Judas kiss

A day had passed. Della felt really awful about what had happened. Her son didn't sleep at home, her son didn't want to come home... everything was just a mess.

"So are you coming back home today?" Della tried to ease the intensity around the breakfast table in her ex-husband home.

"I want to stay with dad." Leo shrugged sadly. Della's heart whimpered, what had she done? literally pushed her son farther away from her. Leo picked at his food clearly not eating, Andre heaved out a sigh.

"You should probably just move back here." Andre suggested. He wanted to protect them both and didn't feel that he would be doing enough if Della was staying alone, in Queens.

"Excuse me?" Della whipped her head to look at Andre who wasn't even looking at her but she wished he was.

"It's a suggestion, you don't have to consider it... if you don't want to." Andre bit back.

"Mommy, you should stay here with us." Leo added defending his father's views.

"Leo, i think you're done with breakfast go up to your room." Della said immediately feeling pissed off and aggravating, if her?abuelo?was still alive God knows; she would have gave him a good beating. Just one hard cold slap would do to be honest. She knew had a room somewhere in this huge house. Leo then purposely dropped his utensils as loud as he can making both his parents look at him.

"Look what you've done!"?Della whispered to Andre who was now starting to see the effects he was having on his son. He honestly did not his want his son to grow up to be like his brother Luc. Growing up while Andre received all the scolding and punishment because he was the first born. They let everything slide on Luc and now looking at how he turned out...?If they?weren't?well off, he would be in the gutters but for how long would they sustain him!

"Leondre, come back here!" Andre said in the most strict voice he could muse. Leondre was almost at the spiraling stairs when his father called him, he rolled his eyes before going to be dining table with a bored look on his face.

"I don't apreaciate that attitude or the way you talk to your mother. Bring that phone?" Andre said in a serious tone unhumorously.

"But dad-" Leo protested.

"Bring that phone and bring that spiderman game thing, as well as your PSP that your mother bought you.... When I get to my office, i want to see them all laid on the table." Andre said giving his son a stern look. He had never ever spoken to his son this way before only because he wanted to win him over but honestly this was all getting too far. "Do you understand what I said?"

Leo only seemed a little unbuffered as both his parents stared at him seriously.

"Mommy-" Leo whinned.

"Nope, Leo listen to your father?" Della said firmly, a hidden smile on her lips.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I'm sorry, I was rude to your boyfriend, I'm sorry dad. Mom, I'm sorry." Leo added trying to manipulate them emotionally. Della knew her son all too well. Andre was about to give in...

"Your father and I might have to cancel this birthday party of yours... if this behavior continues-" Della added.

"But mommy, i already invited Jason and-"

"You heard what your mother said-" Andre said quickly, he was actually enjoying this because for the first time in a while. Della and Andre were getting along. "Pending on your behavior, we will see if this party will even happen." "I'm sorry." Leo sighed.

"You may go up to your room." His mother instructed him, then he immediately did as he was told. Andre smiled then looked at his Adela or was she his anymore??she was smiling too.

"We actually make a good team when we aren't against each other huh?" Della said giving him a sheepish smile, he felt his stomach flip at this action. He missed her so much but yet she was right here sitting besides him.

"I guess so." Andre said clenching his jaw a little.

Della looked at her ex-husband who seemed to be in deep thought. She wanted to ask what was bothering him... it certainly wasn't about Leo. He seemed a bit off.

"Speaking of the birthday party, we should invite Marcela?" Andre said knowing it was a very sensitive Marcela. The atmosphere immediately changed.

"Since when do you like Marcela?" She questioned. "Leo thinks Marcela is my friend..." Della said with a frown.

"We need to tell him then, Della we need to fix our shit for him. I don't mean us getting back together but I genuinely just mean, Leo needs to know he has family besides you. I want to take him to meet my relatives in France, hopefully next summer we can all go there-" Andre said getting excited at the thought. "Just as much as you have made him have a relationship with...?Garreth-"?He cleared his throat. "He should have a relationship with my parents as well as your mother. I don't want my mother anywhere near Leo." He added. "I understand but you still aren't talking to her?" Della asked.

"That woman is not my mother, after what she did; I can never forgive her. I don't see myself forgiving her."

"Holding grudges isn't very healthy-"

"I know but having her out of my life without her toxic nest is actually very healthy."

She?nodded.

"I'm afraid Marcela doesn't want anything to do with Leo." She said under her breath but he was listening.

"I'm sure she does but her pride just won't let her. You know what would be great? I could ask her to bring her son to the party." Andre suggested excitedly.

"She would really hate that!"

"Trust me, she will love this." Andre paused. "Then maybe you can both mend whatever that's broken..."

"That may take even years, it's deeper than you think-" She sighed.

"If Garreth & Spencer are invited, that may cause an unwanted feud." Andre hummed immediately looking away after saying these risky words that may potentially make her a tad bit angry.

"So me get this straight? You want me to invite Marcela who has no relationship with my son-" Andre interrupted. "Our son."

"Yes, our son but you want me to tell Garreth not to come when you know how close they are." Della openly said.

"You mean he is a horrible influence and one of the reason Leo has turned into a little violent minion at school. Enlighten me Adela?" Andre sat back on his chair, clearly fuming. Della knew whenever Andre used her full name, he was either fuming or he wanted her underneath him...?old memories. "Garreth, well-" She then remembered his character last time he came over, how Leo knew how to calm him down when he was being a psycho.

"I don't like that old geyser of yours." Andre muttered as a matter of fact.

"Your mother is horrible but you don't hear me calling her names do you?" She retorted.

"You could call her whatever you want she deserves it, she deserves whatever that comes her way because frankly I don't care my dear. You don't need to kiss her feet even when she isn't around."

"I'm not as low as you Andre, i would never treat a person as low as you would or do or already did. Clearly we know where you get that from-"

Suddenly someone opened the sliding door coming from the poolside, it was none other than Luc.

"Ami!" Luc said walking over to the table of food with his shoes in hand. He quickly threw them on the floor taking a seat on one of the chairs opposite this couple. His blonde hair was disheveled, he reeked of alcohol. "Luc!" Andre growled.

"Fuck, can you lower your tone this hangover is killing me." Luc said gulped down some orange juice. Adela stifled a laugh. "Oh hey, Dells." Luc raised his head like it was heavy.. Andre was fuming.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you can't just drop in here like this? I gave you the spare keys but you cannot come here when you are hangover or drunk."? Andre yelled.

"Mama is in one of her moods because her favourite son isn't talking to her so she kicked me out okay ??Ami." Luc said clearly frustrated. "Now make yourself useful and get me compral or something?"

"Excuse me?" Andre questioned at his younger brother who was clearly becoming a nuisance.

"I will get it." Della said quickly deciding to excuse herself.

"Dells babe, I love you. I love you." Luc smirked.

"Have you decided what you want to do with your life? we can't keep going like this Luc." Andre said now concerned, this was exactly what he had been talking about, he didn't want his son to become like Luc.

"Can you not be all mom and dad on me, you have a son now and you need to save up all your fucking yelling energy on him... thanks bud."

"Luc, I'm genuinely concerned... when you dropped out of college, what did you think you will were going to do?" Andre replied. Luc heaved a huge sigh.

"Shut up please!"

"Don't talk to me like that because you will go have your hangover out on the street." Andre yelled back.

"I'm going to be a model or some shit unlike you, I'm going to use these looks. Mom will be a special guest at New York Fashion week and she might help me get in line. At least earn some money doing something I love. Now that you have an answer can you fuck off." Luc said closing his eyes from frustration. Della immediately then brought a glass of water and two pills for Luc. "Fuck off in my own fucking house?" Andre chuckled but Luc ignored him.

"Dells, i will marry you, bloody life saver." He said grabbing the glass from Della who immediately went upstairs to check on Leo.

"Luc, you need to get yourself straight-" Andre said softly.

"Get myself straight? I'm bisexual." Luc yelled laughing hysterically.

"I know, dummy. I meant the other way around." Andre chuckled. This was no secret, when Luc was eighteen... he was trending on TMZ because of an image that had been circulating of him kissing a boy at one of his high school parties. He could only turn to Andre but now everyone was aware of his sexuality. Luc Georges Levetté fucks everything that walks and he was not apologetic about it. His father was very accepting of it but his mother still gave him shit about it. Jeanine was very controlling- "I'm just trying to live my best life, ?ami." Luc shrugged.

"I want to see this modeling gig before the end of the week." Andre said in a very strict tone. "I will talk to one of my friends to let you do a Calvin Klein shoot happening Malibu so you can earn yourself some money because I can't keep putting money in your account since mom and dad have had enough of you."

"Calvin Klein, not bad I guess-" Luc paused. "Thanks but right now I need to sleep. Leonard Maddox invited me to one of his yacht party. He knows what's a party without Luc Levetté the hot French cuisine huh?"

"Luc, you will go to that shoot otherwise don't come back to this house, I'm changing all the locks. You need to stay away from the Maddox kid, he is such a bad influence didn't he just come out of rehab? You're twenty-five months clean don't mess that up!"

"I did not hear a word you said old man." Luc took a bite of toast then threw it on the table before walking up the stairs.

Andre sighed.

he?clearly?had two sons to take care of, since his parents had gave up on Luc.000000
