A Hart To Call Home

Chapter Twenty-Seven

"Andre, would you stop with all the pouting? You're making this forced night out way worse than it has to be." Luca shot an annoyed look at his brother, who was slouched on the couch with a scowl on his face.

"Then forget the whole thing. I will go up to my room and binge-watch Law and Order, you can go out, and the girls never have to know."

They'll find out; they're coming over," Leonardo surprised both boys as he came down the chair lift, Andre quickly rose to help him, but Leonardo waived him off. "I'm fine, Andre. I'm not dying today."

"Don't say that, please," Andre sighed.

"They're both coming over? To make sure we go or what?" Luca wasn't surprised; honestly, Andre had been trying to get out of it since Kit suggested it, and then Carly insisted on it.

"They want to have a movie night, and our television is better," Leonardo said, "Carly is bringing snacks, and Kit said she has a care package from Stone, so we know what that means."

"Luca, I thought you said the doctor gave him a legal prescription?" Andre asked.

"He did, but we didn't have time to fill it; the medical dispensary is over an hour away. I'll go tomorrow."

"Relax, son," Leonardo said, "It's not like the police are going to come to arrest a sick old man."

"Maybe you should try a little?" Luca suggested, to which Andre made an annoyed face.

The door opened as the girls let themselves in next. Carly was carrying a few small plastic bags and a large one, and Kit was behind her with a duffel bag.

"Are you two moving in?" Luca asked with a tilt of the head; his eyes flickered over to his beautiful girl. "I don't mind, of course."

"I'm tired of waking up here with no change of clothes," Kit said, holding the duffel up. "I have no idea what Carly's got in all those bags."

"Snacks, and you'll see!" Carly quipped as she walked further inside to set everything down.

Carly set the bags down on the table and then embraced Andre.

"What movies did you bring?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter; you're going out," she said before pressing a chaste kiss on his lips. "Luca, I don't want him back here until he's had at least five minutes of fun."

"He doesn't know what fun is," Luca replied.

"Luca, be nice," Kit scolded.

"I'm always nice," he winked, and she grinned as the memories of that night returned to them.

Luca walked over and pulled Kit in for a hug, "I'll see you in my bed later for some real fun," he whispered into her ear, enjoying how red she blushed. She tiptoed up and kissed his cheek.

"Call us if you need a sober cab," Carly directed as Andre headed to the door.

"Won't be necessary," Andre said as he slipped out the door.

"Babe..." Carly sighed sadly as she looked after him.

"I'll get him to have a few; he'll be fine," Luca told her as he followed Andre.

"Have fun with your slumber party, ladies," Luca added with a smirk at his dad, who chuckled.

"We will," Carly chirped.

"You try and have fun too, babe," Kit said.

"I'll text you when we're on the way home," he said as he opened the door, "love you."
