Jeanine had, just had a long exhausting day. Her perfume collection called French Delight, had just dropped. As always she had to attend the opening party and sit at one of the stores giving out autographs and selfies to anyone who bought. This was her life, she quite enjoyed it. She wouldn't have any other way. Jeanine loved that many people especially young girls admired her. She was a mentor to young models who wanted to be as successful as her in the industry. Jeanine dropped her Versace bag on the lounge table as she made her way into the colossal kitchen. She caught a glimpse of her husband wearing a kitchen apron and-
"What is he doing here?" Jeanine asked without holding her tongue back. Ben, her husband immediately gave him a disapproving face.
"I mean... Hi Leondre, didn't expect you to be here." Jeanine stuttered a bit.
"Leo, that's your grandmother remember we met at the hotel?" Ben said softly to Leo.
"She doesn't look like a grandmother." Leo shrugged. At this Jeanine smiled, she did like receiving compliments.
"I don't have a grandmother, I'm so happy you're my grandma." Leo said quickly going to wrap his arms around Jeanine's legs. Jeanine wanted to cringe but she found this... a tad bit comforting. It brought a really weird feeling but she decided to brush it off. Ben gave her a 'See , he isn't so bad' look.
"Alright alright-" Jeanine said pushing the little boy away and petting his hair like a dog.
"So Andre was here?" Jeanine asked quickly.
"Yeah, he was." Ben said putting the cupcakes in the oven. "He said Leo has been a very very bad boy-" He looked at Leo who frowned. "That's why he is here."
"Oh okay, I will just be up then-" Jeanine said excusing herself.
"Can I come?" Leo asked and Jeanine couldn't help but cringe unfortunately her husband looked at her waiting for her response so she smiled.
"Alright, you can come along Leo but don't make too much noise." She muttered a bit skeptical about her choice.
"Honey, where is Mr. Whiskers? I haven't seen him all day." Jeanine questioned. Mr. Whiskers was Jeanine's fluffy cat, she showed more human affection to her cat than to her own family.
"He must be upstairs." Ben replied. "Leo, i will call you down when our cupcakes are all done."
"Okay, grandpa." Leo replied following Jeanine upstairs. His father's house was beautiful but his grandparents house was beautiful. Everything seemed to be extravagantly elegant. Jeanine cringed at Leo calling her husband 'grandpa' it was just absurd.
In her stilettos, she walked past a few bedrooms before finally getting into one. She held her handbag firmly on her side, her head held high. What she didn't know was how innocent Leo was, how much he admired her.
She opened the master bedroom, Leo thought this was their apartment as a whole. She threw her handbag on the bed and sat on the dressing table removing the stilettos strap.
"I'm so tired." She sighed. "Leo seat on the bed and don't you dare touch anything." She hissed in a not so friendly voice, Leo simply nodded and did as he was told.
