Judas kiss novel Chapter 58

It had been a long night.

Della had not changed into anything comfortable and finally she had accepted when her father told her that, she could leave. He would remain behind with Marcela. On the other hand Lyle had refused to go anywhere near his father. He somewhat found comfort in being with Della.

"I guess you could go with Della then.." Marcela's husband had said, a tad bit hurt that his very own son didn't want to go home with him.

"I will call my driver to pick you up, be careful darling." Garreth said giving his daughter a kiss on her forehead.

"Actually—" She paused. "I texted Andre to come pick me up.. he is with Leo and I want to see Leo."

"No need to explain yourself. I understand.." Garreth said with ease. He had given Spencer a huge work load, he was so busy.. he wouldn't be able to intervene. Garreth was beyond stressed, he wanted to be with Marcela and at the same time, he wanted to finish off a potential threat. "You know life is too short to not be with someone you yearn to be with." Garreth added. Della was taken aback.. by this. She had not been expecting him to say something like this. She thought maybe Marcela being in this state made him very emotional and he just said the most random things but it wasn't like that. Garreth was facing heartbreak, he couldn't imagine a world where Marcela wasn't there even if it was just him watching her from a far. Watching her being happy, watching her with her family.

Della sighed.

"Don't worry darling, I know what Spencer did and we will make him pay." He added. It all came as a surprise, how composed he was for someone whom she thought was absolutely mental. Garreth managed to not be problematic when it came to his daughter. What hurt the most was the fact that she couldn't even ask him for help or confide in him because he is labeled a lunatic.

Della hugged her father, wholeheartedly. She was lucky, she had him. Especially in this very moment when her mother had yet again decided to take the spotlight. She was always an attention seeker, Della thought bitterly. She couldn't exactly tell if she was angry at Marcela or she was worried that she wouldn't be able to pull through.

"Stay strong." She told Garreth and he steadily nodded. I will come back with Andre then you can go freshen up as well. She told him looking at his wrinkled tux.

"Alright love." He replied.

As Della walked out of the hospital holding Lyle's hand. She felt so overwhelmed seeing Andre distractedly waiting for her. How he managed to look still so magnificently handsome even with dark circles under his blazing blue eyes. He seemed distracted as he typed away on his phone.. when he saw her, Della told Lyle to get in the car. She ran into his arms needing his comfort. He was in sweatpants and a T-shirt something that he hardly ever wore. Della breathed in his cologne, it was so strong and soothing. She could always tell that it was Andre.

"Any changes?" He asked leaned against the car with Della in his arms.

"No, nothing at all." Della's voice came out as a squeak as her eyes threatened to water but she couldn't. There was a child in the car who thought his mom would be coming home soon. He was oblivious to the fact that she might not come back ever. Della's worst fear was that, they would be holding up so much hope only for her to stay in this vegetative coma for years until someone has to decide its time to let her rest and that they should switch off the machines. Della breathed in, maybe she was thinking too far. It had only been seventeen hours...

"Everything will be okay." Andre assured her. "Right now you just need to have a warm bath, something to eat and sex therapy..."

Della giggled at his lame attempt to joke.

"Are you really using this as an opportunity to get laid, Andre."

He shrugged.

"I'm not but then again I heard that it's the best type of therapy especially for couples trying to have a child.." he said giving her smirk. It had slipped her mind that they did that, she couldn't believe that they really did that and they were planning to do that. It felt like it had been months but it was just merely hours.

"You only get to shoot your shot once." She told him.

"I guess I shot well with Leondre then—" He smirked.

She laughed.

Andre always managed to laugh even in the worst situations.

"Are we going yet?" Lyle said rolling down the window for their attention. They got lost whenever they were together, it's as if only they mattered. They even forgot Lyle was there, this made both of them laugh making Andre pull away as he stared at Adela with adoration..

"I know I look like shit, okay?!" Della said defensively.

"You're right, you do look like shit, Della." Andre said making them both laugh hysterically. Della frowned.

"You're supposed to say 'oh no Adela, you look absolutely dashing with those eyebags and the art work of mascara on your cheeks."?Della said sarcastically and in this moment, Andre realized he missed her had missed her humor, he had missed her very much.

"Dude, so it works almost immediately right?" Ignacio said to his friend. Who gave him an eye roll.
