in archaeology than current life. They were not close. You were Tom best friend. He found, in you, a companion without money being in the way. It was a brotherly mates love. I could have had anything I wanted but when I first met you I could see what Tom saw and I fell in love with you. Sometimes you made me so angry that you did not make a play for me but later Tom explained your attitude and I truly loved you more for that.” She stopped and body hugged kissed him.

Chris looked at Di “If I had known or realised I would have pinched you from him. Tom was my best friend. I am a lonely person finding too many money hungry people wanting my money not me. I found in Tom a very good friend after we so call fought over the blond bimbo, who after she opened her mouth we both tried very hard to get the other to take. We had many times talked about our first meeting. I am so going to miss him.”
