Celestine's POV

"Lorenzo?" A voice calls out from behind us and I turn around to find a beautiful blond-haired girl walking over to us.

"Hey, Kendra," Lorenzo greets when she gets to us. She hugs Lorenzo and I'm left standing there, shifting from one foot to the other as I watch the two of them hug out.

They pull away and turn to face me.

Lorenzo speaks, "Celestine, this is Kendra, a friend of mine." Then he turns to her. "Kendra, this is Celestine, she's my uhm..." He looks helpless as he tries to find the word to describe our weird relationship and I don't think ex-girlfriend/soon-to-be stepsister/ fuck buddy will do.

"I'm his friend," I say, cutting in and saving Lorenzo who throws a grateful look my way. Time to find my escape route. "I'll go get that water and leave you two to talk." I point over to the vendor stand and start heading there before another word gets out.

I pay for the bottle of water, stand beside the shop and uncap it. Taking a few sips, I watch Lorenzo and Kendr

    Lorenzo's POV I'm done with Celestine. Well, maybe not exactly done with her, but I'm seething mad right now. I actually took the time to plan together that date and afterward I had a surprise planned but she just had to have one of her weird mood swings again and cut the night short. Add in the fact that she blatantly skipped dinner to avoid seeing me even after our previous conversation regarding those issues. So yes, I have every right to be angry."What on earth did that cup do to you?" Luke's voice sounds from behind me, along with the loud music which drifts in from the opened patio door and then it shuts out once Luke closes the door back.I sigh, resuming my glaring at the poor defenseless plastic cup which is bearing the brunt of my anger. "What's wrong with you?" Luke's voice sounds closer now but I still don't turn around to acknowledge his presence. Instead, I take a pump from my cigarette, blowing the smoke into the air, and watch it scatter away."That's it. I have ju

    Lorenzo's POVAir flows in and out of my lungs in heavy breaths as I eat up the distance between us in fast long strides. James isn't an asshole. In fact, he is one of my close friends- that's when he isn't talking- but seeing his hands wrapped around Celestine's waist makes me livid and like a raging bull, all I see is red.I'm fucking Lorenzo Ademaro. I don't chase women. As conceited as it may seem, getting women to notice me didn't take much effort. Never once have I found myself chasing after someone who times after time has proven that she doesn't want to be chased by me. Yet I still find myself striding over to them.Both Luke and Celestine are startled as I take hold of Celestine's wrist, effectively interrupting their conversation. "Follow me.""Come on man. I know she's your sister but just give her a break." His hand close around her arm, the same one I'm holding onto and I glare at it, wishing it to burst into flames."Just stay out of it, ok?" I brush his hand off hers a

    Lorenzo's POVI lean down, whispering in her ear. "Is Little Miss Perfect crying just because I called her a slut?" I can feel the rapid rise and fall of her breasts against my chest. "I mean, was I wrong? Aren't you having fun pulling my strings? Or maybe I'm not enough for you. That's why you're after James too, right?""I hate you." Her voice cracks at the end of her words."Did I leave anything out?"She starts trashing again, trying to buck me off her but my body stays still."Come on!" I challenge, wanting to get a rise out of her. Anything at all. "Admit it! You've been playing me! You're just a dirty little slut!"And then she screams, "I have never been with anyone but you, bastard!"I stop. It's like the whole world stops moving. Even the air around us stills. The only thing I can hear in my head are those words. I'm the only person she has ever been with? No. That's a lie. I'm shaking my head before I know it. She's definitely lying. I don't even realize when the laugh po

    Celestine's POV "You texted me back. You told me I should forget about you. That you just wanted to sleep with me and that there was nothing more you wanted from me. You told me you had just been playing me."Lorenzo lets go of my hands held up against the wall. He staggers back to the opposite wall. "So it was- it was my fault."I drop my hand to my side, my wrists feel raw but I ignore them, walking closer to Lorenzo. Why is he saying it's his fault? "You said your dad confiscated your phone right? It wasn't your fault.""Yeah, sure." He laughs bitterly. "But it has been a year since I left the school he shipped me off to. I could have come back here. I could have come back for you.""You saw me kissing someone else." I don't know why I'm shifting the blame to myself. It wasn't my fault but it wasn't Lorenzo's either. We both aren't to blame for what happened two years ago."But I shouldn't have just walked away when I saw you kissing him. I should have confronted you. I should hav

    Lorenzo's POVI chuckle, my lips leaving Celestine's nipple with a pop sound. I kiss my way up her neck to her ear where I whisper, "you only cum when I'm inside you."Celestine's breath hitches and the pulse in her neck goes wild."Stand up." She slips back the arm of her dress but doesn't zip it back up. I wait for her to get up on her foot then I push myself off the floor. Crowding into her space, Celestine backs up until she is caged between the wall and me. "Turn around." I need Celestine with a fierce I can't control. I only pray I don't hurt her in the process of sating that need.Breathing through my nose, I force myself to calm down, counting up to three before speaking again. "Hands on the wall, legs apart and don't fucking come." She obeys my first two commands and I go down on my knees. "And oh, try not to scream too much."Rolling up her dress, I hold it up then I dive down to taste her. Through her white silk panties. I press the flat of my tongue on it, turning it stic

    Celestine's POV Just how hard can it be? I just have to convince my mom to let me spend the last two weeks of my summer holiday with Lorenzo. No biggie. How hard can that be?I head downstairs and into the kitchen to see my mom making breakfast. Standing at the entrance for a minute, I go over my plan again in my head then I walk over to her, leaning on the cabinet beside her. "Good morning, Mom.""Good morning. Hope you slept well." She smiles brightly at me and then goes back to flipping the pancake on the stove."I did. How about you?" I lightly push her aside, nudging her with my shoulder and taking over the frying of the pancakes."I did. Thank you," she mutters, untying her apron and dropping it on the counter. "So mom," I start, placing the last pancakes onto the pile of already fried ones and turn off the stove. "I and Eve with some group of friends were planning to go on a road trip before the summer is over. You know, get a little bit of fun in before the workload starts."

    Lorenzo's POVI stand outside my father's door, contemplating my next move. Celestine has done her part. The whole plan depends on me being able to carry out my part and I'll be damned if I don't at least try my hardest.Knocking on the door, I stand back with my hands shoved into my pocket."Come in," His deep voice calls out.I place my hand on the doorknob, turn it, and enter into the room then I close the door behind me."What's it, Lorenzo?"Who would have thought that the person I hate the most shares a similar face structure as mine? That he would be my own fucking father?I want to scream. I want to yell at him and ask him why he did that. Why he ruined my life? But doing that won't solve anything. He will figure it out. He's not an idiot. He will find out somehow that Celestine is the same girl he sent that message to. I'm just going to keep it all in until the time is right. Until I can stand in front of him and make him provide answers to all my questions. I'm going to st

    A few days later.Lorenzo's POV I never thought I would be back here. I step inside the beach house with Celestine behind me."It looks the same," I say, taking off my shoes and switching on the light by the wall. The place lights up and everything comes into view; the blue walls, the hardwood floor, the framed seascape wall art, the seashell-adorned mirrors, and the view. Jesus, the view. It's the best thing about the place.Celestine walks past me and opens the door to the balcony overlooking the beach. She leans on the railing, her shoulders tensed. I know her mind is running wide with the impulsive decision we both just took. Personally, I believe in doing something and then facing whatever the outcome may be head-on. Celestine is a different breed from me. I'm sure she's wondering if she took the right step by running away with me for two weeks. I need her to stop thinking.Walking over to her, I wrap my hands around her waist, pulling her back to my chest and resting my chin on

    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
