Judas kiss
Chapter 67 - You want to be a teacher?

"Please please don't go.." Mila whined her arms wrapped firmly on his waist, considering his height. It was probably a good fit.

"mi amor no me hagas esto dificil.."?Alfredo said softly. They always spoke in Spanish to each other and they planned raising their child in that environment. "estaré solo."?Mila added still not letting go.

"Hang out with Della.." Alfredo replied. He had been taking five hour flights to Mexico twice per week because without him things were falling apart and he needed to be there. He had overstayed in New York trying to win Mila over and as of now she didn't seem keen on moving to Mexico.

"I don't know.. we said we would have lunch but she hasn't called yet." Mila said a little disappointed.

"You're the one who broke the friendship, you should call her first. Plus you know she has a a lot going on for her.." Alfredo replied.

"I didn't think of it that way.." Mila said thoughtfully.

"We seriously need to talk about us and how this will work because Mexico?es casa."

Mila frowned.

"Your home not mine." She said a little bitterly.

"You don't plan on visiting your family?" Alfredo questioned. Mila didn't want to say this but.. she didn't want to be seen with Alfredo. Even though she had admitted to loving him which she really did. She just couldn't bring it upon herself to proudly tell her family that she had somehow reunited with the man they called the devil and she was carrying his child. Everyone in Mila's village had some sort of hate and fear for the Molinero family. They were the wealthiest and most respected, people suspected they did shady businesses but no one could prove it and no one would dare say it. It was pretty clear that they were a mafia of some sort from Alfredo's great grandfather.

The Rivera family personally hated the Molinero family because their grandfather was killed in a tragic shoot out. He had not been involved. Many years back their Abuelo owned a little market down town and when he heard the noise, he went out and got shot four times. He became an example that people told their kids for generations that if you hear any noise especially gunshots, do not dare go out. Stay under and hidden and this was what their village had been accustomed to. It was sad that their Abuelo had been an example. "No." Mila said dismissively.

"I will marry you eventually if that's the problem and I will pay for making you pregnant beforehand." Alfredo said pulling her back into his arms. His hands making their way to her stomach, he found so much pride and joy in knowing that he was going to be a father with his first love, his first sexual experience, his first. So many nights he dreamt about her and thinking she was dead had broken him because he thought he could never love again and as of now it had made him very appreciative of her.

Mila gulped down a feeling of hysteria, she couldn't marry him. She had not spoken to her family in so long and she was well aware that they would probably disown her on the spot. She missed them, she missed her two older brothers Santiago and Gonzalo who were so angry that they threatened to kill Alfredo if they ever came in contact with him. They had always been overprotective of their little sister. It wasn't that easy... being with Alfredo.

"We don't need to get married.." Mila said almost immediately. This was hard for her, it was hard on her part. If they got married she knew it wouldn't be a small wedding. The president of Mexico would probably be present. The Molinero had ties with the government for as long as she can remember. Some people left for a better life but the Molinero's remained because they lived in riches.

"I want to marry you-" Alfredo was interrupted by Felipe.

"Your flight leaves in thirty.."

"I will see you when you get back tomorrow." She was relieved that their conversation had been interrupted. She stood on her tippy toes and gave him a perk on his lips but he deepened it. "Felipe is here if you need anything." He said in a serious tone. "My number is number 1 on speed dial.."

"I know, I know..." She smiled.

"Your Doctor is number 3 on speed dial, I told her to do house calls when needed."

"Okay Alfredo.." She giggled pushing him out the door. Felipe couldn't help but cringe as the couple kissed and continuously said?'okay last one then I go??They acted like teenagers and Alfredo worried too much. She would be safe as long as he was around. Felipe wouldn't let anything happen to her or the baby. Felipe was excited for Alfredo, he had watched him grow that it felt as if he was going to be an uncle to this child. Alfredo had always been a sad child and Felipe was happy to witness him being happy.?

Della had prepared Apple pie for her father. She had decided to go check on him because spending all this time alone wasn't good for him. Besides being at the hospital, she wondered if he was eating right. If he was alright. If he was holding up well. "Della, what a surprise!" He said when the elevator had opened revealing his daughter.

"I'm really glad you're home like I suggested.." She smiled putting the Apple pie container on the kitchen island covered with a paper towel all around. She could tell by the way the kitchen was empty and the sink had absolutely no dishes that he hadn't been eating. "I actually have a bit of company that's why.." Garreth said awkwardly. Della was embarrassed that he had not noticed the woman sat in the far corner of his penthouse.

"Oh.. I'm sorry I didn't see you there.."

"You must be Garreth's daughter. He speaks so highly of you." She said in a calm tone. The woman had blonde shoulder length hair and wore spectacles.

"This is my... psychiatrist.." Garreth said a bit embarrassed.

"Oh.." Della immediately felt bad for having had other thoughts.

"Mrs Hollins but you can just call me Carlene." She said.

"Nice to formally meet you Carlene. I just didn't know my father was getting.. help"

"I would have been at the hospital but I have my sessions on three times a week." Garreth said fondly. "Thank you for the Apple pie, smells delightful."

"Well let me not disturb you then.." Della added.

"No no, infact you should join us. This will be good for Garreth and your father-daughter relationship.. that's if you have some time to spare." Carlene suggested.

Della was very open to it. That was how she spent a hour with her father and his psychiatrist. They had Apple pie and a bit of wine, laughed here and there. She learnt new things that she never knew about Garreth for some odd reason this had actually made them closer than they had been before.

"You're coming?" Luc said through the phone.

"Yes, for the summer. I still need to speak to Della first." Andre said biting on his pen clearly distracted by the phone call he had been having as of present.

"To Lyon or South of France?"

South of France-

Had always been Andre's favorite holiday getaways. Luc knew that all too well. The South of France has always been one of the most popular holiday destinations for celebrities, VIPs and the world's elite with its beautiful scenery. You could replace most royal families at the South of France. It was a luxury only the extravagant would dare explore.

"I'm still a bit indecisive, we will probably be in Lyon for a week. Checking on papa and I want Leo to learn his heritage. Also I need to fix his dual citizenship, I don't want him having problems later in the future.. you know he needs to know that France is his home, no matter where he goes." Andre explained.

"Good idea, you're such a great father. Fixing your kids documents before it's of need." Luc replied.

"I suppose.." Andre chuckled. "Then I will probably dump Leo and Lyle with you and papa while I have some quality time with my woman. She needs a break from everything.. especially now that she is pregnant, stress could be a huge factor."

"No problem, I can't wait to hang out with Leo and Lyle. Especially since I have decided to pursue teaching. Congrats woah you're both moving fast huh.." Luc added.

Andre was surprised.

"Ami, you want to be a teacher??" Andre chuckled clearly shocked.

"Not just any teacher, a middle school teacher. I spoke to papa and I start next semester after the summer at Paris West University."

"Wow, ami I'm so proud of you. Beyond proud, I'm really glad you're trying to figure yourself out."

"Oui, I have wasted so much time." Luc said softly.

"It's never too late. I'm still proud. Have you spoken to mama?" Andre asked out of the blue.

"Uh not really.." Luc said his voice lacking enthusiasm.

"She seems miserable and lonely. Lonely enough to eat carbs and tolerate everything she hates.."

"You're not serious?" Luc chuckled.

"She had lasagna last night, not by her special chef but by Della."

"Fuck outa here, ami!" Luc burst out laughing knowing that her mother had meal peeps for every food intake she had. Jeanine had meal preps for years and carbs were always off her list.

"I'm telling you.." Andre chuckled.

"Well I'm speechless. She needs to start eating, her modeling career ended atleast ten years ago." Luc said.

"Yeah.. you're right." He paused. "How's papa?"

"Papa is alright, he is working in a project. He is helping build a school in Haiti, he has been busy with his charity foundations."

"Are you sure he is alright?" Andre insisted..

"Yes, ami. I know it's too soon to tell but there is this lady, who runs an orphanage. They have been too close for comfort. Papa gives me money to go out every time? just so he can have dinner with her at the Lyon mansion." "Wow, that makes me happy. I'm glad he is atleast trying to move past this."

"Yeah.. she is a really nice lady."

Norah signaled that his meeting was about to start and that he needed to go.

"I will speak to you soon ami. Work calls.." Andre dismissed.

"Alright thanks for the call and I just want to say, I appreciate the good and supportive brother you have always been to me."

Andre smiled.

"You don't need to." He paused. "I will always be here for you either way."0000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
