Chapter 8

They went and got changed into fresh clothes, Andre made some hot chocolate as Luca walked into the kitchen "I'm sorry about the melt down" "you don't need to apologise Luca" Andre handed him the hot chocolate and guided him to the sofa with his hand pressed against his back. Andre sat down and Luca curled up next to him like it was the most natural thing in the world like they have been doing it for years, Andre felt happy, he hasn't felt happy in a long time.
"Can you tell me about yourself Andre" Luca said looking up at him with his beautiful blue eyes, Andre could feel himself getting lost in them "Ummm well I'm 22, I have a younger sister and brother oblivious Grace and Connor and we have an older sister Lydia" Andre didn't like to talk about himself but there was something about Luca so he carried on
"The Ravens were set up by my grand father then passed to my dad, then passed to me when my parents died" gasp came out of Luca "I'm sorry about your parents" "nothing to be sorry about, they weren't the nicest people, Lydia got out as quick as possible, I didn't have a choice, I was born to lead the gang but I was never really that interested but my dad trained and trained me, I wasn't allowed hobbies it was all about the gang, I was told at 18 I would take over the gang  but I wanted to go to university I wanted something that wasn't because I was told by my dad to do, so I made a deal I would take over the gang but I had to go to the local university" he took a sip of his hot chocolate "they died just after I started uni, they were killed by a rival gang, everyone knew I didn't really want to take over the gang so the other gangs started to make a play for territory, I don't really understand why they didn't just come to me and talk to me, they knew I was nothing like my father" "so what happened to them the rival gang?" Luca whispered, Andre ran his fingers through Luca's hair and thought he heard him moan "my parents trusted friends killed them then all retired and basically dumped it all on me" they didn't say anything for a few minutes, Andre was still running his fingers through Luca's hair "so, if you don't mind me asking, what do you own and what is your degree in" "of course I don't mind you asking sweetheart" this made Luca's heart swell with happiness "my degree is in Business management and I own a couple of restaurants, a club, a gym and a couple of takeaways" "wow, good going, so if you want to get out why didn't you sell it all and move away" "I can't leave the kids, it's as simple as that, they are my family"
Luca grabbed Andre's free hand and started to play with his fingers, his brain was going a mile a minute thinking, he wasn't sure if he was over stepping the boundaries or not but he didn't care he liked Andre and he thinks Andre likes him back. "So why don't you adopt them, you must be able to get the parents to sign off that they don't want them they basically live here, how many are you talking about if it's a lot could you ask Reggie and Giant to adopt some"
Andre was thinking this over but he was so distracted by the fact that he wanted to kiss Luca. "Luca that's a really good idea" he said as he pulled Luca up to be level with his face then kissed him, Luca smiled into the kiss as Andre pushed him into the sofa making him gasp giving Andre the perfect chance to slide his tongue into Luca's mouth, the moans coming from Luca were heaven to Andre, Luca's hands were roaming Andre's chest and back, feeling his muscles contract with each movement, Andre's hands were roaming Luca's chest, he had definitely filled out since living with him, he was no long skin and bones, he left Luca's lips and started to attack his neck leaving hickeys "Andre please more" Luca panted he moved off of his neck and pushed up Luca's top and started to suck on his nipples making Luca hiss and Andre chuckle. The front door slammed making them jump apart and just laugh at each other, Andre extended his hand to Luca "come on"
Andre opened his bedroom door and Luca stepped in, he had black curtains with black bedding on his king size bed and he had light gray walls, everything was neat and tidy. "Did you want to watch a film?" "Sure, can we watch a comedy, something funny after today I could do with something light" they both climbed onto the bed Luca wasn't sure what to do he felt stiff, he wanted to curl up next to Andre but wasn't sure if he should, yeah they were just kissing but still he wasn't sure. Andre wanted to hold Luca and never let go, he saw how  stiff and uncomfortable Luca looked on the bed next to him "come here" Andre opened his arms and Luca curled up against his chest "much better" Andre mumbled into Luca's hair making Luca smile. Shortly after the programme started Luca fell asleep listening to Andre's heartbeat he felt safe, he felt like he had found his home. Andre felt like he was the king of the world having his baby in his arms, he went to sleep with a smile on his face.
