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
Lorenzo's POV I carry Celestine to the bedroom with her legs wrapped tightly around my waist. She refused to walk, claiming that I had eaten the strength out of her legs. I couldn't even argue with her. Setting her on her feet, I take the towel draped around my neck and wrap it around Celestine, soaking up the droplet of water on her body. Then I do the same for myself. I drop the towel into a hamper in the bathroom and head back into the bedroom to find Celestine sitting on the edge of the bed, her legs tugged under her ass.She pats the spot beside her and I walk over, taking a seat. Before I know what's happening, Celestine pushes me onto the bed by my shoulders then she straddles my hip, my hard cock pressed between us. "Just lay back." She presses both my wrists into the bed."Ok. If you say so." I cross my hands behind my head using them as a headrest.Celestine smiles and places a chaste kiss on my lips then bypasses to my neck. I'm not a sensitive person by nature by the fe
Lorenzo's POVI've never been happier than this- with Celestine's head on my chest and her light snores brushing the hairs on my body. Running my hand down her back, I lay there, thinking. I can't shut the thoughts out as they drift into my head unbidden. What's going to happen to Celestine and me after these two weeks are over? Are we going to keep our relationship hidden forever? Is there even another option for us?Sighing, I press a kiss against Celestine's forehead and she snuggles closer to me. My chest squeezes.I'm not going to overthink this. I'm just going to enjoy each and every moment I can get with Celestine for however long that might be.Slipping out from under Celestine proves to be a difficult task. She is like a vise wrapped around me. It takes me prying her arms off my person for her to let go but thankfully she doesn't wake up from all the shuffling around I did. Instead, she grabs a pillow and clutches it to her chest. Great. I'm jealous of a pillow. Just how low
Celestine's POV "What should we do now?" I ask, sitting on the edge of the bed and watching Lorenzo towel dry his hair, his bicep bulges, making my thighs clench together. 'Stop that Celestine,' I chide myself internally. Has Lorenzo turned me into a sex addict? Or have I always been this sex-starved?"How about a movie?"A collective agreement and a few minutes later then Lorenzo slips underneath the cover of the bed and props the bowl of popcorn on the bed between us."What are we watching." He asks as I start the movie. I had been in charge of picking the movie while he got the popcorn ready and I had chosen a random one off Netflix that had a good rating. "A walk to remember." Lifting the bowl of popcorn, I slide over to Lorenzo, burrowing under his arm which he drapes around my shoulder. Our joined thighs make for a makeshift table that holds the popcorn. Yes, I'm like a cocoon.The movie starts.Halfway through the movie and I know I've screwed up. How is this supposed a ro
Lorenzo's POV Who's at the door?"Go hide in the room." I mouth to Celestine, standing up and moving to the door but not opening it. I watch Celestine scurry into the room and wait until she shuts the door behind her before I turn the knob on the door and open it."Hey." It's Joey and Louis.I nearly slide down the door as relief pours over me in waves. Opening the door wider, I step aside for them to come in."We saw the light on last night and seeing as nobody has been here for years, we thought someone broke in." Louis stops in the middle of the room, looking at the mess on the table consisting of cards, poker chips, and an opened bottle of tequila. He turns around and arches an eyebrow at me, "You have a guest with you?""Yes." I move over to the room and knock lightly on the door. Celestine opens it, creating just enough space for her to fit her head through. "You can come out now." I shift to the side so she can see Louis and Joey."Of course," Louis says, smiling and walking o
Celestine's POV "What did you need to get?" I ask Joey as we step into Walmart."Don't tell Louis. Or Lorenzo," she warns, pointing a finger at me.Ok, now I'm interested in what this is. I nod, agreeing to her condition."I'm getting a pregnancy test," she beams, practically glowing in total.My mouth drops open, my jaw meeting the floor. It takes a while before I pick it back up. "What?!" Odd looks and glares are thrown our way. "What?!" This time lowers but still not losing the surprise that can obviously be held in my voice. "That's fucking fantastic news." "I know," she says grinning then her smile dims. "I'm not sure though and I didn't want to tell Louis yet in case it turned out to be nothing but a false alarm.""Let's go find out then." I take her hand, interlocking our fingers together, and drag us into a pharmacy. We head over to the counter, get the test- three different kinds just to be accurate- then find a bathroom to take them.I wait outside the bathroom while Joey
Celestine's POV "Let's go find you something." She pulls me by my hand into the store, ignoring my protests. And trust me, they were a lot of them."Which should we go with?" Joey holds up a corset that comes with suspender belts and a crotchless underwear set. She holds them up in front of my body, exchanging one for the other a few times. "Fuck it. Let's get both."She pulls me- something she seems to be doing a lot today- to the checkpoint, places the two outfits on the counter, and pulls out her wallet."No. I'll pay for it," I say, reaching into my purse for my wallet."Nonsense." She swats my hand just as I extend my credit card to the cashier. "Think of it as a thank-you gift." She gives the lady behind the counter her card instead.I let out a tiny thank you as the lady rings up our purchase and puts it in a bag for us. She hands it to Joey and Joey passes it over to me. "I hope you enjoy the gift," she comments with a sly smile on her face. I can feel my face heat up. "Let'
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
