Dipendenza

Chapter 18

Leo

"Maybe I should visit Leo." My father said worried.

"Why father? If I've said I have everything handled, what is the need for you to visit?" I was getting annoyed.

"Well Leo, I'm hearing you're making bad decisions."

"Has your money stopped flowing? That is what all of this is about anyway. You entrusted this company to me and I am handling my side perfectly fine."

"They don't trust you Babyboy." He said softly.

"They don't have to. All I ask for is respect and I will have it soon enough." I looked off with a glare.

"What is this I hear of your new lover? It's a man." My mom popped into the screen.

"Mother please." I sighed.

"Well a mother deserves to know Leo. I raised my Babyboy and I wanna know about his life before someone else tells me." She frowned.

"Ok well yea he's a man. He's very handsome and he also helps with the business."

"Leonardo, please don't let this man hurt us." My father wanted.

"He would never." I glared.

"You're serious about him then."

"Yes very much so."

"He's the new Donna?"

"Father." I frowned.

"That is what this life comes with." He glared. "I hope he knows his responsibility."

After ending the call with my persistent and annoying family I went to spend time with my son.

"He's been cursing you out every night you've been gone." Angel said.

"I'm sorry William. Daddy has to spend time with his lover." I held the baby. He babbled on and on.

"I go back soon." Angel looked at me. I nodded with a sigh.

"I'm aware. I'll take him during the day and some nights." He nodded.

"Your lover can help." He smiled.

"Not yet even though he loves kids." I smiled softly at the baby. He grabbed my suit jacket and tugged on it trying to eat it. "Do you feed him?" I asked stopping him.

"Oh shut up of course. You see how big he is, he's a chubby guy." Angel stood up. "If you have him I think I'm going to this poetry thing."

"Dating writers again?" I asked.

"No he owns the bar." Angel blushed. "And I not dating him. He's married."

"Why are you blushing?" I asked.

"Well. His partner is not well and gave him permission to have sex and that's what we've been doing."

"Angel." I sighed looking down. "What if they get better?"

"There's not much hope for that." He said.

"Have you met them?"

"I've met the wife yes." He nodded. "Before we set any of this up I wanted to meet her to fully make sure she was okay with what we're doing."

"Do you love him?"

"Of course not Leo. He's married. We're each others rebound. My girlfriend broke up with me, he hasn't had sex in years. We needed release. That's all." I nodded softly.

"Be safe little brother." He nodded and gave me a quick hug before leaving.

I'm worried for him but he's an adult and has to make his own decisions.
