Judas kiss novel Chapter 23

The dinner had not been graceful, Della couldn't wait to go away when she had realized that Andre was joining them. There were awkward stares and glares, Andre talked to his son. She talked to Amber about the baby, sometimes Daniel talked to Andre and Leondre but at no time did Andre and Della talk directly. Andre was mad, as selfish as it sounded. He was mad that Della was with Leith, she had not said anything to him when he fingered her senseless. He wondered if she had already been with Leith in that manor. Andre thought Leith seemed suspicious but he wouldn't say anything because he didn't want to seem jealous. Amber and Daniel had been on engrossed on their baby talk that they didn't see the tension between Andre and Adela. When it ended they were both glad. It seemed Andre was giving up, he thought he would win her back but it had already been hard as it is. He would continue fighting for her but not if she wasn't fighting for their love either-

He had made a promise to his son that he would reunite their family and they would be a big happy family and Della would even give Leo a little sister.

Della made her way into Starbucks, it was early and very busy. After taking a sip of her latte, she scanned the room for an empty seat. She wanted to have a peaceful morning that included her reading some novel and not thinking about her life and worries. She continued scanning the room until her eyes reached a certain male. He seemed to be concentrated on the novel he was reading. He had a lot of tattoos, they intrigued her a lot.

It was weird, men with tattooes didn't read novels in Starbucks or maybe she was taking this way into con. She had to admit he was handsome, even while his facing the table, from her angle she thought he was breathtaking.

? ? ?? ?

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" Della approached the man giving him a warm smile. He didn't raise his head for a few minutes, she knew what that was like-

Have you ever been so infatuated with a book that when people talk to you, you tell yourself this is the last line or paragraph I'm reading then you can have my attention.

Her breath hitched when he turned to look at her. He had amazing forest green eyes, there was of course something about him. She sensed danger but she liked it.

"And if I said it is, will you go away?" He said with a serious face. She was suddenly nervous. She regretted even walking to this table.

"I'm sorry, I will just-" She turned away but he stopped her with a chuckle.

She was taken aback, he had a beautiful smile. It gave her goose bumps, she had only felt like this around Andre, this was weird. She had not felt this giddy like a teenager in a long time.

"You don't take jokes, i see." He stood up, pulling the chair for Della to seat, such a gentleman after all... she thought.

"In my defence, you looked dead serious-" she giggled taking a sip of her vanilla latte. He stopped admiring and taking in every essence of her beauty. She had the cutest giggle and the way her hazel brown eyes almost closed shut when she smiled widely.

"Is there something on my face-" Della stopped laughing as soon as she realized the stranger was staring.

"Yeah, it's beauty." He smirked at her and she blushed. That was the cheeses thing she had ever heard from anyone.

"What are you reading?" She asked.

"Pride and Prejudice." He said with a grin.

"That's one of my favorite books. Mr. Darcy-" She squirmed. Her eyes flashed with happiness whenever she talked to about her favorite worldly possessions.

"Yeah, I just recently started reading it." He sipped on his black coffee.

"Well then I don't want to spoil all the fun from you." Della smiled holding her cup with both hands. Loving the warmth even though it wasn't that cold outside, it was a habit.

"That would be appreciated, pretty lady." He added and she blushed.

"So do you stay around here?" She asked trying to change the conversation.

"Yeah, I'm here on business. I reside in Los Angeles." He said in a calmer husky voice for the first time in her life she didn't think about Andre. In fact she was so smitten she had even imagined how this attractive male looked without clothes. He was muscular but not too muscular. Andre was the same but without tattoes. He was clean because his mommy wouldn't like if he did-

She instantly felt bad for mocking him.
