Judas kiss
Chapter 43 - You`re my woman now

Sometimes you don't notice certain alterations only because you refuse to. When you love someone, you only see the superlatively good. When you have wanted and always yearned for a parent's love and it finally comes along. You couldn't be happier, a short childhood dream archived. From all the father's days that were missed. All the father's days that made Della miserably dread the thought of going to school. Not like Mother's day was any better with a mother like Marcela. Della was oblivious not a lot of things and she didn't see anything wrong. At the moment she just wanted to convince herself that she did not feel anything for Andre and move on with Spencer.

"He took me in and basically has been there for me ever since.." Spencer explained.

"But why didn't you tell me when we first met, now I'm starting to think my father put you up to courting me?" She replied.

"Mhm, it was a coincident. A very beautiful coincident." Spencer added. Looking around the lavish restaurant that he had chosen to take Della out to. The birthday party had passed and now it was time for him to spend some alone time with Della... with the little brat. Della blushed at his response.

"So do you plan on going back to LA, long distance relationships don't always work out-" She explained as she cut her steak, taking a sip from her red wine.

"We're doing business with the Levetté's so I ought to be here. I'm really just happy with what we have and I don't want to go anywhere far from you..." He put his hand on top of hers. "We will make this work."

"That makes me really happy, Spencer and again thank you for being civil at Leo's party. I know with Andre there, it must have been tense. You will see him more often because of Leo so we just have to deal with that."

"I don't mind honestly, you're my woman now. I won't have a problem with him as long as he know his place as Leo's father and nothing more..."

Della couldn't help but adore that he looked so breathtaking in a black Armani suit. It shaped his lean muscular figure. The tattoos on his neck going unnoticeable. No tie and those glazing green eyes staring back at her with some sort of need. There was obviously sexual tension, she didn't know how it would feel to be with a different man. It excited her. It shaped his lean muscular figure. The tattoos on his neck going unnoticeable.

"I'm your woman." Della laughed giving him a genuine smile. "You're very possessive, Mr Hurst." She teased.

He smirked.

"I can't help it Mrs. Hurst to be, again Della you look very beautiful."

"Not again Spencer." She blushed, he had been complimenting her all evening. Concerning Mrs Hurst to be, they had only been official for a few weeks that would be too fast besides she didn't see herself getting married again. She wanted a boyfriend but not marriage. She knew how much weight it weighed on people. Sometimes people are happier when not married besides marriage was merely a title and no one was loyal nowadays there was absolute no use for it. You could be walking around with someone's last name and a ring on your finger while they cheat on you... wearing their marital ring as well and they would still come home and smile at you. It's oddly scandalous how society has normalized cheating and being unfaithful.

Spencer and Della continued with their mild sweet conversation. He asked if she wanted to come to Portugal with him, it was only for business.

"I have a son.. Spence and I have never left him alone." She explained. Spencer gave her a disappointed look, she found it adorable, unlike Andre who always kept his face clean shaven, Della loved Spencer's tiny stubble. It made him look sexy..

"That's why Andre is here right, to share responsibility." Spencer persuaded. This only left Della thinking really hard, she was conflicted.

"It's just a two day trip, when we first met, I told you traveling was my heartfelt hobby and I want to be able to share that with you."

"I know but-" She was cut off.

"This is my first serious relationship Della. I never ever see a woman twice and I just want you to know that you're really special and I just want to show you how gentleman treat their woman right..." He said softly mocking Andre. "Can't Leo come too, I mean it can be on the weekend."

Spencer failed to dismiss his aggravated look as he clenched his jaw. He was being genuine, he really liked Della.. he liked how compassionate she is. How caring she is and so considerate, her being beautiful was merely a bonus but Jesus Christ. He could not stand her baggage, it was too much. He couldn't stand the little Andre looking brat and he couldn't stand Andre the man himself. He was willing to push all that aside for her but sometimes, it just pissed him off. They would never have any piss in their relationship. Della noticed his expression and the way he pulled his hand away from hers, wiping the corner of his lips with a white napkin.

"Spencer, if you don't like my son. I'm afraid, you're wasting your time and this won't go anywhere. You should know he is my main priority whether his father is there or not. He might have a father already but I expect you to at-least try and have some sort of friendship with him." Della said in a very serious tone, even her smile had disappeared.

"I know.." Spencer sighed. "For you I will try, I'm just not used to kids, I have always been an only child-"

"I don't mean to be rude but I just had to make that clear." She responded.

"I understand." He gave her a genuine smile.

"Tell me more about Leo, I mean if we're going to make this work you might as well-" He said softly, this made her immediately smile before she started talking about all her memories with her little boy, his pet peeves and everything else.

On the other side.

Andre and Leondre were making a five hundred piece puzzle.

"Dad, I'm doing all the work.." Leo complained. His dad immediately put his phone down.

"These are a lot Leo, we won't finish this today.." Andre explained. He had been on his phone being informed of Spencer's move. Of course he had someone follow Adela only for her safety, he respected her privacy but he cared enough for her not to get hurt. "If you helped me, we would finish.." Leo countered.

"Alright bud." Andre said as he started searching for the next similar looking puzzle. It was quiet until Leo voiced out.

"Dad?"

"Yes?" He answered a smile on his lips. He could never get used to Leo acknowledging him as a father. It was an odd but satisfying feeling.

"Do you love mom?" He asked.

Andre didn't even have to think twice.

"With everything I have..."

Leo looked up at his dad. Andre was still baffled by the similarities. His son's blue eyes like his own flickered at him with curiosity.

"I know she loves you too." Leo said immediately going back to the puzzles. A feeling of happiness, profoundly found its way in his chest. There was hope for them, he just had to show her that he had grown matured now and took a stand for his wrongs and more than anything he wanted to be with her with the aim of only making her and their son happy.

Marcela had been fighting with her husband, she had not thought clearly when she brought Lyle to the birthday party and introduced Della as he daughter. Lyle had straight up went and told his father while they were having supper. She had clearly not thought to tell her husband first and this had feuded a disaster as Gerald went to sleep at work.

His last words rang in her head as guilt filled up within her.

"I thought I knew you Marcela but I don't. You have made me realize that I have been living a lie. I won't believe anything you said because you're a filthy liar. How do you even hide a twenty-something year old daughter? I just need to think.. away from you. I don't want to worry Lyle so we cannot show him that we're in conflict with each other. You have ruined my trust Marcela when all I did was love you regardless of you being a hooker.. I took you out of the streets and you failed to tell me this one thing.. you know what don't call me, I will be at the office."

She had so many regrets. Garreth called her wicked, her husband too. She was aware that she deserved it and that day had come-

where she would reap what she sow.0000
