“oh, don’t worry darling I will”
“Look - cute story and all but my mom doesn’t jump to conclusions. I just don’t think she wouldn’t at least give this man the opportunity to explain unless he said something terrible”
“maybe I will… look. Why are you being so dodgy”
“l know… he’s just… he’s been through a lot recently”
In his conversation with his father, that she overheard just a very small part of, his father was talking about how she basically needed to learn her place and stay quiet in the background, and he made a comment agreeing with his father.
He didn’t know she overheard, so he didn’t have the chance to tell her that he didn’t mean it and was just trying to appease his father.
It’s not just recently Jess, he’s been through a lot in general. But you have too.
“Who the fck says that anyways? Or like… agrees with that. Don’t get me wrong; I’m sure this man had his reasons but honestly go mom for not taking that sht.”
“… I… I’ll ask him.”
What your mom didn’t know is that he was only trying to avoid a fight with his father, because his father was very abusive towards him, and even being 21 years old at the time, he knew that his father wouldn’t hesitate to beat him for standing up to him.
“Fine… I guess… valid excuse…”
@Littlefeets yoU hAvE wuEstIons 
Yes, I need to answer them
Now Jess, remember how I told you that your mom knew Kai’s father, what would you think if I told you that the man your mother dated when she came to beryl, was Kai’s father?
So cute
Leonardo:
Addie, of course I forgive you for that. It’s really nothing, you don’t have to worry about it. I can handle some bruises.
Leonardo:
Addie, I love everything about you.
Leonardo:
None of them are important. You’re the only person I’ve dated that matters to me.
Leonardo:
Do you really want me to answer that Addie?
Leonardo:
I thought you were intriguing, and I knew just enough to know that I wanted to know more about you.
Leonardo:
Wherever you are is where I pick.
Leonardo:
Your brother is a good, smart kid, and he cares about you almost as much as I do.
Leonardo:
I made sure you didn’t get dares that would get you hurt, or put you in any bad position.
Leonardo:
I would go anywhere with you. But, if I had to pick somewhere right now, before having any plans, maybe Paris.
Leonardo:
I love you too Addie.
Leonardo:
I don’t know how I would ask you out, but I know that in any world I would want to flirt with you Addie.
Leonardo:
I’ll with a 10, but still. But not as much as I adore you.
Leonardo:
They could easily be worse. I just don’t know what they did to deserve the such an amazing person for a daughter.
Leonardo:
We can do that.
Leonardo:
We agreed to total secrecy. I’m not telling you what happened.
Leonardo:
I suppose I won’t know what happened at your party then.
Too many meanings there 
Ignoring the important questions
Not the Justin slander
Very true
So tudeeee
"I don’t want you to be hurt because of me, love 
"
“Oh come on, pick one thing. It’s my accent isn’t it?.”
“You bloody cheat - you can’t avoid the question by saying that.”
“At least tell me it’s a 2/10”
“You thought “girl sneaking into an art gallery” was intriguing? What if I was trying to steal a painting, Leo?”
" 
."
“Sure sure, he can also be a bloody brat sometimes though. Have you two ever talked about me? Like while I wasn’t there?”
“I KNEW IT.”
“Annnnd what would we do in paris, darling?”
“I love you more.”
“Am I truly that alluring? Come on Leo, give it your best shot. Hit on me.”
“Good good… Holly deserves all the love”
" "
“Thank god, i’m feeling ravenous”
“Leeooooooooooo. I hope you know I’m not ever marrying you until you tell me.”
“You really don’t want to know? What if I told you it ended up with me soaking wet, and technically in hand cuffs?.”
Yeah
Leonardo:
I’d rather be hurt than not do everything to take care of you.
Leonardo:
I do love your accent. 
Leonardo:
I just don’t see a reason to talk about my past relationships when none of them hold any importance in my life now.
Leonardo:
Fine, let’s go with that Addie.
Leonardo:
You clearly weren’t trying to steel a painting Addie, but really, you seemed interesting and i just needed to know more about the gorgeous girl who decided to use me as her fake boyfriend to get into an art gallery.
Leonardo:
Yes, we have talked about you when you aren’t around. As you are the most important thing we have in common.
Leonardo:
I wasn’t going to let you get hurt Addie.
Leonardo:
I don’t have plans for Paris at this point yet Addie. But I would take you anywhere you wanted to go.
“… Riiiiiiiight. Now you’re mixing fact and fiction again, darling. Come on? Really? You want me to believe that my mother dated Kai’s father? Where in the world did that even come from? God.”
What makes you so sure that it can’t be true, Jess?
