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.
