'Can I come see you? It's also okay if you don't want me to.' - Andre Levetté
It didn't take long before Della had replied, yes. She didn't understand why he even had to ask.. maybe because after their previous incidences she had been trying really hard to avoid him. She really wanted to see him, he was her safe haven. Especially after that phone call, surely he wanted answers and she wasn't ready to give him. She had said it all out of impulse. She was having cold feet. She decided to distract herself by doing a bit of writing. What Spencer had done had inspired her to write something that she had never ever even thought of. She hadn't written in so long and she thought maybe scribbling a few words would make her feel a tad bit better about the whole situation but she found herself drawn into writing not just a page but multiple pages. Supposedly something good had came out of this-
She let out all her anger, sorrow and sadness all on her journal. She realized that this wasn't just a journal anymore, it could be more. She decided to grab her laptop that she hadn't touched in so long. Leo is the only person who played games here and there. She didn't even want to watch Netflix, not after they advertised Ted Bundy's series or Ted Bundy tapes. She felt her skin crawl. Out of all the suggestions, they just had to suggest that to her. She felt absolutely sick at heart. Mila had told her not to go to work but she wished she had so she could get her mind off things. She eventually listened to Mila when she made the point that.. Spencer that monster would be looming and roaming around Ritz Carlton hotel.
When she heard the knock on the door. Her heart skipped a beat. She was nervous.. as if this was her first date. She just wanted Andre to hold her and never let her go. She wanted him to kiss her and make her forget. Della felt absolutely dirty when she thought about the incident that had happened with Spencer. She loathed his name or just the mere thought of him. Della fixed her hair.. she didn't know why she was this nervous. She had butterflies in her stomach.. she didn't know what she would say to him.
As she slowly opened the door, her excitement died out-
Seeing him.
"Brought you lunch.." Spencer gave her a somewhat warm smile as he let himself in. She stood stagnant on the door, she really didn't feel like this.?Lord please not today, she prayed in heart. Spencer set the food on the kitchen counter where she remembered being intimate with Andre and how absolutely amazing it had felt. Truth be told..?she missed him.
"Thanks.." Della said clearing her throat as she closed the door. She felt her skin crawl.. she didn't want to be anywhere near him but he then walked over to her. Her heart couldn't stop thudding with fear but he only kissed her on the cheek then went back to taking out the food from the McDonald's bag. She felt so disgusted..
"Got some nuggets, McFlurry, Big Macs... figured we can't always eat out at fancy restaurants. Ignacio actually suggested McDonald's, he thinks sometimes I'm overly fancy and I must enjoy the simple things." Spencer chuckled to himself.
Della forced a smile.
"Ignacio sounds nice.." she said I'm a small voice.
"Yep, the absolutely best. He is my best friend. Don't think I have told you about him. You should meet him sometime.. you will absolutely love him." Spencer added taking a huge bite from his Big Mac.
Della nodded.
"Aren't you going to eat?" He asked.
"Uhm.. just not feeling hungry right now." She forced a smile.
"Still feeling sick?" He asked softly.
"Yeah.. a lil bit." She tried really hard not to cringe at him laying his hand on hers.
"I hope you aren't pregnant for that bastard.. have you had your period?" Spencer said his stance immediately turning into an aggressive one.
"What?!" Della was turned aback by his change of character in such a fast pace.
"I said I hope you aren't pregnant for Andre because why else would you be sick for this long.." he rolled his eyes at her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"If you're pregnant it just doesn't start showing in five days, Spencer.." Della hissed. "For someone who acts so smart you act like you skipped biology classes.."
Della immediately regretted her words as Spencer flared his nose glaring at her.
'He is going to hit me.'?Was her only thought.
But he didn't, he only smirked.
"I'm glad my sassy Della is back." He smiled as he continued eating his fries. "I just issued the invites for Garreth's yacht gala.. thought I'd ask you to be my date. It's tomorrow.."
"Yacht gala?" She questioned. "Is that even a thing." She frowned, she didn't want to go anywhere with Spencer.
"Your father is such a show off, that's why he occasionally has these things." Spencer shrugged.
"Oh.." she responded in a bit so enthusiastic voice.
"I was thinking we could wear matching out-"
He was interrupted by the sound of a knock on the door.
"Don't worry, I will get it. Wouldn't want you becoming worse. Just rest my darling." Spencer said enthusiastically.
Della felt like shit.
