Lorenzo's POV"Why did you tell me to meet you up here?" Luke asked, sliding into the booth with me."I need your help with something." I pick up the menu, skimming through it in case something catches my eye."What is it?" He picks up the other menu, going through the same process as me."I need to pick out a ring," I say in a flat tone.It's almost comical the way Luke slams his menu on the table and screams, drawing looks from the other people in the restaurant. "What the fuck! You're getting married?" Looks he ignored."It's a promise ring, not an engagement ring." I have thought this through. I'm not delusional to think that the next few years will be easy on Celestine and me, but hopefully having those rings as a symbol of our love will give us the strength and courage to go through those hard times together."Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry." Luke slaps his forehead. "It's almost as if a promise ring isn't given to someone you have the intention of marrying." He places a hand on his chest
Lorenzo's POV.I pay for the ring, and Luke and I move on outside to our cars parked in the driveway."Thank you for helping me pick out a ring," I say, opening the door to the driver's seat just as Luke opens his."You're welcome." He leans on the roof of his car. "Tell me how it goes.""You never answer your calls." I remind him.He rolls his eyes. "Then leave me a message, dumbass." He bends down and enters his car, driving away before I can string together an answer to tell him how much I love his choice of words.Bastard.I enter mine too and drive out of the driveway in the direction of the beach. I stop at a grocery store to get the beef that I had used as an excuse to get out of the house so Celestine wouldn't be suspicious.Outside the door, I reach into my pocket and pull out the box containing the ring. Opening it up, I bring out the ring, turning it slightly so the writing inside is visible. It reads, 'allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you', in cursive le
Lorenzo's POVPlacing Celestine on her ass on the bed, I walk over to the wardrobe, open it and move things around, searching for the tie I know I kept somewhere in here.My finger grazes a silk material and I pull it out. Got it! It's the tie.Going back to Celestine, I pull her up by her arm and make her turn around, her back facing me.I wrap the tie around her wrists, tying it in a loose double knot then I turn her back around and push her down to her knees so her eye level is the same as my crotch.My hand reaches down, unfastening the button in my jeans and then pulling down the zipper. My jean falls to my foot in a pool and I step out of it, kicking them aside. I reach into my brief and pull out my hard cock that has been arching to be inside Celestine's mouth.I grab Celestine's hair in a fist, using it as a leash to pull her head back. "Open up."Celestine moans then her lips part, her tongue sliding out and catching the precum on the tip of my cock. She swallows it, moans, a
Lorenzo's POVFinding my footing, I walk over to Celestine and drag her up to her feet. "How about round two?""Are you sure you can handle that? I don't want you to pass out on me." There's that glint in her eyes. The glint that says she's testing me and wants to see how long before I snap.The cheeky brat. We'll see who's going to pass out."Sweetie, I think you're mistaking me for yourself. I remember you being the one begging me to stop because you couldn't go another round." I wrapped my hand around her waist, pulling her to my chest. "Hopefully you won't fall asleep this time.""I didn't fall asleep," she says, her chin thrusting out stubbornly."Sure you didn't. Whatever makes you sleep well at night, sweetie." I don't even have the energy to argue with her right now.Just as she's about to counter my argument again, I shut her up with a kiss before the first word even gets out.After thoroughly kissing Celestine, I pull away, my lips still over hers just in case she decides to
Celestine's POV Lorenzo found a sketchbook and some pencils somewhere in this house and now he has taken it upon himself to draw me in every task I'm performing.Right now, I'm reading a book and Lorenzo is seated on the floor with his sketchbook propped on the edge of the bed. He looks at me and then at his sketchbook severe times and now, I'm starting to get curious."Can I see it now?" I ask, stretching my neck forward to peep at the drawing. For some reason, he says I'm not allowed to see it until he's done."No." He shuts the book quickly. "Scoot back." He makes a shooing gesture with his hand while glaring at me.Rolling my eyes, I lean back on the bed headboard, flipping to the next page of the book I'm reading.My stomach grumbles and I clutch it, shutting my book closed. "Lorenzo, I'm hungry," I whine.Lorenzo looks up from his sketchbook, the end of his pencil between his teeth. "What would you like to eat?" He uses the pencil as a page marker and closes the sketchbook, set
Celestine's POV Lorenzo raises a dark blue two-piece suit above his head. "What about this?"I observe it. The color and material are both nice but... "No. Not good enough.""Ahh." He groans, keeping the suit back on the hanger. "Which do you deem good enough then?" He gestures to the rack filled with suits.A black suit catches my eyes and I pull it out, holding it against his body as I take a good look at it. I shove it into his chest. "Go try it on."Five minutes later, Lorenzo emerges out of the changing room, clasped in the black suit and I immediately know that the suit on him is definitely the one.We go to the ladies' department next to pick out a dress for me."How about this?" Lorenzo holds up a red flowing dress with beads adorning the chest. It's not bad. It actually looks nice."I'll go try it on." I take it out of his hand and head over to the changing room.Why do things like this always happen to me? The muscles in my arms are protesting being bent in an awkward posit
Celestine's POV I'm insane for doing this. Insane for letting Lorenzo shove my panties into my mouth. Insane for letting him get down on his knees while I place my hands on the wall and open my legs like a slut for him. Insane for pushing my ass into his face as he eats me out from behind. His day-old scruff feeling pricky against my tender skin. He moans and the vibration going right to my core. Lorenzo was right when he said I would need the panties in my mouth. That panties is the only stopping us from getting caught right now, the fact that we are in a tiny ass dressing room doesn't stop my cries of pleasure."You are so fucking beautiful, you know that right?" Lucenzo asks, his tongue flicking my clit and I scream, the panties in my mouth muffling it. "Perfectly pink," a lick down my pussy. "wet as fuck," his tongue passes through my pussy lips. "and so fucking sweet." His tongue sinks into my pussy.I'm practically melting into his hand, thrusting my hips back into his face,
Celestine's POV Lorenzo stretches out his hand, assisting me in getting out of the car. I get out of the car and walk beside him as he hands over the car key to the valet outside the door."Fancy," I murmur, out of ear reach of the young gentleman."Anything for milady." His accent is exaggeratingly deep as he says the last word and I find myself laughing softly. Lorenzo joins in.We are then led by the receptionist to a table for two placed at the window. A band at the corner of the room plays a slow rhythm and a few couples are twirling around the makeshift dance floor. It's everything I imagined.Lorenzo pulls out my chair for me and pushes me in once I've had my seat. Then he walks over to the other end of the table and has his seat."That dress looks gorgeous on you," Lorenzo says.I look down at myself. The dress I'm wearing is a red silky dress which has a deep V-line neck and is cut at the knee. It hugs my body tightly and I have to admit that I do look good. "You don't lo
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
