Judas kiss

Chapter 5 -- Cinq.

"I told him that Leo wasn't his child." Della said putting the new bed covers for one of the hotel suites.

"Did he believe you?" Mila asked curiously fixing the unmade bed. They were both in their maid

uniforms, they had been friends ever since Della started working at the hotel four years back. Mila was

also a Latino which made it really easy for them to be friends. Having the same language and very

much same interests. Mila knew everything that had happened to her best friend. The shit her arsehole

husband put her friend through.?

"Everyone knows I cheated, Mila so he has to believe me." Della said in a monotonous tone, she didn't

care about alot of things. She hardly got excited for anything unless it had to do with her son. She

found zero interest in anything really—

"But look, if he said he knows what his mother did that means he knows you are lying." Mila replied

after a hard well thought.

"Even if he founds out what happened? What's the point? We should just let it go." Della replied folding

the white towels near the ensuite basin.

"So you don't feel anything?" Mila asked looking at her friend expectedly but all she did was look up

and frown then continued doing her work. Mila knew that Della had been so heartbroken that she was

so numb but deep down inside she hoped she would see her friend happy again with another man. She

certainly wouldn't allow that dog from the Levetté's into her friend's life again.

"Della ?" Mila wiggled her eyebrows.

"Mhm?" Della answered breaking away from her thoughts, she was thinking about how much she

needed to save so that Leondre could go for that school camp and the things that he would need.

Ofcourse all the work she put in was all for her little young man.

"I asked you a question." Mila replied at her friend who seemingly showed no interest.

"Uh no I didn't feel anything." Della replied going back to her cleaning.

"You sure? I mean your ex-husband is quite a hot mess." Mila said blithely but Della just shook her

head and continued with her work.

"Andre always deserved better." Della suddenly said out of the blue. "I was just a middle class girl, with

a lot of baggage but now I don't have to feel bad about it because we are not together." Mila frowned

because her friend was oblivious to all the men that stared at her every single day, be it clients or other

employees ;there was just something about her. She was beautiful and she didn't even know it, maybe

it was her Latino genes that gave her those noticeable curves and her caramel skin. Even after having

gave birth to her son, she looked way better than before. Her body was sexy in every way possible

even with stretch marks here and there.

"Which suite are you assigned to next ?" Mila asked changing the subject.

"Uhm 132B infact the whole left wing." Dela replied.

"Well I'm on the C side so I will meet you at lunch." Mila added making her way out of the suite before

blowing her friend kisses.

"Okay Mila." Della smiled at how childish her friend was being.

It was almost midday when Della's manager called her and told her that she needed to attend to the

royal suite. Della didn't mind because it was her job. She made her way towards the Royal Suite, it was

obviously the biggest suite in the hotel. Usually snobs with high demands always resided in that suite.

Della knocked on the door before yelling... "Room service." Her voice echoed. After a few minutes the

door opened revealing—

Luc.

"Uhm-" She was about to speak when he gave her a brief smile, it would have charmed her but she

was immune to his charms.

"It's okay, Dells you don't have to explain anything and I don't have anything against you. That's your

business with Andre." He said cheerfully. What made it awkward for Della was that her ex-brother in-

law was half naked, she knew exactly what was going on. "Oh and Dells meet my special girl?Elisabeta

Pimentel." He grinned opening the door widely revealing a blonde girl. "She is Mexican, so English isn't

really in her vocabulary." Luc said anxiously.

"Oh, nice to meet you Elisabeta." Della awkwardly sidled.

"Luc, why you speak to maid ?" The girl said obnoxiously rolling her eyes. Della wasn't fazed by it, it

wasn't the first time that she had been insulted by the rich at the hotel. It was practically the highlight of

this this job.

"She is my sister in law, don't talk to her like that." Luc mustered a frown.

"It's okay Luc-" Della said calmly.

"No, Della it's not okay. My mother and Brother treated you badly, I'm not going to allow anyone else to

treat you like that. I always considered you as family and deep down I know you didn't do it." Luc

replied steadily.

"And Leo is a nice little boy, I hope he will know me as his uncle soon enough." The young man with

blonde curls added. Della was a little taken back by what Luc had just said. Elisabeta was confused

with how the conversation had escalated so she took the champagne bottle and went inside pouring a

glass for herself. She didn't care, she had just came here for a good time with one of the eligible

bachelors in New York.

"How—" Della was immediately cut off.

"Della, I'm not as dumb as you think. Leo has blonde hair and blue eyes which you certainly don't have.

He is a replica of my Brother." Luc chuckled. Della was taken aback.

"Andre is not the only one with blonde hair and-"

"Yes, he isn't but Leo is as old as your divorce so when did you have time to hook up with people huh?"

"I cheated on Andre so that explains when I got time to hook up with people." Della lied through her

teeth. Luc let out an innocent laugh.

"Sure you did, virgin Mary. You still go to church?" Luc asked knowing she did. Della was Roman

Catholic, her grandparents had raised her in a Christian environment. They taught her to only give

herself to a man on her wedding night. They taught her all the values in the bible. From a very young

age, she grew accustomed to the life of a Roman Catholic family, Community, school and everything.

She lost her faith a bit with what had happened to her with Andre...

"Yes, i do." She sighed.

"You should invite me sometime, maybe I will find me a?Bella?but I won't be as stupid as my brother to

let her go." He gave her a genuine smile. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Uhm enjoy your wine, I will be on my way." Della brushed his comment off, he just seemed amused as

he closed the door and went back to his fun with Elisa.
