BLACK VOSS: ACT 1

Ⅰ

"How was your weekend?" Genesis was leaning against the master bedroom door, a smirk on her face as she eyes Andre knowingly.

A lot had happened in the two days they were away, but the woman was more curious about her best friend.

Andre didn't look at her, he just unpacked his things, "It was great."

"I can see that," Genesis gestured towards the room, "You're in Lucio's room, not yours."

"I decided to move my stuff into here," he said shyly, "Me and Lucio are dating after all."

Genesis paused for a moment before screeching and jumping for joy. Her excitement was contagious because Andre found himself smiling and laughing with her.

She ran up to Andre and brought him into a crushing hug, "I'm so happy for you!"

"I'm happy for me too," Andre hugged back, he was happy.

For the first time in a while the man was seeping with joy, Lucio was the most interesting man he had ever met, and said man was in love with him. It was almost too much for his heart. His life was mundane before, but in the span of a few months he had a new passion for life.

Genesis released him, "So tell me everything!"

Andre smiled as he remembered the weekend, "He took me out to dinner at this really fancy restaurant."

"As he should honestly," Genesis remarked, making Andre laugh.

"It was sweet, that's where I asked him to be my boyfriend."

"That's so cute!" she cooed, cupping her hands together.

"Lucio was cute, he was all flustered and embarrassed," Andre giggled, "He was blushing up a storm when he said yes."

"What happened after dinner?" Genesis asked, ready to hear the rest of the story.

Andre paused, becoming embarrassed, "well, we went back to the hotel room."

"And?" she urged.

"We," Andre gestured shyly, "You know..."

It took a moment for Genesis to process what Andre had told her, when she did, her eyes grew wide, and she began to burst into laughter.

"You actually did it!?" she doubled over, "No wonder you came in limping! Wait till I tell everyone!"

"Please don't..." Andre did want his business going around the house like a wildfire, he didn't need everyone knowing he and Lucio had sex—especially Dante.

"Alright," she sighed, "Can I at least tell Miki, she can keep a secret?"

"Fine, you can tell her." Andre liked Miki and trusted her enough to not spread his business around.

"Thank you!" Genesis began to leave the room, "What till she hears about this!"

Andre just chuckled and unpacked the rest of his clothing in his new room.

Lucio entered the poker room, "You wanted to see me?"

His father just tossed a folder on the table, "Here."

Lucio picked it up, flipping through its contents. Inside was a list of names and statuses. They are all people who worked under the Voss name.

"Is this it?" he asked his father.

Marco scoffs, "I'm not wasting resources you, take what I gave you."

"I'm not asking for more, this is all I need," Lucio said, ignoring his father's rude remake, "I'm asking if that's all you need from me."

"What?"

"Can I go?" Marcos was honestly taken back with his son ignoring him, it made him pause for a moment.

"That's all," the father waved him away, and Lucio left without another word.

Lucio pulled out the files again, looking them over with a smile.

"Lucio," a voice called, "I've been looking for you."

The man shut the folder and looked up to find his boyfriend looking down at him.

"Oh, hey Andre," he greeted, "What's up?"

"I was making dinner tonight and wanted to know if you have any special requests."

Lucio thought for a moment, "Nothing comes to mind, anything you make is good to me."

Andre chucked, "Of course you would think so, I'm your boyfriend."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No," Andre looked down, "What's that?"

"Nothing important," Lucio lied, "Just something my father wants me to do."

"I see."

"Hey, it's really nothing to worry about, okay?" Lucio reassured him.

"I believe you, Luci." Andre sighed, "I just have mixed feelings about your father."

"He won't get in our way, promise." Lucio would go to make sure that he kept safe.

"Alright, you want to come check on the kids with me?" Andre asked.

"Sure."
