Celestine's POV"I hate him so much," I moan to Eve who is the other line, receiving all my pent-up anger without voicing any complaints. "Why does he always has to get on my nerves?""What did he do now?"I retell the story of last night, not leaving a single detail out. By the time I have gotten to the part where Lorenzo puts the gaiter on me, Eve is hollering. So much for having a best friend to cry to."Are you done?" I ask snarkily, squeezing out a big gob of sunscreen and slathering it over my body. I glare at the phone turned upside down on the foldable chair beside me like it's Eve.The sun came out early today so I'm taking the opportunity to sunbathe outside. The feel of the sun on my skin is almost enough to make me forget about Lorenzo's tendency to grate on my last nerves. It's a skill only he possesses and it's one he uses to the best of his abilities."Yes, I'm sorry. Please continue." I can still hear some snickering from the other side of the line but I continue eithe
Lorenzo's POVFlashback"Fuck, Celestine." I peep through my half-closed eyes as she grabs onto my cock, pressing it flat on my stomach, and slowly licking it from the base to the fucking tip. "I thought you said you haven't done this before?" I gape at her in disbelief. She just has my dick in her hand and it feels like my world has shifted on its axis.From her knees, she gazes up at me, blushing and then shrugging. "Am an enthusiastic learner and I learn very fast."Exhaling shakily, I grip the handles of the chair I'm seated in as Celestine runs her tongue over the slit of my cock. At this rate, there is no way I'm going to last five minutes. Hell, I will be grateful if I last three.She drips spit from her mouth onto my cock and using it as a lubricant, she takes my cock into her mouth and sucks.Fuck, that mouth.Her head bobs up and down on my cock, her lips strained around the width of my cock. Fuck, that is a beautiful sight.I groan loudly as Celestine breathes deeply throug
Past Celestine's POV "Leave me alone Lorenzo," I grit out through clenched teeth, reeling from the stupid words he just uttered. "Fine." He sighs exasperatedly. "Damon Salvatore's head doesn't look like a potato." A pause. "Am I forgiven now?" "Go away." I push open the doors of the diner, and the little bell at the top rings, signaling the arrival of a new customer. Closing the door in Lorenzo's stupid face, I find a booth and slide in. "Ouch." Lorenzo rubs his slightly red nose, walking over to where I'm seated. "You couldn't just hold the door for me?" He asks, glaring at me. "I don't hold the door for idiots." "Give it a rest already. The only reason why I insulted the dude is because you keep talking and talking about him." He slides in beside me as opposed to opposite me. He takes my hand, interlocks our fingers together, and places it on his lap. "I'm here too but I don't see you gushing over me for hours on end. I got jealous." He explains, pouting. "You got jealous o
Present dayCelestine's POV"Where on earth are you taking me, Lorenzo?" I massage the achy muscles in my thighs caused by seating in this car for more than a fucking hour. "If this is your way of apologizing, let me tell you, it isn't working?" Leaving my thighs, I massage my stiff neck. Why did I indulge Lorenzo when he told me to get in a car for his apology? It's like I never learn."We are almost there. Just a little while longer." The speed of the car increases as he shifts gears.Suspicion clouds my mind as I notice landscapes of lochs, glens, and mountains that you wouldn't find in town. Are we out of the city?We speed past a sign that says Edinburgh. Ok, so we are definitely out of the city."Seriously Lorenzo, where are we going?" Now, I'm getting scared. What if he pulls over, kills me, and dumps my body by the side of the road? Nobody knows we are together right now, so he wouldn't be a suspect. It would be a perfect crime."It's a surprise." Lorenzo throws an indulgent s
Celestine's POV A dream, that's what this is. One I don't ever want to wake up from. "You're kidding right?" I ask in shock, turning around to face Lorenzo. Lorenzo steps up beside me. "I'm not." I lean closer, examining the book, and afraid to breathe for fear of waking up. "Th... This is the first edition," I stutter. Facing Lorenzo, the light from the table cast a soft glow on him, making him appear serene. "Is this real?" I whisper. "Of course not. I have so much time on my hand that I had a fake first edition manufactured and smuggled in here." A teary laugh escapes me. "I don't know. That seems like something you would do just to fuck with me." Adrenaline pumps through my vein like nicotine, racing my heartbeat. The book seems real enough. Hardcover. Gilt page fore-edges. The pages are clean and bright, at least from what I can see. This book, if real, is worth more than a hundred thousand dollars. I feel, rather than see, Lorenzo rolling his eyes. "Why don't you open it t
Lorenzo's POVI pick her up as easily as you would pick up a pick of paper, walk back into my room and kick the door shut with my leg. Dumping her on the top of my bed, I take a step back just to look at her. Really look at her. Her brown curls are messy and frame her face, her lips are a bit swollen from being thoroughly kissed, and her tank top has risen a bit exposing her tanned stomach. Going back up her body, my eyes meet hers to find them wild and filled with unrestrained lust."Lorenzo... " She groans, drawing out my name. God, how I missed hearing my name being called out in that manner from her lips.I'm over her body in the next minute. She tries to kiss me again but I bypass it, heading for her throat and pressing a kiss there. She smells like everything that is right. If everything that is right smells like sunflowers. Seems like she just got out of the shower."Lorenzo... " She groans again, her need slipping into her voice.I ignore her. I don't want to rush this. I fin
Lorenzo's POV."Lay back." Just two words and she obeys, scooching up the bed and laying flat on her back.Luckily, I still have the sense to walk over to my bedside table and take a condom out of the drawer. Walking back to my previous location, I rip the wrap, and the sound of plastic tearing fills the deadly quiet room. I roll the condom on my cock and get over Celestine.Her legs come up to wrap around my waist.She looks up at me and I hold her eyes as I rub the tip of my covered cock through her pussy lips, teasing her, wanting to see her become desperate for it."Lorenzo," she whispers, her voice shaking. "Please fuck me."God. I did not see that coming. Her words undo me and whatever plan I had of teasing her goes out the window as I sink into her to the halt, every inch of my cock inside her tight pussy.Fuck. My hands shake as I try my best not to collapse onto her. Has sex with Celestine always been this fucking good or did it just get better?Celestine's eyes are shut, and
Lorenzo's POVI fell asleep with Celestine in my arms, so why did I wake up in the middle of the night to find her gone and her spot beside me cold, like she had made her walk of shame hours ago?As soon as the sun starts rising, I hurry up and get dressed, throwing on sweatpants and a t-shirt then leaving my room to haunt down Celestine's ass.I'm so angry. No, anger doesn't even come close to what I'm feeling right now. I'm seething. Is it too much to ask that she had at least woken me up and told me that she was leaving instead of me waking up alone and feeling like a hooker that has been discarded after performing their duty.To think that I hated the mornings after sex because it consisted of me trying to get the girl out of the door as fast as I could. Oh, how the tables have turned.Heading down the stairs, my footsteps sound heavy, making my anger known to anyone within a five-mile radius.Going around the corner into the kitchen, my gaze meets the back of Celestine's curly he
Five years later.Lorenzo's POV"Daddy!" A tiny voice squeals and that's all the warning I get before I feel tiny hands grabbing at my trouser and tugging on them. "I missed you."I look down at my daughter's smile which is missing two front teeth, and pick her up, holding her on my hip. "Where is Mommy?" I ask, kissing her on her forehead."She's in the kitchen with Lucenzo," she answers, wrapping her arms around my neck and resting her head on my shoulder.I drop my car key into the bowl by the door and walk into the kitchen to see Celestine mixing a salad in a bowl. Lucenzo is seated on the countertop and dipping his hand into the bowl, stealing some of the vegetables and shoving them into his mouth. The whole scene gives off Deja Vu vibes. I'm reminded of the time that Celestine kept stealing carrots off the chopping board as I tried to make dinner."Daddy's home," my sweet little princess announces for me and two sets of blue eyes lift from the bowl and turn to face us.Lucenzo
One year later.Lorenzo's POVI'm scared of Celestine. Rather I'm scared of what she has become.It doesn't take much to tick her and make her go off. Last night, she started crying because she said I'm always hauling the covers all to myself. She didn't stop even after I gave up the whole thing to her.But this will all be over soon because her due date is two days from today. Then the baby inside of her will be out and Celestine will become my sweet little girl again. The one that doesn't snap at me because she says she hates the way my footsteps sound. They weren't even that loud!"Lorenzo, I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier," Celestine says from where she's nested under my hand as we watch the vampire diaries series."It's ok. You didn't mean to." I reach down and rub her stomach bump that peeks out of the shirt she wore. Despite Celestine's grumpy nature, I have to admit that pregnancy looks good on her, and seeing her waddle around the house with a baby bump has been the reason
A year later.Lorenzo's POV I press Celestine's face into the bed as I slide deeper into her ass hole."Lorenzo," she moans, trying to pull away from me but my hand on her waist holds her back.I slide my hand from her stomach down her body and push the dildo deeper into her pussy."Oh, God." She fists the covers and pushes her ass back.Sliding out of her asshole until only the tip of my dick is left inside, I look down at her and nearly come as I see both her holes squeezing around the dildo and my cock. "Fuck," I whisper, my breath caught in my throat. "You look so beautiful right now with both your holes filled.I'm definitely going to be drawing this image later.Focusing back on the tasks at hand, mainly on how to make Celestine accept my proposal.I fist her hair and pull her back until her back is pressed against my chest with only our knees on the bed. "So is your answer still no?" I whisper the question into her ear."It's a waste of money, Lorenzo." She rushes out, her wor
Five years laterLorenzo's POV I'm not going to lie and say that these past few years weren't the hardest years of my life. There were. And there were times when I felt like giving up and calling it quit. Times when I felt like going back and groveling at my father's feet for his forgiveness. But anytime I felt that way, all I just had to do was look beside me and stare at Celestine, and wonder if I'm willing to give her away.The answer was always no. Every single time.Now, I'm glad as fuck that I didn't give up. Because I wouldn't be here if I did. I would have been locked away in an office, running a company I didn't want.“This is insane.” Celestine spins around the gallery, her hands stretched out. She bumps into a lady passing and I can't help but chuckle as she mumbles an apology and walks back to me. “I can’t believe this." She looks around. "I’m seeing your work on the wall, in a real show.” She beams at me. "I'm so proud of you."I'm proud of us. Celestine finished her s
Celestine's POV I slip back into the house and immediately head for the stairs. Making sure my footsteps are light, I rush into my room and move to my wardrobe, throwing the doors open. I reach for a suitcase, the biggest one I can find, and throw it onto my bed.Opening it, I start throwing clothes inside. I'm not even looking at what I'm putting into it. I'm just shoving whatever I can grab into it. Next, I head into the bathroom, putting all my toiletries into a small bag which is then shoved into the suitcase. I open my drawer and reach for some cash I had in there. We'll definitely be needing it.Just as I'm about to close the drawer, something sparkling catches my eyes. It's the ring. The ring Lorenzo gave to me. I had shoved it into this drawer as soon as I got back home. I couldn't let his father or my mom see me wearing it so I kept it locked away. Not anymore.Reaching for the ring, I tilt it to the light to see the engravement that has taken over my heart, 'allow me to te
Celestine's POV Tiptoeing down the stairs, I glance behind me to see if I have been compromised.I'm still in the clear. None of the parents heard me leaving my room. I slip out the front door, close it softly behind me, and run out of the property.Frantically, I spin around in a circle, looking for Lorenzo. I can't find him, and just as the tears start welling up in my eyes again, I see a figure hidden in the shadows away from the streetlights.Squeezing my eyes, I try to make out the figure as the person inches closer. It's Lorenzo. I would recognize those shoulders anywhere.Running towards the figure, I wrap my hand around him. "I missed you." I press my face into his chest, inhaling his scent to try and calm my racing heart.Lorenzo's hands also wrap around me. "I missed you too," he whispers into my hair. "I'm sorry I got us caught. Has he told your Mother?""I don't think so. And it wasn't your fault that we got caught. Don't blame yourself." We were both kissing each other.
Celestine POV"You didn't do it for me." Lorenzo lets go of my hand and walks forward. "And you're wrong about me being over her. I didn't forget about her. She's still all I can think about because that girl that you texted was Celestine."It's like a ball has been dropped on the court. The drop of a pin could be heard in this deafening silence. Cade breaks it by speaking. "Celestine was that girl? How's that even possible? Coincidences like that don't happen.""It's possible because you didn't even think to check out who the girl was. You were so fixated on ruining my life that you didn't even bother to look at the picture of her." Lorenzo is visibly shaking and his hands are clenched into tight fists.Cade rolls his eyes heavenwards. "What are you talking about? Ruined your life?" He scoffs. "I sent her a little text message that wasn't even up to three lines. I don't see how that ruined your life."I can't believe I'm hearing this. He has no remorse for what he did. He doesn't se
Celestine's POV"What the hell is going on here?!" A loud thunderous voice booms from behind us.Lorenzo quickly moves away from me but it's already too late because Cade is standing at the entrance of the kitchen with his face a shade of bright red. He had seen everything.He wasn't supposed to be home at this time. What is he doing here?"Did you two think you could fool me?" He drops his suitcase to the floor and walks over to where we are, standing in front of us. "Do you think I'm an idiot? I knew you two would try to go behind my back but I held out hope thinking that you would both do the sensible thing." He scoffs. "At the end of the day, you're just two idiots ready to throw away their future. And for what? Sex!" His face is a shade darker now and spit flies out with his words."Watch your tongue. Don't talk to Celestine in that manner." Lorenzo stands in front of me, shielding me from Cade's harsh words. I try to pull him back away to his previous position beside me but he s
Celestine's POV My phone rings. I pick it up and look at the caller ID. It's Eve.Answering the call, I place it against my ear. "Hello," Eve says as a way of greeting."Hey," I answer, getting comfortable on the bed with a pillow under my arm. It's been three days since I came home. Meaning Eve should have gone home now. "Are you back home?""Yeah. Got here yesterday." A heavy sigh. "I don't know why I'm made to come here every year. She's never home."I rise a bit, sitting up straighter. "Have you seen her since you got back?" I know the answer to that question but I ask anyways."No, I haven't." Another heavy sigh. "Can't wait for when I'm done with school and don't need to be coming here again.""You want to hang out?" I offer. I don't mind going out to cheer her up."Nah, I'm good." I hear footsteps on hardwood, kind of like she's moving. "Enough about me. How are you two holding up there? Do you think his dad suspects something is going on?" The sound of a fridge opening flows
